We started on tho, diet squad a week iiko thin noon at the UghtlioilM, 1G3 West l.ehlgH nvenuo. The menus were prepared at tho School of Eco nomics of Columbia C ffaHlvc KdBBBr JJBriliWi :. w LlBKTTA NEL'KOM University, one of tho best In tho country. bo tho meals are really scientifically correct. Tha .diet fqu.nl Is under( tho auspices of the ,v -i.U6 extension institute, a national organic f sauon with Icurtlntr educators and pnysi- clans ax Its sponsors. ,w Jiml an olllclal welKhlnir of tho squad .'todajl-, and anions the clsht members there his been a total loss of llvo and seventy-flve-hundredths uoiindH. while tho calns iiave been four pounds, making a net loss of one and seventy-flvc-hundredths pounds. HLIOHT LOSS IN WEIGHT a. W. Freeman, star palner, lias put on Vtwpand one-half pound,. I come next, bav ins gained ono pound. Herbert Talor, our heavyweight and champion eater, has Rained half a pound. That makes Mr. Freeman's weight 1CS and Mr. Taylor's 190H. The others arc as follows: 11. It. 1. Bradford, 1"5'J pounds, no gain no loss; fMIss Florence Dlrty, JI8, loss threo (Pounds; Mrs. Ocorge W. Freeman, Ul'i. " loss one-half pound ; Kobert D. KIcss. 129, ..Josa one-half pound, and Kdward r. l.el yard, HS'.Ir loss three-quarters of a pound. , In dollars and cents, we can say that ' we have averaged $1.73 a person a week and that Is going some, for It means that a family of eight grownups can bo fed for 1144 a week. Not one of us barf missed a , meal and we have eaten nothing between meals. Ono kindly woman lias become much disturbed because she thinks that some of us are being Imposed upon. She has written to the Evening; Lcnovn saying that some of the diet rquad members are paying for more than they are getting, ahd some are not paying for all they get. Hut she need not worry. All the food Is furnished t.o tho eight members of the diet squad by the Lighthouse management. We wero all delighted with the meals yesterday, although vn were tint unrtimi. larly keen about appearing for breakfast at - tha wlfcjilns hour of eight on a Sunday morning. Hut tho pancakes we hud were ,f worth.lt. At noon we had a roast -. I nn.i ....t i. sauce dinner with white wheat br-:.,l Vm J" Pnut butter, hominy, apricot tunluca nud. ftfi, aing and tea or milk. Ii . . n,,,,'l "1 "ns ko good that I fjMHua Miss GUI, the dietitian, for the recipe. Tha one she rave ma la enough; for five per sona. Cover ono cupful of- pearl tapioca with cold water and let It soak for ono hour Then drain off the cold water nnd pour or three cupfuta of billing water In which ha been P aced one-half teaspoouful of salt. Cook over water. In a double boiler If you have one, until tho tapioca Is transparent and no hard center remains In nny kernel. This should take about thirty minutes. When the tapioca Is done, cut up six apri cots In n buttered baking dish. Add one half cupful of sugar to the tapioca nnd pour this over tho apricots. Add the Juice from the apricots and bako In a modern to oven for twenty minutes. Serve cool. If you are planning to use dried apricots they should be soaked overnight nnd cooked In the same water In which they have been soaked, soak, of course, until they nre tender. . I collected a number of recipes which have been requested by Kvrninu I.KDnr.a readers, who are Interested In tho diet squad. Ono reader from nut In Ohio has written to say that she tried tho baked bean soup recipe and found It delicious. She says she Is read'ig tho reports of the diet squad doings every day nnd Is learning a lot of things about food values which she never knew before, nlthough sho has been keeping house for nenrly thirty years. A number of persons have fcsked about the baked haddock. They say that they have known It was good, but have never known how to prepare It. For five per sons Miss Oltt says to get ono and three quarters pounds of haddock. First clean It thoroughly nnd then sprinkle It with salt and pepper. Then make n smiling consist ing of two cuptuls of bread crumbs, one tablespoonful of grated onion, nne-half tea spoonful of salt, one-eighth teaspoonful of pepper and one-half cupful of hot water. An added touch which makes the dressing delicious Is to cut up a pickle or two In It. Put tho stutllng In the rtsh and then brush It with one tablespoonful of melted fat, sprinkle with flour and put on n rack In a baking pan In tho bottom of which Is a half cupful of water. Hake In a hot oven for about forty-five minutes. Haste the fish occasionally to keep It from getting dry.

One of the many exclna ivcandunique pieces that m ak-t our floors so in teresting to home-lovers. wm LL OVER the United States the name "Van Sciver" is the recognized synonym for fine furniture. Since the beginning of this business it has been our aim to preserve and constantly re-create only the tradi tionally good and beautiful in furniture and to accept only such modern interpretations as were justified by changing requirements and in accordance with the precepts of art craftsmanship. Also, to so handle our business in its several aspects of manufacturing, importing and retailing as to bring tho cost of our finer kind of furniture as low or lower than the commonplace sort sells for elsewhere. Through specialization in our line, through our compara tively inexpensive, yet prominent location, through our experience in manu facturing as well as retailing, and through sincere devotion to the highest ideals of the art of furniture making, we have accomplished this dual pur pose. And the esteem in which the Van Sciver Store is held, as well as the steady growth of its business, attest the fact. &?: Jllllllllllll imiii. iiS"l'u''''''"'''1'l"iy''"'iia"anTifSraamaliMia'aaaai IE M' H m """ llll.-lilllllliiiiiiil m nniillliiii fflll IJ JJ 1 1X1 1 - 'iiiiiij rrcrsri iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniriuiiiiii nrrm r'C i l.Vt . -i PralK ' MarkCtStreet SS, Tenth Street WL i B 15-75 $1 J. 75 V IK .
