 HyKela, the Health Magazine

For years the belief has prevail cd that it might be possible to control arthritiB and rheumatic discagc by diet. Some have argued that the diet should be poor in pro- tein; others that the sugar should be reduced.
 Many persons with arthritis are overweight. Therefore, the first diet tried should always be one with 2 low number of calories and small amount of carbohydrates.
 People with arthritis usually take plenty of water; in fact. l2 to l4 glasses daily, instead of the ugual eight.
 Otherwise, the diet in arthritis may be just about the same as that in any infection with low fever. For a person with chronic arthritis the diet is kept much the same, cx- ccpt that there is more solid food,
 You should remember. however, that diet alone does not cure arth- ritis. This. notwithstanding the fact that a great many dietary agi- tatOrs claim avoidance of mixtures of proteins and carbohydrates, or of other food combinations. will con- trol the disease.
 Keep in mind that arthritis tends to get better and to get worse, and the latest diet or method of treat ment may be given credit for the improvement. or be blamed for the relapse.

GIOriing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

If you want to look slim and trim in your new spring clothes, now is the time to start reducing exercises. To be effective, they must be done regularly, day after day.
 First of all, don't try to starve yourself to the proportions you de- sire. Moderate eating is . step to- ward . more slender figure, of course. but the fact remains that strenuous dieting generally makes you lose weight in the places where you are just right and very often has no effect at all on the spots that arc too fat.
 For instance, if every ounce you've gained during the winter has settled about your hips while your neck and chest still are slender, just face the fact that you need exer- else or massage treatments. Only these methods will take weights from the hips and yet not a1ect the neck and chest.
 DO all the rolling-on- n-the-fioor routines you know. Stretch out flat with hands clasped above your head and, keeping ankles together and shoulders flat, roll from side to side, pressing your hips and thighs flat against the floor. If you like, roll over and over from one side of the room to the other.
 To remove Q fatty lump from between shoulder blades and to make the arms lovelier, grasp both ends of . three-foot stick, raise it high above your head, then, bends ing only one elbow, force your arms backward until you arc holding 1t behind you. Not changing the posi- ton of your hands, bend the other elbow, bringing the wand back to the front again. Repeat ten times. Feel your shoulders Btraighten and feel their blades massage away the fatty tissues between.
 To Slenderize your stomach and to strengthen It's muscles, lie face downward on the floor and, keeping toes on tho floor, raise yourself twenty times, slowly, then rapidly. Remember the importance of ac- tice sports. one hour, twice week, on the tennis court, eighteen holes of golf twice . week or Q thirty minute swim every other day not only will keep you slim and trim but will clarify your skin and makf your eyes and hair shiningly beau tiful.

Household Hints
Concealed Plumbing

It has taken a long time to over come the old selling point Of "open plumbing. but at last the public has become less suspicious of any thing that closes in the piping be- heath h lavatory or kitchen sink, and the manufacturers, taking ad- vantage of this wearing down Of prejudice have come out with lava tories that look like cabinets with doors below the basin that open ID and dLclose a nice big medicine cabinet or place for linen or s0iled clothes hamper. In these daya when architects search out every available inch of space as diligently as Di0genca sought for hls honest man, this gain B real one.

COOKING MEATS WITH FRUIT CREATES DISTINCTIVE FLAVOR
(NEA seryIce Stan WrIter)

Have you tried the new fruit and meat combinationS2 I don't mean just certain fruit sauces with meats, but rather the use of fresh. dried and canned fruits with meats in cooked dishes Sometimes the juice is used to give piquant flavor. Again tho whole fruit is drained from its juice and broiled or grilled and used as a border. Sometimes the fruit is chopped and combined with the meat in a loaf or Q casserole.
 They're good for you---these dishes. The acid of the fruit acts upon the fat particles of the meat, breaking them up and making them easier for the system to asyimilate. The fruit mineral salts are valuable in main- taining the balance of meal rich in protein.
 Ffenched pork tendcrloin with apricots is akin to roast pork with apple sauce but more interesting. Then there are lamb chops with raisinS: veal and raisin loaf with bananas; hamburg steak with broiled bananas and beef roll with apricots. Don't they sound good?
 Baked or grilled, bananas, al- ways in the market. are good served with almost any kind of meat and are decided help in adding variety to everyday meals.
 The simplest way to use whole fruits of any kind--bananas .apri- cots or slices of pineapplc--is to dip them in melted butter or salad oil, then in seasoned flour and broil under q clear flame.
 Planhed Hamburg Steak
 One pound round steak. tea spoon salt, IA teaspoon white pep- per, l-2 cup dried apricots, 1 cup stale bread crumbs, l egg.
 Scrub apricots well and soak several hours in warm water to cover. Put meat and apricots through fine knife of food chopper. Add salt. pepper, bread crumbs and egg and mix thoroughly. Pack Into a but- tered pie dish and bake in a mod crate oven t375 degrees F) until brown on top and bottom. It will take about twenty-five minutes. Re-

corpulcnt at all. There is consid- erable risk involved in any restric- ton Of the diet of person who has not yet attained full adult growth and development. There- fore I warn all girls tryin gto re- duce without the supervision of q physician. Women or men past thirty may safely follow Q sound. rational design for dwindling and actually gain increased health and vitality from the improved nutri- ton, irrespective of the change in measurements.
 The explanation of all this iS given in the booklet Design for Dwindling" which will be mailed if you send ten cents in coin and q stamped addressed envelope for my convenience.
 4 pcrgon on 6 diet low in car- bohydratc but yielding only two thousand calories tfrom fats and proteins) more quickly loses weight than ono on 6 diet yielding the same number of calorieB but in- cluding more carbohydrate. Car bohydrate food (any form of starch or Bugar) tends to hold larger proportion of water in the issues, and even though the patient is ac- tuaily dwindling in flesh, in meas urcmeTItS, the larger proportion of water retained in the cells and tis- sues of the body keeps the weight up. If the moderate reduction diet fa diet yielding 2,000 calories day is moderate reduction diet for corpulcnt adulD is adhered to, in the course of two weeks. more or less, the water balance of the body automatically adjusts itself and there follows a dumping of the overload of water, through the var ious excretory channels, and cor responding lowcrin gof body weight, through the real test Of the efil- cacy Of q lcgsening rekimen is al- ways the tape measure. If individ- uals who seek to dwindle would remember this, perhaps they would not 20 easily become discouraged ana weakly give up courBc under taken with earnest. Keep off the scales for a few weeks, and let your tape measure be your guage.

 Paris (UP)--The combination of tweed and leather will be worn a great deal this spring. Some houses show woolen skirts worn with matching or contrasting packets of suede while others show jackets whose collars, cuffs, reveres and pocket flaps are faced with suede or leather.
 There is a new lastex leather of flne kid which has been pulled into puckered designs by the elnstic threads drawn through it. This is used in white for q heavy blouse which fastens high at one shoulder with black clips an dis worn with ablack belt. The same lastex leath- CT is used in ali colors to make col- lars and cuffs on spring suits.
 There is e smart little sleeveless brown suede vest which can be worn either for town or country. It adds extra warmth and chic worn under Q sports coat during cold weather and is used over a dress for spring. In the latter case. 1t is shown over q short sleeved green and brown checked wool which is made with twa kick pleats at the front of the skirt.
 The high neck and large brown buttons are hidden when 1t is worn under the brown suede vest which has high, rounded neck over Q square shoulder yoke. Two pleats, matching those on the skirt of the dress, give fulness above the waist. which is pulled in by trim brown suede belt.

: WOMAN,S REALM :
Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

So Mary and John were married and Daddy had built them the cute est little house imaginable. It had had even a spare room, to be called, of course, the guest room. And be- side their own bedroom there was . small adjoining cubicle that would someday be the baby'B.
 i Downstairs there was parlor, dining room and Kitchen, also small side Surl-porch that could be opened up on hot evenings. No one had . porch any more. Just a carl- opy and few brick steps in front, and in back c platform for the gar- bage can that could be hedged in by shrubbery and keep people from suSpecting that any such plebian be- longing was there.
 And with all the wedding presents displayed 50 costly inside, in just the right places, including ten lamps and about twenty vases, both Mary and John felt that everything was set for years to come. John was to succeed to his fathers business and they would continue to live under the lilac and the weeping willow for all time to come.
 Outgr0wing the House Came the baby next year. And everything was so sweet and cosy that all Marys friends thought life was simply too unfair in heaping all it's blessings on one girl. The alcove done in pink was too heavenly. And the shut-in porch was the very ticket for little Jackie to get his air- ing. And Jackie grew and he grew and he grew. And finally he had to have g bigger bed and that meant the guest room. No longer could Mary have company overnight. The next thing was 8 play pen and then came the stroller. Now the sun- room had to make way for storage. But the worst was yet to come.
 Jackie learned to walk. And he learned to pull of covers that drew with them some of the wedding presents. Nice days came, too, and he needed some place where he could play and get air. His mother could not be forever taking him on rides. But the ground was too damp to risk the lawn, and where were the porches? Nobody had thought ahead that far.
 Another Complication Arrives
 Mary lost her even temper. Jackie often got smacked for touching untouchablcs. The house was hopeless because toys filtered the floor and you can just imagine.
 When Jackie was two-fifty, Mol ly waS born. Molly fitted right well into the cubic but Mary wondered where she would put her after while She could go into the room with Jackie a while, but not always.
 Of course, 1t wasn't any worse than other homes where there are little families, and in many ways a lot better. But what made Mary mad was the fact that everybody had been 50 blind when the houge was built. Why couldn't her par ents have seen beyond the ends of their no6eB? Why hadn't they said, You will need m honest to- goodness porch, and . playroom." So now Mary has decided to rent the sweet little house and look for one to rent herself. One that folks call old fashioned, and in which everyone can enjoy life. And where the children won't be nagged 70 much.
