PROPER DIETING
Underweight or Overweight
It's Safest Method.
By EDITH IN. BARBER

weight is a problem of calories de-
pending upon the amount of food we
eat or whether it is a problem OF now
our bodies use those calories. Obser-
walton shows that there, is little differ
ence in the number, of calories which
everyone needs to maintain the proc
ess of digestion. flow of blood, etc.
There may, however, be difference
in the number which is used up by the
movement of the body in exercise.
This may possibly be caused by one
Of the glands, but it is uncertain
which one is responsible. The thyroid,
the adrenals, the gonads, even the pan
creas have been suspected. Glandular
extracts have had results in specific
cases, but no general conclusion or
remedy has been found.
Even the brain is accused of influ-
encing weight. The nerve centers, IN
what is known as the 'between BRAIN"
have been found in animal experiment
tation to have direct connection with
gain in weight.
There is still another theory about
the deposit of fat which has some
thing to back it up. This refers to
the deposit of fat in one compartment
of body cell with the "lipase" which
breaks up fat deposited in another
compartment without power to reach
the fat. 1t is possible that one of the
glandular extracts furnishes this lack.
While admitting our present inabll-
ity to completely control weight. diet
will always get noticeable results. No
matter what the cause of overweight
or underweight there can, in practical
ly every case be reduction or building
up by subtraction or addition to the
diet, under controlled regime which
extends over period of months.
Diet for reducing must be carefully
planned in that the proper amounts
of minerals, vitamins and proteins are
included. Diets for increasing weight
must be planned in such way that
digestive organs are not given too
large a load. Most persons who are
overweight are not actually "obese"
and can lose without resort to any
thing more than diet carefully
planned and-this is the point-strict-
ly adhered to. Results are seldom seen
in the first few weeks, and by that
time, as you have probably seen often
in your experiences or in that Of your
friends, interest in diet may have died
monotonous death. AS one much

-''life is too short to spend dieting!"
Actually, life is likely to be longer if
, weight is kept at normal.
The same thing in reverse is true.
The person below normal in weight
has no reserve to call upon when it
is needed. Perhaps some day the
scientists will be able to help us con-
troll abnormal conditions which influ.
ence weight, but we must still depend
upon the choice Of diet. in component
parts and in amounts to regulate
weight, and in this way affect our body
health. We shall not be able to shift
the responsibility entirely.
