QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Fattening Foods; Exercise

S. r. O. writes: 81. For my age and
height go years and feet 8 Ia
inches) !. am IA pounds overweight. Am
dangerously overweight? This weight
has not increased in the past year. Am
overweight enough to shorten life If
there is no further increase? 2. OF
the following foods, which are fattening
and which are not: cheese (mild), tur-
nips, boiled and fried onions, asparagus,
beets, string beans, shelled or kidney
beans, baked beans, peas, lima beans,
brown bread, graham bread, white
bread boiled, oaked or fried fish, clam
and fish eh0wders, oyster stew, vege-
tahleSsaupy beef stew or SOUP? 8. Il
skinned MiIk fattening and does it con-
tain as much nourishment as whole
milk, which is fattening? / can drink
whole milk by the quart. 4. Are the
various kinds of breakfast cocoas fat
tening? drink cocoa twice day the
year round. never drink tea or cof-
fee. 5. walk on an average of 10
miles a week, which / know Is more
than the majority of working men do.
Is this exercise enough for me, consid-
ering my age and amount of over
weight? If walk too much in the
day / don't sleep so well at night, and
/ only average four or five hours a
night, anyway
Answer. The patient is. not dan
gerously overweight: certainly not
enough to shorten life if there is no
further increase. -
2. The question of fat does not de.
pend on the kind of food so much as
it does the amount taken. Sugars, pas
tries containing sugar, bread, potatoes,
butter and cream are the most likely to
produce fat; and none, at least in the
ordinary quantities taken, need be con-
sidered seriously.
3. Skinned milk has the fat re-
moved and therefore does not contain
as much nourishment as whole milk.
4. Breakfast cocoas are not fatten-
ing, except for the cream and sugar
that are put in them.
3. The question of exercise for a
man of the age of the patient is always
interesting, because what is good,
healthy exercise for one man is too
much or too little for the, next. This
can only be decided by the individually
reaction. Since the patient does not
sleep if there is too much walking,
there is nothing gained by increasing
or diminishing exercise.

Teething And Bowel Trouble

B. o. NJ. asks: What effect does
the eruption of the temporary teeth
have on bowel trouble?"
Answer-The cutting of teeth has
long been blamed for many of the dis
turbances Of infancy. The great ma
lority of normal, healthy infants have
no symptoms. There may be restless
ness, increased amount of saliva and
loss of appetite with a slight rise of
temperature Il or 2 degrees.) The
bowels may be constipated. associated
with the decreased food intake, or there
may be slight diarrhea.
The result of an improper diet is oft
en- noticeable at this time. Infants suf-
fcring from nutritional disturbances are
more liable to show symptoms and these
of greater severity. In all cases
where symptoms develop, other, causes
than cutting of, teeth should be- looked
for and will often be found,

EDITOR TAYLOR MAKING A PARTY

This week the national convention of the Farmer
Labor party is in session at st. Paul and Charles E. Tay-
lor, Sheridan, county's f%avorite son, often dubbed "Red
Flag Taylor" is in his element as chairman. The early
stories of the convention indicate that the communist ele-
ment is in control Cheers, it is said, greet every mention
of a third party and jeers the name of Robert LaFollette,
who warned against the admission of the socialistic ele-
ment into the convention. Mr.. Taylor's speech in accep-
ting the craftsmanship Of the convention, contains choice
bits Of his well-knoWn creed, which are Of special local
interest since one of Mr.. Taylor's papers, the Roosevelt
County Independent has several times declared its in
tentiOn of moving to this city if the county seat comes here.
After paying his respects to the Republican convention
held recently at Cleveland, and referring to certain Of the
delegates as Representatives of the burglars who stole
MILLIONS from the people, while our boys were making
the world safe for democracy" and "the arch b~ootleggeT
of the age" MI. Taylor referred to the Democrats, as "the
other party of international and industrial organization,
who will meet in the very citadel Of international cap
italism."
Il would rather SIT" said Taylor, with the reddest
communist in the world than sit with the aggregation
that met the other day at Cleveland or who will meet at
New York"
Taylor is hard to suit. Some of the officials of his
own county and of his own electing do not suit him, the
Republicans do not suit him; the Democrats do not suit
him, even honest, sincere Bob LaFollette does not suit
So he is making q party just to his liking, and it
promises to be tinged with Red.

Pershing-Benrud neighborhood are
greatly pleased with the success of
the opening dance held last Saturday

About PTS people attended from all
over the North country and from

dressing room, a ~gentlemen's smoking
room and a vestibule. These addi-

says Vida farmers have increased
their corn acreage 100 per cent this
year and expect to have some good

ounces that at a meeting of the de-
pository board, held June 10, 1924,
