Marriage isn't what il used to

he could go that his wife never

their ten or dozen children and
feeding chickens and making soap
and putting up preserves, and they
didn't have much to say. It's diff

buy are Of their own class. and

Value of Sugar Foods.

About the first FOODS that are re-
duced in amount in trying to get rid
Of fat are sugar, bread, potatoes,
and fat. These starch foods not only
supply energy for the body, but if
not used, are stored away in the
body as fat.
Now while sugar tends to store
fat many of us forget or do not
know two important points about
sugar. Sugar is the greatest energy
producer for its weight of all the
starch or carbohydrate foods. Sugar
gets into the blood and supplies en-
ergy in less time than any other
single food.
AS you know, a sugar solution is
now put into the veins before, dur
ing and after surgical operations to
give and maintain the patients S
strength.
At our universities and schools
great quantities of sugar in the form
CT candy or chocolate bars are con-
sumed before the afternoon football,
hockey, basketball or other practice.
l am not trying to get readers to
eat more sugar; it is likely that
most Of us eat enough for the
amount of work we do. To eat too
much sugar may mean great in
crease in weight because with little
or no work done, or exercise taken,
this extra sugar may be stored
away as fat.
But 1 believe that the knowledge
that sugar will give a great amount
of energy in a very short time
should be acted upon by those who
are overweight, that is by those who
are in good health.
AS you know, the reason so many
overweights soon 60 back to full
diet after being on a reducing diet
for a short time is because of feel
ing of weakness. This weakness nat
urally alarms them and they go off
the reducing diet. This is because
there is not enough sugar being car
'ried by the blood to muscles and
tissues which use sugar as fuel.
''When the number of calories or
food units is reduced it should be
remembered that too little sugar
and starch may cause low sugar
content, with its resultant nervous
ness, and also lessened muscle ac-
tivity and early muscle tire"
This means that the overweight
who cuts down too much on sugar
and starch foods is going to feel
so weak and nervous, and tire so
easily and quickly that he will take
very little exercise. And it is ex-
ercise that not only reduces weight
but maintains the strength of the
muscles.
What should be done is to eat a
little starch food just before taking
the exercise. Eating few Jumps
Of loaf sugar, a piece of candy,
chocolate bar, or banana which is
rich in quickly digested sugar, will
give the energy necessary to take
some exercise or play game, or do
some physical work. The sugar
gives the energy in less than ten
minutes and enough energy with
which to do an hours exercise.

He accepted it simply, unsuspicious-

"Oh, yes. primarily that. Pri-

There have been famous Crom-

restoration the name of Cromwell
became odious and many bearers
of the name made some change so
as to disguise it. Mr.. Vincent Crum-

Nickleby acted Romeo, was how one
man changed an illustrious name.

today as the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee explored the
tangled financial structure of the

such legislation as he charged the

properties under pyramided hold
ing companies.
TRUMAN PUZZLED
''I don't known why in the world
we have an I. c. C. if they cant
compete effectively with this prob
lem" said Truman, land such a
problem certainly points out the
necessity of additional legislation
to give the commission power to
deal, with this problem"
Truman's remarks were directed
at John. P. Murphy of Cleveland,
General Counsel for the Van
Sweringen group, who testified
that, without holding company
structures, railroads and other
large financial enterprises would
be seriously handicapped.
HELD UNNECESSARY
:. IT don't think that these hold
ing companies are as necessary as
you would have us believe" Tru-
man said. II don't think they are
created for the sole purpose of i'm
proving business standards and
methods, but are created to help
you fellows evade laws and the
regulations of Federal and State
agencies"
Truman said he was referring in
particular to previous testimony
in which Murphy admitted the

SPELL"
DID RADIO sKIT
Over the luncheon table we
shouted with glee at Virginia'S
tales Of funny jobs and funny
places. For example:
Virginia was the ripe old age Of
16 when she and her kid sister
made the large sum Of $50 doing
a radio skit in Nashville. It was
for the Shriners and was titled:
Model Husbands"
They were set afire with the
glory of their sudden fame and
wealth and decided there was only
one thing to do: Strike out and
see the world! And the one place
they craved was Broadway. Pack
ing their bags the day after Christ
mas, they set out. With knees
knocking together they hid in the
woInen's room on the train until
it was safely out Of the home
town and they had ascertained no
one was aboard who would recog-
nize them.
$50 MELTS AWAY
Then bravely they took seats in
the coach. When they got into
New York they registered with a
wellknown organization where
they felt they would be safe. In a
few hours they learned that $50
melted away like snow in Gotham.
They decided there was but one
thing to do! Save on food so they
could see a couple Of shows a day.
Since that time Virginia has never
been able to LOOK at butter cakes
and white beans, because they
discovered they we're cheapest and
most filling, and practically ex-
isted on them for two weeks.
All, but it was a grand adven-
ture! Beans or no beans! In China
town they bought great Chinese
lanterns that wouldn't collapse
and lugged them around for
souvenirs to appease mamma and
papa when they got back. After
several nights of inability to sleep
because there was something
funny" that kept waking them all
the time, the two youngsters dis
