THE PROOF OF THE EATING
 IS IN THE PADDING

THE FA6OOf Ot AhE AbhAANN
 IS IN THE PADDING
 ' Modern medical practice, partic- uIarly therapeutics, is based upon animal experimentation. That is. the science of medicine is. The art of medicine puts this experimen- tai knowledge 10 the test of exper- fence, which is human experiment. tatIon. Actual clinical experience is the criterion, the best authority for all true physicians.
 Here is a fact which, in my judg- ment, clinical experience has proved as positively as any Drac- tical fact can be proved by animal experiment: In the great majority of cases of obesity or overweight the essential cause Is shortage Of yitamins in the ordinary diet, and therefore the rational remedy Is correction of this nutritional dcfi- cIency. This does not imply that yitamins bring about reduction or excess fat or diminution of body dimensions. Indeed, many frail. underweight individuals have gained needed vigor and flesh on a suitable ration of vitannins. On the other hand many thousands of oy- crweight individuals have found that they desire and require less food when they get the vitamius which are necessary for normal functions. When the demands Of the body for vitamins are satisfied general health and vitality invar- >iably improve, whether the indi- vidual elects to follow reduction regime or not.
 This, I maintain, is a soundly es- tabiishcd principle of practice, sup- ported by ample clinical evidence in the observations made by phy- sicians throughout the country. Be- ing q codger of sorts have cogi- tated this question many an hour and can't conceive how 1t could be put to the test of animal cxper- imentation, for 1t would be too diff. ficult to approximate the many conditions which influence human habits of eating and drinking. I often recall Topsy, the sorrel mare I drove when 1 was Q young and honest practitioner in Penn Yan, believe 1t or not. Topsy was spoiled with betting. Somehow I couldn't unharness her and turn her into her stall after a night call without giving her generous extra meas ure of oats and additional hay--so, naturally. she grew too fat. but that was In the comparatively busy winter season. In the compara- lively idle summer time Topsy kept in fine condition. I believe now that she got more vitamins in the summer, what with the green grass we had several groups of, say. q one sorrcl mare doesn't signify. If and things she enjoyed, and--but, hundred horses, to experiment with we might get evidence which would satisfy the ultra scientific labora- tory men.

TRAVEL CLOTHES TRIP UP
 HAPHAZARD DRESSERS
Quiet Elegance Guides Choice
BY JEAN PATOU' Written for NEA Service

Paris: Travelling clothes. which the majority of women tailored suit augmented by Q more or less adequate coat, have now assumed an important place in the feminine wardrobe.
 Just as much time and planning are devoted to the elaboration of the clothes a woman will wear on her travels as fh the remainder sof her wardrobe, No natetr how simple, the outfit must be appro- priatc, whether travel entails a tranhcontinentai trip, an extend- ed cruise or merely q weekend in the country.
 The fuI-length coat worn over Q simple dress of fine wool or 3ers aey is the ideal solution. lf color and fabric are sufficiently gtu- died, the coat can be made to do double duty as sports coat or for informal wear. This also applies to the dress. By adding a dif- ferent collar and cuff set of lingerie, 1t can be worn on many informal occasions.
 When selecting traveling clothes, the first principle to bear in mind, and the most important, Is that/the general impression 10 be conveyed must be one Of sober elegance. Any effort at"origtnaI- ity iss' usually achieved to the de. triment of good taste.
 Fur Trimming May
 Ksa UTae nm Coat
 The topcoat can be fur trimmed. This is merely 8 question of itin- erary, not to mention the pocket book. But equally smart is the simple, perfectly tailored redin- gote, with practical roomyz pock- cts, completed by an equally siiii- pie scarf of handlsnitted wool In some gay color.
 fuil-length coat of leather, pre- ferably in some rich, dark shade of brown or blue. This naturally calls for impeccable cut and taii- bring. Capes are practical TOT all travel wear and are definitely / in again as general fshion theme. Worn over a. matching suit. with divided skirt for added comfort. the cape is smart.
 The choice of accessorcies--- blouse, bag, gloves, hat and scarf---is one which calls for an . innate sense, of dress, besides of- fering the only means of convey ing the personal touch to the entire outfit. Style, medium and color 4 ing arc of paramount importance if the ensemble is to be In perfect harmony.

 Sunkcn Eyes
 am 40, and have deep-set eye. pits, which make me look strange. Read oe a drug, which, as q side effect, makes the eyeballs pro- trude .. (G. NJ
 Answer-No drug can do any, thing for you. The chances are you are underweight, and the fat pad back of the eyeballs Is de6- cient. That's what makes people look "hollow-eyed" when emaciatr ed. Send dime and stamped en- yelope bearing your address for in- structions for gaining weight.
 Iactic Acid
 Will the iactic acid in sour milk or buttermilk or in sauerkraut IT.. ritate kidneys or bladder or do any harm to the liver if taken in con- siderable quantities? (P. C.)
 Answer-One may take all the sour milk, buttermilk or sauer- kraut one likes without anxiety about the lactIc acid. That is con- verted by oxidation in tho body into harmless carbon dioxide and water.

up Roberts and tell them if they cant send flowers that stay fresh longer than half day I'll find someone who can. Tell him don't intend 10 pay him for wilted flow CTS. If it happens again, I'll find another fiorist!"
 "Ycs, Miss Vicky." The woman crossed the room and picked up the | offending bowl of flowers. They were clear yellow Jon1uils with ruff fled edges and tulips -mauyc, shad- ing to blush -purplc--poised on tall, graceful stems. The flowers gave off q sprlng-like fragrance and each of the blossoms looked crisply fresh. Evidently however. the housekceper did not think 1t wise to make any further protest. She said, "PlI tell them," and l started for the door. She had nl- most reached 1t when Vicky's voice stopped her.
 What arc those boxes?" she de- mandcd, pointing to three gray | boxes on low table. I "They're from Bogworth's, Miss Vicky. The things you bought yes- l terday."
 "Oh--"
 Vicky picked up the box on top of the pile, snatched at the string tied around 1t and drew off the cover. From folds of tissue paper inside she drew an abbreviated gar ment of peach colored silk and lace.
 Vlcky frowned. This isn't what I ordered" she said. Tt won't do | at all! Look at this silk--slcazy stuff! Send 1t back. Call up the store and tell them to send out for | all of this"
 The housekceper eyed the boxes "Everything she asked. You want it all 10 go back?' "Ycs. won't deal with places that aren't reliable. I'm going up stairs now. If anyone calls. tell them I'm not at home. I'm not nt home to anyone. You understand? v l The woman nodded. Yes. Miss Vicky.' She said 1t uncertainty. rather timidly.
 The girl swept from the room. Upstairs in the peach and ivory bedroom with It's heavy satin dra- peries. Vicky pulled off her frock and dropped if. crumplcd, 10 the floor. She took q pcach-c0 c0lored vel vet robe from the clothes closet md thrust her arms into it. slipped her feet into silver sandals, and stalkcd across the room. Her eyes were blazing and her lip, twisted | with anger.
 "A mil girl!" she said contcmptu- ousiy. "A cheap. common little mill 1 girl. And she thinks sch can take Brian Wcstmore away from me, dose she? Well, she can't. I'll show hcr---I'll show her what l can do---"
 There was a dressing table made of mirror glass and shimmering -colored taffeta between two windows at the front of the room. On 1t were bottles and jars Of crys- tai. Vicky strode to tho dressing table. snatchcd up crystal jar and hurled it to tho floor.
 "Tll show Miss Gale Henderson'" she snhrlcd. Suddenly she stood quite still. A l crafty look came Into the dark eyes Vicky stared at the place on the floor where the shattered pieces Of crystal lay. nodded her head slow ly. That's it." she said to the silent room. "'rhat will do it. It's the very thing!"
 | Shc sank into chair and smiled --an dangerous smile, stunning, tri- umphant.

Short. simple routines that re- move temporary fatigue lines, ban ish grayish tones and make your face seem fresh and rested prob- ably are tho cosmetic industry's greatest gift to women, particularly ly those who work--in homes or out.
 As any business girl will admit. there's bomething pretty disheart- eplng about the way she looks to herself at five o'clock after q day at a desk. Discuss the subject with one who keeps house and she undoubtedly will tell you that her appearance is anything but pleasing at that hour of the day too. Each appreciates the need of some easy. but effective. beau ty treatment that will make her time. One famous cosmetic man. ufacturer has perfected just that.
 You need three preparations - of strawberry cream and Q straw berry lotion. While you are draw ing your bath, carefully clean face and neck with your favorite cleansing cream. Then smooth on a generous layer of the pink cream that actually smells like fresh strawberries, get Into the tub and take q leisurely bath.
 Try to leave the cream on for at least half an hour. When you have dried yourself and dustcd on bath powder. remove the cream and gently pat Lace and throat with the matching tonic. Then apply foundation lotion and fresh makeup. You'll look like diff jfcrent person and. goodness knows. you'll feel q hundred per cent frcsher and happier.

 "Very attractfve." Vicky was busy with the vanity case again. She closed 1t and said. Well, I guess I'll go on. You needn't say anything to Father about my being here. really doesn't natter"
 She slipped the vanity case into her handbag, drew on her gloves and arose.
 The stenographer, whose name was Gertrude Mullins, watched Vicky crossing the rocrn. She won dered what that divine perfume how much 1t cost Plenty. no doubt! Gertrude Mullins settled back to work. She thought. "I'll bet they'll be surprised at home when tell them about Miss Thatcher sitting here and talking 10 me. just as friendly as anybody. I'll bet that silver fox cape cost plenty, too"
 Brian Westmore walked to the window and tapped the sill with restless fingers. That was fool trick, he told himself for the doz- enth time. His fault altogether. Why did he always have to bungle everything? He'd have felt q ter xTa kA pened to come to the door just then--Thatchcr or Parsons or even Ciss Young. The thing probably looked entirely different from what really happened. That was what bothered him. Gale Henderson must have felt the same way. Lord. what a dunce he was! Frightening the girl out Of her wits and then embarrassing her.
 He raised the window and drew 6 deep breath of cool air. Well, there was one thing that had been fortunate. If anyone had to come in and see him with Gale when she was weeping and he was trying 10 comfort her, he was glad 1t had been Vlcky. Vicky was all right. She wouldn't misJudge the situa- ton, would be curious. Or If she was, at least shc wouldn't say any thing about 1t.
 Yes, Vicky was a good sport Brian thought. i've done few favors for her. all right. She hasn't forgotten"
 But he would have to make some explanation to Vicky, just the same. He could tell her---well. just what could he tell her? Or would 1t be better to ignore tho whole af- fair? Not to say anything about 1t?
 Brian went to tho closet where his coat and hat hung and took them out. A minute later he was in the outer office. He said. Miss Young. if anyone calls tell them I'll be back in an hour"
 Then he strode out of the build ing.
 Vicky took off her hat and tossed 1t on the over stuffed chair where her gloves and purse lay. She took n step forward and stopped, frown- ing.
 "Martha!" she called abruptly.
 A mlddlc-aged woman with gray hair and wearing gray dress ap- pcared in the doorway of the living room.
 "Yes. Miss Vicky."
