The National League Of Women
Voters declares that the growing
problem Of public relief, and par

local public welfare agencies.

declares that relief must become a
definite part Of permanent state

report says:
with the Iengthening years
Of depression and the hopeless

the unemployed into industry,
1t has become evident that relief

"The new Federal policy Of
providing only work relief from
Federal funds and leaving to
the States the care of those who
cannot be employed, gives to
the States increased response

In the event that this was the
year for the children to come
down with the mumps and
measles, and every suggestion Of
that coveted roundness has been
mislaid, take advantage Of the
tips offered through our figure
column to rebuild both figure and
spirits.
Health's highway Is the direct
route to figure perfection accord
ing to today's standards. Live
better and relocate some Of that
lost weight. Check up on your
health habits and find out where
the trouble lies. Your doctor can
help you get back on the right
track.
Food and Energy
How about your diet? It is pos
sible that you are one of those
chronically thin persons who
"eat so much that it makes you
thin to carry it around. OF
course, the more you eat, the thin
ner you get, when you partake Of
food in excess Of your digestive
capacity. It is more rest, not food,
that you need.
Usually the highly strung.
nervous individual finds it i'm
possible to gain weight simply by
stuffing herself with highly nu-
tritive foods. When food is trans
lated into nervous energy, it can.
not be stored as fat. More rest,
entailing less energy expenditure,
is the answer to this problem.
Keep the menu on the simple
side, nourishing and well bal
anced. Start the day with a sub
stantial breakfast consisting of
fruit, cooked cereal with whole
milk and cream, buttered toast,
honey and a beverage. To i'm
prove calorie content and flavor
of the cooked cereal, add dates
or figs or raisins.
Exercise
At ncheon-cream soup, fresh
fruit salad, custard and a glass
Of whole milk or hot chocolate.
For dinner, the suggestion is: A

are fattening. No food will help
you to gain if it impairs diges-
tion.
Exercise will scatter the pounds
when the few you have are all
punched in one or two spots. Un-
derweightS need exercise just as
badly as overweightS. You are
in poor shape when you not only
have to cope with a flat chest
and stringy neck, but also carry
the few pounds you do possess
on the hips.
Exercise is q weight nOrmaliZer
and a promoter of symmetry.

to round out the hOllows. Send
