Theories Exploded Kansas City.--The "freak dele" of the food fadists were termed a'gtar- vation course to 'physical destruc- tion" recently by Dr. Milton Bridges, diet expert of Columbia University. "There does not exist any fruit, meat, fishor other food which in itself is capable of reducing physi. cal weight as much as|{1-1,000th of a pound," he said in an address.' It there is one general g«leficiency in the North Ameiican diet today, he added, it is lack of protein. Middle- aged persons fin particular are in. clined to be anaemic because they fail to eat enough meat, eggs, cheese, fish and gelatin. "It is about time some of our old ideas were exploded," he said. "Tho efficacy of fish as a brain food, lettuce to produce sleep, on- jons to cure a cold, parsley to in- crease fluid output, broth for strength port wine and rusty nails for blood building, celery to soothe the nerves, skim milk and bananas for reducing and last but not least, an apple a day to keep_the doctor away, have all been proved without foundation."

Fi-HING FACTS FROM A NOVICE POINTERS u There bids been great deal of comment, one time or another as to whether it is necessary to cover the point of the hook er leave it bare. Come pedple say yes, by all means. Gthers say phooey, ov old fashion- edi © Last summer [ was with a party, bass-fishing on Lake Simcoe. The water would be about twelve feet deep and had a clay and weedy bot- tom. We had frogs and worms aplenty of both so of course we were out for the catch of the season. After quite a while we realized that the fish for some reason were not hungry or as is often the way would be better on some other shoal. Anyway the bites were few and far between. After some time we no- ticed that the frogs were getting all the bites and that their legs and backs were all skinned. One of the party covered the point of the hook after baiting with a frog. Using a very small morsel of worm. From then on we all had the best of luck. This of course proves nothing and is only given for what it is worth, "There is another point that often comes up during a fishing trip. Whether to give a fish slack line when ne breaks water or to give.sum the butt. This is only under dfscus- sion when one has plenty of line out such as in casting and trolling. I can't say what is the correct method but here -is the one 1 use.' light line and my When using a fish breaks water 1 usually give nim a little slack, because if he falls back on a taut line there is a mighty good chance that he will break it. If 1 am-using a heavy line for a spoon and my fish breaks water then I give him the butt to set the hooks and with the heavy line I am pretty sure it will hold. A Few Tips About Bait Simply wash worms and pace them in clean moss, slightly damp. Keep in a cool place and keep the moss moist but never wet. Never. use earth as this will pack and be- come wet. Crawfish should be washed once a week. They may be fed a few gra- ham cracker crumbs. Keep from being wet and they will live a con- siderable time.
