No man has ever become blind to
his own Interests from looking on the
bright side of life.
You never can tell. Many a man
rises in his own estimation who hopes
to be let down easy.
In spite of the fact that it takes 100
cents to make a dollar, lots of people
have more dollars than sense. ¢
No, Maude, dear; there Is no simi
larity between the milkweed and the
cowslip, nor do buttercups grow on
elther,
. Of course a musical education
counts for something, but at the same
time lots of people put on airs who
can't carry a tune.
The high flyer should remember that
mighty few fellows, even when they
do take a rumble, have the foresight
to pick out a soft spot.
Billy—“ Darling, I love you from the
bottom of my heart.” Milly—" What's
the matter? 1 always thought there
was plenty of room at the top.”
- Blobbs—"How did Polly Peaches get
g 0 many medals us a life-saver?”
Slobbs—*So many fellows have told
her they were just dying for a Kkiss."”
' Muggins—*“You can reach a man's
heart through his stomach, but It
takes glutt,er,v to reach a woman's
heart.” Buggins—“ln other words,
stuff them and they are yours.”
. SMILE AT THESE
A man chooses his wife, not because
there are no other women, but in spite
of them,
The worst of trying to settle down
is that there's always so much to be
first settled up.
Enthusiasm is what keeps a man
at work when everyone else has gone
to a foothall mateh
FOOTBALLS FOR POILUS
Paris Sende “Parcels for Soldiers"
to the Ruhr,
“Parcels for soldiers” are leaving
Paris for Dusseldorf daily in carload
lots, just as they used to bhe forward
ed to the front during the war, and
are helping to remind the I'rench peo
ple of the continuing milltary occupa
tion of the Ruhr,
Clgarettes and tobacco of all kinds,
except that for chewing, form the bulk
of the five-pound packages, with food
and candy a good second. Games,
frult, books and jellies and pams are
also popular with the army of oc
cupation, One hundred footballs,
sent at the special request of several
units, formed one package which
brought joy to the lonely poilus.
PHARAOH HAD INSOMNIA
Papyrus Reveals Hippopotami Dls
turbed Tut-Ankh-Amen’s SBleep.
A plece of papyrus just transiated
by the British museum shows that
King Tut-Ankh-Amen suffered from in
somnla. Responsibility for the Phara
ch's allment seems to have rested with
certain hippopotami which made so
much nolse as they wallowed in the
sacred lakes of Thebes that he found
sleep impossible,
The papyrus tells of a quarrel the
~auncient monarch had with the owner
of the beasts over whether the King's
slumber should be sacrificed to their
physical comfort. How the dispute
was settled is not disclosed.

! Heligoland, in the North sea, whose
guns once frowned on England from
Germany, has been converted into a
health resort for children.

GOBS OF FAT.
e ——— el
THE PREVENTION OF
OBESITY.
Physieal fitness demands of us that
wo do not get too fat. Overweight
tends to reduce one's ability to dc
the necegsary lahor in any capacity;
besides, when it reaches a certain point
the health of the individual suffers;
he becomes an easy prey to ceriain
diseascs, |
In the vast majority of cases over
weight s due to ignorance or negloct,
It niaa been said, “The cause of obesity
is the storage of food materials within
the body in the form of fat,” Some
times glandular secrelions become un
balanced or Qisturbed, producing an
undue increase in fat, Of this type
we will not speak at this time. Ip
all cases of overweight it is a duty
one owes to himself to consult a phy
gician,
IZach person requires only a certain
amouvnt of food to supply energy. The
fat comes from the food that is nol
consumed for this purpose. The na
jovity of people do not eliminate this
excess food and it accumulates in the
form of fat., A few individuals dc
eliminate, and the weight remains the
same, regardless of the amount o
food they consume, Most of us ea
ioo much and not the right kind a
food.
Tecuction In weight depends almost
entirely on the will power; if you are
too fat and wish to reduce it is en
tirely in your power to do so. You
should determine what your weight
ought to be and then accomplish ths
end. All food has a certain value;
this value is determined by the giver
number of calories. 'The calorie is a
measure of energy value of food in
just the same sense as a foot or a
yard is the value of length or breadth.
The energy requirements of the body
are expressed in calories, The amount
of excrcise and labor you do deter
mines the number of calories neces
sary for this pursose.
To reduce one's fat the number of
calories must be less than the numhber
required, and in this way you can con
sume your stored fat and beconie thin
—you reduce.
The number of calories of energy
required, as stated, varies, but for an
average man of 164 pounds at rest, 11
to 11 calories per pound of body
weight, or 1750 to 2100; at light work
i 3 to 18 to each pound of body weight,
or 2150 to 2800; at moderate work ‘lB
to L 0 calories per pound of weight or
2849 to 3150; hard work, 20 to 27 te
cach pound, or 3150 to 4200 as a total
to be consumed per day.
The energy required by the body
does not vary directly with the weight,
but is dependent on the surface area
of the body. This also varies some
what with the age. The average as
taken above corresponds with 5 feet
7 inches in height at the age of 4(
to 44 years. This same man at 60
vears old should weigh 158 pounds;
about five pounds can be added o
subtracted for each inch in height
Therefore as a rough measure of daily
calorie requirements the normal weight
in pounds can be multiplied by 1f
where only light work is to be done
by 20 when Lard work is required
This gives us the food consumptionr
for the day.
The kind oY food taken is also im
portant; to reduce the body weight one
must consume a proportionately iess
amount of carbolydrate and fat thar
protein; that is, starches, sweets and
fat must be cut down.
Tt wight be well for us to think ir
erug of 100 calories; then each por
tion mentioned in the list below con
tains 100 calories:
3x2xl 1/2 iln. ]Jean meat,
2 large slices of bacon.
1 ege.
I banana (large).
I orange (large).
1/2 large grape fruit,
2 moderate size apples.
T slice of bread 1/2 inch thick.
T small glass of milk.
I pat of butter.
3 oz. of cream soup.
3 oz. consomme,
1 cuble inch of cheese.
'8 teaspoonfuls of sugar. |
1 1/38 oz. cream. }
12 large peanuts.
6 walnuts.
Approximately 1 pound of uncookec
wolery vegetables such as lettuce
cucumbers, tomatoes, spinach, ete
You cannot estimate accurately the
ealories in meat, but approximately 2
pound of beef has 900, fish and ham
1300, pork chops 1450, bacon 2800, por}
sausage 2000, folws 1000, salmon 900
mackerel 600. Therefore, it will be
seen that all fresh vegetables tha.
grow above the ground are not fatten.
tg. Dried vegetables are not so good
T.eave off fats and sweets; use browr
bread, never white flour. Cut out
starchy foods.
The reduction in fodd should alway*
be accompanied by proper exercise, o.
which walking in the open is perhaps
the best. Keep the head wup, the
mouth closed, the shoulders back. You
can take such arm exercises as you
wish. Too rapid reduction is not de
sirable, but four or five pounds &
\reek can be done without trouble. The
result rests entirely with the individ
ual; as stated in the beginning, it de
pends on your will power. 1
The Georgia State Board of Healtlt
advises all; those who anticipate going
on a diet consulting their physician
first. !
This paper surely hopes that the
coming iegislature will previde amply
for our State Board of Health. |

P peal of the bank

oAN A he performed an
. ZPRd| economic service

J. H. Puelicher pay that Okla
homa {n passzing
that law, enduring fits evil conse
quenceg for fifteen years and then
frankly casting it aside as a failure,
has performed an economic service (9
the nation. These could be no more
convincing argumepnt against the pas
sage of similar laws In other stated
than Oklahoma's disastrous experi
ment,
The Oklahoma guaranty law was
the first of its kind., It was enacto(
in response to the panic of 1907 Lat
experience has only proved again that
there is no substitute for sound baul
ing. Relying on the fancied security
of the guaraniy law, people entrus.ed
their banking to many who were un
fit for the trust. Bank failurcs have
been so many that the fund, sup
poscd to guarantee deposiis, crealcd
by assessments on banks, was long
ago depleted.
It is estimated that with total liabii
ities created under the law in the
torin of warrants and sums ow'ng to
depositors amounting to $12,000 090,
there are in the hands of the Banking
Board uncertain assets of nominally
315,000,000, ranging in value f{rocm
zero to only thirty or forty cents on
the dollar, resulting in a deficit of
many million dollars. Sound, well-man
aged banks have been heavily taxed
hy assessments to the fund, and the
maximum amecunt that could bLe as
sessed on solvent banks is insuflic.ent
to cover the deficit.
It has been well sald that guaranty
laws make for looseness in banking
methcds, and saddle on the com
petent and honest the sins of the in
competent and dishonest.
Let us have only laws that raise
the standard of banking. Let us have
no laws that debase it.

NEED FOR UNIFORRHTY
‘.g!_i
[N BUSINESS LAWS
How Collection of Just Debis fday
Re Prevented by Differing
Staie Statutes.
An effort to bring about better co
ordination and greater urnilormity
among state laws dealing with busi
ness and banking is being made by
the American Bankers Association.
It is pointed out that, aitbough the
country is a unit commercially, and
citizens of any one state may do busi
ness that reaches all over the ccun
try, most laws governing business
transactions are made by the differ
ent states, with application limiied
to their own local jurisdictions and
often in conflict with laws in other
states. It is held that state laws
should be uniform so that the came
transaction will not be subject te
different sets of rules according as
state laws differ.
To illustrate the disadvauntages of
conilicting laws, the following illus
tration is given: Mr. Jones lives in
New York where the statute of limita
tions outlaws a note in six years. He
talls into the error of assumuing that
the same rule prevails everywhere.
He visits Maryland and loans §l,OOO
to his friend, Mr. Smith, taking a
promissory note. As the note carries
interest Mr. Joncs is in no hurry for
his money and he believes Smith to
be finanecially responsible, linally at
che end of four years Jones concludes
he hes loaned Smith the money long
enough and seceks to collect the note
from Lim. Dut Smith can deny liabil
ity and point to the statute cf Mary
land which Jonocs is surprised to
learn outlaws a ncte after thres
years.
| Changes Recommended
{ The particular subjects of legisla
tion recommended by the association
Efor enactment by State legislatures
during 1923 inciude urniform acts on
‘negotiable instruments, bills of lad
ing, warehouse receipts, stock trans
‘ fer, and fiduciaries.
Under the head of laws for better
protection of banks in particular
transactions are proposed mnieasures
dealing with Limiting liability on cer
tified check; instruments based on
gambling or usurious consideration;
time limit on stop payment; payment
of stale check; adverse claim to bank
deposit; payment of forged or raised
check; deposits in two names; de
posits in trust; competency of bank
and corporation nolaries; non-pay
ment of check through error; Satur
day afterncon bank transactions, and
forwarding check direct to payor.
Under the Federal Reserve and

THE RIGHT TYIING
at the
RIGHT TIME

SERVANTS
Let every man mind his own busi
ness.~~Cervantes.
Tllldl:l‘} is a certain type of peison
who thinks, always, that brusque
ness, even rudeness, to the servants of
his friends shows familiarity with the
ways of the world, Lét us hope that
these persons are those who have had
littie chance to get about, little chance
to mingie with those who know how
things should be done—that they are
those who have never had servants of
their own, and have had few fricids
who numbered servants among theif
possessions. Sonietimes, unfortunate
ly, we meet women who huve always
been used to servants who yet have
an overbearing attitude toward the
servants of their friends, We always
suspect that they gossip with their
own servants.
Now, in the big cities, at least, serv
ants resent an appearance of friendii
ness of a too informal sort on their
employers’ parts. In their relation as
servant, especially where they have
specialized, they wish to assume a
deferentinl manner, just as they wish
to have their employers assume a di
recting manner. That is part of the
game. They expect the same treat
ment from their employers’ friends.
Dut there is a manner, between one
of overbearing haughtiness and one of
ostentatious friendliness, that the weil
bred man or woman assumes ro nis
friends’ servants. And it is really only
the outward manifestation of a kindly
consideration to others, whatever their
rank or walk in life.
To begin with, always greet your
friends’ servants, if you have visited
the house often enough to know them.
A simple word of greeting is sufficient.
That is, if you are a week-end guest
in a house, and the maid brings a let
ter to your door before breakfast, say
“Good morning, Jane.” And always
thank them, slmply, for services ren
dered. If you call frequently at a
house, and the same servant always
answers the door, remember a simple
word of greeting then.
Never ask favors of your friends’
servants, either when you are visiting
in their homes or when you might he
able to make a convenience of them at
some other time.

New Use for Stamps.
Auntie was writing letters while
four-ycar-old Maurice was busy with
his street car. Presently auntie was
called to the telephone, leaving writ
ing materials on the tabie. Return
ing, she found postage stamps miss
ing. Maurice had been told that to
put a stamp on a letter it was ready
to Mgo.
In her search for the stamps auntie
remarked: “Oh, pshaw,” to which
Maurice sald: “Why, what's the mat
ter?’ On being told of the missing
stamps, he said: “Why, I stuck them
on my street car, so it would ‘go/’ o
and there they were plain to be seen.
