WATCH YOUR WEIGHT
The food taken into tiie body is
used either as a source of energy or
for tissue building. In order that it
tray be available for such purposes,
the food, as taken, passes through a
series of chemical changes which we
call digestion, following which it is
assimilated in the tissues. If is then
available for use as energy. Energy
is required to move the muscles; it
is also needed to keep the various
organs of the body inoperation, and,
in addition, it is required to maintain
the heat of the body. In order to
meet the body needs for energy, and
also to provide for growth and the
replacement of worn-out tissue, a cer-
tain amount of food is required. If
sufficient food is not taken, the body
functions below par, and, if an excess
over the amount required is taken, it
is stored up as fat. Outside of those
cases where there is disease which
xlpsets certain glands whose internal
secretions have some control over nu-
trition, the putting on of weight
-means that more food is being eaten
than is required.
The amount of food required by
different individuals varies a great
deal. The growing school child 're-
quires about as much as an adult,

but he is growing. Those individuals
whose occupations call' for vigorous
use of the muscles require more food
than do those who sit most of the
day. Even among those of similar
activity, there is a difference—one
person normally using more food- to
keep his body going than another.
By . keeping watch on your weight,
you can soon learn if you are eating
more than you need. Weight that
gradually increases over the normal,
taking into consideration age, sex and
height, is an indication that the food
intake should be reduced. It is much
easier to avoid overweight than it is
to reduce after the excessive pounds
have been added on.
It is a good plan to watch your
weight. It is not suggested you live
with one eye on the weight scales,
bat a check-up once a month is ad-
visable. in order to note any sudden
loss of weight and to guard against
increasing weight after the age of
forty, neither of which is desirable
from the health standpoint.

Coats -of -Arms Reveal the Blistory
cif
Families and Their Miriis
to Vie,
Heraldry is regarded by many pee-
ple as a quaint survival og mediaeval -
ism, As a matter of foot, in the
crests and .coats -of -arms of manyof
our noble families may one sein
epitome the history of those families
and their ohlef claims to fame, says
an article in Toronto Saturday Night.
Every year the. College of heralds,
which is the last authority on all
such matters, has to devise new arm-
orial bearings for newly - created
peers. The object of the designer is
to represent symbolically the claims
of the new nobleman to honor. In the
old days undoubtedly, the armorial
device stood for some exploit on the
field, but now -a -days, when the ma-
jority of honors fait to men who are
strangers to war, the device is sym-
bolic of some less romantic calling.
Donald Smith, a Scots lad,
em
i-
gratedtowork-
ed
Canada.io years hewo k-
ed without recognition in the service'
of the Hudson's Balt' Company. But
he was a man of unique character,
and in time when the Canadian Pa-
cific Railway was started he took a
part in that great enterprise. In the
end he was created Lord Stratheona.
But he came of humble stock, he had
no armorial bearings, and these had
to be devised.
The conventional emblems did not
appeal to him, and the heraldic ex-
pert had to devise an armorial device
which would tell in epitome the rise
and achievement of this sturdy. Scot.
In this way in olden days armorial
devices were designed, and so, Donald
Smith, Baron Stratheona and Mount
Royal took under royal patent arm-
orial bearings which told the story of.
his arduous life.
These arms show four mien in a
canoe, a hammer and nail, surmount-
ed by a crest showing a beaver chew-
ing at a tree. The supporters of this
device showed a trooper of Strath-
cona's Horse on the one side and a
common railway construction worker
on the other.
To a remote generation, when the
genesis of the family of Strathcona is
lost in the mists cf time this: armorial
device may seem as" strange as are
Many of the old devices to us. But
it puts on record for all time the
great achievement of a man of iron
so that the student, and his own de-
scendants may point with pride to
the patent and its device which sets
the seal of worth on the achieve-
ments of a man who did great things.
In many of the coats -of -arms of
famous families may be obtained a
clue to their origins. Thus, for exam-
ple Lord Cunliffe, a banker, took as
supporters the two figures which
"support" armorial bearings two
Bank of England porters. Lord Ash-
field, chairman of the Underground,
has two electrfeians as supporters.
Lord Askwith, once famous as a
settler of strikes, has chosen for sup-
porters two doves. Lord Vimborne,
whose forebears were commoner, en-
gaged in the prosaic trade of build-
ing, has embodied that circumstance
in his supporters by making them .a
stonemason and a carpenter.
It is . customary when a K.C. is
made a master of the Bench of his
Inn and Treasurer or Reader of it, to
have Ms armorial bearings inscribed
on the panels of the Hall of the Inn,
But sometimes it so happens that the
Bencher is a self - made man whose
family has no armorial bearings.
Sometimes, in such cases, the legal
luminary applies to the College of
Heralds for a "grant of arms." But
in at least one case — that of Dr.
Blake, Odgexa,.the, celebrated .author-
ity on the law of libel and slander,
the newly -elected Bencher refused to
apply for a grant of arms. He was,
however, allotted a shield on the old
oak panels of the Halls of his Inn,
the Middle Temple, but the shield
was left blank. Perhaps more than
any other shield in this •ancient Hall,
that of'the learned doctor-whmscorn-
ed official recognition of his worth
stands out. It is a . curiosity that is
always pointed out to visitors -the
blank shield without armorial device,
supporters or crest.
In this way history is made. Arm-
orial bearings are meant to give us
the clue to the origin • and achieve-
ments of the possessor --and if that'
possessor blandly proclaims his orig-
in as without knightly significance,
his blank coat. of arms speaks more
eloquently of his worth than many
fine but • meaningless heraldic
devices.

number of telephones in use in the
Old Country at the end of last May
was 1,775,870, an increase of 13,246
over the previous month.
At the end of 1928 the numbers
of telephones in use in the five larg-
est telephone -using countries were as
follows: United States, 19,341,000;
Germany, 2,950,430; Great Britain,
1,759,60; Canada, 1,841,219;

Paper at the magical rate of 500 feet
a minute..
Paper is so nearly the commonest
thing in the world that few of as
give it a second thought, says an ar-
ticle in Answers. Yet please remem-
ber that it has more uses than any
other article made by man, and that
new uses are being found for it every
day..
We laughed when we heard that
Germany was using paper for clothes
for workmen during the war, and
selling suits at four shillings each.
But these garments, some of which
were exhibited at the War Museum,
then he at the Crystal Palace; were very
remarkable indeed. They did not look
In the least like paper, but appeared
to be of cotton. They did not pulp.
when soaked in water; what is more,
they could be washed, and were actu-
ally softer and thicker after washing
than when they were new.
Rainproofs oan be made from paper
yarn, also tablecloths, curtains, hand-
kerchiefs, collars, and even carpets.
There used to be a joke about the
gentleman who wore a "penny paper
collar," but the paper collar of to -day
looks and wears like linen.
Japanese papers have always been
noted for their tough quality, one of
the strongest being produced from
the fibre of the mulberry -tree. A rear-
admiral of the Japanese navy invent-
ed a process for making this paper
waterproof and •airproof, so that it
could be used to make collapsible
lifeboats. Jointing was effected by
the use of a special cement.
Sandbags made of this paper were
used in great quantities during the
war, also bags for flour, cement, and
similar materials of a powdery na-
ture. Even air cushions and bladders
for footballs were formed of it. For
binding books paper has proved even.
more durable than leather itself.
A company hi Yokohama 'made
quantities of paper shirts for the Rus-
sian army, and also turned outover-
coats made of two layers of this
paper, with a thin layer of silk wad-
ding between. Paper clothes have
been found most valuable by airmen,
as they prevent cold from entering or
heat from escaping. Paper is one of
the worst conductors of heat.
It must be remembered that we
owe the whole of our marvellous ar-
tificial silk industry to paper. Joseph
Wilson Swann, the Englishman who
first made artificial silk by the squirt-
ing process, made it out of a pulp of
wood and cotton.
Paper can be spun into threads
fine enough to make gas mantles, or
into hawsers strong enough to moor
a ship.
Many solid things can be and are
made of paper. Trays, for instance,
chairs, tables even things which have
to stand great wear and strain, such
as wheels for railway coaches. Paper
can be made to masquerde as leather,
walnut, mahogany, ebony, even as
marble. A complete piano frame has
been made of paper pulp, and the in-
strument was found to have an excel-
lent tone.
During the great war the Italian
soldiers who held, advanced posts
high in the Alps kept themselves
warm by burning fuel made of paper.
It was waste paper pressed into solid
rods, then cut into short lengths and
packedinbundles-that could' be oar—
ried on muleback, being a good deal
lighter than wood fuel.
Gardeners find paper valuable in
many ways. Pieper caps are used to
cover blooms that have been special-
ly'cross-fertilized, and paper is used
for keeping frost from delicate flow-
ers-
low-
ers ..or. fruits.....A. pineapple::,. grower- in
Hawaii Covera the whole ground be-
tween his plants with black paper.
This keeps the ground completely
clear of weeds, and at the same time

plants grow more rapidly than theS
would have done otherwise.
Down In Rio.
That a Frenchman in a new coon•
try will open a cafe, a German a gen.
eral store, and a Briton a bank, has
long been an axiom regarding the
men of those races in foreign lands.
That regarding the Briton might
be amended by stating that along
with the bank goes the Church of
England. In Rio, which is a city of
churches, an English Church, has
been the meeting place for the Brite
ish community for 110 years.
In the present plans to improve
the city by cutting new and widening
old avenues the English church was
doomed to disappear, but changes.
. have . been made in the plans so that
it will continue in the site it has
occupied since 1819.
Hints For Homebodies
Written for The Advance -Times

J'essLe ,Allen Brown.
A good cook needs to have a bit
of detective ability in her makeup, to
be able to find out what is different
in an interesting dish which is serv-
ed to her, The other day I had two
dishes that were rather different for
dinner ata hotel. One of them was
Turkey Giblets and was made I think
like this.
Turkey Giblets au Gratin
Cut the cooked giblets and some of
the turkey into small chunky pieces.
Make a sauce in the proportion of 2
tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons but-
ter, and one cup stock made from the
turkey bones. Add ' the turkey and
giblets to the sauce and put in a cas-
serole. Now comes the part that was
new to me. Sprinkle the top lightly
with grated cheese and place in the
oven. until the cheese is melted and
slightly browned. This should be eq-
ually good with chicken instead of
turkey.
Lima Beans
Lima Beans were served with this
and were more delicious than any
lima beans that we had ever tasted.
The flavour was elusive and we could
not fathom it, so we asked the wait-
er if he knew. He was just as ignor-
ant as we were, but at our suggestion`
he asked the cook, who very oblig-
ingly told how they were cooked. The
beans were soaked over night with
carrots, onions, and ham skins. They
were cooked until soft which takes
almost an hour, with the vegetables
and ham skins, and then drained. But-
ter and salt and pepper were added
to the beans which were'served with-
out the other vegetables. I tried this
out at home, and used 1 carrot and
1 small onion. To get the ham skin
I bought a thick slice of smoked ham
which I cooked in milk. If ham was
not available, a slice of bacon should
make a good substitute.
Southern Ham
Spread a slice of ham sparingly
with mustard and sprinkle with
brown sugar. Put in a baking dish
and cover with milk. Bake about 30
minutes in a moderate oven, 350.
Gravy may be made if desired, by
thickening the milk remaining in the
pan with flour. Serve with baked po-
tatoes, and a leafy vegetable such as

Chinese women, eagerly striking
out for freedom, have hit a. snag..
,Divorces have appeared as a phase of
the emancipation of women. Now
that the sexes, among educated
classes, have been mingling socially
and professionally, it is inevitable
that men who married under the old
system of childhood betrothals should
meet women who make them forget
their Wives. Divorcesare easy to ob,'
fain in China, but seconds husbands
are not. A discarded wife, therefore

Home Made Candy
There is an art about making can-

smooth candy than it is to make the
poor sugary kind. After having
bought a box of candy at a candy
sale, and finding so many varieties
r thoughtpossibly
and sugary, I P y
a few hints as to candy malting
might prove useful,
Teach the children to make candy
as the home made kind is sure to be
pure. Then it provides them with an
occupation on stormy days, and inci-
dentally teaches them a little about
cooking. There is no reason why
boys should not make as good candy
as girls.
Maple Cream
2 cups brown sugar
cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
teaspoon vanilla
Nuts if desired
One of the difficult things about
making candy is to keep it from burn-
ing. I melt the butter in the pan first
then add sugar and milk, put over
heat and stir only until the sugar is
dissolved. Melting the butter helps
to prevent burning. If the pan is
placed on an asbestos mat it will
help considerably. Cook without stir-
ring until the sugar will form a soft
ball when dropped in cold water. Let
fine emphasize that, because there is.
the 'secret of creamy candy. When
cool stir until ready to spread, adding
vanilla and nuts during the stirring.
Spread an a buttered pan and cut in
squares. 6 cups of sugar and 13 cups
of milk snake a good plateful.
Fudge
2 cups brown sugar
2 squares chocolate or
4 tablespoons cocoa
3 cup milk
1 tablesoon butter
ti teaspoon vanilla
few grains salt
dates, raisins, cocoanut, walnuts,
almonds.
Melt butter, add sugar, salt, cocoa,
milk, and stir over a gentle heat un-
til dissolved. Boil until it will form
a soft ball when dropped in cold wa
ter, cooking gently so that it will
not scorch. About a minute before
removing from fire, add dates cut in
pieces, and raisins. Cooking them in
the syrup improves the flavour. Re-
move from the fire and let cool. Add
nuts and cocoanut and stir until it
is thick. Spread on a buttered pan
and cut in squares.
