TOO TOO THIN?

TOO TOO THIN?
 The definition that is given in Web ster's Collegiate Dictionary of thin" is as follows: 1. Having little thick ness or extent from one surface to its opposite. 2. Rare; not dense or thick. 8. Not close, not crowded. 4. Not full or well grown. 5. Not stout; slim; slender; lean; gaunt 6. Want ing in body or volume; small; feeble; not full. z. Slender. f1insy; wanting sufficiency; superficial; inadequate.
 Don't you love to look up words ? Ther are so many unexpected things revealed.
 Three-fourths of our adult popuFa- tfon are overweight, one-fourth are underweight, the rest are normal I said this in a previous article. It Is an underhanded way of saying that there are no normals. Hasn't it been your experience that most of your friends are either trying to get thin or to get fat? Yes. In reality there are a few individuals who are just right. We have met them. But even they were not satisfied.
 Early In this game I told you that later I would talk a little to the un- der-weighters. And I think the time has come now, for we are getting nu- merous requests from the Ton Cas- siuses to fulfill our promise and begin broadcasting.
 In my book on weight regulation I have called the thin people who wanted to gain. ''Deluded Ones,' for couldn't get their point of view. how anyone could want to be any thing but thin being beyond my com prehension. But as I realized that there were such individuals I was constrained to give them advice. And I guaranteed they would realize their ambition of they followed it.
 Since writing that, I have heard of very many cases who have gained just as promised - some of them are even now trying to go into the reverse so I can vouch that my advice is worth while. I shall proceed to give you some on the same order. For though I should write a hundred years on gaining and losing, the basis would have to be the same-and the basis is a knowledge of diet, exercise, psychology and the applicat ton of them.

With adults, as with babies, while weight is not the only thing to go by to judge the physical condition, it is the most important single point. For with adults, as with babies, the main tenance of normal weight must pre- clude any serious disorder.
 The rule that I have given for find ing ones normal weight I shall repeat in case some of you have not seen it:
 Fule for Finding Ideal Net Adult
 Weight
 Multiply the number of inches over five feet in height, in stocking feet, by five and a half. Add 110. If you are under five feet in height, multiply the inches under five feet by five and one half and subtract from no. In other words, if you are five feet in height you are allowed no pounds. For every inch over or under you are all lowed five and one-half pounds more, or less, respectively.
 That does not mean that one can not vary five per cent. or so above or below and still not be normal. But it gives us a standard to go by. Our statistics show that under-weight in childhood, adolescence and young ma turity is a more grave condition than underweight after full maturity. There is a much lowered resistance in early years to tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. S1enderness is @ different thing from emaciation, it must be understood.
 Just as overweight tends to fatigue, lack of energy and lowered resistance, so does underweight. You should gain to normal weight. Any healthy animal can be fattened-aH farm CTS will tell you that. Now you are go- ing to be my animal and I am going to be your farmer and I shall fatten you just as any other farmer would fatten any other animal.
 Of course, I am presupposing that you are fairly organicaI1y sound though even if you're not we'll see what we can do-and that you are not chronfcally poisoning yourself with drugs like nicotine, also, too much tea or coffee, and so on.
 Inasmuch as I gave the F. F. F. three weeks article on how to re- duce, they cannot complain if I give you at least three days, can they?

 Dad Lees stilted and absurd letter left me in many minds and moods. I wasn't convinced that he and Dick West had got away on board a ship for parts unknown.
 The letter was written with the in tent to befuddle my wits And when I found that 1t was promptly accom- plishtng it's purpose and making me wild with Jealousy of the unknown Rosa Cordova burst into hysterical laughter at my own gu1libiHty. You don't have to swallow the bait-hook, line and sinkerl" I re- preached myself in the idiom of my youth Then I tore the letter into tiny bits. And as I ripped away ma ltciously at the sheets on which 1t was written I determined that no vestige of it should remain in my memory. This was easy enough-to VOW. But can I forget the ugly 1nnuendo con cerning Jim and the woman who is helping him?
 Certainly I can't afford to make d point of remembering it. for there are matters right in my own office which require my immediate attention. So after depositing the tiny scraps of Dad Lees letter in my waste basket, turned, with a business-Iike scowl, to the rest of the mornings mail There was a great pile of it, and as I had arrived long before nine Miss May hadn't been ahead of me to assort it and weed out the communications which she felt didn't require my per sonal attention.
 The first envelope I opened con- tained a bill. I glanced at it and put it aside to wait for next month and incoming funds to meet my obliga- tons, which are numerous enough without any new bills to add to the list. I seized another letter at ran dom. It also contained a bill. The third likewise announced that A l.. Harrison, advertising consultant, was someone's debtor.
 With a queer sinking of my heart I ran the envelopes hastily through my fingers. Were they all bills? Was the only personal communication the morning had brought me that unwel- come letter from Dick West via Dad Lee?
 Printers, typesetters. stattoners, neWspa pers-a1 the names which stared back at me from the upper left-hand envelope corners, were from services rendered.
 Good morning, Mrs. Harrison" |" greeted Miss Mays sptc and span. de- liberately cheerful voice from the doorway ''My-aren't we the early bird! And you know what they say about the early bird, so I suppose you've caught something fine. A new account for the officer"
 She ended with attempt to be debonair, bust1ing about as she spoke and hanging away her hat and prac- tical coat with an air of brisk efficien- ca which jared on my exposed nerves I actually caught myself on the verge of snapping at the kindly soul, who

WOMAN AND HER HOME

If all women realized how surely their homes reflected themselves there would not be an ugly house in the land. But most of us take our homes for granted. Our families have always furnished them in such a way that we keep the old furniture in the old places and never once stop to think whether it Is beautiful or not. We may have outgrown our surroundings. but the same old things remain just as they have always been. We are so used to them that we never see them any more.
 The only thing more disastrous than this Is to throw out the old things because they are old without stopping to think whether they are beautiful or not for many of the old pieces of furniture are beautiful thought some of them are ugly be- yond description.
 The beautiful woman shhouId live in beautiful house, her beauty de- mands a proper setting. But think how much more necessary it is for the woman who isn't beautiful to live in a house that will make up for her lack of loveHness. If she is in artis- tic surroundings she will seem beau tiful.
 I cannot definitely suggest how all this should accom- mplished. Each house has its own problem for each house wife to solve. I can only a:lg- gest that you surround yourself with good colors and gay patterns, for these have an important psychological effect both on you and your friends Do not let your home be dingy or
