Glou1ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

The woman wno IS so many pounds overweight that the very idea of trying to lose them seems hopeless task, may very well find encouragement in the story of Mary Eastman, popular radio singer.
 Eight months ago, the 27-year- old star, who comes from Kansas City, Marion Talley's home town, weighed 148 pounds. Her hips measured 36 inches; waistline 28; bust 36; thighs 24; forearm 12.
 Now, after sticking to sensible diet, approved by her doctor, do- ing exercises for twenty minutes and walking one mile every day, Miss Castmanu weighs 116 pounds Her hips measure 31 inches; waist "A; bust 32; thighs 21 1-2; fore arm 10.
 HER METHOD NOT FATIGUING
 Furthermore, simply because she went about the business of reducing in an intelligent man. ner, attaching as much import ance to exercise as to diet, her flesh is firm and youthful, eyes clear and sparkling. She isn't nervous or habitually tired, as she might have been had she gone on a starvation diet or a fad diet and neglected exercises completely. Here are directions for doing some of the exercises Miss East man found to be specially aff1- caciouS:
 Stand with feet about six inches apart. Turn body to the right as far as possible, meanwhile stretch ing left arm high above head and stretching right hand toward the floor. Reverse and repeat, turning body to the left, raising right hand, bending and stretching left hand toward the floor.
 Sit on the floor with ankles to- gether, backbone straight. Bend ing from the waistline, meanwhile keep head erect, touch the toes of left foot with the palm of right hand. Return to original position, touch right toes with palm of left hand.
 Stand behind a straight chair with fingertips resting lightly along the top of it. Keeping backbone straight, lower the body to a squat ting position, then rise quickly to standing position. Repeat five times the first day, six the second, seven the third, and so on until you are doing the exercise twenty times a day.
 To reduct the forearms, stand erect with your chest high and head up, holding arms absolutely perpendicular to the body. Then pump arms back and forth - in bellows-like fashion. Feel the mus cles between elbows and shoulders stretch and pull and watch for marked flexing of the biceps, the area you want to put into action.
 To slenderize waistline and dia- phragm and make muscles of the legs firm, here is 8 fine routine, approved by Mary Eastman and recommended by the outstanding exercise teachers:
 Lit flat on the floor with arms at sides, ankles touching. With out moving arms and keeping ankles together, lift both legs up- ward until they are perpendicu- lar to your body. Hold the po- sition three seconds, then slowly lower legs to the floor. The more. slowly both steps are done, the. better. Repeat three times the

society to explain why he lost certain case x. but, alas, no suck inquistion ever occurs. A medical society may summon a physician before it only to defend himself against a formal charge of tnathi- cal or Ilnprofessional conduct.
 still another contributor suggest. ed that one should select only physician who has shown himself competent in the past and acceptr able by the standards of. reliable, critical, intelligent patients. That is not a bad criterion, but It. rather leaves the young physician out in the cold.
 Another participant would rely mainly on the knowledge that tho doctor in question never advertises That is one good sign, of course, although a doctor may be an egre. gious quack yet never advertise in the ordinary sense of the word.
 Several contestants pointed out the fact that . doctor of good standing does not insist on the pa- tient patronizing particular drug gist nor have the name of .. drug gist on his prescription blank. Sev- eral others said that an honest doc- tor, if he wishes the patient to use some proprietary or patent" lnedi. cine tells the patient the name ot the medicine and lets him obtain it where he finds 1t, instead of writ ing it in prescription form and making the patinet pay an addi- tional fee for the formality. That is the simple truth.

Of Interest To Women

Have you a household problem to solve? Write your question clearly, sign your name and ad- dress, enclose a three-cent post age stamp and mail to The W0man's Editor, Washington Service Bureau. The Democrat, 1913 Thirteenth Street, Washing ton, D. C., for a personal reply.
 o. What are the principal ingre- dients in Haggis, the national dish of Scotland?
 A. It consists of the heart, lungs and liver of sheep or calves, minced with suet and oatmeal, sea- soned with pepper, salt, and onion. and boiled, like large sausage, in the maw or stomach of the animal.
 @. Is it safe to give babies un- boiled water when away from home?

child was held at least partly re- sponsible for the younger ones in line.
 Today we think it a sort of tyranny to wish the care or reSpon- sibility of younger children on their older sisters and brothers. It is con- sidered something beautiful if an older child even treats his small sis ter or brother kindly. Hasn't he his own work to do? Isn't he entitled to his freedom? Who would be so thoughtleSs as to expect a bigger brother to stay in with little brother and let mother and dad go out?
 Not long ago I heard young girl of fourteen insist on her mother going to a show. cITl stay with Buddy" she offered. You and Dad go."
 But you want to see 1t, too," said her mother. "This is the last night. IT you can't go won't enjoy it at all. I guess we'll all stay home."
 Mothers Interest First
 Jeanette insisted. It had been a long time Slnce naQ nearQ a CnlIu put her mothers interest first. My own do, but then they are older.
 I don't of course, believe in the slavery of little mothers" meaning children of tender age lugging babies around all day, when they should be playing. This, I think, goes without saying. But do deplore the fact that times have so com- pletely changed that teen-agers do very little fathering and mother ing. Perhaps 1t is not necessary in many homes for these blithe adoleS- cents to change didieS or wheel prams: but 1t is the time to insist on their cooperation at least with their little sisters and brothers. A little responsibility in this direc- tior is a maturing influence. Be- sdes. 1t teaches kindness and con- sidefnti0n. It is one of the respon- abilities of the first born to de- pe4id6nts.

Improvements in the United
