Rock Bottom
My dear DR.. Peters:

My dear DR.. Peters:
For over week, on the same
Scales, have not reduced any al
though L have not eaten over 1850
calor1es a day. Is there such a stage
IN reducing as rock bottom? 1 have
lost eight pounds in just three weeks
ana am now 100 pounds. For my
helght that is not overweight Does
that make reduction harder? 1 want
ed to reduce to 125 pounds but 1t
seems 1mpOssible.-D. c. H"
II you are normal weight, why do
you want to lose any more? At your
age underweight Is no more desirable
than overweight. About that rock
bottom businss-yes, in many cases
the metabolic activities of the body
seem to accustom themselves to the
lowered intake and in order to reduce
further such individuals have to go on
very low calorie days once a week or
so on that day they will lose a pound
or over. That gives the system an
other little jolt and it realizes you
want to reduce. The weight of these
individuals then would go down like
stairs instead of an incline. In your
case, however, 1 wouldn't advise a
further reduction.

will you kindly mention in your
Diet and Health whether your direc-

or for one who does all of her own
housework as well? I am only about
IL pounds overweight but I will follow
your directions to the letter because
I have been threatened with some of
the effects you have mentioned-Mrs
B."
If you are overweight, no matter
how much work you are doing you
have evidence that your work is not
using all of the food you are eating,
so you undoubtedly could follow my
directions to advantage. You would
not need to go on so low a diet as
though you Were not doing your own
housework, however. You might
start out on the 1900 caIories and if
you find you reduce too rapidly, go

TEACHER CLAIMS
he SAW SOLDIER
SLAIN BY SQUAD
Witnesses at Watson Hear
ing State They Witnessed
Three Public Executions
at Is-Sur-TiIIe.
tBy The Associated ptess,)

Washington, Jan. l9.-Gcorge
washington Yarbrough, high
school teacher of Roanoke, 2Ala.,
and rated as the welterweight
champion of the a. f. F., told the
senate investigating committee to-
day that he had witnessed the
shooting of an American soldier by
a firing sqtad near the Chateau
Thierry region in July, 1918.
Regarded by the committee as
probably the most clear headed
of all the former service mon tes-
tifying concerning the alleged
hanging OF soldiers without trial,
Yarbrough, himself n reluctant
witness, declared the sight Of the
man being led to his death, with
hands tied behind his back, made
him forget for the moment the
screeching of enemy shells flying
overhead The witness said he was
close enough when the officer COM
manding the squad gave the order
to fire, to hear the soldier, barely
20 years old, plead to be permitted
to die with his eyes unbound.
Members or the committee and
Col Walter A. Bethel, assistant
Judge advocate general of the
army, listened closely to the recital,
for evidence from war department
sources heretofore presented failed
to show where men had met death
that way. Yarbrough was pressed
by Colonel Bethel, who declared
himself not to be attempting to
break down the witness story, but
seeking to obtain some data which
might enable him TO check up on
the shooting. The witness ex-
planned that he could not give the
names of the men with him at the
time, because they were not at
tached to his outfit,
There had been camp reports,
the witness said, that the soldier
was shot for neglect of duty in
battle. Asked by Chairman Bran
degee If the shooting led him to
believe there had been abuse of
power, Yarbrough replied:
Nothing whatever" as he as
sumed that the officer handling
the squad was carrying out orders
But he thought then and now, he
added that if the army had de-
tailed a squad to shoot a comrade
it might have detailed another
squad to pick up the body and bury
it.
Much testimony relating to al
legged abuse of enlisted men
cropped out again today along
with further reference to lizard
pOiledr Smith. Two former service
men testified they had seen three
public executions at Is-Sur-Tille,
at which station war department
records show only two men were
hanged.
The hearing was adjourned unit
next Wednesday.
