men are busily learning the cul- inary a.rts at one of the first ex- perimental cooking courses for bus- bands to be started in Norway.

Every Thursday evening, they hurry from their place of work to a municipal domestic science school in an Oslo suburb.

They set about preparingathreb course dinner under the instruc- tions of the domestic science teacher, Mrs. Havin-whose lins- band is one of the pupils.

When the class is over and the dinner is cooked, pupils and teacher sit down together to eat it

The class uas started as an ex- periment by Mrs. Havin, encour- aged by her husband, a psycholo- gist. Mr. I-iavin's problem is that although he eats like a horse and is at the same time lazy by na- ture, he remains as thin as a rake.

Wives Need Change

"I wanted to find out how it was prepared, all this food which disappears so completely." he said. "It is an interesting study. some-

stancy of energy."

But most pupils men, who have decided that their wives deserve a day off every so often.

On the first evening. nothing more ambitious than vegetable soup and pancakes was attempted, but by the fifth lesson the male cooks were at home with Irish stew, fruit salad, and lemon and almond cakes.

The male pupils now say women are too bound by tradition, and they are already claiming they will be able to produce more ex- citing dishes-and produce them more cheaply than their wives. ..

Q. How can I clean a clock?

A. saturate a small piece of cotton with kerosene and place on the floor of the clock, in a cor- ner, and leave it there with the door closed for three or four days. The kerosene fumes cause the dirt to loosen and drop. Repeat this treatment as often as necessary.

Q. How can I prevent back strain?

A. Do not try to lift any heavy object with the back bent. Always crouch down and lift with a straight spine, making the weight come on the arms. A sprained back can be avoided in this way.

Q. llow can I avoid scgginess in potatoes that have been steam- ed or boiled with the skins on?

A. By removing the skin immed- lately. Drain the potatoes as soon as they are done. and dry them by lshaking the utensil over the flames.

For older people. good food is also imprtant because it will help to retain physical and mental vigor.

Q. When a young man takes I. girl out to dinner, and she happens to know' he doesn't earn much money, should she be very modest in what she orders?

A. Yes, but she must be tactful enough not to overdo it. She must realize that the young man would not have invited her if he didn't have enough money, and he might resent it if he knew she was 'holding back."

For Toinorroivv

IN order to produce resuiu this day, you must rely on clear think- ing, good judgment and careful at- tention to dcbails. Do not let cri- ticism or other forms of disapprov- al discourage you. If you know youirc on the right track. keep plugging. Just remember that no one can please everybody.

Creative work and cultural in- terests are under excellent aspect and this period is also a fine one in which to make plans concerning the future” especially those con- nected with travel or financial mat- ters. In making plans, however, be sure that you are concentrating on the future. Don't look backward. even if you have experienced fall- uu in the past. You hszve no cause for now.

If tomorrow is your birthday, it would be advisable during the coming months to capitalize on the career and financial gains you have been making these past months. If you have taken advan- tage of the opportunitfu offered during the latter part. of 1958, your program should be will established by now. and it would be foolhsrdy to risk still further successes by making sudden changu. .

Where domestic affairs are con- cerned, the next few months may witness some changes. There may be a marriage in your family or distant relatives may move in with you temporarily. There is also A possibility that the change will be environmental. In any case. although you may have misgivings at first, accept the changes with equaiiimity -- even though they may bring new responsibilities with them. Romance. cultural interests and social pursuits are in excellent aspect.

LIFE INSURANCE COEANIES KNOW THE WHOEI 8'l0BY ABOUT OVEBWEMHT

A physician wrote the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association asking if it were true that overweight (obesity) shortened the life span. He re- ceived the following .reply: A mortality (death rate) study of overweight by Dublin and Mark of the Metro "tau Life Insurance Company (1951) showed long- rangc benefit from weight rc- ducticn. This study was based on persons who were not given standard insurance, entirely be- cause they were over-weight. The study -covered persons (overweight) insured during the years was to 1934 and traced to 1950. The deathrate of all overweight pemons in the study was signifi- cantly higher than that of stand- ard risk persons.

A separate study was then made of those overwelghts who reduced their weight to the extent that they were given standard insur- ance. Among both men and women the deatii rate after reducing their weight was substantially less than that for all of the overweight persons studied. Among man the reduction in weight was of the order of one-fifth and among women about one-third.

What we must remember isthat life insurance medical examiners follow exacting rules regarding overweight; they do not take any chances because life insurance is like any other busina-5. a. matter of earning or losing money. If the individual who is overweight will reduce his weight to normal for his height and build. and keep his weight at this figure, he is given insurance at standard rates as long as he does so.

The editor of the Journal of the American Medical Amoclation, which Journal reflects the opinion of the great mass of its member- ship, thus states regarding over- weight and the life span: "The above information is perhaps the best evidence produced to date that weight control pays and is also the most practical approach now available to the problem of preventing or retarding the major degenerative disease of middlcand later life."

We must remember that these men and women had no defects or diseases other than overweight for which they were refused standard insurance. Then. by reducing their weight, and this is all they did. they were accepted by the life in-

SONG FOR. NOVEMBER

The summer leaves have spent

thsir singing green.

The upland meadows lie all harv- is

on :1.

Where the sweet Phlox and Mui- goid havc been.

A law and lovely isrkspur lifts her head;

This is the hour that sadly speaks

of change.

And when the hurt bests lowly in the night.

When morning cbbs in mint, and noon in strange,

And the bright birds describe their southward flight.

Brief days draw in a scooter mea- sure of hours.

While we. with lovo's own still unspent

Walk alien through I world of shattered flowers

And hear dark pi-essge in the wind's lament.

Many lovely days have come in this November and isiiich garden work has been accomplished . . . plants from the field have been planted in the borders for spring and summer blooming. The Rose Caznpion is a grey-leaved plant suitable for sunny dry places and seed sown in early spring soon brings many lovely sturdy plants. Foxglove and Sweet William were also planted and from my experi- ence wiil repay the gardener for all the tedious tasks in connection with their planting.

White Lilacs were divided and planted where needed and seeds of Violas and Pansies gathered in paper bags then placed in a warm spot to ipcn thoroughly.

Several gifts of seeds and flow- ers hiive come . . . . seeds from the New York Botanical Garden and seeds of a new Cosmos from a good gardener. A fresh green pct of one variety of Ivy, missing from this garden although several large Ivies still grow and look very well on the borders near the house, They will winter outside some mild winters but are usually can-fed down to the cellar for three months of the year.
