Now that summer is gone, we can
look back and see that it did have
n few good points although we were
inclined to overlook them in our
struggle to keep cool. It's an i'll
wind, you know, that blows nobody
any good and doctors say that the
end of summer leaves us in better
health than we are at any other
time of the year. In summer we
nave mor fresh air, more outdoor
exercise, more fresh fruits and yege-
tables than we arc accustomed to,
and as a result we are fit. My
Ooint today is that since we are
surfing the winter in the pink of
condition, Thy not make a continued
effort to keep up that glowing health
all through the year.
Watch Your Winter Diet
Just because the cool snap stimu-
lates your appetite, you don't have
to fill up on sweets, starches and
other heavy foods. The fact that
you get less exercise in winter is all
the more reason to avoid the more
f|attening foods. Once you get ac-
customed to the idea, you'll find a
baked apple as satisfying and sus-
tanning as a %deep-dish pie, and a
good deal more healthful.
And, too, there's no need to give
up exercise entirely just because it
is too late for swimming, tennis and
the usual outdoor sports. There
is no one form of exercise more gen
orally beneficial than walking. If
you can't find time during the day
10 take a walk, get up a bit earlier
and walk to work or part way down
town. Or go for a brisk walk after
dinner. Hardly anything induces
sleep better than a walk in the cool
air at bedtime. And speaking of
bedtime, don't let the round of win
Ter gayety rob you of your much

Cleveland Names Two New

an "off year" election that saw

Stephen t. Early, a presidential sec

tune Wnen an important vote was

know whether the President had yet
read Molotoff's remarks. He asserted
that he himself lad read them in the
press, however, adding:
IL wonder whether the remarks of
yesterday were purely cOincidental.
The Russian negotiations with Fin

Sc crecy over a period Of about

London Nov 1-(AP)-The Bri-

due to reduced imports from Euro
pean sources. This will be the first
rationing Of fcodstuffs since the war
started, on this island, which nor
mally produces less than half of what
its inhabitants eat.
Food Minister w. S. Morrison said
the exact date for start of the plan
would be announced later Each con-
sumner will register with a retailer
and receive rations books.
Morrison said that the government
expects supplies of both butter and
bacon to increase later on. If they
continue at the present rate, they
said, the rations will be four ounces
a week for each individual consumer
"a pound of bacon and a pound Of
butter for a family of four persons.
Consumers also are to register for
sugar ratiOning, Morrison said. He
explained that consumers would find
the ration books had coupons for
meat, margarine and cooking fats"
and many foodstuffs which might
later be added to the rationing plan.
