How- ever, if your _ desires are not _ fully realized as yet keep on with your 1200 calories per day until you get there for By Anne Best «daylight is ahead. But after you have arrived the next question will be, "How do I stay like this?" You will find this easier than you think be- cause your scale will warn you im- mediately and in a day you can go back to your proper weight. Now that you have gained normality you will be able to go on to a mainten- ance diet. Just think your average amount per day will take a jump to around 2000 to to 2500 calories of food instead of 1200. Your meals will seem like banquets. It is interesting to note | Just how an average day counts for a normal person. The male seems to require more calories than the female sex and it is a fact that children need more food according to their weight than either parents because they are making bone and -sissue. Old people need least of all because they are through growing and are not so active. . Following is a table of calories show- ing the number needed for the differ- ent common activities. (If your line of work is not on the list select the one which is mogt like it. From it you can make up Your day. This ap- plies to the average person whose nor- mal weight is around 150 pounds, If your frame is larger a few more calor- ies are necessary, if smaller less are needed.

Pansies Planted in Fall Blooms Best in Spring New Branswick, N.J.,--Gardeners who desire large pansies next spring should set their plants in a rich bed of soil before November 1, according to A. 0. McLean, of the New Jersey Agricultural Extensipn Service, He said ~that pansies planted in the fall and left undisturbed In the spring produce more and better flawers than plants which have been moved. "Do not wait until spring to buy plants if the best pansies are desired," Mr, McLean said. "The pansy is very easily transplanted at this time of the year, and is practically winter hardy it given slight protection to keep the ground from freezing and thaw- ing. The chief precaution should be to plant them in a soil that is well drained. Then when the ground starts to freeze, cover with some straw and then with leaves. If you have not plants of your own, buy some of the best of such large-flower- ing strains as Steele's, Roggli glants, or some of the better foreign families" | rrr A eine A movie photographer has gone to Africa solely for the purpose of film- ing giraffes.

INTRODUCTION---The country of Gal- atia in the north contral part of Asia Minor was held, in Paul's time, by invaders from the west, Gauls, who, in the fourtt and third centuries B.C. overran Italy, entered Greeco, and assed over th. straits into Asia. nder Roman rule the name was ex- tended southward to cover a Roman province which included those cities of Asia Minor which Paul his first, second ard third missionary journeys, Antioch of Pisidia, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. It was to the Christian people of these cities, con- verts of his first great missionary en- terprise, and very dear to him, that Paul wrote this letter. During his absence, Jewish teachers from Jerusalem professing to .e Chris- tians had come in and caused much unrest ana trouble. Paul had preach- ed a gospel of freedom; demanded obedience to the Jewish law. Paul had promised a full salvation fio sin and its bitter consequences through: faith in and faithfulness «to the Lord Jesus Christ. This meant 'hat the customs and practices of the law were not nee- essary to entrance into the kingdom of God. The Jew might continue to observe these customs of the old reli- gion; sacrifice, and vows, and purifi- cations, and holy days, and circumeci- sion, as Paul himself did and might find them helpful, but he would not force them upon the Gentile converts to the Christian faith. These Jewish teachers who followed P:ul, like those spoken of in Acts 15: 1 insisted on the law in every particular as necessary to salvation, and turned many cf the Galatian converts to their way of thinking. Hearing of this Paul was greatly distressed. To him the differ- ence was vital, and affected tha very essence of the gospel which he preach- ed. This Epistle to the Galatian churches is his defence of Christian freedom. It. is most weighty and authoritative. I. THE RIGHT USE OF FREEDOM, 13-18. The Jewish teachers who opposed themselves to Paul, and who, he says, are troubling the Calatian people and "would pervert the gospel of Christ" (1: 7), were endeavoring to bring the: - new believers in Christ into 'the yoko of bondage" of Jewish law and custom, 5: 1, Paul reminds those to whom he writes that they have found an all-sufficient salvation in and by "the faith of Jesus Christ" (2: 16), and exhorts them to stand fa. in that liberty wherewith Christ oa made them free, 5: 1. But in this teaching of Christian liberty there 'lay the pos- sibility of a serious misunderstanding, and some of Paul's converts had erred in thinking that iberty meant law- lessnes , the throwing off of all res- Araint, indifference to moral conduct. They confounded liberty with license, as some misguided people do even in our own day. Paul ed have those who been called unto liberty" make right use of that precious gift--not for an occasion to self-indulgence, but as an opportunity for loving service. For the freedom? of the Christian is free- dom to serve. It involves a higher obligation, obedience to the law of love. Those who misuse their liberty, who "bite and devour one another," or, as Moffatt renders, who "snap at eo ach other and prey upon cach other," are in danger of a deadlier bondage than that from which they think they have escaped. There is no meaner slave than he who is possessed and govern- ed by his own selfish appetites and passions. Paul's counsel is "Walk in the Spirit," or in Moffatt's translation "lead the life of the Spirit." It is only where the higher nature of man has control, where flesh is obedient te spirit, that there is perfect' free- dom. If, on the other hand, flesh, man's lower nature, with its appetites and passions, has control, the whole of life is debased and corrupted. Tgue manhood in that case is lost--the man becomes no hotter than a slave, The body controlled hy man's spiritual na- ture is good, as Ciod made it. In such controlled life there is no bondage. The opuosite is equally true. II. FLESH AND SPIRIT, 19-26, "The work of the flesh,' not under control of mans cpiritual nature, ar: evil. This would noc be true if there were no spiritual nature, if man were simply one of the beasts. But the real man is spirit, not flesh. God, made him in his own image, after his own likeness. His virtue, his health of bedy, end mind, his frue life, lie in obedi¥hce to that godlike spirit in- structed by the Spirit of God. "have "But the fruit of the Spirit" is in|, all that is beautiful and good, in all that wpakes for man's highest well being, in every virtue and grace of life by which his likeness to God is made manifest. Moffatt's rendering of verses 22-23 is as follows: "But the harvest of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, good temper, kindliness, gener- osity, fidelity, gentleness, self-control: there is no law against those who practice such things." Paul would have Christian people remember that they belong to Christ. The Spirit of Christ must rule in"them (see. Romans 8: 9). It will be as though "the flesh with its affections and lusts" were dead in them, and they now walk the way of 'the Spirit by which Poy live. Compare 2: 20 and Romans 8: 1-17. -- eens .

Prehistoric Ho ives Were No Fools With Rounded Pots The reason why almost all of the cooking pots and similar household 'utensils made by prehistoric men have round bottoms and will not stand up- right on a table, sometLing which seems extremely inconvenient to a modern housewife, has been much de- bated by experts, Some have main- tained that the round "ottoms were made purposely as being less easily broken. Other prehistorians- imagine that the ancient potters may not have known how to. shape pot bottoms into flat form without leaving weaknesses at the corners so that cracks would appear in firing. Still other experts suspect that the first pots may have been made in imitation of the round bottom shape of natural gourds and that no prehistoric potter was original enough to change this con ential mod- el. It has remained, however, for an unnamed forrespondent of Captain O. Insect Will Save Coffee Industry An epic battle betwean two sects, with the entire coffee industry of India for a prize, is about to begin. One of the insects contenders is look- ed to as tie only possible help to mankinfl in saving this industry, for its enemy is an insect that invades and destroys the coffee berries on the bushes while man's ally i# another 'insect that attacks and kilis this des- structive one, 'he harmful one commonly called the" coffee berry borer beetle, has been known for some time in the coffee plantations of Java, It is a tiny creature, less than an eighth of an inch long but exceed- ingly prolific. More than a hundred insects have been bred, it is reported, from eggs inside a single coffee berry. Recently this borer beetle was dis- covered in India. Inspection of the plantations has showed it to be pre- sent In about one-fifth of the fields.

Crawford,editor of the London Review, Antiquity, to & more sensible reason for the round-pot habit, one more flattering to the anclent potters intelligence. His shape was chosen, this correspondent imagines, 80 that the pot would rest low and firmly on three stones or other sup- ports when olaced on the fire. Flat tables or floors were unknown articles in prehistoric times, Cooking was done over a fire, as by modern campers Three stones, three lumps of earth, or even three pegs of green wood stuck into the ground, will hold a round- bottomed pot firmly and will seat its bottom well down Into a small fire, whereas every modern camper knows how hard it is to keep a flat-bottomed coffee-pot or similar utensil o' the fire at all without either smothering the fire underneath it or tipping over the pot. 7 | Scientists Criticize losses as would make world competi- | tiott impossible. Energetic steps have been taken to combat and restrict the invasion. An appropriation of approx- imately $140,000 has been invoked empowering Government agents to take over and operate coffee plan- tations which do not co-operate fully in the campaign. Chief reliance is placed, however, in the parasite of | the borer beetle discovered. in Java by Dr. Kunhi Kannan, entomologist in charge of the protective campaign | in Mysore. It is planned to enormous numbers of this parasite in- sect and liberate them in the infected plantations. preee Try Tomatoes! breed | i | obedience, | | | A tomato ealen raw at breakfast is! a wonderful skin tonic, clearing the complexion and removing spots.
