KEEP IN TRIM

Tlle splinter of worry that dieting might cause you to look older can keep you overweight for years. If you knew for sure that taking off weight could help you to look and feel years younger. you'd start to

t with eager anticipation. Repeatedly women write to ask how to lose 20 to 40 pounds "with- out looking awful pad feeling dragged out." There's a reason for this apprehension. On seml-starva- tion diets and ' ' ' reducing. nature does slap you in the face. But it's the poor nutrition and flabby muscles not the weight loss, that's at fault.

The way to reduce and look younger is to build the food psttem around the keeping young nutrients -particularly protein, calcium and iron. Protein helps to shore up sagging tissue; calcium acts as a buffer to the nervous system: iron stoves off fatigue.

While fewer calories are needed in middle age and over, more pro- tein food and body replenishing materials are required for wear and tear. This makes it plain that no one can my young on "empty" calories which give fuel but little protection to the tissues. "Empty" calories include alcohol, cooking fats. Iugar. cakes and pastries.

To draw on stored fat and re- duce. calories must be cut-there- fore all of a dleter's limited calor- ies must do double duty. The pro-

DOUBLE PROTEIN To keep up your strength and prevent hunger while reducing. build every meal around a double protein. Breskfast-.e- egg and a glass of skim milk; luncheon-fish or lean meat or cheese and a glass of buttermilk; dinner - hot soup made with skim milk, plus a lib- aral serving of lean meat. The meals should also include fruits and vegetables. and bread and butter- limited amounts. The foods that keep you looking young will keep you from feeling dragged out. The beauty rate of weight loss is one pound a week. For that mod- erate rate. you can eat at least 1210 calories a day. Exercise is important to looking and feeling young.

A little regular exercise in- creases circulation and tones muscles. Walking is perfect. . .two miles a day can make a dicter look radiant. Passive exercise on machines stimulates circulation and helps tone the muscles. Don't aim at ultra streamlines, for reducing too far is aging.

the light and a good deal of moist- ure given to it as it grows so very large.

The srcnted-Ieaved geraniums include the ”rose gcranlums" so called because their oils are used as a substitute for attar of roses in perfumes. soaps. and cosmetics. Many delightful scents are iound among the scenteds: apple. mint, lemon. rose. nutmeg. and straw- berry to name only a few.

There is also another class of dwarfs. cactils-stemmed an other oddities. These are so odd t at al- most invariably. a person seeing one for the first time will ex- claim. "That can't he a geran- ium". Some have bulbous roots and go completely dormant in summer. then start their growth with the rainy season to bloom in winter or early spring.

In old nursery catalogs we find varieties listed as long ago as 1890 and a Mrs. Shephvrd in California sent out many geranium plants in those years. She brought in the beat she could find in the United States and importt-d from abroad. Like all Mid-Victorians she loved

in a long, long trail. this geran- ium trail. it extends around the world from their homeland in South Africa: and nnw in Califor- nia where the society is located and where tho large iirld grow- ers are located we shall hear of many new varieties.

In California the commercial field growers grow geruniums of all classes by the thousands and rooted cuttings go out now to all parts of the world by the millions and even abroad.

In this province they can be used indoors and out in the gard- en in many different ways, so, take slips of your geraniums these wintry days and they will be ready for the spring planting. In groups of one color or in c ” - tion with other plants they will add much beauty to your garden at little cost.

BEAUTIFUL ROSE

In the book "Pageant of the Rose we read that Nero was ano- ther noted figure who used roses when a Roman noble came to din- ner. filling his fountains with rose water which was an enormous ex- pense and also caused roses to be scattered over the couches, halls. and ground. and upon the cushions where the guests lay. As if this were not enough. garlands of ros- es were placed on their brows and wreaths around their necks. Also figuring in our stroy is the Taj Mahil. supreme achievement of Mob mmedan art. built at Agra in 1632 by Shah Jehan for his fav- orite wife. The large pool in front of this magnificent edifice. reflect- ing the marble dome and minar- eta. was covered at night with rose petals. in the morning these were skimmed off before Mahal bathed.

From every country of the world in the olden times, there are stories of the rose: in Scot- land the poet Robert Burns writes of "A Red Rose" and many other poems of roses. In England. the

order of the Rose originated some-

the variegated-lcuvcd varieties. It '

time during the famous age of

chivalry, and the leaves or petals

of the rose embroidered on the

sleeves of knights were highly sy-

mbolic. Many of the Elizabethan

poets wrote of the rose. Sheke-

spearc in particular, brought the

romantic flower to life in almost

every play. Among his sonnets it

would be hard to find more beauti-

gillnlines than those of "Sonnet

"0 how much more doth beauty beauteous seem

By that sweet ornament which truth doth give'

The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem

For that.sweet odour, which doth in it live."

Flowers. and paticularly the rose. have been used by artists through the ages to express their ideals of beauty as well as the highest conceptions of religious feeling in art. Music. and the dance of the ballet have all been used by artists to portray the beauty and symbolic meaning of the rose.

The greater part of the early representation of the rose in art appeared in sculptured or carved decorations on churches and in paintings of sacred subjects. There are many beautiful illustrations of these carvings and paintings this lovely book.

sculptured roses cover the north- era portal of the cathedrals in Sweden. In other ehurcha the im-

These paintings on glass are beautifully soft as seen from the interior of the church. In the rich, glowing light of sunset. the roses thus painted seem to pose- ess all the freshness and beauty of the real flower.
