Weight Control by Galleries.

When any plan or formula for self
Improvement Is brought forward there
are always people who misunderstood
or take it too literally. Their minds
grasp only the outstanding features of
the new plan and overlook important
details. A good example of this tend
ency Is shown in reducing diets that
are based on caloric calculations. A
way has been worked out by which
one may find out just how many call
cries one should have each day for a
maintenance diet and then this
amount is decreased in order to bring
about q reduction in weight.
For example, suppose your correct
weight for age and height is 120
pounds but you actually weight $50
pounds. You lead a sedentary life
and have a good appetite. Your hips
are becoming too wide, your abdomen
is too large and there is an extra pad
Of fat beneth your chine. You decide
to reduce by dieting. BY multiplying
your ideal weight G20 pounds by
Is you obtain the number of calories
that are needed as a maintenance
diet, that is, 2,100 calories. You have
been taking more calories than this
and they have been stored as excess
fat. Your problem is to use up these
stored calorieS which are destroying
the beauty of your figure.
If you continue to take 2,100 cal
ories a day your weight will remain
the same, but if you take less food
the energy stored as fat in your body
will be drawn upon to make up the
amount you need as maintenance
diet. It is estimated that 1000 cal.
ories Is equal to four ounces of fat,
SO that If you subtract this amount
from the 2,100 you should lose four
ounces a day, or twenty-eight
ounces a week. This comes to a loss

In planning a reducing diet it is

Chicago, Nov. 2. ~ (AP) - IN

aged lower today in the early deal
ings. Definite word was at hand
that no damage had been done by
frost in Argentina. Starting Is to
IA "a IL cent down, wheat rallied

a shade off IA cent up, and later

increased pressure noted from Cam

overnight In wheat from North
America appeared to be at a halt.

at present are about IL cents higher
than a year ago, and that practically
all corn is now beyond danger from

Costly Machinery
For Snow Removal
Will Not Be Used

Expensive snow removal machin-
cry has been tabooed by the state
highway department here.
After asking for bids on such
equipment the highway commission
rejected all offers and adopted diff
ferent plan which it hopes will en-
able it to keep state roads open in
all weather.
The idea is to do all snow removal
work with equipment owned by the
various counties, the state paying
the operating cost of such machin.
cry while working on state high
ways.
The commission previously had
contemplated using light snow plows
attached to trucks, since this equip
ment could move faster than heavy
rotary snowplows, some Of which
were purchased last winter.
Bids submitted to the commission
showed that automobile trucks
equipped with rotary plows would
cost about $1,000 each while trucks
equipped with push plows would cost
between $4,000 and $4,000 each.

The present trial is based on Z
reindictment Of Tucker by the Crane
jury. The reindictment followed
the second calling together Of tn,
jury to hear additional evidence ant
to guard against possible technica
errors in the first indictment.
In ruling that his court had juris
diction in the case, Judge Wolfe de
clared that the second indictmen
