What WI Mind Your Posture for Health, Style and Poise, Says Author By MARGARET MARA The good posture naggers, who from your earliest child. hood have reminded you to "throw back your shoulders," "keep your back straight," "pull in your chin" and "walk on the balls of your feet," were on the wrong track. "You can't improve your physical setup piecemeal!" declares Janet Lane, author of "Your Carriage, which is being brought out May 5 by John Wiley and Sons, publishers. Five minutes after the nagger has handed out advice the words are forgotten and it is just as well, the author decides. "Bones have no independent existence and muscles don't act singly," points out Miss Lane.

"They are always joined to the next one and carry a common burden." Proper coordination of muscles and bones to attain health, style and poise is plained in the book which contains numerous instructive and amusing sketches by Mary C. Highsmith.

Cookbook Written by Men Pokes Fun at Food Foibles By ELSA STEINBERGER Food Editor Just off the press is the book Fletcher Pratt and Robeson Bailey If you are looking for a good lations and accurate recipes, this for the amusing sidelights food, food habits and suggestions for combining foods, you will thoroughly enjoy the book.

Written in a man's language, the authors, Mr. Pratt and Mr. Bailey, poke fun at many food foilbles and while pretending annoyance at "dietitians" and women's magazine food we find that they frequently follow the rules they deride. We do agree with them that food and the eating of food should be a pleasure and not only necessity. We also agree that many people lack imagination and curiosity about food, and so develop monotonous and inflexible food habits.

This is not a book to be skimmed through or you will miss many delightful references and amusing tales that illustrate and emphasize their points. From the Artic to the tropics, from the Orient to the Occident from ancient times to modern ones, they touch upon interesting food habits and customs. Fletcher Pratt is known for many books and articles, especially in the field of naval history. It said that he takes charge of the culinary department at home while his wife, Inga, has been given credit for the illustrations in the book. Robeson Bailey, a teacher of English at Smith College, also practices what he preaches as tol MEN a OFF -THE FACE gray fur felt with heavy mesh matching color veiling that ties underneath the hair in the back.

Put your fat in the bottom of a heavy cast iron or cast aluminum pot that has a tight-fitting cover, and let it get good and hot. Add garlic if you like, and sliced onions whether you think you like them or not. After the meat has seared and the water has been added, a couple of bay leaves and cloves can go in.

An hour or so before dinner time, quartered big potatoes or small whole ones are added, together with carrots, pieces of turnip, or almost any other vegetable of fairly solid and beans are very texture-lima good, so are peas, although these should go in much later, as overcooking them is a sin; they tend to fall apart." have this book in their book department.
