"Just a teensy-weensy bit" sighs Mrs. Plump when her hostess offers a tempting dish.
 Poor Mrs. Plump thinks that by taking little helpings, avoiding "sec- onds" she'll get slim. But that's not the way 1t works. To reduce you cut down on calories. not portions - because foods vary in calory con- tent
 For less than the 435 calories in one modest serving of Brown Bet ty with hard sauce you could have a whole delicious luncheon of low calory foods. Tomato and shrimp salad with reducer's mayonnaise is only 60 calories; 2 slices melba toast, 30; and 1-2 cantaloupe, 50 Only 190 calories!
 By just keeping your calories down to 1900 a day you lose 2 pounds a week. And with a calory chart at your elbow you'll learn to pass up dishes like split pea soup (167 calories a cup), macaroni with tomato sauce (226 cup). Instead take consomme (25 cup), tomato stuffed with bread crumbs and ham GOO calories).

THE MAIN CAUSES OF
 DIABETES

Emotional or nervous disposition, formerly regarded as a factor Of dla- betes, is not so regarded today. More Jews past forty have diabetes than any other people-not because they are of nervous or emotional dispo- sition but because they live too well that is, they eat too much and get too little exercise. Perhaps the dia. bette potentiality or tendency is more commonly passed to children of Jewish parents because Jewish people intermarry. Remember, 1t has been estimated that 25 per cent of the entire population of this country now carry the potentiality or tendency to diabetes.
 That diabetes is in most in. stances luxury disease is suggested by one of the older authorities, Won Noorden, who found that in London and Berlin there were more cases among the upper ten thousand than among the lower hundred thousand inhabitants. Moreover, in most in- stances diabetes develops after the age of fifty years, when the man or woman is likely, if circumstances permit, to take life easy, so far as physical exertion goes.
 pr. Osler, scarcely an authority from the present point of view, was nevertheless a wise observer. In his Practice Of Medicine" he said 'The combination of intense ap- plication to business, over-indul- gence in food and drink, with a sedentary life, seems particularly prone to produce the disease"
 Dr. Brady, scarcely an authority about anything at any time, would strike out the nonsense about "in. tense application to business" and assure you the rest of Osler's obser- vation is unchanged in effect. h. tense application to business, finan- cial responsibilities and all that quaint Yankee malarkey is all very well in a novel or movie but not in medical literature.
 The more we learn about dia- betes the more apparent does it be- come that the important causes are those already considered:
 1. Inheritance of the tendency or potentiality, deficiency either in the organic structure of the islands of Langerhans or in the internal secretory capacity of these cell groups.
 2. Overeating, especially of re- fined carbohydrates, that is, foods rich in starch or sugar but deprived of most of the vitamin B complex that grew in the food-for ex- ample. refined white flour.
 3. Lack of daily exercise, physi- cal work or play.
 {. Tn consequence of overeating and insufficient exercise, accumu- lation of stacker flesh, excess weight. obesity. after thirty-five.
 In emphasizing the importance of these factors of diabetes I dc not mean to deny that in some if- stances other factors are concern. ed. These are nevertheless the causes every adult concerned about diabetes should consider. Diabetei in children is question entirei, beyond my province-that Is. I car offer no general suggestions or ad. vice about 1t. because in every in. stance it Is an individual problem which demands the personal cafl Of the family physician.

WOMAN,S REALM :
Weekend Togs Are at Home Anywhere
BY MARIAN YOUNG
NEA servIOe staff COrrespondenl

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 New York.-You don't say, "Oh, wish Agatha had asked us for next weekend instead of this. bought country clothes to wear to Jane's last weekend and now I have to go right out and buy something for the beach,"
 Not at all.
 If you're half as good at plan ming a wardrobe for summer week. ends as we think you are, your clothes will be right for beach or country and the suburbs as well.
 You'll start by buying one of the new weekend coats. Nothing so pfac- tical has been created by designers since we don't know when.
 Your weekend coat may be cot ton corduroy or lightweight chin chilla cloth. or gabardine or linen. It may be scarlet (the favorite), navy blue, white or honey beige. Bat, regardless of its fabric and color, 1t will be brief and boxy and unlined. And it will go over everything you'll need for a WeckCIlu, 1IOILl oldCho VI ollVi CD W dinner dresses or evening gowns. IN CLOTHES, HOPE
 FOR TWO-TIMING
 You'll wear your weekend coat over the town print or sheer in which you arrive by car, train or plane. From then on, you'll keep 1t handy to wear after tennis, while walking in the woods, sitting on the cool terrace after a swim, riding in rumble seat, driving to a neigh bors farm for dinner and so on and on and on and, on.
 Once you have the coat you'll look for slacks and A shirt which are every bit as appropriate in the country as they are on the beach. The play suit which has match ing skirt is a more practical bet than the one which includes only shorts and a shirt or halter. The former, plus the skirt, can double as a dress. And you'll see that it does-often.
 Your scarves and other access sories won't be so laden with em- broidered anchors and sea-going motifs that you'll feel silly in them anywhere except on a beach. Everything you buy will be wearable every weekend at anybody's house.

 O. How often should the baby's diapers be boiledp
 A. At least twice a week. Change the diapers as soon as they are wet or soiled. A large covered enamel pail should be used for the wet dia- pers until washing time. A table, spoonful of borax to a quart of water makes an excellent solution to keep wet diapers in. Little scruonlng brushes can be used to brush the stools of the soiled diaper into the toilet. or 1t can be cleansed under a toilet flush: then rinsed and put into the pail to be washed out care- fully with the others. Keep flies away from soiled garments. Wash the diapers with a mild white soap and rinse out all the soap carefully with warm water. White enamel garbage cans make excellent storage receptacles for diapers.

THE WOMEN-- Head Start Of Beauty Didn't Carry Sue Far Through Life

in the knowledge that she was once the most popular and best looking girl in town.
 Sue married just before she was nineteen a good-looking young man that all the girls were crazy about. But his good looks and his personality haven't taken him very far in business. He is any, thing but a success, and Sue is noting but his wife. She doesn't know any more than she did at eighteen: she hasn't matured. And, of course, she isn't as pretty as she was then.
 Mary went on to college, where she took part in activities, made good enough grades, and gained a lot of self-confidence. She work ed for three years and in that time was promoted twice.
 Then at twenty-five she mar ried an up-and-coming young business man she met through business, quit her job, and set tied down to make a success of being a wife.
 She is sitting pretty today - from almost any woman's point of view. She has a number of real friends, for not being beautiful she always put herself out to be good company. She has acquired excellent taste, which has turned her into a looking smartly- dressed young woman, and her home into a pleasant, attractive place.

Health Officer Urges
Drive On Rats, Mice

DR.. v. L. Elliott, county health
officer, this week urged campaign
against rats and mice as diseaso
carriers. His statement follows.
Gratis and mice have long been
considered an enemy to public
health because of their part in tho
transmission of bubonic plague
Studies recently reported by the
U. S. Public Health Service state
that the form of typhus fever en-.
demic in the United States is con-
veyed to man by f1eas infected
from rats. The damage done by
rats in warehouses, stores and
homes amounts to millions of dol
lars each year, SO that all we have
strong case against this rodent.
"Of the various methods of rat
control Graphing, poisoning, etc.
the rat proofing of buildings and
the protection of food stuffs are the
most important. Rats will not stay
unless they have food supply and
a safe passage from this to safe
harbor."

Stephen Foster
Film Coming To
Rockville Theatre
Story Of Great SOngster
Due Sunday; New Douglas
Movie Shows Feb. Is

"Swanee River" the movie story
of Stephen C. Foster, the great
American troubadour will be pre-
scented at the Milo Theatre on Sun
day, February II. Foster was the
creator of the famous "The Old
Folks At Home" "Old Black Joe,"
"My Old Kentucky Home" and
many other great songs.
"Swanee River" Technicolor
film, combines his immortal melo-
dies with the romantic drama Of
his life. Don Ameche portrays the
great songwriter, with Andrea
Leeds as his sweetheart and wife
Jane Mcdowell, for whom Foster
wrote "Jeanie with the Light
Brown Hair"
Fosters life contained all the
dramatic ingredients = romance,
comedy and color = that go into
the making of a great picture.
Makers of the film declare that
few liberties were taken with the
facts, for there was no need to do
more than portray them faithfully.
The picture tells of the days when
minstrels and river boats were
popular. 1t shows Fosters happy
young manhood, his early struggles,
the introduction of his songs by
Christy's Minstrels, his meeting
and marriage with Jane and his
rise to fame and happiness.
But it also shows his emotional
instability, his disillusions and dis
disappointments, his gradual disin-
tegration and eventual death in a
shabby Bowery rooming house.
On Thursday, February Is, the
Milo will present disputed Pas
sage" screen version OF the story
by Lloyd C. Douglas. This film is
the fourth of the same author to
be made into major screen produc-
lions. The first was his "Magni-
ficent Obsession."
Douglas has risen from an OBJ
scure country minister to one Of
Americas most popular novelists.
His new picture, which mirrors a
young doctors struggle between
his devotion to pure science and his
emotional need for love, is filled
with the soul-searching conflict and
gentle mysticism that have marked
all Douglas stories.
In the films cast are such stars
as Dorothy Lamour, Akin Tamir-
off and John Howard.
