'once in a 7s ing day. It '== - isn't absolute- ho o necessary, You By Marie Anne Best may keep on just as you are doing if you wish, but a fasting day performs good work. It sh.inks the stomach a; course it shaves off a few extra ounces. : "So if you intend to be home some - day, and are not very busily engaged, g0 on a milk diet for 24 hours. That is when meal time comes, take only 'a glass of milk three times a day with - a glass of warm milk before retiring at night. If you take whole milk it counts 160x4: 600 calories, while skim milk, which is just as good for you only minus the fat will count 80x4:320 calories. Perhaps you do not like milk. Fruit juice is just as good; one sm«ll glass for each meal, or eat the trosh fruit, } It might be well to pit in a warn- ing here. One day of fasting does not | mean two or three. You must not be- come too ambitious. It doesn't pay. Things worth while are not gained in a day. The one food diet cannot be indulged in for long becausé you would not get the proper amounts of protein, carbonhydrates, mineral and vitamines. It is interesting to know you are getting all these products in the proper proportions without the necessity of having to count them, if you eat just the common, wholesome, daily foods, comprising some of the meats, bread and dairy products with lots of fruit an! vegetables. You do need to count the calories, though, for 1t is the calories which have made you abnormal in weight. Then this prin- ciple of using Lulky vegetables and foods is fine for quieting hunger pangs and is a healthy diet apart from weight reduction. If a great excess of fat has been carried around an ab- dominal belt, adjusted as the weight comes down, will give comfort. Then as one becomes accustomed to the diet a gradual feeling of increased pep and vitality will result. At a recent medi: cal conference, it was decided that in securing normal weight without injury to ' health or. appearance, serious changes in the daily menu should not occur. Do not follow fads. A well bal- anced diet may not always bring health, but health is impossible with- out correct diet.

INSTRUCTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, Luke 2: 25-35. II. DWELLING IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, : Luke 2: 36-39. : . INTRODUCTION--In every age the un- ion of intelligent piety and right liv- ing has produced the highest type of character. Nothing better 'an be said of any man than that he is "right- eous and devout." The Gresks under- stood this as well es the Jews and it is Plato who says "Man should strive f.. God-likeness through virtue, and be holy, righteous and wise like God." Thus a modern Jewish write: of high standing describes -the 'deal of holi- ness: "It aims to hallow every pursuit and endeavor, all social relations and activities, insisting only on a pure motive and disinterested service. As the Ruler of life is the source of all morality go all of life should be made holy with duty." I. INSTRUCTE® BY THE uke 2: 25-35. The bes! men among the Jews be- fore the coming of Christ had learned to believe that God, though invisible, was everywhere present, and especial- ly in and with the men whom he had chosen to render important service to their fellows. And so they regard- ed every extraordinary gift of cour- age, or skill, or insight, or wise judg- ment, as coming from hi... It was his presence that made Joshua strong L.and of a good courage, Joch. 1: 5-9. The skilled workmen on the fine work of the sanctuary in the wilderness were filled "with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manne. of work- manship; and to devise cunning works, to work 'n gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in cutting f stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of cunning work- manship," Exod. 85: 30-36: 2. The knowledge and skill of the farmer in ploughing and sowing, reaping, threshing, and grinding "cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in --isdom," Isa. 28: 23.29. But in a very special sense 'hey held it to be true that the gifts of prophet and seer were gifts bestowed by the spirit of God. See, for example, what is said of Samuel (1 Sam. 8: 19-4: 1), of Elisha (2 Kings 6:17), of Isaiah (6: 8, 9), of Jeremiah (1: 4-10). In look- ing into the future the prophet sees'a perfect and gloxious king of David's line marvelously endowed with the spirit of God with the qualities neces- sary for his high office, Isa. 11: 1-5. So also upon the prophetic teacher hose wqrk is to prepare the minds of men for the coming of his kingdom of the spirit will the spirit of 'he Lord rest, Isa. 61: 1-3. The priest, too, if he is true to his covenant bond, re- ceives and bears his message from the Lord, Malachi 2: 4-7. Simeon, a "rightecus and *devout '1can, himself ing®ructed in mind and heart by the Holy Spirit, was one of those who looked for the fulfilment of that ancient hope, and he had been led by a vision to believe that it would be fulfilled in his own lifetime. By the HOLY SPIRIT, title "the Lords Clrist," that is "the Lord's anointed one" the writer means the long expected king and deliverer who it was hopea would restore the throne and kingdom of David and would bring in the golden 'ge of jus- tice and of univer il peace. For the expression "the conso'ation of 'srael," compare Isa. 40: 1; 57: 18; 61: 1, By some rare insight give to this good man, no doul. Ty the Spifit of God, he recognized in the child brought by his parents into the temple the child of his vision, the coming king and saviour of his people, who would, according to prophecy, bear light and salvation to the wholo world. "A light t. lighten the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israe'" Isa. 42: 6: 49: 6. II. DWELLING IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, Luke 2: 86-39. Anna represents another but closely related type of piety. A#a-pgreat age she still finds her one comfort and joy in the worship of the sanctuary. Its great traditions, its' sacred memories its sacrificial symbols, its solemn mu- sic, all speak to her of God, the Lord of hosts, Israel's King. unfailing rource of all that is good and great in life. Simeon foresees great changas which will take place with the growth of this child to manhood, changes in- volving sore trouble to those nearest to him, which will reveal the secrets of men's hearts. Anna is content to praise God for the coming of the new age of salvatio: lieves is at hand. Unique Fair Is Held at Frankfurt One of the strangest fairs in the world is held at the German town of Frankfurt every year. Nottingham has its goose fair, and in other cities there are mop fairs and fur fairs. But Frankfurt goes one better than any of these by holding an inséet fair. Collectors come from all parts of the world to meet sellers of rare butter- flies and moths. Some of these are worth amazing sums. There are men, too, offering and disposifig of beetles, flies, grasshoppers, crickets, and so on. Most) ff the vendors bring thelr stock h them and display the beau- ties of their specimens to inquirers. There are many, however, who do business in quite a different way. They have no stock with them; they sell insects, so to speak, on the hoof, just as American cattlemen will sell beasts that are a thouand miles away on the ranges. These sellers of queer insects specialize in knowing just where the rarest kinds are to be found. Along comes a collector who asks if a particular specimen can be obtained for him, Though the one which will eventually grace his cabin- ets is not yet born, the order is booked and in due course the specimen is de- livered. wisp m------ AZohat fellow has a cast in his eye."

The fish is a spiny-backed eel, commonly known as the mud eel, and it is scien- tifically designated as Mastacembelus. It came with the collections mada in the Ogan River in Sumatra by the Chancellor-Stuart-Field Museum Ex- pedition in the South Pacifis. ; The fish is used as food in China, according to Alfred C. Wood, assist- ant curator in charge of fish at the museum. In the growing of rice in that country, it is necessary to keep the land flooded most of the season, and when harvest time comes the water is drawn oft and the ground be- comes more or less dry. At this time the Chinese farmers harvest & crop of fish, which have come to live in the warm shallow water of the fields, swimming about with the swaying rice. The farmers catch large numbers 'of these mud eels, which are different from ordinary eels in that they are flattened from ='de to side in- stead of being rounded, "These mud eels are interesting to scientists because they possess char- acteristics that are generally supposed to belong to very different groups of fishes," says Mr. Wood. "Down the back they are armed with a row of very sharp spines. At the front of the head they bear the 'trunk,' much like that of an elephant and nearly as large in proportion. "Like the elephant, this fish has its nostrils in its trunk. The trunk is used as a feeler to test out anything in its path, and may be used to catch small creatures upon which it feeds. It is waved around in the same way as an -elephant's trunk. Various species of these eels are'found in muddy waters of tropical streams and lakes from Western Africa to Eastern Asia." Ld Edison Suppresses War on Goldenrod Cites Gaspe Peninsula Where it Grows Without In- ducing Sneezes West Orange, N.J.--The city of West Orange and district's recent energetic | war upon the goldenrod a a purveyor. of hay fever was brought to an abrupt | end by Thomas A. Edison, the invent- or, The Chamber of Commerce, in a re- cent bulletin, asked all good citizens to smite the goldenrod and ragweed | with all their might, so that the dis- trict might be free of sneezes, sniffles, tearful eyes and blushing noses. In line with this policy of civic bet- terment, a local newspaper carried an 'editorial bearing the heading "Join in war on goldenrod." This editotial fell beneath the eye of Edison. For more than a yedf Ha, has been on intimate terms with many of the native weeds of New Jersey, seeking some plant that will produce , rubber, He found rubber in the sap of | the goldenrod and his experiments | looking toward a means of production are even now occupying a major part of his time and interest.

In a pre- historic deposit also containing bones of the extinct mammoth the diggers found three small statues of the fem- inine figure each approximately three feet tall and reported as carved with a high degree of skill. "All three represent tall, slender wo- men, resembling the fashionable figure | of to-day. Their hair is depicted as | short, not unlike the present mode. In only one way do these ancient repre- gentations. of feminine beauty depart notably from modern standards. Their | feet, it is reported, are large and mus- | cular; a fact which some of the ex- per are inclined to interpret as in- dicating a race accustomed to much | yunning after food or to escape from enemies, so that even the women de- veloped the large feet, long limbs and slender bodies, which usually go with fleetness of foot. The contrast with the "Venus" statuette previously found at Willendorf, in Aystria, is remark- able, that figure being marked by enor- mous fatness of the torso and hips, The reasons which induced prehis- toric men to carve these feminine statuettes are unknown, but if the ob- ject was to depict ideal beauty, the ideals of the ancient Willendorfians and the ancient inhabitants of Irkutsk Must have been very different. -------- Pat was sitting in the smoking car- riage pufling at an old clay pipe, when a lady got in and sat down beside him, "You're no gentleman," says she, "or you'd stop smoking when a lady sits down beside you."

Then Sayan to 1aake her home in a long cabin on the windswept Dakofa prairie. Now, at 76, looking back on it all, sne is still glad that she made the choice. And behind it all lies a most un- usual love story--the story of a young English girl who gave up a !'fe amid luxury with Europear royalty to suf- {or hardships in a pioneer section of ° America with the man she loved. From the royal palace of England to the Dakota cabin was along step-- especially in 1887, when settlers wera scarce and homesteaders had to under- go all of the hards'iips of pioneer life. But Mrs. Williams; who made the step because the man-she loved had made it, has never regretted it; and today she and her husband agree that she chose wisely, Mrs. Williams grew up in London as Marie Downing an apprentice girl in a sewing shop. Becoming lady's maid te Queen Victoria, she speedily became a favorite with the Queen, and was You cut it all up and call it a stew, | ventor has a warm spot in his heart jor personal attendant for years. "LOANED" TO 4MPRESS Several times the Queen "loaned" the girl to the Empress 1 ugenie of Fra whom she befriended when the Emperor Napoleon 1II was de- throned, and the young woman travels, ed over Europe with the deposed Em- press. The ex-E ipress's popularity was not great in these days, and in many places the populate wa- hostile to her. For this reason Marie Down- ing, dressed in the Empress's clothing, often rode in the "oyal coach while the Empress went disguiz»d as tha | raid. After the death of the Prince Im- perial, son of Eug: i» she accompana ied the Empress to Africa to recover, the young man's bod; It was i© 1882 that Harry Williams' --then a young i.an, and the maid's sweetheart--camwe to America. He begged" her to follow him and she planned to do so, but Queen Victoria induced her to stay in England for a while. The Queen gave the gir a num. ber of gifts, including some diamonds, , which she promptly sold so ws to get noney with which she and a ry Wil. liams could buy lana in th: western United States. The Queen also gave her a timepiece--originally ns a re. buke for tardiness; but later she gave her an ornamenta' case. to put it in, .nd it is now one of the prized decora-* tions on Mrs. Williams' maatlepiece ir. her little three-room home here. LEAVES ROYAL SEQVICE Finally, after tw) years, Queen Vie toria consented o have her maid leave her service and go to America to join her lover. Her Majesty presented her with trunks packed with linens laces lks and gowns worn by herself, and with a set of sterling silver table- ware as well. The girl brought these with her. At last, having crossed the occan and half of the American continent, the girl got off a train at Minnewau- kan, N.D., in midwinter, to be mot there 'by Williams. They were mar- ried at once, and then, .n an open sleigh drawn by one horse, they drova 100 miles, in weather that was 40 below zero, to the site of their futura home. | } When they got there the bride found that their log cabin was not yet com- pleted, and they had to live at a neigh- bors home for a time. But Mrs. Wil- liams was ready for a pioneers life-- as she often proved later, by mowing 100 tons of prairie hay unaided, or by, stacking the wheat bundles pNched to her by her husband. After returning from a visit to Eng- lead in 1909, Mr, and Mrs. Williams leased their farm and took over a rooming house here. At first, unable tu buy more silverware, they served their guests with the massive sterling silver given them by Queen Victoria. More recently they have been living alone. QUEEN'S MEMENTOES, Dressed in th: gown in which she last served Queen Victoria almost half a century ago--a tight fitting basque with a draped skirt of black satin-- Mrs. Williams loves to display her treasures to~her friends. She has gowns, silver, Silks and other memen- toes given her by Victoria, including a paper weight made of black marble just like that usc. in the tomb of Prince Albert. Her most prize possession is a seal ring which the Queen gave her. It has two Ms and Ds, inverted, engraved on a green stone; Mrs, Williams ex- plains that Her Majesty C2.igned this ring for her so 'hat she could re- address the Queen: mail when need of secrecy was imperative in state and foreign communications, and that the unusual ring was used to seal the ea- .clopes, A No Opportunity A gentleman, touring in the West of ireland, and being caught in ® storm, took shelter in a dilapidated, thatched cottage.
