Dear Miss Brooks:
There are several places that I CON
slider interesting and there are several
things / consider interesting, but |
think there is no place or thing as in
teresting and helpful as your little
corner, Between You and Me-" Per-
haps you hin me foolish to say this,
but l honestly mean 1t. 1 have been
reading your corner for a long time
and now that I have some questions
would like anQvVared fbnnUhf I uyou1d |
submit them to you as l am sure of
getting satisfactory answers. "a What
is a good and harmless way of reduc-
ing when you think you are over
weight? 1 am fifteen years old. CD
/ have a friend who is fourteen years
old and she would like to know how
tall she should be and how much she
should weigh. 1 told her 1 would ask
you. as 1 would be sure of getting a
correct answer. Thanking you very
much In advance and wishing you sue
cess in your work, 1 remain.
MAE FLOWER, Montpelier, Ida.
No, no not foolish. my dear. Far
be II from me to think so. How could
1 doubt your sincerity7 And 1 hope
every one who submits their questions
and problems to me has the same
confidence which you express, in that
they believe the effort to give a cor
rect and satisfactory answer is con-
scientiously performed. 1t is a great
privilege to be of service to each
of you. % Diet and exercise is the
best method of reducing, because It is
a perfectly natural and normal meth
cd. If you are not much overweight,
perhaps all that would be necessary I
would be for you to eliminate, in a
amount. fat. starches and
sweets from your diet and substitute
more green and cooked vegetables and
fruits. All sorts of out
door exercises and sports which are
and possible, should be in
dulged in. Lacking plenty of these I
1t is a splendid idea to form the habit I
Of doing some exercise each morning
upon rising, such as the following:
Stand erect with heels together, bend Z
forward from waist and touch floor I
with finger tips. Also the ~sitting-up $
exercise which consists of placing g
hands on hips, lower body to %squatting !
and rise to standing position. s
