What actually happens in
pounds and ounces on dietary
treatment for overweight is
shown in the statistics of a
clinic for such persons. It is
worth noting that it was an
ambulatory clinic. That means
the patients lived at home,
calculated, or at least pre-
pared their meals there. This
is important. The best results
in the treatment of overweight
are obtained by putting the
patient in hospital or instiu-
tion, especially adapted to
nutrition treatments. But this
clinic proves that weight can
be reduced by home treatment.
Dangers of Obesity
The patient is kept on the
treatment by repeated explana-
tionS of the dangers of obesity.

This meant moving in" and
sooner than he'd expected.
Hank glanced sharply in the
mirror above the driver.
Another taxi was following
him.
"shake the guy following u.s."
he instructed the driver. The
man, with a nod. suddenly
turned the car into a narrow
alley. Then he snapped out
the cars lights.
The other taxi roared by.
In it, as Hank had suspected,
was Carl.
Carps car whirled around the
corner, picked up the trail of
another taxi and went on.
Hanks car emerged from the
alley. Ahead, they could still
see the red tail light of the
Franks machine.
"Stick. on their tall" in
structed the reporter.
"Joe Colimo," Franks in
structed his men, as the car
hurried toward Finkeps, "1s
dangerous as hell. He's a fine
looking guy, a swell dresser
and highbrow. Plays Wop
opera on the piano. Dresses
like a movie actor. Reads poetry.
Writes it, too. But that don't
mean he wouldn't have a guy
bumped off as soon as look at
him."
He may be tough but he's
got one weak spot-his kid
brother, Ivan" supplemented
the Gouger. "He sent the Kid
to college, and won't let him
mix up in the racket. Some
day that soft spot will trip
him up"
The car drew to the curb,
with a squeal of brakes.
They faced the doorway Of a
dingy resort, windows shut
tered and dark to the street.
Dirt hung thick on its walls.
Here was THE Mousetrap," the
speakeasy of "Mousetrap"
Finkel.
Franks looked around quickly.
Bunch up as we go in," he
ordered. Don't do nothing
until I give you the eye. But

the development of hernia after

pedic abnormalities of the feet

The treatment of the clinic
consisted of diet, exercise and in
a few cases, the use of thyroid
extract. The daily food allow
ance was 100 grams of carbohy-
drate, 10 Of protein and so of
fat.
Walk Two Miles Daily
The exercise advised was daily
walking two miles in Is minutes
or less. and calisthenics lasting
10 minutes morning and night.

found to be an efficient substi-
tute for systematic exercises.
Under this routine 1873 pa

There was no weight loss in

Franks, waiting at the door,
interrupted.

night" he shouted. Scorpio
shifted his scowl to a grin and
ambled after the boss.
A pulsating car waited at the
curb. without words, the men
jumped in. The driver already
had his instructions. The car
quickly pulled away toward the
river street and the drawbridge
to the city.
Across the street, a taxi
darted out of the shadows.
Taking up the trail, it followed
the gangsters' car at safe dis
tance. In 1t rode Hank, the
reporter.
Hank had not honored Centro
with his presence for quite a
time, but lately rumors around
police headquarters in the city
had claimed his attention.
Big Trouble Ahead
"This Franks gang is getting
pretty big-too big for the
town of Centro," he had in
formed Meadows, his city editor.
They've already changed Gen.
tro from a nice home town to
a. sort of Barbary Coast. If they
ever start coming in here
there'll be a mixup with Joe
Colimo's gang that will shake
the town."
The city editor nodded-and
suggested that Hank keep an
eye on Centro for a few days.
Over in the Star office, Carl
was telling his city editor pretty
much the same thing. And
with the same result.
Neither city editor knew about
the pretty girl at the Franks
cigar counter.
Of the two reporters, Carl
seemed to be the more conf
Dental with Johnny Franks.
Hank rather worried over that.
He didn't like the looks of the
growing gang, and hoped his
friend wouldn't get in too

Hank was meditating on that

He started in surprise, as the

Peaches saw in her an active

face. But her plans were pro-

When Franks and his men

warmly. He pushed by, alb
stractedly. Scorpio stopped.

It is no longer considered

Two things that are never
permitted to "age," in these
days, are a woman's figure
and bootleg liquor.

you wake yourself up by plung-

A man will spend hours and
lie awake nights planning to
tell a woman that "all Is over"

positively piqued when she
cheerfully agrees with him.
The hand that rocks the
cradle no longer rules the

it's hired hand from Sweden

At 20 a girl likes to show
how sophisticated she is by
ordering the most expensive
French dishes on the dinner
card: at 80 she knows enough
to show how companlonable
and considerate she Is, by or
dering a nice rare steak and
fried potatoes.
Many a man congratulates
himself on being a prize diplo'

diplomatic to let him know
that she has found him out.
