I am not one to think that all men can be completely domestic every second they are away from their office, store or mill. They real ly do have to get out sometimes, with those strange creatures known as "the boys"
 But when your man gets to ex- pressing this urge every free min- ute, leaving you and the children to muddle along the best you can, I think I'd feel like taking a good mashie shot at him, saying Flows that for an approach"
 suppose you get the usual ex- cuse about working all week and needing some fun and providing all the funds for household ex- penses. I used to get it, too. I got mad, picked up some golf clubs, and said to the children, Come on. We're going, too."
 Boys need very desperately to have people to hold on to, their fathers as well as their mothers. I don't mean that they should be too dependent. They must have, how ever, that feeling of surety of meaning something to the family.
 If your husband and son could only take walks together, even though each thinks his own thoughts and they don't get really chummy, it would set the boy up no end. .4,t> Tell your husband that his son is more fun than making hole in one. f Yours sincerely, OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

 Hard work for Miss Pudgy to climb on that fence! But that's what happens to girl who's partial to high-calory foods.
 She follows puffing and breath less where slim friends step lightly and easily. Clothes that flatter their trim lines reveal her bulges. s A shame, when by switching to 1ow-calory foods she can quickly reduce-lose two pounds a week.
 By just taking two peaches for dessert instead of Brown Betty, she can cut 430 calories day.
 And she'd save another 232 by taking for her picnic snack bag of popcorn (only 100 calories) in- stead of peanuts (332 half cup).
 Other changes in diet can be made as easily. Here's typical low-calory dinner: cup tomato juice, 2 hamburger patties, ear of corn and butter, cup spinach, 1 square of gingerbread and black coffee-only 470 calories.
 And your low-calory diet gives you plenty of protective foods, too, leaving you bright-eyed, poppy, as well as slim.
 Our 32-page booklet has 42 low calory menus easy to adapt to fam fly meals, a calory chart and a B. day liquid diet to start your reduc- ing program. Tells how to gain, too,

FOOD IS ENOUGH TO TALK
 ABOUT


 With practiced restraint we re- frain from discussing the physiology of digestion or the fish-iology of indigestion" in these talks about food. Even dietetics and the science of nutrition must be left for con- sideration elsewhere. There are more than enough facts and fallacies concerning food to fill a fat hand book.
 A quack is one who professes skill or knowledge in any matter of which he nows little or nothing. The scientific medicine" of our day is pretty quackish, after all. What is sanctioned as sound and established today becomes a discarded theory tomorrow. Yet, to read or listen to some of our more verbose interpre- ters the unsophisticated layman might conclude that m d Heal science" is all it pretends to be.
 For example, only little while ago 8 balanced diet" meant a daily supply of fair proportions of fat, protein or nitrogenous material and carbohydrate or starches and sugars. The scientific" medical authorities taught that if person received these food materials the quota of calories daily in ratio with the oc- currence of the three food materials in nature, his diet was well balanc- ed. That is, food for normal in- dividual should provide approxi- mately three ounces of fat (yielding approximately 300 calories), three ounces of protein fyielding $50 cal- ories) and fifteen to twenty ounces of carbohydrate (yielding 170O to 2300 calories) in the average days rations.
 But it is no longer permissible to regard diet well balanced merely because it supplies fat, protein and carbohydrate in the natural pro- portion of one, one and five to seven respectively. Neither animal nor man can thrive or even live on a diet supplying these or any other propor- tions of the three food materials unless two other essentials are sup. plACu HI ducQudCc dIuOuIltS, 1ldHlely | mineral salts and vitamins.
 Our knowledge of these food ele- ments is so recent that one can nc longer reply on information relating to food, diet and nutrition which one may find in books or other pub- lications more than ten years old The entire subject of foods and die tetics, and related studies such as physiology, chemistry, hygiene, path ology, has undergone such radical changes in the past five or ten yes. ,. that most of the theories or notions which seemed acceptable a decade ago are now obsolete and in many instances absurd in the light ot newer knowledge. This is true even though many good doctor, unable to keep abreast of progress in this field, still retains the old ideas and endeavors to apply them in practice flor example the quaint medical theory that foods containing nitro- genous or protein material of the purine type has some vague bearing on the hypothetical ailment known as gout or uric acid diathesis."
