Glorying Yourself

 Capes, peplums and tiered skirts are important this fall -a are you slender enough to wear them? Ii not, waste no time in self-pity. There's an answer in your diet, whatever your weight is now. I've just come across a spectacular re- hinder of that fact, in sedate scientific journal.
 A woman of 35 has redued her bulk by 300 poundsl She did It solely by dieting under medical supervision. It took her twenty months - but, girls, that's losing 16 and 2-3 pounds a month. The story is in the current Journal of the American Medical Association. The doctor in the case declares that ANYbody can take it off, and be healthier and happier for do- ing so. I'll take his word for that, for his report concerns the woman who began with exactly 479 pounds. She came down to 175.
 CUT DOWN FOOD
 BODY DOESN'T NEED
 So if your hips, thighs or shoul- ders are heavy, why not count your calories? That's safer than try ing out some friends pet scheme or a magic" paste or potion. Exer- else will help, but the basic busi- ness is what you eat. When you consume more food than your body needs, you store up fat - It's as simple as that.
 Of course, don't starye yourself. Before you begin cutting down, be sure you know your proteins, vitamins and minerals, and how much of each you need daily. -ts best first to get some scientific ad- vice on your own reducing prob- lens from your physician.
 Slight reductions can be ob- tained simply and quickly by diet ing. Eliminate fat and starchy foods, and you have a leaner menu all at once. You can be perfectly adequately fed on 1900 calories a day-the woman mentioned above, who stayed in bed, got only 500 to 900. Just to start you think ing, here's a typical days fare for an active reducing regimen. For breakfast, one orange, an egg, half glass of milk, and either one slice of buttered whole wheat bread or oatmeal with one teaspoon of sugar.
 Lunch includes a small serving of lean meat and potato, three portions of vegetables, ore slice of bread with one pat of butter, and a portion of fruit. And you get the same portions of the same kinds of food at dinner except that instead of potato you have another half a glass of milk.

 o. HOW may I can fruits without sugar.
 A. Juicy fruits, such as berries, cherries, entrants, and plums, should be canned in their own juices with no water added when sugar is omitted. Extract the juice from the riper fruits by crushing, heating, and straining. Pack the remaining fruits closely into containers with out preheating and add boiling hot juice to cover. Partially seal the jars: or exhaust tin cans and seal them; then process. Another method is to give the fruits short precooking, as 2 to minutes sim mering, pour into containers at once, seal, and process. The less juicy fruits, such as apples, peaches, and pears, when canned without sugar, require the addition of water. To preserve the natural fruit flavor. use the least possible amount of water. Follow the directions Tor canning, substituting water in place of the sirup.
 O. How should clothing be boiled?
 A. wiring the clothes from the wash water, place in fresh, hot, soapy water, and boil them for 5 to 10 minutes. Longer bailing has a ten dency to turn white fabrics yellow. If the clothes are very dirty or yel- lowed, kerosene or turpentine may be added in the proportion of to 6 tablespoons for a boilerful of water. The clothes must then be thoroughly rinsed in order to remove the odor. Kerosene and turpentine are highly inflamTnable.

zULh century FOX Films has made 8 superb motion picture from an outstanding novel, this being the opinion of audiences attending the opening day performances yesterday of Wild Geese Calling'' at the Loew Poli Theater. This is the screen adaptation of the famogls best-selling novel by Stweart Ed- ward White.
 Co-Starred in this great adventure story of the Northwest are Henry Fonda as two-flsted lumberjack with a love fer the outdoors, and lovely Joan Bennett as queen of the Alaskan dance halls. Warren Wil- liam and Ona Munson head an outstanding supporting cast offa- vorites.
 The second smash hit on the pro- gram is "Dr. Kildare's Wedding Day" featuring Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore and Laraine Day, with Nils Asther noted American and Scandinavian screen star, appearing as guest star in the newest of the series. This new Kildare hit deals with a famous symphony conductor whose increasing deafness furnishes a baffling problem for the pfysi- clans. A counterplot in which the young doctor faces and cOnquers tragedy and the youthful romance of the older doctor is disclosed. brings in 8 symphony concert epi- sode in which Barryznore's own composition is played.
 An extra added attraction Is the showing of Walt Disney's latest Donald Duck short. '-Truant OfaceF Donald"

A NUDGE TO NEURAsTHENICs

A NUDGE TO NEURASTHENTCS
 Where the conductor of this col umn erred tactically was in classify ing ,em as Glass A and Glass B neurotics. Had he labeled lem as neurasthenics instead, and then left 'em to play along with their whimsey for 8 time before depriving them of 1t, he might have held their in terest long enough to do 'em some good.
 Many persons under the stigma of neuroticism owe their condition largely to two characteristics, namely, ignorance of the wiseacre sort and stinginess-they're too ig- norant and too stingy togo to a good doctor, leave nerves" out of the in-. terview, and have a proper medical examination to find out what is the matter.
 The particular kind of ignorance to which I refer is just that bring ing nerves" or nervous weakness" or nervous exhaustion" or nerve strain" into the interview with the physician. As long as this notion of nerves" or Hack of nerve energy" is seriously accepted as accounting for any impairment of health or functional ailment there is little likelihood of material benefit from treatment.
 At this point, expect, a good many Class good many wiSeacres will ask querulously what in tarnation does all them if it isn't bad nerves. And to that rhetorical or hypothetical question I reply, That is for your physician to try to discover"
 Now I'll stand on the sidelines while distinguished authority on nutrition holds forth--and his words constitute the nudge to neurasthen- ics:
 Tension and irritable weakness states, frequently alluded to as neur- asthenia and nervous exhaustion, are manifested in complaints of fatig- ability, weakness and exhaustibility, head pressures, poor sleep, irritabil- ity, feeling of tenseness, inappetence, various aches and pains, subjectively poor memory, and difficulty with concentration the etiology (cause) of this condition is not clear
 With diet poor in vitamin B1 Jolliffe and his co-workers were able to produce neurasthenic syndrome (pronounced sin-dro-me, accent on first syllable, means a group of such signs and symptoms as above de- scribed) in four out of five experi- mental subjects (interns), who com plained of fatigue, lassitude, anor- exia, precordial Cover the heart) pain, burning of the feet, dyspnea

 Some husbands leave their wives behind when they make their buSi- ness or profession the one absorb ing interest in their lives. They leave their wives to entertain them selves as best they can and use their homes just as they would use hotel.

In fact, this was precisely the effect of the jump when 1t was tried at other tables. So Howard decided to try to bluff the opponents out of bidding spades, which might be their best suit.
