Fat-Reducing Cures
Called Dangerous
By u. S. Expert

Most of the advertised fat
reducers" are dangerous, and
may cause serious permanent
injury to their users. according
to DR.. F.. j. Cullen. chief of
drug control, United States
Food and Drug Administration.
Cures" for obesity usually
contain thyroid extract or laXa-
tiveS, or both. says DR.. Cullen,
in advising that using either is
risky, except under guidance of
a physician.
Thyroid extract, he states, is
a dangerous drug" while laxa-
tfveS may cause loss in weight,
but only through destroying
the digestive and assimilative

would be rather difficult for him to claim the credit personally, but he has carefully refrained from correcting, or even deprecating the declarations of his cheer leaders and is apparently quite content to accept the full credit for some- thing he was quite powerless to effect without the help of the dem ocrats. for which he begged.
 Naturally the democratic reply Is that If his was the wisdom to con- ceive these remedies. why he did not put at least some of them into effect when he and his party had absolute control of both houses of the national legislature? If these measures to stop bank failure are valuable now, how much more valuable they would have been be- fore hundreds of banks had to close their doors for lack of the stimulant credit which has been made possibly by what amounts to a democratic congress.
 This being a political year 1t Is too much to expect that the valid- fly of the democratic argument should be accepted, so we may look forward to a period of eXaltation extending to election day by the republican spell-binders and editor- ial writers of the greatness. the thoroughness, the definiteness of the president for everything that is done in congress whether he had any part in 1t or not.

Rev Dr George Reid Andrews of Bridgeport addressed the members of the Waterbury Women's club at their club room yesterday after noon on What know About tho Movies" The speaker censured the moving pictures, the newspa- pers and the radio. He told his listeners that in their attempt to raise the standards of moving pic lures they should not expect much support from the press. He charged that the moving picture people ad- vertise and shape the policy of the press with respect to the movies.
 Rev Dr Andrews participated re. gently in an investigation of the movies by the Federated Council of Churches of Christ in America and in his opinion there is much room for improvement. As for the radio, this industry is geared to commercial gain. he declared, just as are the pictures. We must take the advertising whether we want 1t or not. he said.
 At noon yesterday the spring luncheon was held under the direc- ton of Mrs George Grant. Mrs John c. Bradley presided at short business meeting. A fashion show will be held next Tuesday.
