Science Helps Short
Men Grow Tall
Dietetic Research Shows Rela-
ton of Food to Growth

While science has found no def
mite solution to the old problem Of
increasing human stature, it can
offer a number of concrete sugges-
tons to help young men get the full
value out of whatever growth i'm
pulse is in theme At least this Is
the conclusion drawn by Milo Hast
ings, Director of the Food Research
Laboratory Of Physical Culture
Magazine.
"The growth impulse" says Mr..
Hastings, ''is born into us and runs
course that is pretty much be-
yond our control. We read reports
Of young men who have doubled
their muscular strength (by exercise
rather than diet), and Of people who
have gained fifty pounds of weight
or have lost one hundred and fifty
pounds of fat. 1t doesn't, therefore,
seem unreasonable that there should
be some diet that would add the
necessary two or three inches that
will change a man from noticeably
short man to one whose size is &C
copied without notice. To change
muscle size and strength, however.
one needs only to fill out or expand
the diameter of the muscles"
Adding stature is another matter.
It is nevertheless true, Mr.. Hastings
observes, that selection of the right
growth foods, and the faithful
performance Of bodybuilding exer-
cises, will materially assist Nature
in it's efforts to make the most out
of the material at it's disposal.
In an absorbing article entitled
@Food to Make You Grow Taller"
appearing in the August issue of
Physical Culture, Mr. Hastings
offers many helpful suggestions to
people who wish to increase their
height. The little man does not
look impressive. He may become a
great thinker or executive, but in
courtship and craftsmanship he suf-
fers a distinct handicap. Such men
will be especially impressed by Mr..
Hastings article.

PRIZE WINNING MOTHER, ONCE
AN INVALID, REVEALS SIMPLE
RULES FOR STURDY HEALTH
Scores All Drugs AS Useless
Says Common Sense Methods
Will Work Miracles For
Mothers Everywhere

To rise from mi-inyalidism to
"healthiest mother" is an honor few
women may attain. But that is ex-
actly what happened to Mrs. Roger
H. Meyers when she was awarded
the first prize of $4,000 recently
aired by Health Commissioner
THsrris, of New York City, for the
healthiest mother.
The fact that Mrs. Meyers car
ried off the prize in a competition
which had enrolled thousands of
other mothers is more significant in
view of the discouraging physical
battle she was compelled to fight
for many years before she found
health and happiness.
Mrs. Meyers was so sickly as a
child that her own mother doubted
if she would survive to grow into
womanhood. And when finally she
married, the first five years were
such weary, dyspeptic, aching ones.
that she often wondered how she
would drag through the long day.
Speaking of the great honor so
recently won: For several min
utes," she says, 81 sat there amidst
the applause completely overcome
by the wonder of it all. Then I felt
myself rising.
"I am proud to have been found
the healthiest MOTHER I said, I'd
rather be the healthiest mother than
the richest mother or the most dis
tinguished mother. For after all, I
know what it means to be the sick
lest mother
Suddenly Mrs. Meyers found her
self besieged with questions. What
had she done to be so healthy? How
did she exercise? What did she
eat? And so on and so on.
Mrs. Meyers method was so sim
pie that she decided to write her
story. Drugs, she says, are useless,
but common-sens methods will
work miracles for mothers every
here. Her story, How I Became
he Healthiest Mother, appears in
August Physical Culture Magazine.

Where Medical

How a prominent business man

come to light through the insistence
of his friends that he giye the world
the benefit of his experience.
This man, who prefers to conceal
his identity behind the initials
A. Nc. NJ, had been wont to con-
graduate himself on his perfect
health. To this fact he attributed
his success in business. What he
failed to realize was that to have
health is not enough. OF vastly
more Importance was to keep his
health when he had it. 1t never oc-
Cured to him that if he neglected
his body, his mind was bound to
suffer-so that when the business
crash came, he forgot everything
else but his desperate need to save
as much out of the wreckage as he
could.
AS result, he worked frantically
day and night. He had no time for
exercise" He smoked necessarily,
ate anythingSo or nothing as was con-
Venient for him. His nerves devel-

Indigestion, severe headaches, dizzy
spells followed. Soon he was a

Sex Education
of Youth

That sex education is a desirable
and effective means Of approaching
the present-day problems of YOUTH
is the assertion made by DR.. Hugh
S. Cummings. United States Surgeon
General in his recent health bulle-
tin.
"Present-day dissatisfaction with
the behavior of the younger genera
ton and reflection of unhealthful
mental attitudes on the part of
children and parents bear testimony
to the necessity for an honest step
toward rational sex education, said
DR.. Cummings.
This enlightened attitude by q
prominent public official on a ques-
ton that has long been generally
regarded as taboo, has furnished
Bernarr Macfadden with the in
spiration and the theme for pow-
Arful editorial in August Physical
Culture Magazine.
In his characteristic manner. Mr..
Macfadden handles this delicate
subject of sex education energeti-
cally, fearlessly and without gloves.
He points out the mighty evil that
has been wrought, and the untold
misery that has been suffered by
mankind through the ignorance,
prejudice, and prurient prudery that
have locked the lips and stifled the
best impulses of our parents and
educators for generations past. He
then suggests a vigorous and pro-
gressive program as a means of cor
recting an all-too- general attitude
on x-education-an attitude that
is as foolish and dangerous as it is
intolerable.

"There is no excuse for Weaklirgs.

This is the startling declaration
Ihich Bernarr Macfadden, world
famous physical culture expert,
makes in the August issue of Physi-
cal Culture Magazine.
The value of exercise as a means
Of attaining physical and mental
vigor and health is accepted by
everyone. But, as Mr.. Macfadden re-
Sainds Us. the question will often
arise as to what kind of exercise to
take, what particular muscular ac-
Slvity is needed to insure the great
est rewards.
THE answer to this" says Mr..
Macfadden, depends largely upon
ones habits of life and upon ones
sndivldual requirements. A very
pertinentA question, therefore, is:
!, What do you wish exercise to &C
Complish for you?
Are you suffering from an all
.ment which you expect exercise to
help you to remedy? Are you suf-
fering from lowered vitality? Do
you lack pep and power? Do you
tire easily? Have you various phys
Zeal defects which you would like
30 remedy?-Or, do you think you
are not a complete man or splendid
woman? And are you desirous of
building up your physical status?
The answer to any one or all Of
these questions will, to a certain
extent, assist you in making a
proper selection.
ut is desirable, first of all, to get
away from the impression acquired
by some people that there are Sc
cret systems or methods of building
vitality and muscular vigor that
cannot be secured except by the
initiated"

PSYCHOLOGISTS maintain that the

capacity ten times.
How much money are you making, dear
reader? Are you getting the tull quota
that belongs to you? Or have you been
satisfied with the ten or twenty per cent
that Mr.. Average Man obtains?
Money is the prize that comes with

Every young man-and young woman

But as time goes on he weakens; enthusiasm
abates; ambitions are forgotten; life be-

Men of this sort lose their determination,
their courage falters. Women lose their
good looks; their power to lure and
fascinate.

VITAL issues
IN CARSON Case
TO Be ARGUED

TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 13H0-Argu-
ments vital to the outcome of the
patent and royalty suit brought by
the Carson Investment company, of
San Francisco, against the Phelps
Dodge corporation will be heard here
tomorrow by District Judge William
n. Sawtelle of the United States
court Millions of dollars in royalties
are at issue.
On the ground of alleged "privity"
Charles S. Wheeler, chief of counsel
Tor the investment company, contends
that q decree in favor of his client
and against the American Smelling
and Refining company, handed down
more than year ago by the circuit
court of appeals at San Francisco in
q kindred case, is also binding on the
Phelps Dodge corporation.
The theory of privity is that when
a judgment is rendered by the court
against one party to a suit, any other
party so identified with the defendant
litigation is bound or Concluded" by
the Judgment to the same extent
as if named in the action. To estab
lish such relationship it is necessary
to prove not only financial contribu-
tions to the conduct of the case, but
also knowledge of the facts while
litigation was in progress.
Such relationship to the American
Smelling and Refining company on
the part of the Phelps Dodge cor
poration is what the Carson Invest
ment company seeks to establish.
Phelps Dodge, it is contended, not
only contributed to the costs of the
smelling company's losing defense
against Carson and his investment
company, but actually joined in the
litigation as an interested party.
I'm answer, Phelps Dodge admit that
they helped defray the costs of the
previous trial but deny that they had
any part in the litigation.
The Calumet and Arizona Mining
company is joint defendant in the
present case with Phelps Dodge, but
is not concerned in the immediate
question OF privity.
