If you are not hungry—and have no appetite wjien you rhould ha%e one—then something may be wrong; better .see your doctor,—that’s what he’s for. It may be an easy time to set you right. % Then—I still cling to jftte ancient plan of eating things that taste good. What’s wrong with that? Just vd»y tastes g6od. It will take a lot of the ory to score up better ones. But . . . people get to figuring on “balanced ration,’’ and “calories,” and they fusi%arouilid about them, with an air of superior learning. First thing !you know, you are off on The trairo?” “vitamines,” and then you don’t lack imuch of being in over your head! You 'get afraid to eat white bread—really the most nutritious, best tasting bread in the world. Are you scared of white bread? One of my contemporaries re bel's to certain bread alarms as “the vitamin fad,” That’s not far from right. I’ve written thou;5£inds of words on diet and eating—yes,_|pillions.

Early Mailing MOVIES An old friend of mine named Moe Mark died the other day at the age of sixty. When I first knew Moe he wa.s running a little nickleodeon in Buffa lo, the kind of a show where you could put your eye up against a peep hole and see Mr. Edison’s first attempt at motion pictures. Pretty soon Moe Mark had a thea tre showing the early primitive mo tion picture plays. Before long he had a number of theatreR in different up state New York towns. They weren’t Mieatres really, they were merely storea with chairs in them. Ifoa Mark got the idea that a real ffcaatre built especially to run motion pktures would he profitable. He found It dlfUciiIt to make anyone else be lieve it, ^ut h* finally raised money •0 bniU the very first theatre in the worid for ^ movies. It is called the Utrand and ia dn Broadway in New tarfc. Postmaster R. R. Blakely is calling attention of po.st office patrons to the importance of early mailing of Ghrist- ma.H letters, cards and packages. “We will make every effort to handle the Fhristma.s mail without conge.stion,” states .Mr. Blakely, “but owing to the enormous volume thi.s can ’only <be done with the cooperation of the iVub* lie.” ’ ■ To get the be.st service, states Mr Blakely, packages should be mailed at least a week or ten days before Christmas. This will ensure delivery, he said, before the offices are closed for the Christmas holdiays on Sun day and Monday. The’ use of special delivery stamps will ensure delivery on Christmas day and the day follow ing if mailed at the proper time. Full information aa to methods of packing Christmas gifts will be found posted on the post offiM bulletin bodrd, said Mr. Blakely, or inquiry may be made at the stamp window.

Assistant President Talk Reports that Governor Roosevelt was considering a plan of creating a| new position in official Washington hy naming an assistant to the Presi- j dent, have been discounted by those > close to him. The main duties of the new official were to be the appoint ment of men to office as a reward for their recant political aetivitias. Near ly all recent Presidents have met this hehvy drain on their strength by turn- j j ► ing this work over'to the postmaster^ general, the cabinet officer who has the greatest appointive power from the standpoint of numbers. For eight years ft^lowing 1921, the postmaster general had been the cam paign manager of the President, the line being ^brokeiv by the naming of Walter F. Brown by President Hoo ver two years ago. If precedent is fol- Ibwed, James A. Farley will'become postnmster lienerml under Mr. Roose velt and will take over the soutine tfark of placing the Democratic work- era in the jobs that will become open whin President Hoover retires. .
