We over-weights want to know how we can eat onlg 1200 calories a day and st!l not have to endure the gnawing pangs of hunger which break down our resolutions to reduce. There is a way. But first there are two Important principles to remember when trying to reduce. 1. We must cut down on the calories of food we usually eat. The number of calories must be decreased until it supplies less than the amount of "energy fuel needed. 2. We must increase the energy ex- penditure by exercise, but (and this is important), we must not eat 'more calories with the increased exercise. + The reward comes when we find the Tr a Ry is lichad bh we refrained from eating enough high caloried foods to provide for that ex- ercise, so the body draws on the sur plus fat for fuel to supply the energy and hedt needed. = We took longer walks, perhaps, or worked harder in our homes, but when we were hungry wo ate something satisfying but low in calories. Perhaps we ate a big lettuce and vegetable salad with one slice of bread and butter instead of two or three. But remember, one is very ne- cessary. It is important to eat some of all the main foods whether high or low in calories. Although fruit is a little high fn calories, it is very bene- 'ficial for it teems with vitamns and mineral matter. One secures more good out of a large sliced orange, which counts 100 calories, and a piece of light 'cake, which counts about 200 calories, than out of a plece of pie with two crusts, which counts 350 cal- ories. If you are still hungry, have a bigger salad. Tea and coffee have no 'calories, but the cream and sugar have, Learn to take it clear if you can. I have gradually grown to be very fond of coffes with no sugar. One 'can do 'without certain things quite nicely if one is allowed to chose one's own way of what to cut down on.

His educa- tion he must huve received from the visits of itinerant prophets who taught the people on new moon days and sabbaths (compare 2 Kings 4: 22-23). In one famous passage of his book he speaks of the prophets as raised up by God (2:11), and in an- other he compares the taking away of their teaching with a fi mine, 8: 11-13. But much of the preparation of mind and heart by which he was equipped and fitted for his task came, Judah (2 Kin in figures drawn from the surround- ings of his country home in Tekoa-- the lion's roar, the bear, the serpent, the invading banls of robbars from the neighboring wilderness, tLe warn« ing trumpet blast from the walls of the town summoning the people in the fields to their -afe shelter, the shep- kerd's care for his flock, the fowler, the fisherman, the occasional draught and consequent famine, tha locust swarm, and the river in flood in the rainy season.

Though a man of Judah, he carried his stirring mes- sages of warning and denunciation to the people of the aorthern kingdom, to the great sanctuaries of Bethel and Samaria with their throngs of holiday makers and worshipers. Very simply he makes it clear, in a number of chal- lenging questions (3: 1-8), that his right to speak comes to him from the compelling voice of God. "The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?" Compare 7: 14-165. II. HIS MESSAGE TO THE NATIONS, 1:2 to 2:16. [} We may imagine this first speech of Amos to have been delivered at Bethol, and quite possibly all his speeches at the same sanctuary. Under the pat- ronagy of the king, the sanctuary at Bethel had become rich, and its priest- hood powerful but corrupt. It was a dangerous place fn which to speak boldly against the evils of the time.

The cloak taken in pledge is not re- turned at nightfall as the humane laws of Israel required. There was drunkenness and prostitution at the very altars of God. The prophet re- minds the ple of the great things which the Lord .ad done for them ia! the past, in giving them victory over their enemies and possession of the land, and in raising up prophets to teach by precept and Nuzirites by clean living. But they had forbidden the prophets to teach and had tempted the Nazirites To break their vow. Israel, like every other nation, will honor as a chosen paople involved a heavier obligation ard a certain visi- tation of punishment, see 3: 1-2, and compare 9: 7. III. HIS PLEADING WITH ISRAEL, 4:4 13; 5:1:27. Amos has seen -he elaborate cere- monial :f worship at"Bethel and how little it has to do with righteousness, Ironically he bids the people to "come to Bethel and transgress; to Gilgal and multiply transgression." He re- calls tragic events of the recent past which should have led them to repent- ance, but by which they have not profited. A greater calamity is com- ing in which they will meet their offended God. But even y.t destruc- tion may be averted. He pleads with them to turn from iniquity ard to seek the Lord, 5: 1-15. In one of the finest passages of prophecy he represents the Lord as rejecting the ritual of sacrifice, feast, and song, and as say- ing, "Let justice roll down as waters, and righteousnst as a mighty stream." rm -- I -------- The Horse's Prayer To thee, my master, I offer my prayer: Feed me, water and care for me, and when the day's work is done pro- vide me\with shelter, a clear, dry bed, and a stall wide enough for me to lie down in comfort.

A society of youths was recently formed in Tokio to combat this super- stition, and the members of it could think of no better way of giving the lie to the myth than by being happily married. But there are many other educated young men who would sooner commit suicide than marry a Horse Woman. And there are Many Horse Women who do not commit suicide. "Cruel Society" The present year is the Year of the Horse, hence the revival of interest and a new crop of suicides. A girl found on Kamakura Beach, not many yards from the famous huge image of Buddha, had pinned on her kimono a note which said: "Hinoe-uma may be superstition, but to me it is real, O cruel soclety. Others like me are destined to go through the same agony. In Japan the years run im cycles.

The following recipe will be found useful, Cut into thin flakés one pound of yellow soap and turn into a sauce pan, pour on a pint of cold water, and put this on the fire to dissolve. Let the soap cook slowly until clear, remembering that if not watched it may boil over very quickly One pound of this soap jelly will ba suf. ficent to lather between five and six gallong of water. This is an excellent way of dis: posing of the odd pieces of soap which accumula'e in large households. "Why do you insist that fancy bath- ing suits ought to be encouraged?" "Because, they tend to prevent peo- ple from going into the water, where they might be drowned." msm Sa A woman who did not understand the language of business went into the Bank of England and asked to consult someone about her war loan holding.

THE WORD REPRESENTS A KITCHEN UTENSIL Ls LGTIGRS, WHAT'S ™e know how this would work out im actuality, The line of succession to the Crown of Great Britain at the present mo. ment can bo explained very clearly. First, of course, comes the Prince of Wales. As he i5 unmarried the next n [The is the Duke of York. It is hers at 4 ¥ery interesting and romantic position arises. For the time being the succession right goes on to the lit- tle Princess Elizabeth, but should a son be born to the Duke and Duchess, although he would be younger tham the Princess, he would not merely stand before her in the right to the throne, but actually he would exercise the potentiality of diverting the line to an enormous degree, as will be ex- plained later. What May Happen Should another daughter be added to the family of the Duke and Duchess of York and there be no son, the Pria- cess Elizabeth will remain the direct heiress to the throne in her owa right. : That is always providing of course, that the Prince of Wales does not marry and have a family. That much desired condition of things would, should it happily happen, again divert the line into an entirely new channel. Following the Princess Elizabeth at present in the direct line are the Duke of Gloucester, Prince George, Princess Mary and her eldest son, now the young Viscount Lascelles, in the order given. There is a good deal of misunder- standing as to the position of Princess Mary to the throne. Many people ap- pear to think that she should come be- fore the Princess Elizabeth. But ac. cording to the definite law of succes- sion the right passes to "the heirs and successors." It is because of this clause that the birth of any royal baby is of such im- mense importance constitutionally. Bach such birth creates the possi bility of this succession branching off at an entirely new tangent. Thus, should the Brince of Wales marry, any and every child of such a union would rank in precedence to every other member of the Royal family. Again should the eldest son of the Prince of Wales marry, it would be his children, who would once more alter the position and place the re- maining members of the Prince of Wales' family sevegal steps away from the throne. It is in this way that tae Princesa Mary could only succeed to the throns in the event of the Duke of York's family dying without direct issue and both the Duke of Gloucester and Prince George dying childless. In both the cases of the Duchess of York and Lord Harewood their posi- tion could only ba that of Royal Con- sort with no right of any kind per- sonally. Even a Commoner Perhaps the most interesting fact in thid connection is that it is now pose ible by Constitutional Law for even a& "commoner" to be a potential King or Queen of England in his or her own right. This has only been possible since 1917, when King George by spe- cial Proclamation changed the name of the royal house to Windsor and created the alteration in the law by which in future the title of Prince or Princess should only be used by child- ren of the sons of the King. Thus when Princess Mary's son was only plain Master George Lascelles he was still in the line of succession, but was not allowed to take on any special title. He is now Viscount Lascelles only by reason of being heir to his father's title of Earl of Harewood: There is also the outstanding in- stance of the eldest son of Prince and Princess Arthur of Connaught. He Is strictly a "commoner," although bagh his parents have royal titles. In the case of a female she can only succeed to the throne after all her brothers, but she has a superior right over the brothers of the King.
