Whut Should You Weigh?

Few women need to be told
when they are overweight. A
glance in the mirror all too plainly
reveals when the slim graceful
contours of the youthful figure
have begun to disappear. But if
you want more specific evidence,
step on the scales.
It is generally held that under
the age of thirty, it is advisable to
weigh from five to ten pounds
more than the average for ones
height and age. But after thirty,
a weight of ten to twenty pounds
below the average is desirable. In
fact, leading authorities now
agree that it is an excellent plan
to endeavor after thirty to main
tain the normal weight for ones
height at age thirty.

Reducing Methods to Avoid
If you have allowed yourself to
become overweight, you should
and can reduce. But you must go
about it in a scientific manner.
Do not put your faith in worth
less or dangerous methods that
either fail to reduce or may cause
you to lose your health faster than
you lose weight.
Never take any sort of drugs for
the purpose of reducing, except
under the advice of your physi-
clan. Many drugs which are said
to speed up bodily activities and
burn up fat may injure the heart,
produce cataracts of the eyes. and
do other serious damage. Other
drugs may have a harmful effect
on the kidneys.
The various fad reducing diets
which women pass about among
themselves are likewise danger

balanced. They may lead to

Rotionol WEIGHT Control

1t0UO1101 "S19Ut OO11UOI
The one scientific method OF
maintaining normal weight or get
ting rid of a surplus is to recog.
nize the fundamental fact that all
body fat originates as surplus fuel.
Thus weight control is chiefly a
matter of regulating the diet so
that the food intake does not ex-
coed the energy expenditure.

Somple Reducing Menus

In planning reducing pro-
gram, it is essential to include in
each days diet adequate amounts
of the protective foods. To help
you plan balanced diet, weeks
sample menus have been included
in my Reducing Bulletin.
Every homemaker who has
passed the age of thirty should
send for this bulletin and use it as
a guide in maintaining normal
weight, or if necessary in getting
rid of excess pounds.
By keeping your weight down,
you may have at least ten years
longer in which to enjoy life. In
becoming master of your fat, you
will truly become master of your
fate.

Counting Culories

The person who has become
markedly overweight as a result
of overeating should put himself
in the hands of a physician, but
the maintenance of normal weight
depends largely upon learning to
count calories. Many people are
puzzled by the word "calorie,"
which is a term of measurement
used to measure both the fuel
value of foods and the body's en-
ergy needs.
For example, tablespoon OF
sugar furnishes so Galleries; a ia.
blespoon of butter, 100 Galleries;
one-fourth of a large head of let
tuce only II calories.
The energy requirement for a
normal adult man engaged in q
sedentary occupation is from 1900
to 1900 calories daily; work done
standing or walking requires up
to 5000 calories daily. A woman
requires from 1000 to $500 CAL
cries daily, depending upon her
activities.
By becoming familiar with the
caloric value of foods, it is posi-
BILE to construct a well-balanced
diet, and at the same time to cut
down on fuel values so that you
consume less energy foods each
day than the body requires. This
will force the body to burn some
of its own fat for fuel and result in
a safe, scientific gradual weight
reduction.
/ shall gladly send readers of
this column a chart showing the
caloric value of all the commonly
used foods.
You will find that by eating 500
calories less each day than the
body expends, you can reduce
your weight a pound week. And
with the chart before you, you
can cut out 500 calories without
even missing them,

Lady Ast0r Leads Britain'S
 "Be-GOOd-TO-Germany Clique
BY MILTON BRONNER (NEA Service Staff Correspondent

'
 London, April 25 - Nancy the Unique" Some day some British historian, writing the human side of British history in the first half of the 20th century, will probably thus characterize that Nancy of the Virginia Langhornes, who mar ried the second Viscount Astor. himself born in America, where the family fortunes were made before some of the beneficiaries moved to England and became members of the titled aristocracy.
 If for nothing else, Lady Astor would have at least two-line place in history because she was the first woman to sit in the House of Commons. In Parlia- ment Nancy Astor soon made place for herself by sheer irrev- erence. In other words, she shocked the staid members by being fresh. She checked them. She Sauced them. On temperance measures, on laws for the good of women and children, on human- tartan things, she often found her. self on the side of Labor and the Liberals against her own Tory party.
 But she was never deep nor pro- found and dint pretend to be. Her arguments sprang from her heart rather than from her head. Her soft Virginian accent modified some of the old boys. And she was and is very personable, although she is now nearing the sixty mark. AL though the Plymouth division she represents in Parliament is largely populated by working people, she has so carefully nursed it that for 19 solid years she has represented it without defeat.
 As if parliamentary career were not enough for woman with large family of children, she has carved out a place for herself as one of the greatest hostesses of Brit ain. Mo- St. James Square, the Astor townhouse, is well known, but more splendid is the country seat, Cliveden, on the heoights above the Thames some thirty miles from Lon don. This magnificent mansion has historical interest, because it was here in 1740 that for the first time Rule Brittania" was sung at an entertainment given by Frederick, Prince of Wales, son of King George

The impact was such that the Kociezewski car spun around and the two automobiles hit head on. The car driven by Coogan also struck a parked car, owned by Wal- lace Dickinson of Elksford, N. Y.

Backed by the great wealth of her husband, reinforced by her own undoubted charm as hostess, Lady Astor has been a favorite in three reigns. It was she who organized a dinner which the late King George Fifth attended with Queen Mary, in order to meet the labor leaders who were eventually to form the first Labor government of England. Both when Prince of Wales and when King Edward VIII, the present Duke of Windsor used to be a ire quent AStor guest.
 And only recently Lady Astor threw big party for aristocratic kids, which was attended by Queen Elizabeth and Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret.
 In the last year or so, Lady As tor and all the British Astors have

entered international politics. They became firm friends with Ribben- trop, now Nazi foreign minister, who was then German ambassador to England. Lady Astor, the hostess, in effect presented" the suave Nazi-saluting Ribbentrop to an in- fluential section of British life.
 The Astor family took a decided pro-Nazi slant. Solemn J.. L.

 But the best work for the pro- Germans was done by Lady Astor herself in her frequent parties. Hither came Lord Halifax, now for eign minister. Here came the Mar guess of Lothian, former Liberal, now one of the leaders of the be- nice-to- school. Prime Minister Chamberlain and wife were weekend guests. This became so much the case that people began talking of the "Cliveden set" Lary Astor does not often retort to the papers, but some of this stung her. She denied that there was a Cliveden set. She also denied that she was anti-Jewish.
