 You turn the page quickly every time you see an article on reduc- ing. You hate the way you look in sweaters. And you are just about ready to scream at the next person who says, "But of course you could gain weight if you wanted to-"
 In other words, you are too thin. You've known 1t for a long time, but you haven't really wor- ried much about 1t until recently when you noticed that practically all of the smartest spring clothes are designed for well-rounded fig ures. You hear talk on all sides about the importance of the high bosomed, small wasted silhouette with rounded - not flat and boy- ish-hips. Now, however, you determine to solve your problem.
 Step number one in the right direction is a trip to your family doctor. Have a thorough physical examination and do discuss your diet with him. If you have noth- ing organically wrong and can VI B0AAA1S yVuk AA4G W 4AVW AOk AAO less than nine hours sleep out of every twenty-four, there's no rea- son why you cannot put on a few pounds between now and Easter and several more before time to buy fall clothes next September.
 
 Rest, rest and more rest is what you need. If you can sleep an hour after lunch, by all means do 1t, then sleep eight hours at night. If nap during the day is impossible, get your nine hours at night. You need exercise, too. Otherwise, you won't have enough appetite to eat three meals e day and @ little some- thing between meals.

 Tn addition to getting more sleep and rest and enough exercise to whet your appetite, try to work out some kind of schedule that will make day in and day out li' 8 simpler, quieter and easier. You may be able to eliminate some of the unnecessary jobs you only think are important and thus have more time to do the thinks you must.
 Don't make more appointments can handle without "going all to and dates in one week than you pieces" Assemble your spring wardrobe a litle at a time in- stead of waiting until the Thurs day before Easter to start shop ping. Don't leave packing until the night before you have to catch the train for a trip. Save yourself worry over trifles.

gargle for this purpose may be pre- pa,5ed by dissolving a rounded tea spoonful of powdered alum in about six ounces q 1-2 teacupfuls) of bar- ley water, in half pint (8-ounce) bottle, and filling the bottle up with honey favored with rose extract. The singer or speaker may gargle with this shortly before the program and once or twice in the course of long program.
 Some old time gargles are now, happily, passing from memory, among them Dobell,s solution, Mol tons solution, Sellers solution-all pretty punk medicine, if you ask me. all well superseded, I should say, by the simple solutions I have suggested earlier-rounded tea spoonful of table salt dissolved in pint of boiled water, or about one- half teaspoonful of tincture of io- dine in a pint of water.
 The last mentioned, iodine solu- tion, is the only one I'd bother to use in any circumstance.
 Cottonseed Oil
 Has cottonseed oil and its deriva- tives real food value? (H. E. Go
 Answer-It has nutritive value (calories) equivalent to that of olive oil, corn oil, peanut oil, sesame oil or cocoanut oil, either of which yields approximately 200 calories per ounce.
 Roquefort Cheese
 Has Roquefort cheese any food value, or is it harmful if eaten too often or in too large quantities? l crave 1t almost every day-I mix a quarter pound imported Roquefort with two packages of cream cheese and cream to thin it out. suppose 1t is terribly fattening. (R. O.
 Answer-Roquefort contains less fat, yields less calories than Swiss cheese or American cheese, It is perfectly healthful food to take as regularly and freely as you like.
 Mineral Oil Q Foreign Substance
 You said there is some reason to question whether mineral oil spray, inhalent or drops used in the nose are a safe medication. Is mineral oil harmful when taken internally? (Mrs. A. M. K0
 Answer-Mineral oil is not digest ible nor absorbable, and hence may accumulate or lodge in the body as foreign substance. In my judg- ment the notion that 1t has any remedial value is wrong.

GARGLING

Doctors know that belchers who derive the greatest satisfaction from belching, if possible audibly, are air swallowers, interpretive individuals obsessed with the notion that "gas," in the stomach is dangerous, as 1t may press on the heart; or perhaps persons with the acid dyspepsia obsession who take enough sodium bicarbonate to insure generation of sufficient gas to serve. the purpose. Still, if you derive any comfort or satisfaction from belching, gas or air, there is no great harm in 1t, provided you do not annoy or dis turb the neighbors.
 I am sorry I can't say that about gargling. For example, it is clearly contrary to the principles of medi- cine and surgery to gargle with anything when you have quinsy, abscess around the tonsil. REST is the best remedy in such a case until the abscess is properly drained. The less gargling, talking, swallow ing or other disturbance of the ir- famed throat the better. Gentle use of an agreeable mouth wash may give some comfort, but never 8 gargle.
 If it is unwise to gargle in the presence or quinsy, it would seem questionable whether gargling can do any good in any acute infam- nation or sore throat. Certainly no "antiseptic" gargle can check or modify the course of the illness af- ter the germs have invaded the tis- sues, although an antiseptic gargle may help to prevent spread of the infection to other persons.
 Gargles often give relief in con- ditions other than acute sore throat.
 Singers and speakers commonly use suitable gargle to prevent roughness or hoarseness. A good

Move to Rule Pacific

CHUNGKING. China, Feb. 13 Lp
-Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
warned Saturday night that Japa-
nese domination of Hainan Isla.l ID
would mean the beginning of Japa-
neSe domination of the Pacific"
The Chinese leader declared in
an interview it would strike heavily
against the United STATES, Great
Britain and France.
Chang declared that Japanese
possession of Hainan would mark
the beginning of broken British
communications between Hong
Kong, Singapore and Australia. He
said it would be threat to United
States and British naval bases at
Hawaii and Singapore" and ex-
pressed belief that it was therefore
Japan's reply to the visit of United
States warships to Singapore last
year."
Chang said he believed Japan
wanted to create q strategic triangle
with its points at Hainan, Shakhalin
Island and Guam and warned that
If it were established it would mean
that Hawaii and the Philippines
were as good as Japanese-occupied.'
Sakhalin, half Soviet Russian and
half japanese, lies north of the
Japanese island of Hokkaido, of the
coast of Siberia. Gaum, q United
States possession, is almost due

W.P.A. Aides Ordered
To Drop Political
Posts or Quit Jobs
Steps Token in Some
Stotes to Obey
Congress Act

~s~A~S ~ WV
Congress Act
BY the Associated Press.
w. p. A. officials said today some
State administrators have ordered
aides who filled political posts as
county committeeman to resign
from these committees, or give up
their w. p. A. positions.
These orders, they said, were in
line with instructions from head
quarters here for complying with the
mo politics in relief" provisions OF
the act Congress passed in appro-
priating an additional $725 900 900
for relief this year.
The instructions laid particular
stress, officials said, on sections pro-
hibiting w. P. A. administrative
workers from participating in or
directing any political activity.
Meanwhile, a highly influential
group In Congress continued its hunt
for a new formula to apply to the
whole relief problem.
Both Democrats and Republicans
are participating, and they have
several different ideas for changing
the present form of the Works
Progress Administration.
Discussion started before the re-
cent row over how much money
should be given w. P. A. That
dispute and President Roosevelt's s
new demand for the $l50,OOO 900
slashed by Congress gave fresh i'm
petus to the search.
Thus far two definite plans
have been brought out. One was
produced by Senator Byrnes, DEM
ocrat, Of South Carolina and his
special committee after their in
vestigation of unemployment and
relief. The other came from Rep
resentative Woodrum, Democrat, OF
Virginia. chairman of a House sub
committee which handles relief ap-
propriations.
Two Ideas Far Apart.
The two ideas are far apart, but
they are being used as a basis for
compromise.
The Byrnes plan would increase
unemployment compensation pay
ments under the Social Security Act
and also set up a new department
of public works to take over activi-
ties of w. P. A., P. w. A., the Bureau
of Public Roads and the Construc-
ton Division of the Treasury.
The Woodrum measure would trim
the relief appropriation for the next
year and bring the States back into
the administrative picture.
Members engaged in the search
voice deep concern over the extent
of politics in relief" in the last
campaign, as depicted by the recent
report of the Senate Campaign In
veStigating Committee.
Republicans. for their part, began
the session in the House with a de-
mand for small appropriation to
carry on w. P. A. until a thorough
revision of the agency's setup could
be worked out. They proposed that
administration be returned to the
States.
