THE STORY OF AFTER
CHRISTMAS SCALES

Perhaps this is as good a time
as any to warn against self-pre-
scribing reducing diets, because
many people are interested in get
ting rid of fat accumulated from
overeating during the Christmas hol-
idays.
No person should undertake a
strenuous reducing diet without the
consent of his physician. There are
a number of diseases and conditions
which may make your physician con-
slider it unwise for you to lose much
weight. For example, many people
do not consider a large frame, and
aims at a weight several pounds
lower than is really desirable for
them. Your physician can help you
to determine Just what your own
weight should be.
Beware of Quick Reducing
Remedies
Special reducing medicines and
foods are forlorn hope to the fat.
Many reducing medicines are mere
ly cathartics which remove only
water. Others are glandular prep
arations which are highly dangerous
to use without a physicians advice.
There Is no food which has any spe-
cial reducing effect. Every food
which we eat contains some calor-
les and food taken to make reducing
easier only adds to the days total.
Modern reducing diets are usually
built around milk, eggs, meat, vege-
tables and fruits. Any reducing diet
which you plan for yourself should
not omit any one of these or it is
likely to be unsatisfactory.
Since the number and amounts of
food in a reducing diet are SO lin
tied, each food used needs to be
carefully chosen.
The urge to reduce is inspired by
convincing life insurance statistics |
and the desire to look young and |
beautiful. Most people want to
maintain a normal waistline. 1t is
we'll known that persons over thirty
average longer lives If they are not
more than normal weight. However,
before thirty a few pounds above
the average furnishes excellent in
surance against such diseases as tu-
berculosis.
Too heavy meals, and irregular
eating and drinking can cause un-
desirable pounds to be added At
tempts to gain weight will seldom
result In harm, but poorly controlled
to lose are a different story.
Do not be careless about reducing
Il is a serious matter and should be
done the right way or not at all.

There is an overwhelming major
ity of the people in this country op-
posed to such action. At the same
time there are forces that are still
working to change the majority SEN
timent. What will be the outcome!
1t is generally recognized that any
arrangement made with Hitler is
good so long as he wants to keep his
word and no longer. AS liar and
a crook he has no equal, either now
or in recorded history. So we know
that Hitler would steal some Of the
food we shipped into Nazi dominated
territory in spite of any promises he
would make. 1t is also known that
most of the conquered countries
would need no special assistance
from us If Hitler had not robbed
them. What he wants us 10 do is to
replenish the food supplies he has
already taken. If we do so, we be-
come a partner in his crimes. The
asininity of such a course is appar-
ent when we remember that we
would be helping TO strengthen our
potential conqueror.
Many well intentioned, but ill-in-
formed, people don't believe this.
They say we are safe: "If Hitler
can't cross twenty-three miles of
English Channel in four months,
how long will it take him to cross
three thousand miles of Atlantic
Ocean?" The answer to that is:
SIf a gang of murderers take six
months to dig a tunnel twenty feet
long under a Jail wall. how long will
it take them to reach farm house
two miles away after they escape
from the jail?"
Others claim that Hitler will not
attack us unless we provoke him by
giving too much aid to Great Britain.
So to be safe, all we have to do is to
observe strict neutrality. Like Dem
mark and Holland! Still others say
Hitler wouldn't dare invade this
country because 130,000,000 Ameri-
cans are unbeatable. Such wishful
has already helped Hitler
conquer many nations with standing
armies much larger than ours. Hit
Ter boldly outlined his course of
action. Other nations refused to be-
Iieve him, the only time he ever
told the truth. They are gone, and
now supposedly intelligent Ameri-,
cans are still refusing to believe the
Nazi boasts that they will conquer
is also.
People don't realize the danger we
ire in. They designate as warmong-
srs those who call attention to our
weak points. They condemn the So
salled war hysteria. They Just don't
want to be frightened. No doubt
Then war spreads to. this country,

they will die bravely in its defense.
really want. Maybe they are in
trigued by the idea of standing like
martyrs amid the ruins of their
I bomb-wrecked homes. If so, that
would be OK. with the rest of us,
provided their decisions affected
themselves only.
! One of the most irritating inf1uen-
ces today emanates from those who
regard themselves as good Chris
tians. They say we should ship
food to the conquered countries of
Europe because of our Christianity.
On the surface, their point of view
is correct, but it won't stand crit
ical analysis.
There is plenty of authority in the
Bible for those who claim that Chris
tians should love their enemies and
can not take part in any war. On
the other hand, there is plenty Of
Biblical authority, as well as church
practices, during the last twenty
centuries, to Offset that argument.
The result is that a Christians con-
ception of his obligations to his
country can be made to agree with
his own Interpretation of church
law and church customs, whatever
that may be.
Those who object to sending food
to Europe to help Hitler, are on
much firmer ground than their op-
ponents. We are sorry for the
starving people of Europe, but we
don't intend to help them if that
means eventual slavery for our fell
low citizens in the United States Of
America. But we do want to help
the people Of Great Britain, because
they are helping us. Our position is
clear and perfectly logical.
Our opponents, on the other hand,
want to help the people whom Hitler
will put to work building war ma
teriaI with which he can conquer
us. If our opponents want to help
people, why don't they pro-
pose to help the British? Isn't Hit
Ter trying to starve them also?
To the big majority of Americans,
he idea of sending food to the con-
luered peoples of Europe appears to
be just a Hitler device to strengthen
himself at our expense. We distrust
Nazis and Fifth Columnists and look
to the day when all of them
IN the United States of America will
be interned in concentration camps.
But we fear even more the pious
platitudes of misguided Americans
who allow themselves to be used as
by the Nazis. There is
The real source of danger.

Why the Cross?
By G. Ray Jordan

Abingdon Cokesbury, Nashville. ST.
Let no one approach Calvary-in-
tellectually or spiritually-save in
the attitude of genuine reverence!"
That is the attitude of the author
which is very evident in these pages.
The message of the Cross is help
fully interpreted. The message is
intensely personal and gloriously
challenging" Written in simple,
but attractive prose, the average
readers interest will be kept by this
fresh treatment of an old theme.
The light and power of the redeem
ing Gospel are brought to modern
problems. The Christian experience
is made radiant and real. The neces-
sity of the Cross in life receives
emphasis. There are
eight chapters presenting the Cross
in the life of Jesus. the character
studies of Judas and Peter, 'Annas
and Caiaphas, Herod and PLATE,
Gods Love in the Cross, and the
Cross in Today's Living. A seasonal
of uncommon sermons. A
better observance of Lent will be
encouraged by its reading.
