What Causes Weight Gains

By Herman N. Bundeien, M. O. THOSE of uh who weigh more than we should seldom like to admit that our stoutness in due to overeating. We search around for reasons and causes elsewhere, aome believing it la only "natural" for them to be fat while others think they may have glandular trouble. And it is true that certain gland disorders do lead to a gain in weight. Nevertheless such cases are few and far between. Most doctors, among them Dr. Edwin G. 1-angrock of New York, state that the only reason for obesity in the vast majority of cases is the eating of more food than is required. In any case, even where overweight is due to glandular disturbances, the treatment consists basically in eating leas. Height and Weight Many height and weight table* have "been formulated which show what the average person between 25 and 35 years of age should weigh. According to Dr. imnjtrocw, weights above these levols are detrimental to health and lead to a shortened life stain. No additional weight should be' gaiiued after 3<r years of age. In planning the diet so as to bring about a loss of weight or maintain the weight al the normal level. steps must toe taken to be sure that snaugn of the various food parts especially protein are 'supplied for l-.-dy growth

Every city In the country still battles with the traffic problem and congestion In uptown shopping areas. One wonders If anything can be done. Deliberating on the subject, one gets around to the point that our towns were not built for the millions of automobiles that now travel the highways and city streets, but that does not help In the attempt to make the streets more safe to travel. What is the solution? n—o The heavy flow of traffic along Second street makes it difficult for pedestrians to cross the street, either at Monroe or Madison streets. Would a watchman at these crossings serve better than the signal lights when traffic is the heaviest? Should right turns he prohibited at the intersections? Anyone who watches the string of cars and the score of people who want to make a crossing, north or south, east or west, wonders if anything can be done to help the situation. O 0— — There have been numerous demands that congress iron out federal income tax inequities caused by nine states* having communityproperty laws which permit husband and wife to divide income equally for tax purposes.. It would be difficult for a congressman to find anything to say in defense of this situation, for it means that a family in a community-property state may pay u considcifibly smaller income tax than similar families of equal income in states that do not have this law. 0 0 The world knows that Winston Churchill, wartime British premier, packs a great wallop as an orator. Equally as competent is bis ability as a writer. For his memoirs of the war period, be is said to have received a minimum guarantee of a million dollars from an American magazine, which will publish a condensed version of the five volumes. The memoirs no doubt make Interesting reading and shed light on many of the significant events through which Churchill lived. British history will always list bis name as the fighting premier. _—o— —o Parents, guest* and graduates were Inspired at the Decatur high school baccalaureate service Sunday evening, ’t was a most edifying and Inspirational religious service. The music was beautiful and the sermon by the Rev. Dr. Charles E. White of the Trinity Evangelical United Brethren Church on. "Two Attitudes Toward Life" was eloquent in meaning and delivery. Dr. White stressed the moral and spiritual phases of life as contributing to real happiness. His analogy was drawn from the contrast in King Solomon’s life of getting and St. Paul's of giving.

Protein is furnished by such foods as meat, milk, eggs, cheese and whole-grain cereals. There should also be enough protein for the adult to maintain and repair the body tissues. In addition, vitamins and minerals should lie supplied and enough starchy foods and sugars to supply energy and prevent acidosis or a lessening of the amount of alkali in the blood and tissues. Losing Weight in order to lose weight, the number of calories or heat value of the diet muat be less than what an individual uses up in his daily activity. Thus a 1200 or 1500 calorie diet is often used, in planning the diet the physician will first determine the number of calorics the patient needs. Then he will select foods which furnish vitamins, minerals and proteins and prescribe them in a quantity which will furnish the necessary number of calories. In some Intances vitamin and mineral supplements may be utilised to make sure that a (deficiency does not occur. The overweight person can lw'*t reduce under the direction of physician. I have outlined sonif suggested diets and instruction* which may toe helpful in following the physician's advice, and I shall be glad to send this information to those who write in enclosing a large self-addressed, stamped envelope. with six cents in stamps. Names wiU not be used.

Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE I O— — O Q. Where should the candles be placed on the buffet supper table? A. Thfe depends upon whether single candlesticks or candelabra are used. An attractive decoration is to place a single candlestick at each of the four corners of the centerpiece of flowers. Q. In what way can a business man dispose of a tiresome caller?

CHAPTER THIKTY-FIVIB VAL WAS lying in her low, broad bed that was like a queen's bed. Her fair hair was drenched with perspiration, her face as white as the ivory-toned pillow. Her black lashes rested with an effect of ineffable heaviness on her cheeks. A sound like a sob broke in Wade's throat and the nurse herded them out disapprovingly. Sherry asked, her eyes on the doctor's face, "You’re quite sure she's all right now?" "Quite, You needn't worry any more." Sherry told Wade, “Then—Tm going. I'll come back in the morning." Wade thanked her for everything and helped her into her coat. He looked old and tired and sick. Sherry slipped away, leaving him with the doctor. Not until she bad reached the car downstairs, not until she had got in beside Lex and felt his shoulder comfortingly against hers did reaction from the nightmare hour, just past set in. Sherry sobbed, her face against the rough tweed of his coat, **She*a all right, Lex. She isn’t going to die." She was shaking as with a chill and Lex held her close, soothing and calming her. When some measure of composure had returned to her, riie leaned back against the seat and whispered, "I'm sorry to be such a baby. And you've been so swell, Lex. . . He said, "I’m going to take you home. You’re exhausted, poor kid." There was infinite tenderness in his voice. Before he had driven half a dozen blocks, she was sound asleep against his shoulder. She was still sleeping deeply when he brought the car to a stop in front of her apartment. Lex turned off the ignition, got out and went around I to the door beside Sherry. She slept on as he opened It and, lifting her easily, carried her across the sidewalk and inside. An old man, operating the elevator, asked agitatedly, "She hurt? What happened?" Lex shook his head. "Asleep. I didn't want to waken her." The operator eyed him suspiciously. “Well—it’s kind of queer. She's a mighty nice girl." “1 know," Lex grinned at him acraM Sherry's drooping head. "A mighty nice* girt. .. ." Sherry awakened as Lex shifted her weight a little in order to try the door of her apartment It was Just as well, because the door was locked. | She dung to him for a moment confused.

She did so and Lex followed her Inside. “I’m going right away,** be told her. “What you need is sleep —hours and hours of it" “I know. . . . And thanks." He leaned down and kissed her. tt was the second time he had kissed her, Sherry thought her drowsiness fleeing before her instant instinctive response to the touch of his lips on hers. That night on the bridge. And now. But this was a tender kiss, almost a brotherly kiss. With an effort she kept herself from putting her arms around his neck and bolding him to her. It was a kiss that meant nothing, except that he liked her and pitied her for the ordeal she had just been through. It was a kiss Kay couldn't take exception to. It was a kiss that left Sherry hungry and unsatisfied—and disgusted with herself for experiencing such unwarranted emotions. She said, “Good night, Lex.” His hand lay for a moment gently against her check. “Get some rest" He was gone then, and her heart went with him. Such a crazy, unmanageable, unreasonable heart. • • • It was two days before Sherry, alone with Vai for the first time since the night she had come so close to death, heard the reasons for what she bad tried to do. Reclining, pale and calm, on her chaise-longue, Vai told Sherry about Kevin Blake and all that had happened between them. Told her, too, of the nightmare hours that had followed her final parting from him. “I wanted to die," Vai said. "Tm no good, Sherry. I know that now. I’m rotten and selfish and a cheat —all the things Kevin said. What use is there for me to go on living, making Wade unhappy, being so unhappy myself—" Her low voice broke. She stared at her sister piteously. “But—l won’t have the courage to do—what I did—again." Sherry laid her hand gently on Vai’s hand that was so busy pleating and smoothing the folds of her satin negligee "What about Wade, Vai? Hava you told him all this?” Vai nodded. "Hadn't be the right to know? You don't put people through the sort of experience I put him through—and you, too—without offering some explanation.” “And—how did he take it?" “He was swell, really," Vai said"l told you once, Sherry, Wade is a complete realist I—l thought I was one, too—byt now I i® 1
