Coffee

Sometimes an Ifternoon Ipent talking about books and bits of life

that re-occur when coffee cups or tea cups are passed around,

with

small saucer size squares of good bread or scones. time wanders away. and you begin to remember your first of such afternoons spent in an- other house years ago. The lady who lived in this house enjoyed and believed in I quiet hour at four for tea. Whether or not she would con- sider a morning break for coffee, I'm afraid I can't say, because I never

got to ask her. It all really began because she had such a wonderful .

backyard and ash-bin. One day when we were tcachinz her grand- daughter to balance herself on the narrow fence beside the bin by the woodshcd, she came to the door.” "Won't you all come in. I'm just go- ing to have some team, and we may all have some."

There was a fire in the low grate, the shcepback rug lay be- fore the fire, as though he too, were quite happy to stay here and be comfortable. We stretched out on the rug and put our elbow's on the wool of its back and pre- pared our cars for the story read- ing which we thought might come. She liked to read aloud. and she always said, tilt is good practise for me as I'm going to reading club tomorrow." when she read to us she made the charac- ters of the story whisper, if they were supposed to do so, laugh if necessary, but she always made a poor job of making them cry.

I liked to watch her prepare the tea. Sitting on fire she had a tiny kettle and when the water was boiling she would make the tea at the little linen covered table she had placed beside her. We children drank milk of course. but enjoyed the importance of preparation as though we intend- ed to drain the teapot. There is much accomplished in I time set; aside for leisure each day. whe- tiier it is the afternoon or the morning. There is reading, there is music and best of all. friend- ship which will be remembered, again, in another quiet hour.

, . a .

The other day some one told me. "you know I've heard it said, God gave you I face, but you make your own mouth." And I wondered how my own mouth was, turned up at the corners or down. When you walk along the street the mouths come at you in all shapes and sizes, grim, twist- ed. or smiling.

If the spot is dry it can be removed with turpentine and of course ether or gasoline, but both these are lnrfiammable and dangerous. .

USING A DRUG AND REDUCED DIET T0 GL”I' RID OF EXCESS FAT

Practically every physician has

many overweight patients who are

looking for a short cut to get rid of excess fat. Our insurance com- panies. who deal with overlvelght

as a defect or disease. warn their

policyholders about the dangers of overweight after the age of 30. as

it predisposes to heart and blood

vessel disease. diabetes and other ailments. The hrst thing an overweight

learns from his piiysicizui is that as the excess fat did not come on

in a matter of days or weeks, it will take many weeks or even months to get rid of it safely.

When weight ls taken off too rap- idly. particularly from about the organs in the abdomen, the organs may drop 3. number of inches. causing shock and interfering with digestion.

I have written many times about the great damage done to health and also the loss of lives following the publication of the 10-day diet. This diet was prescribed for a young movie star who had only 18 days to get down to the weight specified in her movie contract It was never meant for any man, or woman, doing his daily work.

There are. however. cases where

the physician must help the pat- ient to get rid of his or her excess fat in a short time. It is in these cases that the drugs Benzedrlne Sulfate and Dexedrine Sulfate are prescribed. but a physician must supervise the patient's dosage to prevent any ill effects from these drugs. In clinical Science, London. Drs. D. A. W. Edwards and G. I. M. Swycr report their comparison of the effects of thyroid extract and Dexedrine Sulfate. They. found that Dexedrine Sulfate (dextro- amphetamlnc). 5 mg. three times I day. greatly increased loss of weight, when used in a low food value diet of 1,000 calories. Thyroid extract (30 mg. three times a day) did not cause loss nf weight using the same amount of food. Dexe- drine Sulfate and thyroid extract had no enacts upon each ollher. The Dexedrine sulfatg continued to cause loss of weight over a. per- iod of four months and there was no difference in its effects in dif- ferent months. The mean or over- age loss per month over the four months without Dexedrine but using the 1000 calorie: diet was 5!4 pounds; with Dexedrine Sul- fate and the 1000 calories diet it was about 8 pounds per month.

The above shows that with re-

month was lost. of course. cases requiring more
