There is not anytime in the year that some work cannot be done for the garden. If you have saved some everlasting flowers, it IS a pleasant task to make them up into dried bouquets. I saw a most lovely large bouquet of these flow- ers in the Library and was quite surprised to find it had been made by an artist man. It was a beauti- ful bouquet ot bright soft colors. made of many grasses and what we call weeds and seed pods. Many. many plants had been used of different shapes and graceful branches. I looked. and looked. and must see it again.

THE MISTLETOE

thoughts of many, especially those from the Old Country turn to the Mistletoe bough and its associat- ions, always very happy and often very dear.

Great virtues were attributed to this plant by the Druids: has now no medicinal repute. though there is an enormous de- mand for it in connecti with Christman festivities. Of the use .Mistletoe by the Druid we find it &was held in high esteem. and it .figured prominently in their re- ligious nbservnnces; but the Mistle- toe used must have been grown upon oak and cut in a proper man- ner and under correct conditions by duly authorized persons. It has been called the celestial tree. and in Wales the following lines are used in refrence to It:

You can rely on that pro- mise. Moreover. after the first slightly hungry week. you'll enjoy eating for normal weight. I Let's see how the science of nut- prition works.

Of course. not as quickly as a sum in arithmetic can be done, for it lakes time tto turn solid (at back into energy. But results are just as certain. i Each pound of fat represents 3.- 500 calories: that is. extra calories you have eaten and not used for energy. Its easy to figure that 30 pounds represent roughly :00,- 000 stored calories. . .calorles you can draw on for part of your energy

Calorie Figures Don't Lie-

Thll is.the way you azure. 1! you are more or less sedentary - that II, If you take little physical activity - you normally require around 2000 calories a day. and a safe reducing diet for you is I000 calories. However. if you do phy- istcally active work. then your cal- orie. requirements are 2200 to 2-I00 daily. These are for women. Men require a minimum of l!)0 to I-100 salaries dolly while reducing.

To get on with it.. let's assume your normal requirements are 2000. for in this push-button, motor car age, most women do not have the kind of physical activity that burns many calories. To make a dent in those 30 excess pounds, we cut calories to 1000 a day In a week's time. that amounts to a 7000 calorie deficit; or to put it another way. you would be draw- ing on stored calories at the rate of 7000 per week. Since there are 8500 calories in one pound and you are burning 7000 stored calories a week. you would lose 2 pounds a week.

you may lose from 3 to 5 pounds the first week a d even into the secciid week. Y ur mathematical mind quickly figures that this loss actually amoupts to more than your total calorie deficit. How coulii this possibly be? Part of the initial weight loss is in water. As the tissues give up their sur- pIu- water. this loss shows up along with the loss in actual fat. Later on. you will not lose so fast, even with the same calorie deficit, but the loss will all be in fat.

This water balance sometimes works the other way. and the re- ducer stores water. But this con- dition will give way to a subseq- uent rapid loss of weight so that the end result will coincide with the calorie subtraction.
