Old Margaret, the nurse, always says
SNOW my little man, eat your dinner

yourself now?"
And that is a most wise way of
putting things to all small children,
and some larger ones. When one says

NV dear girl, it isn't what you don't
eat that makes you fat. Your list Of
what you don't eat could be much

enough of the foods that you do eat, to

Fat is caused by overheating for the
needs. You must either increase your
needs by increasing your exercise and
physical activities, or else you have to
decrease your food intake. The only
way you will ever know just how much
you are eating is to learn the caloric
values of all foods. Then you must
limit your Galleries to the number which
will reduce you.
No, M, fat is not inherited, nor ii
excess fat natural. I repeat: it comes
simply from overeating for the needs

Preventing Shipment of

American business interests IN Mexico
have begun tc feel the pinch Of the
revolution and have called upon the
State Department to ask the Mexican
government to loosen up on the strict
embargo which has prevented ship
ments of urgently needed supplies.
The Mexican authorities already have
deferred to representations made by
Ambassador Morrow and have per-
mitted some shipments to come through
at Naco, for the Cananea mines. and
the Portes Gil government has indicat-
ed that because 1t regards the revolu-
tionary situation less serious 1t hopes
to regulate shipments in such way as
to work a minimum of hardship upon
the civilian population.
Imports Of coal and explosives are
needed by American mining interests.
In the states of Sonora and Chihuahua
there is considerable amount ,of
perishable vegetables intended for
American consumption and the Mexican
government has begun to permit a pas
sage of these under the guarantee that
the money derived from their sale will
remain in the United States and thus
insure that 1t will not fall into the
hands Of the rebels to be used in fur
thering their activities.
Forced to CurtaiI Activities.
Throughout Mexico there are vast
American mining. oil and other inter-
ests, estimated by American Govern
ment officials to be worth approximate
ly $4,000 900, 900. Many of these have
been forced to curtail their activities.
1t is held that unless supplies from the
United States can be obtained the
plants might have to cease operations
entirely, with resultant loss to Amer
lean investors.
The State Department has been in
formed that Ambassador Morrow has
sent Edward Lowry, a secretary OF the
American embassy at Mexico City, To
