Set A Limit To
Excess POundaQe

It's simple matter TO lose Two
OF three pounds. but a tedious
job indeed to try to take off ten.
Knowing this. the woman who Is
determined to remain slender de-
cides at 80 just how much she
wants to weigh the rest of her life.
When her weight goes more than
two pounds above that figure, she
Immediately takes steps to lose the
excess poundage.
BY sensible dieting she finds It
possible to lose two pounds. or
even three, within three weeks.
She simply eliminates sweets, in
GLIDING dessert, from her daily
diet, has only soup, green salad,
one thin slice of toast and bev-
erage for lunch and eats only one
portion Of everything on the din
ner menu. II hungry between
meals. she nibbles fruit instead Of
pastry or some other calory-rich
food.
II. during convalescense after an
illness. or after having a baby,
she finds that she has gained a
great deal OF weight. she consults
her family doctor about the pos
sibility of reducing without en-
dangering her health. With his
help. she plans diet or system
OF exercises or combination OF both.
OBESITY is NEVER
ATTRACTIVE
Few and far between are cases
where the doctor wants any pa
tent to remain 20 or 80 pounds
overweight. Among mature per-
sons. it's rare indeed when obesity
is considered to be an asset to
health. It never is an asset to
good looks.
No doctor or. for that matter.
no reputable beauty expert, be-
lieves In starvation diets or in fad
diets. Don't be persuaded to live
for days on nothing except butter
milk and bananas or one kind OF
meat and one fruit or three diff
ferent beverages.
A one-day liquid diet won't hurt
anyone. But it's a mistake even to
try fad diet or to stay on liquids
for more than two days without
first consulting doctor.

Bear in mind this: Tacoma-built

And the ss-foot geodetie vessel

But you know how Uncle Sam

Now bodybuilding Ia a game of

with. Nothing In square. nothing
is the same twice. nothing's moth
ing and it's all quite a mess to
anybody except the expert and
even they die young.
So just to make things really
tough. the survey boat will be built
on the following procedure: The
individual pieces of wood will be
fashioned by the Martinac ship
wrights. then shipped off to a con-
Germ in Oregon for a very special
and highly technical preserving
process (wolmanizing) and then
returned here for assembly.
Catch In the deal is that you

AN OPEN LETTER
TO SPORTS FANS
TOO MUCH FRIENDSHIP

Sports Editor, The Citizen:
To the diamondban fans of
Key West:
There appeared in the column.
Diamond Gleanings'', in The
Citizen yesterday, paragraph
concerning the writer wearing
uniforms of every Softball team
and always being a bench-warm-
er.
It is true / was a bench warmer
but it was through the managers
who showed too much friendship
for other players.
There is a lot Of diamOndball
talent in Key West that would
appear before the public but the
wculd-be players are afraid they
would be bench warmers and not
have a chance to show their abil-
Ity because of the existing
friendship between certain man
ayers and players.
