"A little too much fat or carbohy- d'ate in the diet mayeventually re• Isutt in obesity which is frequently never properly corrected," says the service. "An insufficient amount of certain of the vitamins may produce serious disease; permanent deformity, and sometimes death, if not corrected' in time. It is Indeed fortunate for our well-being that the selection of the proper food is .tot difficult. The foods we should eat can be determin- ed without the aid of a dietitian and are available in every city, "In addition to water there are five groups of substances that must be present in our diet if we axe to remain healthy: Vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Diets, when deficient at all, are likely to be defi- cient in minerals and vitamins, and the housewife should be particular to secure an adequate supply of these • substances. "We now know cf several different vitamins, all of which must be in the diet if health is to be maintained. These can be conveniently, considered in three classes: First, those obtained with fats—such as butter, cream and fish -liver oils; second, those which are destroyed by cooking and which are obtained with fresh, uncooked vege- tables and fruits, such as lettuce, cab- . bage, tomatoes, oranges, apples, etc,; and third, the vitamin not harmed by cooking and obtained principally with lean meats •and milk. MINERALS ARE NECESSARY. "Minerals are necessary for the proper formation of bones and blood. Milk is one of the most important foods we have for richness in miner- als and vitamins, It supplies most of the vitamins and all of the min- erals we need except iron. It is espe- cially rich in line. Oatmeal is fairly rich in vitamins and minerals. Dried beans contain iron, phosphorus and ,i. calcium:. Spinach, lettuce, ,cabbage -'nd other green leafy ;ye t •' niineral5"ante''Vit .'�.J-••'" ;ry' c oes, oranges and applesalso :.o be recommended. "The next most important thing to b., considered is the protein. The pro. per kind and amount of protein must be present or normal growth and de- yelopment will not take place. It has been estimated that the daily diet of .an average man should contain about three and one-half ounces of protein. If we secure our protein in the cheep - est manner (that is, in vegetables, particularly beans of various kinds), eve obtain a protein of poor quality, and in order to make the diet correct we must add protein of higher qual- ity, such as that from milk, milk pro- ducts, meats, fish and eggs. Those who tan afford it usually prefer to have most of their protein in the more Costly form of eggs and Meat on ac- count of their palatability. Protein from milk and neat is known as com- plete protein, on account of its good quality and the fact that it does not require the addition of protein from other sources. "After attending to these items, the • energy value of the diet should be • taken into consideration. We must know how much to eat in order to have enough fuel to •do our work without using the body tissues. In order to know this we estimate the fuel value el the diet in calories. The calorie is Simply a convenient unit of measure. One ounce of protein or carbohydrate tupplies about 115 calories, and one Bunce of fat about 264 caloiies; and so all that we have to do is determine the composition and amount of food we "eat in order to know the fuel value Of our diet. Most books on nutrition rfffr and dietetics give tables showing the caloric value of definite amounts of the amnion foodstuffs. It, has been estimated that a man or woman living a quiet life at home, with little exer- cise, needs about 2,500 calories a day; if 'working, without much exercise, 3,000 calories; on light work, 3,5 0 calories; and if doing hard work, 4,000 or more calories are necessary. "Fats are important additions to the diet on account of their high energy value, They supply about twice asmuch energy as an equal weight of protein or carbohydrate, and thus relieve the body of the ne- cessity of dealing with an excessive amount of material in order to obtain a large number of ca'ories. The most important fatty font?s are butter and. cream because of their palatability and ease of assimilation, and because they carry vitamins with them. It is difficult to obtain a sufficient caloric intake in a diet which is without fat. However, an excessive amount of fat tends to cause digestive upsets in cer- tain individuals and gives a disagree- able feeling of heaviness after eating. On the other hand, a proper quantity gives a desirable feeling of comfort and wellbeing. Improperly fried foods should be avoided, since grease soak ed through the food tends to obstruct the work of the digestive fluids. "Carbohydrates are necessary in order for the body properly to use the protein: and fats in the diet; and for this reason the bulk of the diet should be made up of carbohydrates, which may be obtained from the large number of starchy and sweet foods. "In addition to snaking the diet nu- tritionally sound, there are other im- portant things to be considered. A eertain amount of bulk seems to assist the body in handling the waste pre - ducts" of digestion. A sufficient quan- tity is usually obtained from the green vegetables in the diet. "Another factor is palatability, An attractive table of well-prepared food tends to increase food consumption. The diet may also be planned so that there will be no feeling of hunger at the end of the meal. Certain foods are known to have a greater satisfy- ing value than others. Meats of vari- ous kinds are most imp ;cunt in this respect."Butter and others fats and soupe containing meat extractives, are also valuable; and a dessert or other sweet food taken at the end of the meal, increases its satisfying effect. Thus, a prominent nutritionist states that a meal consisting of, first, a soup containing meat extractives; second, neat and potatoes, to which may be added starchy vegetables; then a sal- ad with an oil dressing, and ending with a dessert, gives the greatest degree of satisfaction. 4 -- t i - t Colors Sunday School.

ANALYSIS, L DIVINE CRACK AND HUMAN DUTY, Vs. 1, 2. II. UNDIVIDED LOYALTY, v. 3, III. TRUE WORSHIP, vs. 4-11. INTRODUCTION—The law was given amid scenes of great solemnity. The people were made to remain at the foot of Mount Sinai, while Moses, their leader, went alone up the moun- tain to the presence of the Most High, 19: 12, 13, 20. Meanwhile the moun- tain shook with a quake; it was felled with smoke, fire, lightnings, and was shrouded with a thick cloud, 19: 18, In these mighty convulsions, nature was declaring its solemn Amen to the law of God. The commandments are a condensed manual of right conduct. They set forth in the first part (vs. 1-11) man's duty to God, and in the second part,` his duty to his fellow men, vs. 12-17. They are, properly speaking, prohibi- tions rather than commandments. T. -hile brief in form, they are yet corn- prehensive enough to cover almost the whole of man's life. I. DIVINE GRACE AND HUMAN DUTY, Vs. 1, 2. In this preface, regarded by the Jews as the first commandment, God suggests the motive which should in- spire Israel to observe his law. He had rescued his people from the slav- ery of Egypt. Since be had secured their redemption, lie had the right to claim his people's obedience. Before he had given the law he had shown his redeeming love. -If viewed in this light, his law could not seem harsh to Israel. It was their reasonable ser- vice to him who had redeemed them. II. UNDIVIDED LOYALTY, v. 3. God's first requirement :s the wor- ship of himself alone. To us it seems so obvious that there is only one. God, that we can scarcely conceive how Israel could be tempted to worship a number of gods. Yet that temptation was very real throughout her history. The reason was twofold. " Many of the surrounding peoples had godswhich, like the Beals, were merely the deifica- tion of the forces of nature; if Israel desired the products of the soil she had better some argued, propitiate these divinities who presided over its fertility. Further, when a people like the Assyrians triumphed over Israel i war, there was a strong temptation to;regard the national god of Israel's • t on er than Tehoveh, eerie 4 ng`as s Meniber'ed the :majestic moral person- ality of God, and his redemptive acts in her history. M. TRUE woRSHII', vs. 4-11. Not only must God be worshipped, but he is to be worshipped worthily. This excludes the use of images. The great moment in the worship of Is- rael's heathen neighbors was when the image of their god was exhibited and all the people did homage. But sr ch worship is :tpt to become ma- terialized. Now God is a Spirit (Dent. 4: 12), a free and moral personality; he must therefore be worshipped in a spiritual rather than in a material way, Nothing in nature, either in the heavens with its sun, stars and birds, or in the earth with its beasts, nor in the sea with its fish, can adequately represent him who stands above na- ture and is not exhausted in it. To this commandment is attached an ap- pendix (vs. 5b,' 6), setting forth the penalties of disobedience, and the mercy that blesses widely all obedi- ence. In Hebrew society the unit was the family rather than the individual, The child who was born into a famhle entered, therefore, into the corse• quences of that family's past. The third commandment had to :1' with God's honor, In ancient society men regarded the name as cf peculiar significance. It usually described the characteristicsof him who bore it. Hence God's name stood for his char- acter as the guardian of righteous- ness, truth and goodness. Israel was warned against dishonoring God by uttering his name magically, frivol- ously or profanely. Probably "in vain" meant "without result" In this case this commandment would warn Israel that they were not to make a promise confirmed with the holy name of God and then never carry out that se c oco a e e .es er for covers or bokes are red, orange, or bright yellow. Brown is next, but green or blue have no sales appeal, according to manufacturers. It is said dull colors will actually deter a purchaser, even though the contents of the package are of the highest standard. Manufacturers are only just be- ginning to realize the importance of colors in the sale of their wares. Red and orange are warns colors; they ex- cite enthusiasm.

A Canoe Adventure "Do yeti think we'.11 be perfectly safe in camping out to -bight '" asked Lis - cine, as we paddled off is the dusk. "Safe es in e church" I answered cheerily. "We'll sleep on the bank, and,—" But, upon looking about me, I could perceive no bank, only a stretch of low, flat rocks. "Weren't there banks wizen we'starled this af- ternoon?" "Yes, quite high and steep. I re- member wondering why there weren't any Houses on them." Certainly the landscape was quite houseless, even forlorn; and so, as there was no good camping spot, we made shift for the night by anchoring near the rocks. We stretched out in the Nageonia's sixteen feet of cus- hioned length, and fell asleep. It was a few hours later when we awakened to face something as unex peeted as an earthquake. I+'oot by foot we, in au appallingly tilted canoe, were slipping downhill over slippery rocks, borne by the fast -retreating waters. Then, before you could say "Tide" the Nageoma jammed and we were left high, and dry among oozy boulders, limpets and seaweed. Out upon that uninviting prospect we sprang, fearing to strain the heavily laden canoe, and there we huddled for three pitch-black hours, while the' water sank downhill as if mermaids had pulled the stopper out of their bathtub. "Oh, why did we ever start this canoe -trip " moaned Lucine in the darkness. "Beds, dress -closets, kitch- enette, running water• -•-wilt 1 ever pea such things again?" "Don't mention running water," 1 replied, "What we need is some waterr that'll stand still for a moment," At dawn we perceived that we were lodged halfway down the slant of rocky precipice, at the bottom of which that innocent -looking Laltance meandered sweetly past its outflung banks, For there were banks, forty feet high, the only drawback being that La Ranee swallowed them up twice in every twenty-four hours. Hastily we unloaded the Nageoma, launched her, then set off on that all too brief incoming tide. That afternoon we found ourselves gliding along between cornfields where Yarns -Houses and fishing -smacks, curiously intermingled, lay perched above La Rance on such steep heights that we had to crane our necks for a glimpse of them. We crossed a wide' lagoon, then went ashore and climbed up thirty feet, being curious to know just why Breton farmers kept fishing- smacks ishingsmacks in their vegetable gardens. We found a znan seated on a goad - sized smack, whetting a scythe, while behind a ten -foot wall his wife was hanging out fish -nets in a cornfield. "Pardon," we said, "but are you a fisherman or a farmer?" "That all depends on the tide, mon- sieur," he answered. "At low sea one farms; at high sea one fishes. That is because at low sea there le no water at all, and at high sea there is no land." — Melville °hater, in "Two Canoe Gypsies." Where Kipling Edited `Copy" Simla, India.—The, newspaper on which Mr. Rudyar:. Kipling ,ince serv- ed as an assistant editor, the P.oneer, has passed from British control to Indian—making one of the most significant pieces of "Indianization" that has occurred in this country in recent years, writes the Simla corres- pondent of the Christian Science Mon- itor. First published in 1865, the newspaper has conscientiously served Anglo-Indian interests in India, and its change to an Indian -owned publi- cation is viewed in India as some- thing in the nature of a minor imper- ial event. Since its foundation, the Pioneer has virtually always repre- sented ep>-sented the best characteristics of the British connection with India, and for many years was considered the most important newspaper in the country, Kipling served on the Pioneer, at Allahabad, and the Civil and Military Gazette, at. Lahore, between 1882 and 1889. It was as a result of his con- nection with these newspapers that he developed his .flair for portraying In-: dian life and manners, and it was in n s a`�ei+s o 2i" to scene were produced. It is a popular habit with tourists and others in the LJuntry to drop in at the offices of both newspapers to see where ,Kip• ling wrote, and an editor of one of the journals recently said that scores of Americans make pilgrimages to the offices in Lahore and Allahabad for the purpose of seeing where Kipling actually wrote. The office of the Pion- eer today is virtually unchanged since the time when Kipling worked there. "Whipping" is Lauded By House of Lords London. ---The Lords and the Com- mons are at odds and all over the question of whether whipping is good for the juvenile offender, With several peers testifying they .-ad a birching in their youth and it did them good, the House of Lords inserted a provision in the Govern- ment's children's bill that children should be subject ta a birching by the police if the magistrate so orders. The bill, as sent up from the Com- mons, contained no such provision, the Commons having taken it out. Then the bill was sent back to the Lower House which will consider the question again.

Promises must be regarded as sacred and binding; otherwise God is dishonored. In the fourth com- mandment (vs. 8-11) God claimed for himself one day of the seven, in order to show his right to all the days. The seventh day is kept holy when it is set aside for God. Men set it aside for God when every member and de- pendant of the household ceases from all forms of work. The reason given for restraining from work on the Sab- bath is that God himself rested at the end of his week of creative work, Gen. 2: 2, 3. By tracing the Sabbath back to the creation, the suggestion is con- veyed that the Sabbath was wrought into the very structure of the universe. It rests on. no arbitrary whim, but upon a deep and abiding necessity, ordained of God, FRIENDSHIP Of all felicities, the most charming is' that of a firm and gentle friend- ship. It sweetens all our cares, dis- pels our sorrows, and counsels us in all extremities. Nay, if there were no other comfort in it than the bare ex, ercise of so generbus a virtue, even for that siugle reason a inau would not be without it; it is ,a sovereign antidote against alt calamities—even against the fear of death itself. —Seneca.

Queer Inventions Found Among U.S. Patents New York.—People who have been looking for an air-cooled rocking chair, goggles for their chickens, bullets that shoot around corners, or even a de- vice for creating and maintaining dimples, are herewith referred by H. A. Alien Smith, U.P. staff correspond- ent, to the United States patent office where specifications of suck articles are on file, duly stamped with the gov- ernment's approval. Two men have pried into the patent office records and out of their labors has come a compilation of strange in - The contrivances have been design- ed for a wide variety .of problems. There is, for example, a combination grocer's package, grater, slicer and mouse and fly trap. A balloon pro- pelled by harnessed eagles or vul- tures, patented in 1887; is pictured and described. Two methods of awakening the commuter are included. One is ase. alarm clock attachment which, squirts pya e o, the ,sleeepers y'r"iWi7.neck, While i,;000.9,iaC oaks in 7s%s face. A self -tipping derby hat, patented - in 1896, contains a mechanism in the crown. The gentleman, when the lady approaches, bows slightly, where, upon his hat tips by itself, leaving his arms free. An electric bedbug exterminator is so designed as to "kill or startle" the bug, in which case "it will more than likely change its mind and return in the direction whence it carne." In 1868 a novel idea on coins was born. It has a turret at the head, ex- tending to the surface of the ground, and is equipped with a small ladder for climbing out and a bell for attract - lug • attention in case the occupant happens to be buried prior to demise, The problem of shooing horses and cows off railroad tracks was solved in 1884 when a patent was issued for a locomotive attachment which throws a stream of hot water some distance ahead, thereby scalding the animals and warning them to keep their dis- tance. The air-cooled rocking chair is equipped with bellows beneath the seat and a snake -headed pipe running up the back and out over the rocker's head, so that he gets puffs of air on his scalp with each rock. And an improved foot -warmer con- silts of two tubes extending to a sin- gle mouthpiece through which the sleeper breathes his warm breath on to his heels.
