Players Pick Bobby Riggs
To WIN Rye Net Title
BIC TASK AHEAD
FOR HOLLYWOOD
TOURNEY STAR
BY LEWIS BURTON

RYE, N. Y. Aug. 12.-Impish
Bobby Riggs, a dashing dark
Hollywood marauder of 10, is the
players choice to take the eastern
grass court championship on the
WeStcheSter Country Clubs moth
eaten courts, and, back Of it, is the
contagious conviction that Riggs
will eventually become Americas
tennis monarch.
To attain the title here, he
doubtless will have to Scuttle Bitsy
Grant and frankie Parker, Davis
CupperS both, in Succ eSSive
matches. The immediate task
that faces Riggs is to turn the
tables tomorrow on Johnny Van
Ryn, Q former Davis Cup player,
who unexpectedly wiped the Hol-
lywood boy out Of the national
championships last year.
Has Ability
It is to be a blood match, but no
one doubts Riggs ability to come
through. Van Ryn taught him a
four-set lesson in overconfidence
last year. Riggs wound up No. 4
in the national ratings behind
Parker, No. 2, and Grant, No. 3.
For fellow Jamming into the
mems rankings for the first time,
it was a momentouS feat, although
he conceivably could have done
better. This year, with the cur
rent tourney as one Of the big
stepping stones, he can pass both,
snuggle up alongside Don Bulge
in the rankings and win himself
first call on a Davis cup job in
1893.
RIGGS TO WIN
The players almost unanimously
agree he lis IS better than last
year and hitting harder" Ben
jamin H. Dwight. chairman Of the
National Umpires' Association,
who has been looking at top flight
tennis for a quarter Of a century,
predicted today that Riggs would
win here and go on to No. 2 rank

 There are no two ways about t you simply cannot wear the new slim fall dresses which give a "cor- seted look through the middle of the body" unless your stomach and diaphragm are flat, hips trim Therefore, if you like the new styles and intend to wear them, better get busy with exercises and plans for a new diet.
 Anyone can reduce her dimen- sions. But seldom is this simple matter. On the contrary, 1t usually takes more time and patience and self-denial than the average indi- vidual is willing to stand.
 Losing good deal of weight means going to your family doc tor for a physical examination and suggestions on the advisabil- ity of the intended diet. Then 4 means eating @ light breakfast (fruit, one thin slice of toast, cof- feel when you crave a hugl bowl of cereal or couple of egg: and some crisp bacon: sticking tc salad, fruit and a beverage al lunchtime when you feel like ordering everything on the menu, And having a big dinner which is big only because of the gener. ous portions of vegetables nnd salad - not because you can or der a family-sise piece of pie and finish with a nice thick creamy mint.
 The matters of daily walks and regular exercise are none toe easy either. If you are truly seri- ous about losing weight and really mean 1t when you say that a nice figure means more to you than rich food or indulging your self in taxi, automobile or street car rides, then you will get out of bed and do setting-up routines for ten minutes every morning roll few times before you go to bed.
 To take inches off your waist line and diaphragm, do several bending exercises and as many stretching routines every morn- ing. Stretch your arms toward the ceiling, pulling lazy waistline muscles up, up, up. Keeping knees stiff, bend forward and touch the floor with fingertips Bend to the left, to the right, back as far as you can. Still keeping knees straight, touch right toes with left hand. Re- verse, touching left toes with right fingers. Repeat fifteen or twenty times.
 NEXT: Neat habits.

1 the motor function of the circula- ton and the respiration are. It doesn't matter how much or how frequently you interfere with this automatic regulation; as soon as you cease interfering and the ef- feet of the interference wears off, the natural autonomlc control will be resumed just as though you had never interfered at all.
 That is as clearly and as simply as I can teach this lesson in phy- siology. If you are so hopelessly dumb that you can't understand it. why, I'm sorry for you but per- haps you had better go back to your pills. Your moral fibre Is weak. Your intelligence is more suited to the purpose of the ilos- trum and quackery trade.
 There is one suggestion cah offer anybody who intends to over- come the constipation habit. Begin a week or two beforehand building up intestinal vigor, mean phy- siologically and not in the slang sense. Begin supplementing your ordinary deficient diet with Q daily ration of vitamins B, c and D. B. and c, as in wheat germ or in brewers yeast (yeast for baking is comparatively poor in vitamins), Is beneficial for this purpose, giving better tone" to the stomach and intestine; but he addition of D, by irradiating dried brewers yeast with ultraviolet light of certain wave-length, distinctly increases the invigorating effect.
 Whether you are personally in- terested in this common complaint or not, 1t is well to understand that the intestine or bowel can no more be influenced by habit than can the heart or the lungs.
 There is ample experimental and clinical evidence to indicate that Vitamin B and vitamin D in com bination overcome hypomotility or sluggishness and undue irritability of stomach and bowel better than either vitamin alone.
 Calendar Cure for Bed-Wetting
 Give the child small calendar, to keep beside the bed. Each dry night is to be recorded by one mark (say o blue pencil mark or Q circle around the date) and each wet night Is to be recorded by different mark, say red pencil mark or Q cross through the date. This is most effective when a group of chil- dren carry 1t out moro or less in competition. Parents may have in. structions for correction of bed-wet- ting on request-inclose 0 three- cent-stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Tired Feeling
 Towards late afternoon 1 get Vo tired can hardly keep going. l think read in your column about Q woman taking two grains of qui- nine three times 0 day for tired feeling. Is that oil right2 GA. R. O.
 Answer-First, you should have a physical examination by your doc- tor to find out what is the mattes. l think the quinine would be harm less If you want to try 1t, but ] would suggest rather c course of ir. radiated yeast tablets and the iodin ration. Send three-c cent-stamped OH. velope bearing your address, and ask for instructions for taking the iodin ration.
