A perfect 31 girl, 5 feet 5 inches tall, has legs like this: thigh.20y2 Lnches; knee 13% inches; calf, 12% inches; ankle, 7% inches.A perfect 36 who is 5 feet 7 inches tall can add either a half or a whole inch to thigh, knee and calf measure-ments, but should have only an 8-inch ankle.You can do your legs a daily good turn as simply as this: Be sure your shoes are long enough and the heels for walking not too high, Use a brush to scrub both your knees and heels whether you think they need it or not.Remember, care of the legs and feet calls for a lot of things, of which none are more important than soap and water.Rub a little greaseless lotion or ciearn over jour entire leg but particularly into your knees, heel:- and bottom of your feet\u2014after the scrubbing.Do some sort of magician act weekly to whisk away hairs.Maybe you think the glamor girls of moving pictures and model fame have been over-emphasizing this, but it is stiP a thing for you to do if you want your legs considered chic.If you think your legs could be smaller and smarter, study them in I your full-length mirror.Get out I your tape measure and compare | your own inches with those suggest-| ed as a standard.Make a chart before you begin either massage or exercising.Record weekly the measurements for you thigh, knee, calf and ankle.Then you can see if you arc taking your exercise correctly enough, long enough and regularly cnoujrh.Otherwise why kid yourself into thinking you benefit from pinching.bending or bumping?Whether your legs seem thick or thin, you can improve them by improving your posture.A -impie check is to back up to a wall.If your shoulder', hips, calves and heels touch the wall, you are doing pretty well.If they don\u2019t set yourself the daily task of trying to make them do it.It all amounts to an exercise well worth the effort.EASTER DAY IS CELEBRATED BY LOCAL GROUP Special Services Held in Local Protestant and Catholic Churches to Mark Resurrection.Brilliant Mmshinc finally broke through the clouds that shrouded I he curly pail of Master Sunday, when the joyous nn sage of the Rosunaction wa-s fold in all Sherbrooke churehes yesterday.Special Easter masses were celebrated in all Gatholie churches.A nmriso service was held yesterday morning at the Plymouth Church, especially for the young people of the Protestant Churches.An address was delivered by Flight Lieutenant Higgins, R.G.A.F.Chaplain at Vie-toriavillo, and breakfast was esrved following 1 he si I vice.Special music and sermons featured services in the Protestant churches, with the Rev.G.Basil .Times, M.A.\tD.C.L., of Bishop's University delivering the sermon at the Choral Conimumon in St.Peter\u2019s Church.\u201cRabboni\u201d was rendered by the Plymouth choir under the direction of F.V Chamberlain, in Plymouth Church last evening.In observance of Master Monday, the City Hall.Court House, banka and several downtown stores were closed today.Yesterday\u201d Master Parade rung up the curtain on the last, one before those clothes known as \u201cpie restriction period\u201d fade into oblivion.From the point of vu v, of fashion, the new e lot he a regulations effected little change in dit* Master turnout in She;

been depending on this one field.MEXICAN MILITARY PREPARATIONS Mexican school children are practically in the army now.with close order drill in the first grade and band grenade practice starting in the fourth.High school, which -tarts there after the sixth grade, will bring machine gun and anti-tank training.There is even a provision for coast defence gunnery instruction in school.It all started a year ago when the country made provision for adult compulsory military training, which plan, however, was quietly sidetracked after the United States entered the war.President Avila Gamacha said Mexico was all for the United Slates but could do her more good for the present \u201cin the fields and factories.1\u2019 Unofficially, officials figured compulsory adult training would take too many men out of productive work, which is Mexico\u2019s main need.Instead, the plan to put military training in the schools was brought out.It is part of a plan to give training to as many people as possible without dislocating the economic life of the country.The Federal i Labor Department has issued instructions for voluntary military training for workers and promised rifles\u2014.22-calibre to the disgust of many work- ' men\u2014for practice.School training will not produce as main soldiers as fast, but it will provide basic military training for approximately one million boys.Furthermore, school authorities figure that physical training will be good for Hie children and a larger percentage of the million will be able to serve in the field.CANADA\u2019S FORESTED AREA Canada\u2019s total forested area now exceeds 1.220.000\tsquare miles and occupies thirty-five per cent of the country\u2019s land area, according to a report of the Dominion Forest Service, which states that i while about 130,000 square miles are not suitable for commercial operation-, on the other 770,000 square | miles the trees are large enough for use now or can be expected to grow to usable size in the future.The Service explains that because of Canada\u2019s great size, and the concentration of her population in j the Southern parts, large areas of forests of commer-1 cial quality are too far removed from centres of consumption to be economically operated.The portion of productive forest now accessible totals about 430,000 square miles of which about 43 per cent is merchantable timber and 33 per cent is occupied by young growth.Volume of wood in merchantable forest is estimated at 313,140,000 cubic feet and of this amount 252.160.000\tfeet board measure of sawlogs and 1.300.000\tcords of small material are accessible.WHAT SHOULD I EAT?By Grenville Klehtr What should I eat?The immediate answer of some people would be, \u201cOh, I have the digestion of an ostrich.Never had a stomach-ache in my life.I can eat everything and anything.\u201d Those are the very people who should take care, especially after thirty.In this, as in Oilier things, strength may lie weakness and weakness may be strength.The man who has to take care of a poor digestion is not likely to overeat, to eat too fast, to eat, the wrong things; but the man who lias never known what it was to suffer from indigestion is in danger.He eats too fast, and often too much.He lends to become weighty, and overweight means a risk of diabetes, high blood-pressure, apoplexy, heart trouble, Bright\u2019s disease, ail sorts of evils.Perfect digestion, unless it is accompanied by strong sense and self-control, is a temptation to J abuse nature's gifts.Just as the very strong man is often the one who strains himself, so the man with an excellent digestion in youth is often the one who ends a martyr to disease caused by an outraged digestive system.Dietetics has now been brought into line as an intricate science; but without going into details, I we can lay down a few sound rules.Among these a re : Take some milk every day.Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.Re moderate with cereals, sparing of meat and sweets.Avoid tea, coffee and alcohol, but go strong on water.The advantage of any food lies in what it can provide for your body.The body has certain definite necessities, which only food can supply.Food is the heating cpparauis of the body, among other things; that is- why so many underfed people! develop pneumonia when lliey fall ill.Food is burned in the body exactly as fuel is burned under a boiler to develop heat and energy, j The heat-giving part of food is called \u201ccalories\u201d; a calory is a heat-unit, something about a gram of water and one degree centigrade; a certain number of calorics are needed daily by your mechanism.Other ingredients of food are proteins, carbohydrates and fats, all of which serve different purposes, Proteins are necessary, but excess of them is dangerous, for proteins putrefy more quickly than fats or carbohydrates, and cannot be stored in the body above the day's needs, whereas excess of the other constituents can he stored as fat.So it is better to go very light on foods containing a high proportion of protein, Such foods are meat, fish, eggs, milk and legumes- that is peas, One man was instantly killed and another fatally injured a- the result of a premature explosion in the pit of the Bell Asbestos Mine at Thetford Mine-.Grave fear- are felt for hundred- of down river farm families as the Mississippi River broke through its levees in the worst flood of history.The officers elected at the annual meeting of the Sunday School of the Waterloo Methodist Church were M.It.Temple, It.Bird, J.M.Smith, H.Bird, Jr., Lyle Pearson, Gordon Kirnber, N.O.Rockwell, A.A.Racicot, K.W.Hills, Mis;
