Kipling-. DIET AND FOOD After all the advice from various diet experts as to reduction of fat. If we simmer It down to the rea sonable and nor mal conclusion, we find that If one Is overweight, we need less food and more of exercise. Less food does not mean that we should change our mode of living, or give up the foods we like, but cut down on the amount. Leave the table with the feeling that you could eat more, and would really enjoy more; but refrain. Such Is good discipline for both the body 'and the mind.

One of the evils of our modern civilized life Is the complex ity and mixtures that we make of food. Look at the large families of healthy children If there are any large families In your neighborhood; nota their diet. One family of nine, with seven healthy, rugged, bright-minded children would have for a noon meal such a one as this: When green peas were plentiful, they made a meal of cooked peas with bread and butter. . When strawberries were In season strawberry shortcake would be the whole meal for the nine. All had all they wanted and everybody was satis fied and needed nothing more. Every one of those children Is well and doing his or her part In the world's work. They were poor, but never made any apologies If a friend dropped in at meal time; he was as welcome as if they were serving a feast, which it was, to every guest. . How simple we could make our meals if we followed the single diet; what a saving on the housewife and wear and tear on our stomachs. But of course we hear some one say, I cannot eat strawberries and It doesn't ran in our family to like cabbage? Well, pick out the food you do like; there should be many, and give a day to the enjoyment of each, or even a meal of one food now and then.
