It was indeed lovely at the time mild and warm as a day in

early autumn. Men worked in their shirt-sleeves: children dis- carded jackets. The west was

brilliant with "the going down of the sun," the flames lingering for a. last glorious minute on hill and farmhouse and valley. Then sun- beams were withdrawn and not without fair promise for the mor- row, it passed from eight below our rim of world.

"Moat people with obesity (being greatly overweight). but without disease, eat too muchsparticulariy of carbohydrates (sugar, bread, potato). Such persons will often say they have small appetites, that they never eat a good meal, and so on. Patient questioning will gener- ally get such information as that the individual always tastes when cooking (in this way many calor-

is 'fond of sweet .stuffs,' or eats a lot of potatoes and bread."

I am quoting Rose M. Simmons, 8.S.R.N., dietitian to the Hammer- smith Hospital (Post Graduate School) in her book "Handbook of Diets.” The book records cases in which while the diet proper was followed at meals. one overweight ate a pound of chocolates daily and another half-pound of acid drops.

What we would call a 1.200 cal- orie diet in America is outlined in the book consisting of 240 calories of carbohydrates, 280 calories of proteins and 630 calories of fats.

Breakfast: Tea, milk (5 table- spoons), 2 eggs or a piece of fish or a thin slice of bacon; l wheat or other biscuit. piece of butter, the size of half a walnut; tomatoes V; pound. or any kind of fresh fruit.

Dinner: Lean meat or cheese -- about 3 ounces, a good plateful of green vegetables or salad; one small apple, orange, pear or grape- fruit; one wheat or other biscuit.

Tea: (midafternoom Tea. 5 table- spoons of milk; one egg; one wheat or other biscuit; piece of butter size of half a walnut.

Supper: (6.30 to 7 p. in.) steam- ed fish (about 6 ouncesl or lean meat or cheese: butter size of two walnuts: a good plateful of green vegetables or salad; one wheat or other biscuit. This is about 1,168 calories. Sugar. cakes. Pastries. puddings, Jam, bread, potatoes or fried food must not be eaten.

Plenty of green vegetables, salad and all fresh fruit, except ban- anas, may be eaten. Bananas are rich in sugar.

When the patient approaches his normal weight, the above diet can be increased. Add first one pint of milk daily and then bread and potatoes, regulating the amount of bread and potatoes to the loss or gain in weight.

Bugar should never be given in the diet of the obese patient.

The 1,200 calorie diet is suffic- lent for the office man. or house- wife with help.

Q. How can I retain the colors in cretonne when laundering?

Multi-colored gladloli and ferns formed the background for a pretty autumn wedding at St. James United Church, Souris, at 2.00 pm. on September 18th. when the Rev. W. B. F. Corkum united in marriage Joan Eileen Richards and Alan Kenneth MacLean, both of Souris. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Richards and the groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Maclcan. Mrs. H. H. Larter was the or- ganist and Mr. Lester Clarke of Plctou. N. S. was the soloist, sing- ing "Because". and during the signing of the register, "I'll Walk Beside You". Given in marriage by her father. the bride was charmingly attired in a. ballerina frock of white lace and net over taffeta. I-ler tulle veil was shoulder length, and she carried a semi-cascade bouquet of red roses.

Mrs. M. A. MacLean, sister of the bride, as matron of honour, wore a ballerina length gown

fashioned of light green appliqued net over taffeta, with a headdress of matching tulle. and she carried a semi-cascade bouquet of yellow roses.
