oody may nave 0een storing wa
Try to take some comfort from
the fact that the scientists who
know all about it, regard water
storage as one Of the most puzzling
factors of the entire weight prob.
lem-gaining or reducing.
Think Of the change that can
be made in weight in just a few
hours and you can appreciate the
effect of water retention on your
weight less: In seventy minutes
of hard play a football player lost
fourteen pounds of weight! In
three hours a Marathon runner
lost eight and one-half pounds,
and after a few hours on the
courts tennis player weighed six
pounds less.
The explanation of these losses
is that the bulk of the lost weight
was in water, and as soon as the
water is replaced the weight re-
turns to the old figure. However,
the cases of those athletes per-
forming violent exercise serves to
illustrate the Importance of water
as the variable weight factor. It
makes rate of loss one of the most
unpredictable elements of your
figure program.
Although on a low calorie diet
you are continually breaking down
your store of fatty tissue for
energy, an increase in the storage
Of water may delay the regiStra-
ton of this weight loss on the
scales.
You may have wondered why,
without any effort on your part,
your weight sometimes varies as
much as a pound in a day. Under
ordinary conditions, the body
solids do not change more than
one-tenth of a pound per day, and
water exchange is responsible for
the weight that shows up on the
scales.
On a diet, water storage becomes
an even more important factor
For days, on low calorie diet.
you may see no change in your
weight, although you know that
you are taking fewer calories than
you require for energy expenditure
In this case, you are storing water
at a rate which offsets your loss
in fatty tissues. Gradually this
temporary condition will be ad
justed and you will be surprised
to find that apparently overnight
you have lost three to six pounds
For example, you may not lose
weight the first two weeks on g
: rigorous diet, and the next two
weeks on the same diet you may
. lose seven to ten pounds. Actually
this weight has been lost some
time previously, but not registered
Do not think that water reten
ton has anything to do with the
water you drink. It does not. Sail
and bicarbonate of soda are founc

Down Memory Lane!
With MerUUn LeROU

The world trembled that night
a long time ago and a city burned.
I was asleep in our third-floor
apartment when it happened.
We lived in an apartment house
near Geary and Larkin, and al of
sudden I was falling and then
my bed hit the bottom and rolled
off on the floor, unhurt. I was on
the ground floor now and people
were screaming all around me.
Mother took my hand and we went
out into the street and there was
an old man walking up and down
playing Nearer My God To Thee"
on his fiddle.

them all. That was in 1915, the
year of the Panama Pacific Elk

the people in. was Charlie Chap
lin for weeks and when they had
O. Chaplin contest at the fair I
won gold cup. I still have it
somewhere and it must be gold
because it hasn't turned green
yet.
There were posters in the lobby
of the Alcazar Theater and on
them were the names of Frank
Bacon, Majorie Rambeau, Bert
Iytell, Virginia Brissac, j. An
thony Smythe and Theodore Rob-
erts. I used to stand in the lobby
and look at the names and dream
about being an actor. 1 sold papers
in front of the theater and the
actors and actresses used to be my
customers.
Another customer was Milton
Stollard, the stage manager, and
I kept Fostering him, telling him
maybe he could give me a little

Names And Numbers

NOW MANY STREETS of Redwood
IN Falls do you know by name? Beyond
Second, Mill and Bridge, the average
acquaintance of even quite seasoned resi-
dents with names and numbers is probably
two or three. In compiling directory some
years ago. we discovered most of the houses
had no numbers and surprising number of
residents did not know the name of the
street on which they lived.
Giving directions to visitors is com
plicated process of counting out streets,
mentioning landmarks familiar to us but un-
known to them and finally sending them in
the approximate direction to inquire here
and there along the way before finding their
destination.
The erection of attractive street mark
ers would not be costly project. Persons
would soon become familiar with names as
a result and if encouraged to place numbers
on their houses, the problem of directions
would be permanently solved. Most towns
half Redwood's size have such provisions
and are proud of the citifed appearance il
gives them. Redwood is city enough so that
markers would be a real convenience.

Spring Inspiration

nth THE FIRST warm days of spring
w comes that old familiar inspiratl.
to rake the lawn, burn the rubbish,
have tae trees trimmed, set out shrubs or a
hedge or some new trees, have the ash pile
hauled away, spade the garden and in other
ways beautify the premises and make the
start toward early vegetables and beautiful
summer flowers.
Frequently the inspiration is stifed
with the hot days of June Lawn tending be-
comes care and the weeds assume jurisdic-
tion over the garden. Too often the new
trees and hedge are sacrificed for the want
of little attention with the hose.
Aiming to get the most from preliminary
enthusiasm and to extend it through the
summer by stimulating domestic pride and
offering the chance of a worthwhile prize
the Citizens State bank is sponsoring a
lawn and garden contest. Readers are urg-
ed to enter, with the hope that the city may
be considerably beautiied thereby.

our city each summer, no impression is more

Opportunity Formula

~ NE THOUGHT particularly recon-
mended to young people is that behind
the modest business which is paying
good money into the cash register, the farm
that is owned and profitably operated and or
up to the bigger business and the larger
farms, there was meagre beginning. Some.
one worked overtime and saved every penny
possible in the earliest stages and then prac-
ticed frugality and hard work as the little
pile grew to larger pile Careful too was
the worker that one unwise plunge did not
leave him strapped in case of an error in
judgment or unforeseen events.
Fully as important as working and saw
ing was the never ending guarding of credit.
Borrowed money was necessary frequently
in the early stages and still is in the average
business. Men who build fortunes, large or
small, take every precaution to discount
bills, meet every obligation, someway, when
due and have horror of overdrafts and Sin
sufficient funds checks.
Don't ever let anyone tell you opportun-
ity for success is lacking in America today.
The same chances our fathers had to get
ahead are here now. The trouble is we neg
lect to use the old formula.

Old Days Financing

THE FREQUENTLY referred to good
old days" may have had important ad-
vantages but we are not inclined to in
dorse the practice of generation or two ago
of financing public improvements on post
pone the evil day as long as possible basis. I"
Redwood Falls last week paid the last
installment on a water tower and tank con-
structed in 1901. The tank has long since
been replaced and payments started on a
new one While not as extreme as the case
of one Minnesota city said to be still paying
for a ferry which was replaced by bridge
so years ago, the instance is bad enough.
There is much to be said for having the
persons who benefit by an improvement pay
for it over ten or Is year period but so
much that is built today may be antiquated
in 20 or 80 years and interest is such an item
in municipal expenses that longer terms are
highly undesirable. Model cities of the fu-
ture will anticipate their replacement needs
and salt away for them each year.

Just A Beginning
. HE DEMOCRATIC PARTY will do we

r HE DEMOCRATIC PARTY will do vel
in this election to use lot of discre
tion in making claims of what it ha!
done for the farmer The devaluation of the
dollar helped him lot and, believe, all ir
all the AAA was further assistance. Thus
for the first time the farmer did benefit dir
ectly by action of the federal government.
In the past considerable money has been
expended by the government through the
department of agriculture in improving
main highways and devising better methods
of farming and many shallow thinkers list
these appropriations to show how much has
been done in the past to help the farmer.
But the highways were used as much or
more by the residents of the cities and towns
and all Improvement in methods of farming
were, OF course, Immediately passed on to
the consumer
The tariff, often set forth as an aid TO
the farmer likewise, was of no benefit be
cause producers of an unprotected crop like
wheat shifted production to such protected
crop as butter and soon there was a devas-
tating overproduction in crops like dairy
products.
The industrial producer has had a con-
tinually rising tariff labor has had in recent
years a closed market owing to the immi-
grafton restrictions; the merchant marine
mas had It's subsidy; politicians the govern
ment frank which helped pay large part of
their campaign costs, and banks have been
permitted to issue currency.
The Democrats finally elected the farm
ers to the inside select circles of the special
privileged. But, the Democrats must be
careful not to give the impression that they
feel that agricultural recovery has more
than barely begun. When the farm income of
1885 has been doubled then the Democrats
can really crow. - ''The Weed Fuller" in st.

TOR SEVERAL YEARS the success o1
most state, county, city, village ant
township officers has more or less beer
judged by their success in securing aid from
the federal government for public projects
A handOut for new public building or al
airport or athletic field was the mark of par
ticular efficiency while most communities
got repairs to old buildings, or roads.
The money was available and was going
to be spent. Every community very logical
ly felt it was contributing share of the vast
expenditures and would be foolish not tt
grab any portion it could for itself.
Experience has taught some communi
ties that the effort and delay in getting this
help, the red tape strung on spending it ane
the regulations imposed on contractors make
it not unmixed blessing in many instances
Now the matter of civic pride comes into
the picture, The Fairmont Sentinel having
expressed this attitude on the subject:
This particular taxpayer would feel better
about it if Fairmont was providing its own ath-
letic field and storm sewer without accepting a
handout from anyone. More self respecting. AS
city or county, we should be too proud to be
on relief. Being so will have the same effect
on US as municipality that it has on indvi-
duals-a certain, inescapabe loss of self res
