HOW TO KEEP WELL

"If you are under thirty and a bit
too fat to please yourself, don't worry.
If you are over thirty-five and even
a few pounds too fat for your age and
height, don't worry, either. But set
right out to get rid of the extra
poundage.
This is the gist of bulletin issued
this week by the Minnesota State
Medical Association in answer to the
''stouts": Can I reduce and if SO is
it worthwhile and harmless for me
to do so?
"At the specified age of thirty
five it is most emphatically worthwhile.
In fact it's advisable says the bulletin.
ITO much weight after thirty-five is
regarded by the insurance companies
as shortening your life expectation.
They base their opinion on statistics,
not medical opinion. But the doctor
will tell you that excess weight COM
plicateS and makes serious most Of
the chronic diseases of age. Further
ment of some of them, diabetes for in
ment of ONE of them, diabetes for in
stance.
eff the excess weight is not due to
some special disease condition or to
some gland irregularity, moderate
exercise will generally do the trick"
An interesting recent study of six
hundred persons ON a reducing regime
Is cited by the association experts.
Seventy-five per cent of the six hum
bred succeeded in reducing to normal
weight merely by a modern intake of
of a carefully selected food diet, while
others were overweight because of some
disease condition. But five years later
the same group was studied and only
twenty-five per cent of those who
succeeded in reducing at the start had
maintained their reductions. Why?
Because they thought, once they
had reduced, they could go back to

to moisten the stain with water and

ceivable'

dressed the jury but that body. after
reconSlderlng the case, decided to stand
by the suicide verdict When the cor
oner declined to order another inquest.

with the District Commissioners.
Before doing so, however. he con-
ferred with DR.. Macdonald who, in the
absence Of DR.. Rogers, ordered the
second investigation.

whom were unable to appear at the
first inquiry, were expected to testify
today. and Tufts announced that new
evidence would be presented.
