This is what takes all the grit one can muster, if we take it Diet problems are troubling many on easily, to hold the ground we have so dearly gained. It may actually be possible for them These curious effects are the result finds their path beset with difficulties, of the international date line, as astronomers and navigators harve agreed to call the 1.80tli meridian of longitude. When a. person. travels frora New "York to San Francisco, it is necessary for him to set his watch back an boor every time he enters a new time belt. When it is five o'clock in Nev York, it is four bit Chicago, three .in Deaver and two in San Fran - civet. If one were to keep on going around the world, setting his watch back an hour every fifteen degrees of longitude ,that he travelled, when he retuned to Nerw York, his watch would read the same as other clocks there, but it would be tpe same time the preceding day, for the watch would have been set back a full twenty-four hours! Of course. this is ridiculous, se that some place on the trip westward around the globe it is neoessary to add a day to make up for the one that would otherwise be lost. This is done at the international date line, and when ships or airplanes cress this line front east gide to west side, as did the Southern Cross, they must add a day. If it is Monday on the east stde it is Tuesday on the west. However, coming the other direc- i titan the clay must be drop -ped. There- fore, if, and when a 'plane travels from FoaTs, which is on the west side of the date line, to Honolulu, on the east, they might start on Tuesday, and after they had been out an hour or so it would be Monday, the day before. Suppose they started at 5 pan. oe Tuesday, after they had been away for a full twenty -lour hours it would be 5 p.m. on: Tuesday again! If they mene the sane speed as the Southern Cross they could take 35 hours for the trip, but arrived about eleven hours after they started, ara cording to the calendar. Perhaps the latter are more troub- led, for it means a period of sacrifice, lots of courage and perseverance and sticktoitiveness. It is easier in most instances to acquire flesh than to get rid. of that which we have accumu- Ta.ted. A BUNGALOW. A Se -Storey Building, Thatched Roof, Verandah All Round.

If there is nothing radi- cally wrong- there is no reason why the feeding process should not correct the trouble. The methods I am about to suggest are not perhaps, altogether orthodox, from a specialist's point of view, but they are sort of homemade and .include some of the neglected homely foods one does not select from choice. Lots of sunshine, fresh air, mod- erate exercises, plenty of sleep and a lot of water to drink, but no hot baths —just the ordinary ones for cleanli- ness with brisk rub down afterwards. We do not favor either tea or coffee, but plenty of milk. A moderate a- mount .of cocoa, and cream on cereals and stewed fruits, if used. Arse) avoid over -indulgence in pastries and candy, the reason being that thin people fre- quently eat such things at inoppor- tune times and dull their appetites for a regular meat THE COST OF MODERN HOSPITALITY What is hospitality and why? These questions we modern house- wives ask ourselves frequently after a siege of entertaining. We are of- ten carried away by our hospitable inclinations and give invitations with- out counting what the cost may be. Guests eat, food is expensive, help grumbles at extra work unless com- pensation is promised, and there are always little extras we don't expect to be counted. Old-fashioned hospitality meant on- ly switching places and putting on an extra plate, the guests shared what the afmily had. Today we feed these guests as they are generally supposed to live at home, or as they are fed at other tables. If they are simple peo- ple well and good. If not, their com- ing puts a painful crimp in the budget. There is hardly a table prepared for two, that there is not enough for three, four, five and so on. If we would offer our hospitality on the old basis this would work out all right, but we don't. If we are living on a budget, and hundreds today are getting the habit, we allow a certain amount for enter- taining, but it depends on who and how we entertain. We don't qualify it when we are budgeting and it is never enough. It is not the few added pounds of the plain foods, but the ex- tras that add to the cost. Entertain- ing has become a specialized art. Like it or not, we must do as others do or' be out of the social race. Many modern hosts take their guests to a restaurant, hotel, or a tea room for the luncheon or dinner they are offering. There, for a stated sum, the trick is done and no dishes to wash. In this way it is brough un- der the head of amusement in the budget book. Others entertain only informal and rather in - Good beef and vegetable soups pro- perly made, beef with rice in it, good roast beef and well cooked lamb dish- es are nourishing. Pork, salt foods or the white fishes are not as good for this diet. The red meated fish are better.

Check Up Extracts of Cod Liver OIL Theoretically the modern, well-be- haved baby licks his cod liver oil spoon and cries for more, says Seie execs Service, but apparently there are cases in -which the baby is not so well-behaved or else the oil does not agree with him. To meet these, a number of extracts, containing the essential vitamin A, and D, but with- out any of the oil, have been pro- duced. Reports from the Bureau of Home Econoirxics of feeding tests car- ried on with rats indicate that these extracts are not all they should be and need careful watching. One popular extract was made the subject of a nine months' test with 250 animals. It was found to con- tain not trace of vitamin D, both of which. are present in large amounts in cod liver oil. 1111111111111111111111111111111.1111INIMIMINNIMMEMINIMMISMIK 111 Cream and Eggs OUR TRUCKS ARE GATHERING 1.11 • • • • 111 CALL 271 FOR TRUCK SERVICE • • • • • 11 IN NI IN OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS NI 111 • 1 Talimmemonomorismosompoworemoriumennweviimminommimannuoneromommievemmanos 1111 ai ill 0 111 TIIE UNITED FARMERS' CO.OPERATIYE ma COMPANY, LIMITED.

Of course, a- void pastries, potatoes, rich soups, fat meat, cereals and cream. Exercise, drink plenty of water, do not lay abed morning but get up and hustle around. Do not eat between meals. Eat quan- tities of fruit, aII of the green lettuces possible, with salt or lemon juice or a very Iight French dressing, no may- onnaisse. Meat once a day, beef or Iamb, is enough for anybody, and a small slice of it, minus rich gravies and sauces. Asparagus is good, and fresh horse radish an agreeable con- diment. Fresh applesauce sweetened with honey, fresh rhubarb that has been soaked in boiling water before being cooked and is also sweetened with honey are about the best sauces for this diet. We allow that the diet has few high lights in it to attract the full feeder, but this is the price we must pay for overweight.

The dainty wax dolls of long ago have en- tirely disappeared from the American market. The old rag doll has evolved into a thing of rare beauty, made of finely woven stockinette, painted and profiled like a real child. Foreign and domestic artists and manufacturers have worked in unison with wonder- ful results. The indestructible toy is their goal. Each nation, naturally, models the dolls with their own characteristicts of face and figure. Expression of the eyes, lips parted to show the teeth, and coloring of the types make a won- derful variety to choose from. The Italian dolls can he dry cleaned—a new feature and a desirable one. Doll furniture has also undergone many changes. Cradles, for instance are made of willow, enamelled and decorated with flower garnitures, and the up-to-the-minute fittings, even to lace -trimmed and hemstitched linens. Boy dolls never seem to be the fa- vorite that the girls are, though there are many new, attractive ones. Dolls in occupational costumes are liked and made to order frequently. Doll specials are those modeled af- ter the pictures of their small future owners. The likeness is so perfect in many cases as to be uncanny.
