so that by eating other than starchv
foods, scme of this water is drawn
out of the fat tissue and the inGi
vidual is just that much less IL
weight,
These physicians suggest that where.
there is too much liquid anywhere
in the body, such as swelling of the
feet or hands. swelling of the tissues
in nose or throat, too much liquid
coming up in the sputum from the
bronchial tubes. cutting down on th,.
starchy foods will help to lessen the
swelling and Inflammation.
However, don't take it upon your
self to do without water, whether
you are sick or well, because there
are conditions where water is abso-
lutely necessary to maintain or
acquire health.
The big point about water AMI
weight, however. is that water make
up a considerable portion Of thc
weight in all overweight individuals
ana by riding the system Of tke
water. that much weight is lost
Also. that by getting rid of fat tissuo
not only is the weight of the fat itse
lost but also the extra water the fa
was holding.
Finally. if the overweight individ-
ual will eat foods that do not contain
much starch he can prevent the foc-
nation of fat in the body and ac-
tually draw some Of the water from
the fat tissue in the body.
In other words. eating meat. eggs
and fruits and cutting down OF
potatoes, bread and sugar should
reduce both fat and water and there
fore that much weight.

Mode| That Puts Life in Waning Wardrobe
Nothing So Smart as Black
and White Dress When
Spring Days Arrive.
BY BARBARA BELL.

~ UR smart pattern-frock for
today has been chosen as .
response to the daily re-
~ quests we have had for .
suitable design for a black
dress with something white on it.
There is nothing 80 smart as . black
and white dress to slip into when the
first sunshiny days Of Spring are here.
Today's model Is one to put life
into your waning wardrobe. It has
that ahead-of-the-season look that
should characterize any frock one ac-
quires early in the season.
The removable cape. which will
prove smart possession when Spring
arrives, shows only discreet amount
Of white in the left front and in the
tie lining
The dress beneath 1t features one
Of the new bateau necklines that af-
fords the clever girl chance to COL
lect an assortment Of the latest trim
mingS shown at the neckWear counter.
The skirt abounds in new interest.
OF first importance is the hip-nne
accent, which is to be seen in many Of
the latest one-piece frocks. In this
design the line follows accurately the
one in the lower edge of the cape.
The fullness at the bottom Is ex-
pressed in soft ripples, which in no
way interfere with the straightness
of the silhouette.
Barbara Bell Pattern No 1240-B is
designed in sizes, 80, "a, SO, SO. 40, AZ.
Size "a requires Ala yards 39-inch
material, and * yard white contrast.
Made in one material, 434 yards 39-
inch material.
Every Barbara Bell pattern has an
illustrated instruction guide that is
easy to understand.

Is Q substitute for some other idea
which you cannot bear to think about
In other words, you repress painful
ideas. but they crop out in conscious
ness in some other form. There seems
to be some sense to this theory.
It may be that parts Of our dreams
are woven out OF ideas which corre-
spond to the fixed ideas We OCCASION
ally have when awake. At any rate,
1t Is q known fact that some ideas in
q dream will stick with you for the
greater part Of a day. You may have
forgotten all about the rest Of the

you for hours. It then takes on the
