Celebrate the Loss of Those Extra Pounds By Fasting One Da*y "Lett We Forget" Article 10 Now that we ______ ft r 9 at last really on the way to reduc- ing, how about c e 1 ob rating once In a while p e r - missable once a week by having a fast- lug day. it Isn't absolute- necessary. You By Marie Anne Best may keep on just BH you are doing if you wish, but a fatttlng day performs good work. It shrinks the stomach and helps clear out impurities and then of course It shaves off a few extra ounces. So If you Intend to be home some day, and are not very busily engaged, go on a milk diet for 24 hours. That is when meal time comes, take only , glass of milk three times a day with a glass of warm milk before retiring at night. If you take whole milk it countv 160x4: 600 calories, while skim milk, which is just as good for you only minus the fat will count 80x4:320 j calories. Perhaps you do not like ' milk. Fruit juice is just as good; one mtM glass for each meal, or eat the !:> h fruit. It might he well to put in a warn- ing here. One day of fasting does not ' mean two or three. You must not be- come too ambitloiig. It doesn't pay. I Things worth while are not gained in day. The one food diet cannot be . Indulged In for long because you ! would not get the proper amounts of J protein, carbonbydrates, mineral and i Tltamlnes. 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 moats, bread and dairy products with lots of fruit and vegetables. You do I nerd to count tho calories, though, for j It Is the calorics which have made you . abnormal In weight. Then this prin- ciple of using bulky vegetables and ' foods Is fine for quieting hunger i pangs and is a healthy diet apart from weight reduction. If a great excess of j fat has been carried around an ab- dominal belt, adjusted as the weight j comes down, will give comfort. Then | s one becomes accustomed to the diet ! gradual feeling of Increased pep and vitality will result. At a rocent medi- cal conference, It was decided that in ecuring normal weight without Injury to health or appeaiance, serious changes !u the dally menu should not occur. Do not follow fads. A well bal- anced diet may not always bring health, but health in impossible with- out correct diet.

Golden Text Bleated are the pure In heart: for they shall see God. Matthew 6:8. ANALYSIS I. INSTRUCTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. Luke 2: 25-35. II. DWELLING IN THE HOUSE OP COO, 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 -n be said of any man than that he is "right- eous and devout." The Greeks under- stood this as well ns 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 writer of high standing describes the : dcal of holi- ness: "It aims to hallow every pursuit and endeavor, all social relations and activities, insisting only on a pu<-c motive and disinterested service. As the Ruler of life is the source of all morality so all of life should be made holy with duty." I. INSTRUCTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, i Luke 2 : 25-35. The best 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 insigh., or wise judg- ment, as coming from hi: .. It was his presence thut made Joshua strong and of a good courage, Jcth. 1: 5-9. 1 ho 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 running works, to work 'n gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in cutting f stones for setting, and in curving of wood, *o work in nil manner of cunning work- manship," Exod. 3f>: 30-86: 2. The knowledge and skill of the farmer in ploughing and sowing, reaping, threshing, and grinding "cometh fortli from the I/ord of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in - isdom," Isa. 28: 23-29. But in n very special sense hey held it to be true that the gifts of prophet and seer wore prifts bestowed by the spirit of God. See. for example, what is said of Samuel (1 S.im. 3: 19-4: 1), ->f Klisha (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 glorious king of David's line marvelously endowed with the spirit of God with tho qualities neces- f;iry for his hiifh jffice, Isa. 11: 1-5. Sf also upon the prophetic teacher hose work is to prepare the minds of men for the coming of his kingdom of the spirit will the spirit of '.he Ix>rd rest, Isn. fil : 1-3. The priest, too, i f lie is true to his covenant l>on<l, re- ceives and bears his message from the Lord, Yalarlii 2: 4-7. Simeon, a "rightetus and devout i.'.an, himself instructed in mind and heart bv tho Holy Spirit, was one of those, who looked for the fulfilment of that ancient hope, nnd he had been led by a vision to believe that it would bt fulfilled in his own lifetime. Bv the title "the Lords Christ," that is "the Ix/rd's anointed one" the writer means the long expected king and deliverer who it was hoped 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 consolation of Israel," compare Isa. 40: 1; 67: 18; 61: 1. By some rare insight give to this good man, no douh by the Spirit 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 ta the whplo world. "A light t lighten the Gentiles, And the glory of thy peop' Israe'." Isa. 42: 6; 49: 6. IL DWELLING IN THE HOUSE OF COD, Luke 2: 36-39. Anna represents another bi t closely related type of piety. At a great 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 source of all that is good and great in life. Simeon foresees great changes 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: which she, too, be- lieves is at hand. Unique Fair Is Held at Frankfurt One of the gtrarvgest fairs in tho 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 insect fair. Collectors come from all parts of tho world to meet sellers ot rare butter- flies and moths. Some of these are worth amazing sums. There are men, too, offering and disposing of beetles, flies, grasshoppers, crickets, and so on. Most of the vendors bring their stock with them and display the beau- ties of their specimen? 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 rangcH. 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. A "That follow has a cast In his eye." H "That's because he is a theatrical manager." "But, dad, Jack has got character. You can read it in his eyes." Father: "Then, Beatrice, I've just blackened his character." She Know* Her Onions When you're wanting to cook a tasty steak What Is the vegetable you always take To make that good odor no one can mistake? Why, an onion. Suppose you have visitors come In to lunch, You go down the garden and then have a hunch: Lettuce and salad they just love to munch, L an onion. Some days you feel grouchy, your ap- petite fickle, It's hard to find something your pal- ate to tickle. At length you are pleased, for your eye lights on a pickle, With an onion. Perhaps you're not well, your appetite poor. * i Your meal must be simple of that you feel sure. So you just make some soup, and feel quite secure With an onion. You look In your larder and want to make do With tho meat that you have with- out getting new. You cut H all up and call It a stew, With an onion. i Your old auntie comes to you for * reat, Before very long she complains of her chest, Her old-fashioned poultice she swears Is the best, With an onion. When after a while she departs, with a sigh, You say you are sorry, but fear you can't cry, But at the last moment you've tears in your eye With an onion. There's just one occasion on which you feel mean, You see some one coming and wish you could scream; You have scented yourself and It isn't a dream, With an onion Olive Wood, Powell River, B.C. 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 thla policy of civic bet- terment, a local newspaper carried an editorial bearing the heading "Join in war on goldenrod." This editorial fell beneath the ey of Edison. For more than a year he 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 bis time and interest. So that what- ever his feelings toward the lowly rag- weed, it is almost certain that the in- ventor has a warm spot In his heart for the goldenrod. Accordingly, upon reading the edi- torial, he wrote the following letter to the newspaper: "In yesterday's i.-(..ue 'here appear- ed on th front page an article en- titled: 'Join in war <m goldenrod.' Let me say for your information that it would be folly to eliminate goldenrod. "The Gaape Peninsula in Canada, which extends into the wide part of the St. Lawrence River, IB free from GENERAL Travlw ragweed. I am informed that no cases of pollen fever are known there, al- though goldenrod grows profusely." Chamber of Commerce officials, in- formed of the letter, said they prob- ably will withdraw their attack on the goldenrod and concentrate on the rag- weed. Prehistoric Man Liked 'Elm Thin The cultivated agricultural land In Kngland nnd Wales shows a decrease of 114,000 acres as compared with 1929; but the rate of decrease Is less than In the three preceding years. Chinese Eel Has Elephant's Trunk The Field Museum of Natural His- tory In Chicago has received a fish with a "trunk" resembling In a gen- eral way that of an elephant. 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 made In the Ogan River in Sumatra by the Chancellor-Stuart-Field Museum Ex- pedition in the South Pacifls. The fish is used as food in China, according to Alfred C. Wood, as!st 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, i and when harvest time comes the water ts drawn off and the ground be- comes more or less dry. At this time the Chinese farmers harvest t> crop of fish, which have come to live In the warm shallow water of the fields, swimming about with the swayiug rice. The farmers catch large numbers of these mud eels, which are different from ordinary eels in that they are flattened from v'de to side in- stead of being rounded. "These mud eels dro interesting to scientists because they possess char- acteristics that are generally supposed to belong to very different gr nips of nshos." 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 in elephant and nearly as large in proportion. "Like the elephant, ibis flsh has Its nostrils .n 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 \Vostern Africa to Eastern Asia." That not every race of prehistoric men admired exclusively the type ol fat woman represented by statuettes like the famous "fat Venus" of Will- endorf is indicated by recent finds by scientists of Soviet Russia near Ir- kutsk in southern Siberia. 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 Jo these ancient repre- sentations of feminine beauty depart notably from modern standards. Their foot, it Is reported, are large and mus- cular; a fact which some of the ex- perta are inclined to interpret as In- dicating a race ac.cu.itomed to much running after I' ; or to escape from enemies, so tli .; uven the women de- veloped the large feet, long limbs and slender bodies, which usually go with fleetuess of foot. The contrast with the "Venus" statuette previously found at Willeudorf, in Austria, 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 ara 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.

"II you were uiy husband," she snapped, "I'd give you poison." Pat ooked at her for a minute. "Bedad," said he, "if I was your husband I'd take It."
