This book is as different from other books about India as "Kim" is different from "Mother India." and for much the same reason. Lilâ€" lian Ashby has been there; her fathâ€" er was born there; her grandfather was an indigo planter in the back country. Hindustani was her first tongue. Hindustanis were her first playmates. Her early life was Hinâ€" dustani. It was not until she marâ€" ried a young police inspector that she came in contact with the India that most Angloâ€"Indians know, And then she saw it with eyes that unâ€" erstood as completely as a New Yorker understands the subway or a Bostonian the Transcript. _ THIS.

The author is a specialist in reâ€" viving fagged "office athletes." By a little sane advice on diet, on exâ€" ercise, on sex, he has done wonders in restoring the energy of tired business men and women who have come to him in distress.

Such an apâ€" plication should be completed corâ€" of remote antiquity and among peoples of exery race, and relates with a wealth of fascinating lore, the fluctuations â€"and conflicts that have marked its course. He tells of the battle that raged between the sun and the moon as an authority over the calendar, ending in the triâ€" umph of the solar year over the luâ€" nar month. He recalls how men have reformed the calendar at many periodsâ€"how Mohammed ordained a calendar for Islam and Omar Khayyam rearranged: the Persian year; how Julius Caesar created the Julian Calendar which held sway until Pope Gregory * promulgated the Gregorian Calendar in 1577, acâ€" cepted for three centuries by the Western World. The Jewish calâ€" endar of the French Revolution, the measure of time in Mexico, China, and India (where 14 calendars are at present in force) are all recountâ€" ed. The measure of the days is also exploredâ€"their grouping into weeks, and their division into hours by means of sunâ€"dial, hourâ€"glasses and clocks.

The proof of this particular pudâ€" ding, as he shows, is in eating for energy, exercising for energy, and regulating your ‘personal habits to keep yourself constantly at the peak of your energy.
