importance of Correct Diet

importance Of Correct Diet
On the other hand, thousands of
Americans are unknOwingly inn
pairing their efficiency and short
ening their lives through the mis-
use of food. They are eating the
wrong kind of fOOd-and what is
equally disastrOus-they are over
eating! They do not seem to real
ize that eating too much does not
strengthen the body. but exhausts
it with the labors of digestion.
The surplus nOurishment clogs the
system and may be indirectly re-
spOnsible for headache, dyspep-
sia, biliousness and mental dullness.
Unless they change their habits
of eating, they will inevitably be-
come victims of their own indis-
cretions. For while it is folly to
neglect the health at any age, to
do so in middle life is to open
the way to an early death or to an
old age marred by sickness.

Two-Piecer With Jacket Blouse.
This charming fashion is ex-

rials in which you make it up.
The skirt is slim and plain. The

make it of wool crepe, flannel or

satin, velvet or silver cloth for the
jacket blouse.
With Smart, Slenderizing Lines.
Notice that the front panel of
the skirt is cut in one with the
midrif section-that's a smart de-
tail that you see in expensive mod

women. You can trust the suave,
slick lines of this dress to make
you look several pounds simmer.

Keep Down the Weiqht

NSSH 1@"N iliS
The first Is years of mans life
are devoted to growth. During
this period of youth, the body usu-
ally has a large fund of reserve
energy which can be called upon
in times of stress. During the next
Is or 80 years, the weight should
remain constant. If the diet is
properly regulated, and sound
habits of hygiene are followed, a
man or woman will come into
middle age full of vigor and with
mental and physical capacities
undiminished.
Unfortunately, however, the
laws of hygiene and nutrition are
often broken during the active
middle years. AS a result, bodily
reserves are depleted and middle
age finds many men and women
near the danger line, no longer
able to resist infections and the
degenerative diseases.
That is why it is so desirable
if you hope to be vigorous at SO
and after-that you begin to plan
for it many years earlier.
Live sensibly. Avoid overwork.
Regularly take moderate
amount of exercise. Get enough
sleep so that you avoid that chron-
ic "tired feeling" Above all. eat
enough, but not too much, of
the foods that build and maintain
health: milk; eggs; fruits and
vegetables; protein foods in

A low spade was returned, and West again discarded, this time a diamond. South now knew by his count that East had original ly held six spades and four hearts, and thus only three cards in dia- monds and clubs. A low diamond was played, and East's king dropped under the ace in the declarer's hand. The heart queen was cashed, and West discarded club. Declar- CT next led the diamond ten, West ducked, and it held the trick. The diamonds were cashed and East gave up his established spades. A low club was now led from dummy, which West won, but the last two tricks were won with dummy's ace and ten. The extra trick won by the careful count gave the declarer a "top" on the board.
