That is simple, isn't it?" He said
But it is not only simple. 1t Is also
murderous. Even II you cut down
on your foods, say from 5000 calories
which Is normal-to 1,10O, which is
good for losing weight, it becomes a
dangerous business unless done in
telligently."
The pleasant thing about the mod
ern diet is the use it makes OF the
fact that cutting down the caloric
quantity Of daily intake is not in
variably the same as reducing the
amount Of food We eat. For instance,
62s ounces Of cauliflower is equal,
in the body, to 2la ounces Of onions
or ounces of potatoes. If we want
to take in normal bulk Of food
while losing weight, all that Is neces-
sary is to cut out the foods which
are big quantities in small packages
and stick to those which are small
quantities in big packages.
We psychologists" DR.. Sokolon said,
know that life Is very short and it
is ridiculous to make our life un-
pleasant by eating bad, tasteless food
We think that food should be pleas
ant and stimulating, should contain
good meats or fish. and fresh fruits
and vegetables. Oddly enough, that
is exactly what the man or woman
who wants to reduce should eat"
Menu for Reducing
A sample menu for a reducing day
would be as follows:
Breakfas tadding up to 325 calories)
-One-half large or one small apple
or normal portion of very nearly any
raw fruit and a great many of the
canned fruits that are water-packed.
a serving of oatmeal wetted down with
two ounces of whole milk or any dry
cereal in amounts varying from one
half cup to whole cup, or two boiled
or poached eggs. which may be varied
with one fried in one-quarter ounce
of butter; one slice of bread or one
biscuit, coffee or tea. If you want
teaspoonful of sugar in your coffee
take it instead Of the bread If you
want milk in the coffee, split the two
ounces allowed between it and the
cereal.
Lunch (375 calories)-A portion OF
lean meat or fish, whole cup of
green vegetable, one boiled potato, one
half heart of lettuce. serving of
fruit similar to that for breakfast, a
glass Of skim milk and coffee or tea.
Dinner 1925 calories)-A serving of
clear soup. beef stock or consomme
and the rest exactly like lunch
AN important thing to remember"
said DR.. Sokoloff, lis that this is a
diet calculated to reduce excess weight
and is not for normal living. Although
it has safety value. that is enough
mer President Hoover was the prin-
cipal speaker at Republican rally in
Kansas City. The Municipal Auditorium
was filled with crowd estimated at
10000, showing tremendous interest.
The big tournout for the Republican
meeting showed, it is said. that anti
New Deal sentiment is on the increase
Rally ut Sedalia Flat.
The Democrats staged a great rally
at Sedalia. 1t was the flatest thing
politically that has happened in
score Of years, with only about 1900
at the evening meeting, although all
the major candidates and the Gov
ernor were present. 1t may be that
the Democrats were SO confident of
victory that comparatively few of them
made the effort to attend the meet
ing The Democrats have a tre-
mendously strong organization, cover
ing all parts OF the State.
The farm problem, in the opinion
Of Missouri Democrats, has by no
means been solved. The Missouri
farmers are dissatisfied. They have
participated in every program ad-
vanced by the Department of Agri-
culture except sugar, for Missouri pro-
duces wheat, cotton, corn, tobacco and
potatoes. One result of the dissatis-
faction on the part Of the farmers
has been the complete deflation of
Henry Wallace for President so far as
this State is concerned-even If it
did not have candidate of its own
in the person Of Senator Clark.
