Exercise
BY
DR.. JAMES w. BARTON
C Bell syndicate.-wNU Service.

0THE accumulation of ex-
i cess fat, in that it tends
to reduce physical efficiency
and not uncommonly to imperil
life, should be regarded far
more gravely than is the case.
Now although there are a con-
siderable number of different
causes of overweight, yet in
practice the majority of cases
result from excessive food in
take and deserve, therefore, our
chief attention. Thus most peo-
pie over the age of forty are too
fat, although at first glance they
might be passed as normal. Fat
creeps secretly or unnoticed
into the abdominal wall, and
the abdominal organs, produc-
ing the middle-aged spread as
its first sign. At this stage
treatment is a simple matter
and unassociated with danger.
1t may consist of either exer-
cises or reduced food intake, or
BOTH"

Blondes and Brunettcs

The brunette is thoughtful, inn
aginative, serious and tenacious.
When they start anything they see
it through. They are conservative
and more stable than blondes, de-
clares writer in Pearson's London
Weekly. They are emotional and it
is remarkable that many of the
great religious cults have be n
founded by brunettes. The brunette
is slower than the blonde, not so
brilliant, but sometimes more sure
of getting there" in the end. The
blonde is the builder, the go-getter,
