‘Magical’ diet of moderation

“Starting Tomorrow", you announce, reaching for another piece of chocolate cake. “I'm going on a diet." Do these words sound familiar'' There are probably as many reducing schemes as people going on them , there’s the body wrap, the grapefruit diet with its magical property of “dissolving” body fat. there's the banana diet, the zen macrobiotic or brown rice diet, the ice cream diet and so «v The Better Business Bureau cautions that these regimens can often lose the dieter nothing but money. “Fad" diets all have something in common and it’s not magic: it's monotony. Fortunately, consumers who go on these diets soon go off them. They are severely unbalanced because of vitamin and iron deficiencies and can seriously endanger health. “High Calorie” Diet Dangers One type of particularly dangerous diet that has been popular in recent years is the high protein, high fat, no carbohydrate diet. These diets promise you unlimited amounts of high protein foods, such as meat, eggs and cheese Beware, however, they warn, of carbohydrates. be they breads, fruits or vegetables Again. the dieters “miraculously" lose weight in this deliberately unbalanced diet, not because of what a person eats, but because he or she will eat less This is because of an abnormal body response called “ketosisKetones are manufactured routinely as part of the body's metabolic process, but in this diet, they suddenly flood the system. In doing so, they suppress appetite. But at what cost' “Magical" Diet of Moderation Not only can this type of diet dramatically increase the cholesterol level in one week, but according to the American Medical Association, it can cause side effects of extreme fatigue, nausea, headaches, constipation or diarrhea and kidney problems, as well as possible brain damage to unborn children Is it worth it? Apparently, many obese people think so. In

what one Nutrition expert labels our “Age |of Caloric Anxiety,” millions ij>f dollars are spent annually jan reducing schemes. Diet books are bought by the millions Annually. Consumers pore throjugh “wrap, soak and squeeze "lads for body wrapping kits, before and after pictures for weight rjeducing candies and consider taking pills, shots and hormones, even surgical procedures like wiring the jaw shut { One j technique called "staplepijincture" operates on the theory that there are ‘‘‘obesity nerve ei> lings” in the ear. When the patient is hungry, he or she should w tggle the clips in the ear to dispe| the hunger sensation. The patiient. by the way, whose caloric j intake is severely restricted under this regimen, experiences a severe protein loss, as well as possibly an ear infection. The "jstaplepuncture" scheme is a bit more bizarre than njiost, but the Better Business Bureau warns all to be cautious about any “quick reducing” schemes Body wrapping devices, for example, in addition to being ineffective for weight reduction, may cause injury to anyone suffering from diabettfs, varicose veins, phlebitis or other circulatory problems. The Federal Trade Commission has issued consent orders! against several companies for false advertising of these devices. Use Common Sense Proper reducing isj neither quick nior easy; it takes time. It doesn t mean a switch to eating seaweed and llama liver. It means a sensible change from more calories to fewer calories Befoife going on a diet a person should first see a physician to determine the kind of diet and the amount of exercise that is right fir him or her The Better Business Bureau prescribes common sense for losing weight and not just losing money. So, reach (for low calorie foods, not chocolate cake. The new diet is caUedjrmoderation" and it does work. (Start today!

Oppenh eim — (Continued from page 1) propose a giant plan of delegislation to rid our land of the federal legal pollution in which it abounds, starting first with the most onerous laws and working as rapidly as possible toward this delegislation process allowing states to step in where necessary and assume the function." Oppenhein stated. The 50-year-old Oppenheim has operated the 100-year-old Oppenheim‘s Department store since 1950 as sole owner. He has also been active in the land development business for the past 15 years. He is a 1948 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a degree in business administration. He served in the navy during World War 11. Oppenheim. a Republican, has never before sought political office, but feels that the overwhelming pressures of the bureaucracy, governmental regulation and just plain big federal government will no longer allow the thinking individual to stand idly aside. He feels that every American has a stake in business, the goose that lays the golden egg. and that every American, be he a merchant. professional, fanner or factory worker is a business man in fact.

Women's roles in revolution Wives, sweethearts anu even prostitutes accompanied the British and American armies in varying numbers during the Revolutionary War. The women generally helped with the cooking, washing and mending. Officially. the British Army had four women for every 100 men, but frequently there were more on both sides.

'Little Ice Age'

During the American Revolution. British soldiers slid their guns across the ice from Manhattan to Staten Island. The world was in the grip of a “Little Ice Age” which may be returning Though it may be many decades before the Statue of Liberty puts on ice skates, something strange is happening to world weather patterns. And to the air we breathe The Gulf Stream is drifting south. The gap between temperatures at the poles and at the equator is becoming even more extreme. Air masses at the poles are dominating the direction of the wind for longer periods every summer. For the first time in this century. says Changing Times, chunks of ice have been blocking ships sailing off Iceland. Photo 6 from orbiting satellites show the Arctic ice pads expanding a smashing 15 per cent in only two years, from 1970 to 1972. The 20th century so far, say

Bathroom space savers WEST LAFAYETTE — Remodeling an existing bathroom or building an addition that includes a bathroom is second only to kitchen construction in terms of expense One has learned that if they have looked at plans lately, says Mrs. Sandra Shank, extension housing and design specialist at Purdue university. Perhaps being a two-bathroom family isn’t feasible because of space or budget limitations. So that one bathroom can more comfortably serve the entire family, consider some alternatives that will provide better layout or additional space. To make the best use of a bathroom with heavy traffic patterns, compartmenting is an excellent solution, offers Mrs Shank. The room is divided with each of the main fixtures separated or with toilet and tub or stall shower partitioned off from the washbasin area. The advantage is that more than one person can use the bathroom and yet have privacy. If space is at a premium, make use of space savers. Use pocket doors that slide into the wall to make partitions. A pocket door is also handy to make an entrance from the bathroom to an adjoining bedroom. Other space savers include tubs of shorter than standard size or a different shape, circular shower stalls, cabinets and shelves built into the hollow wall space, tiered and swinging arm towel racks and rings, vanity lavatories in many sizes or custom built with countertop and underneath storage. Include two lavatories if the family members often use them at the same time. Add good lighting — overhead and from the sides of mirrors — for shadow-free grooming. Put in adequate outlets for electric grooming aids, a fan to reduce moisture buildup and to keep air fresh People may want to add a bathroom heater if the rest of the house is kept at 68 degrees Before plunging ahead with that remodeling or building program, think about all the possibilities to make cleanliness easy, pleasant, and unhurried by others needing to use the same facilities.

some climatologists, may have been a balmy interlude between Little Ice Ages. At the turn of the century, the weather warmed up for a few decades. Alpine glaciers melted and moved back more than a mile. But around 1945. temperatures began a drop; the glaciers stopped shrinking. Oddly enough, in this country recent weather fluctuations have resulted in colder winters in the west with milder ones in the east. Global cooling is a cause for concern, says Dr. Reid Bryson, director of the Institute of Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin It is, he says, an early warning auguring the return of poor and unpredictable weather with crop failure and mass starvation for parts of the planet. The lung association — the “Christmas Seal” people — is no weather station. But they have lots of information about the air we breathe and the lung diseases we develop It's a Matter of Life and Breath.

Small business is the heart of America's economic strength. As big business and big government interfere with the free enterprise system, small businesses are hurt and the functioning of our whole economy is undermined Recent studies have shown that what is big is not necessarily better in the business world. Yet the trend toward what some people call economic giantism continues. Research at one major university indicates, for example, that small family farms are the “most effective for productivity in agriculture.” Despite this, the number of farms in the United States has declined steadily in the past 40 years, while the average farm size increased about 80 per cent. That means more large, corporate-run farms are entering the agricultural market, thus limiting competition and drastically changing our rual way of life. Ail sorts of businesses fall prey to economic giantism. A 1967 study showed that more than half of all companies with assets between $lO million and $25 million disappeared through merger that year. That’s tragic, for businesses in that asset range and smaller represent a growth band in our economy, generating more jobs and greater economic activity than their bigger brothers. Why is this happening? What can be done to keep small business alive? Government policies for too long have benefited big business far more than small business or average working people. Huge corporations pay far less than their fair share of taxes. They can afford to spend money on high-pressure lobbyists who influence government policies to be even more favorable toward

The night after quitting

‘Twas the night after quitting. And all through the house. Not a creature was quiet Not even a mouse. My nerv es were all hung And jangling in air. In hopes that some nicotine Soot would be there 1 nestled the children All snug in their bed While visions of cigarettes Danced in my head. John, with his fruit juice And I with my gum. Had just settled down For an evening of glum. When there on the TV screen, We both viewed a man With a smile — and a cigarette Lit in his hand More rapid than eagles The want for a smoke Came tearing upon me To torment and provoke. Away to the kitchen I flew like a flash. I opened the door To get to the trash. Then, in a twinkling

corporate giants. Plus, big business gives big government its top bureaucrats. It's no wonder that the administration's energy policy benefits big oil companies, for most of the policy-makers in the Federal Energy Administration worked for big oil eonVparues before coming to the government. It's not surprising that government farm programs benefit big corporate farms rather than small family operations, for many top USDA personnel came from food industry giants. We need new laws to stop this ‘ revolving door" which confuses what's good for the people with what’s good for special interest groups and giant corporations. We need to rewrite the tax laws to make taxes f£p*r for average people and not full of loopholes and shelters for big business. We need special help for small farms and small businesses to enable them to compete fairly with the bigger, more powerful firms. We must rewrite federal estate tax law r s to keep small businesses and farms in the family. We must do all we can to help the average working person and the small business firm withstand the pressure of economic giantism Break-in is reported at OK Sales A break-in was reported to Syracuse police on Tuesday at OK Sales located on Indiana 13 at the south edge of tow’n. Entry was gamed through a door of the business and an undetermined amount of tools taken. •

I remembered the call; “I choose Not to Smoke” Not to smoke at all. I shook with the cramps Till I felt 1 could choke While my mind kept repeating, “I choose Not to Smoke." 1 knotted my fists And hit at the wall. Now. dash-away. dash-away, Dash-away all. Laying my hands on the top Os the pack. And giving a nod, I went to attack. I went to the window And gave them dismissal, Away they all flew Like the down on a thistle. 1 heard in my ears. As they flew out ol sight. Happy V-Day’ to you. And to all — good night. Now the battle was hard, 1 was tom up and sore; But today I can truly say, I don't smoke any more. Thank God.
