RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Few human beings ever seem to
weigh just what they would choose.
Friends frequently say "Oh, you
look just right" to a person who
feels that change of 10 pounds one
way or the other would make his
appearance much more handsome.
Trying to gain weight seldom
results in harm. People who con-
slider themselves too thin are u.s.
ually really too thin for health,
whereas many people think them
selves fat when they are not at all
overweight from the health point
of view.
Regular meals of nourishing well
balanced food are most essential
for gaining weight. A quart of
milk, green and yellow vegetables,
tomatoes, fresh fruit, potatoes, one
egg a day, meat or meat substi-
tutes twice a day, whole grain or
enriched cereals and breads, with
plenty of butter-these foods should
form the backbone of any diet to
gain weight.
Rich desserts, pastries, candy,
fried foods and whipped cream are
all high in calories and it takes
calories to make fat. However,
these same foods are difficult to di-
gest. Many people are thin not be-
cause they do not eat enough, but
because they do not property di-
gest and absorb what they do eat.
Therefore foods extra rich in fat
and in sugar should be taken only
| if the individual can digest them,
and if he has eaten the more es-
sential foods first. Simple desserts
using milk, eggs and fruits are
best for those with poor digestions
or little appetite.
Regular meals are big help in
adding pounds. More than three
meals are allowed only if the ap-
petite for meals remains good and
if regular time each day is plan
ned for between meal feelings. For
example thin person with a good
appetite may profit by extra food
daily at 1890, 2.30 and $50.
There should always be enough
time for meals, and this is partic-
ularly important for the under
weight. A short nap before dinner
has helped many people to come to
the table better able to eat and
digest their food.
A pleasant atmosphere aids in
the use of food. An unpleasant at
mosphere and excitement will cause
loss of appetite and delayed di-
gestion. Meal times should be kept
quiet and happy for the benefit of
everyone.
Regular hours with plenty of
sleep, freedom from physical de-
fects such as dental decay or bad
tonsils, and enough exercise to
stimulate the desire to eat are all
part of the best program for add
ing pounds.
The experience of the United
States army shows that under
weight boys inducted into the army
and subjected to its routine usually
gain weight. The same thing Of
ten happens to students who go
away to college and eat in a COL
lege dining room. Well balanced
meals combine with a regular life
to produce results.

R efine Skin
With Good
Face Pack
BY DONNA GRACE

THERE ARE two beauty
treatments that really do change
not only theS appearance but up
lift the whole mental attitude.
They area the facial packs and
messages and head shampoos.
Facial packs are necessary
now after the season of con-
tinuous makeup. The pores and
skin need stimulation and
cleansing only realized by these
fine treatments. Whenever pos
sible, We advise salon packs.
These experts have everything
at hand and with lovely refined
mixtures cover every part of the
face while one relaXes and takes
it easy.
Make, your appointments for
five or six Of them and the
Spring and early Summer will
find you ready for any new out
fit that suits your fancy.
At Home
Those who cannot go 10 the
salons may buy the pack and
other things all ready TO use.
Then with my facial massage
instruction il should be a simple
matter TO remove traces of ia
tigue and improve the COM
pleXion.
The first step is thorough
cleansing. For this wesrecom-
mend a soap massage. Slice and
melt half cake of any good
soap: add a cupful of water
before placing over the fire,
strain while hot. and begin.
We think the most comfort
able way for this kind of facial
is to combine it with warm
bath. Sit in the tub and have
the melted soap in a bowl. A
fresh wash cloth may be used
but the -fingertips are best TO
work around the nose and cor
nerS of the mouth. Use plenty
of soap so there will be "a good
thick lather and take time to
make it a thorough operation.
