TRANSVAAL NATIVE PERFORMS OPERATION

To save money a Transvaal native operated 0n his wife. removed her appendix. and sewed up the wound successfully .

The story, for which there is stated to be postive evidence, comes from the district round Mideiburg, A native woman was suffering from appendicitis and the white overseer of the ranch on which her husband worked, called in a doctor.

The fee for the operation aston- lshed the woman's husband, who. after qumtioning the doctor about the nature of the operation, went to Tis wife's room bound her to a bed, and operated himself, without alyanaestheiic.

The operation was performed with Va pocket knife and the wound sewgd__wlth horse-hair. The doctor who. was called in by the overseer, could find nothing wrona.

Candles For Holden

A housewife tried new decora- tions for a birthday cake the other day, and tells about it. The can- tie, holders were small lime waf- ers with a hole in the center, into which the candies just fit. Place the lime wafers on the cake while lclrTg is still soft and let them be- come set before inserting the can- dies. If a more elaborate decora- tion is desired, crush some of the wafers and sprinkle on sides of cake. With this you can serve vanilla ice cream with a spoonful of lime gelatin and one of orange."

SAVORIBATTER

The emalns of a roast turkey. duck, or chicken may easily be made into an abpetising hot dish in the following way. Cut all the meat from the bones and mince it finely. Season it with a little salt and pep- per and lay it in a well-buttered, fireproof dish. From the bones make a little stock, and. add to it any gravy that may have been left over. Thicken and brown this and mix it with the meat. There should be only just enough liquid to make the mixture soft. Prepare suffici- ent batter to covcr the mince, and when the oven is hot pour the bat- ter over the meat in the dish and bake it until it has risen well and is nicely browned. Any kind of cold meat may be used up in this way. but veal and mutton require some extra seasoning. such as thyme and majoram or tomato ketchup.

REGIONAL NEEDLEWORK

Needlework is becoming as regi- onal as cookery. Interesting facts that have struck the organisers of this exhibition» are that Warwick- shire and Oxfordshire women arc now famed for their patchwork. and Wemyss, in Fifeshire, is mak- ing a name for its Jacobean em- broidery, just as Durham has done for quilting (says the Dally Tele- graph.)

Durham is likely to have another speciality-that of rug-making in the Portuguese manner. This craft is being taught to unemyployed men by Lady Gainford, whose home 1' at I-Ieadlam Hall, near Darlingtcn.

Richard I-Ialliburtonis new book “Seven League Boots," published on November 15th, l; very typically Halllburton. but l-ialiiburwn per- haps at his worst. Some of his ad- ventures lack the truthful ring and cause one to wonder if. through all his glorious adventures, roads to romance and flying carpets, he has afwr all been putting a great deal over on us. Hi5 first books “The Royal Road to Romance" and “The Glorious Adventure” reflected the authenticity of pure delight in youth- Eul discoveries but "SBVBn League Boots" clearly reveals the striving for sensational effects.

In his introduction Mr. Haillbur- ton tells that he has been commis- sioned to visit strange p‘aces and, write about whatever pleased him —the more far-fetched, the better. apparently.

His seven league boots first take him to Fort Jefferson, the one- time “Devil's Island" of Xmerica, on the Fiorlda Keys; next, to Sant- iago, where he recalls some inter- esting incidents of the Spanish- American war; thenée to Haiti where he is again interesting and maybe probable. His step to Santa Domingo to sea the home of Chris- topher Columbus is iii no way alarming. either, and includes a. photograph of the model of a very beautiful Coiumbus Memorial Lighthouse in which the bones are to be eventually entombed. But his next stride would stretch. I an in- clined to think. both the boots and credulityt. He arrives in liikaierin- burg. now Svcrdbvsk. in Western Siberia just in time to hear "by a strange twist of circumstances"— very twisty-—the complete confes- slon-a three lzour onc-of the only living wsassln of the three who took the lives of the Czar of Rus- sia and his family. Both the con- fession and its sct:lnq, are about as melodramatic and as sanguinary as a. vivid imagination coulddevise- the assassin himse‘! is dying and each word may b: his last!

Mr. Halliburtons other strides across the globe, including a visit to the monks of Athos. the city of the Minotaur in Crete, an interview with Ibn Baud. and dinner with Kalle Selassie. arc very readable. and his grand, climax-crowing the Alps. like Hannibal. 0n an elephant, is quite amusing. He really succeeds in keeping one from being sorry

"Dally" enjoyed the adventure just as much as he did.

A clever idea is being cleverly and very successfully carried out in London- by three young art stud- ents.

Girls Keep Away From That “Slimming” Diet if You Really Want Some Man to Love You — He Doesnit Want a Hunk of Skin and Bones to Cuddle

Dear Miss Dix-I am engaged to be married to a very nne Blrl who,

I fell in love with her, was my ideal of just the sort

a wife. She was pretty and a perfect picture of health. rosy-checked ind full of energy, al- ways on her tip-toes about everything and sweet and even-tempered 1n disposition,

About six moths ago she got bit with the dieting mania. She was merely plump, but she decided she wanted to get herself down to tho so-calied fashionable living-skeleton figure. Now» she is ‘as thin as a string bean. She has lost all ‘of her good looks and is list- less and anemic, and her temper has got so

‘ edgy it is impossible to get along with her. l have called her attention to a sad. ‘case where a young girl friend of ours recently died be~ cause site bad starved herself down so the doctors said aha had nothing with which u. fight disease. She won't listen to me, how-

of woman a man wants for

ever. Perhaps i! you~ would say somethlus. about this craze girls have for killing themselves by reducing it would d. some good. an AZNXIOUS swmrrman-r. . .__..i_ AIISWQI‘! .

. When even the pangs WOfllllll .who has determined to reduce herself to a bu! °l “n95. “mm- that any human being can say. though he spoke with the voice of 411151111‘. will move her from her purpose. The sufferings of those misguided ieuiales who sit daily at tables that are groaning with good food and who

partake only of a lettuce leaf and an olive are not to be described.

1n Holland there is a museum of the grizzly implements of torture that were used during the Inquisition. The guide tells you that after the rack and the thumbscrew and all the other devices had failed to make the heretics recent, they were put in a cell over the kitchen from which savory odors ascended, and we were subjected to the ordeal of star- This, he said. got the stoutest of most of them. Yet to this of otherwise sane girls subject themselves voluntar- llY so that they may attain a boyish figure. Truly vanity is more potent than religion. '

And the pitiful part of this sacrifice is that it is usel , because nine- ty-ninc women out of a hundred look better plump than they do emaciat- ed. Men for whom this agony is endured prefer a good armful to a bundle of bones. Hunger will sour the sweetest -- - 'tlon on earth. Married men are a unit in objecting to their wives‘ dieting.

My opinion about reducing is that of the loywoman- But recently I have had a letter on this subject from one of the most famous physicians in this country, which I am taking the liberty to reproduce for the benefit of skinny girls. and in the hope that they willlisten to his words of warn- ing. Referring w a previous article of mine 0n this matter, he Buys:

"would that your remarks on the subject of the adolescent weight- reduction complex be emblazoned in large letters upon the front pages of newspapers throughout the country at least twice a. year. It might be instrumental in preventing many thousand cases of avoidable tuberculosis and untold familial unhappiness. Such publicity against self-destruction would prevent the filling of my graveyards. ‘

' “In my work on ductless gland diseases referred tome by other physi- cians. are many cases of thyroid disorder in the form of marked under- functlon or overfunctlon directly traceable t0 the unwarranted weight- reduclng mania- The ductleas glands, especially the thyroid, are either whipped up, or more commonly depressed, occasionally thrown out of all balance. onc with the other. by the lack of pabulum which they require for normal function.
