pounds of milk and cream during the
heaviest milk production months. The
ice cream industry uses large guam
titles of other farm products, such

Ice cream is nutritious dairy food.

can De done along LnlS line. "A lew
months ago young woman whom
We'll call Miss x was sent to her by
another voice teacher. Miss x was
unattractive, with a listless express
sion, bad posture, and an unpleasant
speaking voice. She was far from
successful in her JOB in a large Office,
and she was very unhappy.
At first it was almost impossible
for Miss x even to hear tone,
and the noises she created when she
tried to sing were really grim. But
after two months, she was able to
join in the hymns at her church
without being stared at by other
peW-holders or eased out an exit by
an usher.
you don't know what this means
to mel" she then told her teacher.
"All my life I've felt inferior to
other people-now I'm on an equal
ity with them"
Today, after several additional
months of instruction, Miss x is
almost a different person" Her
facial expression, instead of being
dull, is one of happiness and inter
est. Her posture has improved re-
markably-she holds her head up
and walks firmly instead Of shuff1ing
along. And her Office work has
shown marked improvement.
OF course, this example and the
others which the teacher cited 10
US doesn't mean that every case OF
shyneSs or timidity can be cured by
voice lessons. But it's undoubtedly
true that any personal achievement
or accomplishment is helpful in
these cases. And for a number of
reasons, singing is more powerful
medicine than many other types of
training which might exert some
what similar effect.
So we suggest that you shy Steyes
and Stellas, when looking for an
activity to get into. might well con-
slider your school glee club or chorus.
Provided, of course, that you can
sing little bit! If you can't even
hit lick in the musical line. 1t
might be very much worth your
while to seek out the services Of a
competent voice teacher and learn
to sing.

| Why
| |GrowOld?
BY Josephine L0acman

Body and mind, health and emo
tions are so tied up together that
we can hardly say where one be-
gins and the other leaves off. More
and more the research and expert
ence of medicine are impressing
these facts on our consciousness.
Therefore, as it becomes our duty
I to be calm and courageous, it be-
comes necessary to banisn fatigue
and to build vitality. Whenever it
is essential to build vitality weight
normaliZation assumes new i'm
portance.
A woman who carries too many
pounds cannot be at her best. Every
organ in her body is burdened with
overweight and works under a strain.
Even the arches in her feet feel the
impact of too many pounds and may
give her trouble
In working with thousands of pu-
pills and readers it has been my
experience that correct weight re-
ductlon leads to greater vigor. The
woman who has lost her pounds
sanely usually is amazed at the
pickup in energy which she expert
enceS. This new vitality is even
more important than the increase
in attractlveneSS which accompanies
it.
l never recommend rapid reduc-
ing for any length of time. How
ever, there are protective diets
which can be planned and restric-
tions which can be placed on the
diet for a short period of time I
have, for instance, worked out a
nine-day reducing diet which pro-
tects health and which has been
approved as safe by widely known
physician.
This diet gives a loss of weight
OF about pound day. Use it for
nine days-no longer! Some women
will lose only about 5 pounds in the
nine days. 1t all depends on in
dividual metabolism and physical
activity.
I like my nine-day diet because
1t encourages the overweight woman
if she doesn't have to wait too long
before seeing results. At the end
Of the nine-day period she should
continue on regular 1.400-a-day
calory count program, which will
bring her with exercise) a loss of
about 2 pounds a week
Since so many woman are slim
ming down for the sake of physical
fitness, many OF them might like a
flying start on long task. This
week I will write suggestions about
reducing diets-what to do and what
not to do.
If you wish my Nine Day Re-
ducing Diet, which gives you de-
tailed menus and instructions
and will allow you to lose from
5 to 9 pounds in nine days, send

Fleshy Spots
.Banished by
Massage
Add This Program
To Your Routine
Of Exercising
By Patricia Lindsay

With play days at hand our figure
proportions will be revealed when
we 60 bathing, play tennis or enter
other outdoor sports. So II you have
specific spots which need banishing,
add a program OF scientific massage
to your daily exercising and sane
dieting.
Sit down on the floor in front OF a
long mirror. make fists of your
hands and, starting at your knee,
pummel the fleshy spots up to the
hipline and down again to the knee.
Keep up this rub-adub-dub pum-
melting for two minutes by the clock
This massage Is called compress
sion massage" and it may be done
on the inside of the leg, the but
tocks, the thighs, lower legs, around
the midriff.
II you skin Is tender apply a little
cream or oil before you massage
but do not spare your feelings!
Knead deeply and pound hard!
Begin to massage the waistline
from under your right arm. Pick up
as much fat as you can with your
right hand and fingers. Squeeze it!
Lift 1t! Then take hold Of fat next
to that with left hand-squeeze both
handfuls alternately and lift it. Go
inch by inch across your tummy to
under your left arm and then 60
back again to right arm. Repeat
this kneading until your fatty flesh
stings from the friction. Repeat
daily, along with your midriff re-
ducing exercises, and you will slim
inches!
One can reduce f1eshy upper arms
by this same lifting and pinching
method, but slimming will be more
rapid If a friend will massage the
arms for you. The trick Is to cause
greater circulation through the mas
sage, and to break down the fatty
tissue. Strenuous, diligent massage
Is the only way to reduce fatty arms.
II 1t is difficult for you to massage
the back Of your thighs for reducing
you might try this: Stand with one
foot resting on the seat of a chair
with the leg relaxed. Take a coarse,
medium-size turkish towel and with
brisk movement pull it from left to
right. When the skin tingles, drop
the towel and slap your thighs
smartly with palms of hands. Be
sure your leg Is relaxed; If the
muscles become tense the treatment
will have little reducing effect.

How Meal Budget
Should Be Spent

When the food budget is low, food
must be chosen even more carefully
than is usually the case. Money
may be saved by using the cheaper
cuts Of meat and by combining meat
with such foods as rice and mac
aroni and bread crumbs. Vege-
tables must be selected according
to the bargains in market, but
some raw vegetables should always
be included in the days menu. Cab
bage, for instance. may be cheap
er throughout the year, but when
garden lettuce Is in market it
may be able to compete with cab
bage. The amount of milk and of
citrus fruits and the egg allowance
must not be cut. Sometimes, how
ever. the usual expenditure for these
products may be reduced without
cutting down essential foods.
Not less than three cupfuls of
milk for each child and two cupfuls
for each adult should be used daily.
When evaporated milk replaces part
of the fresh milk .no more than
equal quantities Of water Sheald be
added. Some OF the fresh milk may
also be replaced by buttermilk. Milk
bought in 2 or 4 quart containers
is cheaper than when bought by
the quart.
An allowance of three to four eggs
week for each person should be
made. Unsorted grade B eggs are
generally satisfactory. At least one
serving Of fruit should be included
every day. The purchase of large
cans of grapefruit or tomato juice
is an economy. Vegetables should
be used literally, and some of them
should be in raw form. They should
be purchased according to the bar
gains in either fresh or canned
form. As q final notation the Nu-
triton Bureau mentions that cut
ting down on sugar will not only be
unharmful but may Be Of benefit.
