Skinny People
Must Relax,
Eat More
BY IDA JEAN kahn

THERE ARE two infallible
ways to gain weight-and if
you are as thin as a glass Of
skim milk, perhaps you'd bet
ter resort to both. One, of
course, is to take more food.
But the other-and it may be
more important-is to cut down
on your energy expenditure.
Stop to think about 1t and
you'll realize that you scarcely
ever see a fat person tearing
along. The fat ones usually am
BILE and the thin ones rush.
There are exceptions. but / am
talking about the rule.
Slow Movements
Since slow movements take
fewer Galleries than fast ones,
you can save yourself by taxi
ing your time. Just cast your
eye over the difference in the
number of calories you can use
in walking: walk leisurely, say
at the rate of two and one-half
miles an hour, and you burn
only about Ito calories per
pound of body weight per hour.
But when you increase your
walking rate to three and three
quarters miles an hour, the
number of calories per pound
per hour are stepped up to 100!
And if you speed along at the
rate of five miles an hour, you
burn almost four calories per
pound in an hour.
Builds Tension
Probably the worst feature
of constant hurrying, however,
is the tension it builds up. You
know how it is when you rush
from one thing to another
your mind races ahead and you
drive yourself to keep up with it.
This feeling of being pressed
for time is almost as fatiguing
as the actual work involved.
Plan your appointments so that
there is plenty of time between.
Don't try to get quite so much
done-there's always another
day.
Gaining weight is a simple
procedure-for the easy-going
fat person! When you are thin,
highly strung and have hurry
tits, it's very hard for you to
get the extra calories that mean
curves and better insulation for
your nerves. Slowin. down will
help, but you also need special
gaining menus. Wen talk about
I hose tomorrow. Meantime,
here's an easily digested menu
that will help you to gain:

Then Jonescu, the coffee maker took Carol
warmly by the hand Many plots followed More
musical comedy schemes and stratagems. At any
rate, months later, all was ready Carol landed in
London prepared to fly from Croydon Field to
Bucharest to claim the throne.
But musical comedy wouldn't give up her grip
on the Prince who had been first to recognize her
in his family affairs So it happened that Prince
carol was forbidden to fly from Croydon Airfeld
Furthermore, he was firmly forbidden to remain

But, all the same something had been born

attitude of his cousin, George V Carol had heard
the call of Empire. And Mr. Jonescu also kept
toung this call to the Prince till Carol told him
sef that, by the excellent coffee of Mr.. Jonescu,
there must be something in this
So he vowed he would be true to his destiny no
matter what. Shortly after this young lieutenant
visited Carol at Neuly
And shortly after that Carol landed from an
alrplane at country village outside Bucharest The
Chief of Police of that town telephoned the Minis
ter of Justice:
THE King has come home. With the Band of
the Eleventh Regiment of Infantry in front of him.

And Carol did march to his capital And the
crowds swelled all about him, cheering happy re-
joicing the King came home. What matter if
the droll monarch had been a gay one with the
ladies'? They winked, those peasants, and they
shouted-"Carol will help us sell our wheat"

him at the entrance. Then followed many appear

mysterious happened at side entrance of the Pal.
