He is anything but graceful! He
tumbles. stumbleS and bumps into
things, regarding the difficult busi-
ness of learning TO maneuver his
still unwieldly body with good
humor
1t is not until several years later
that he is able to move about with
easy sureness, for this ability must
wait until his motor coordination
is smoothly meshed.
As soon as a child has control Of
his larger muscles a mother may
begin to give thought about train
ing her rapidly growing young
sprout how to sit. walk and stand
properly and gracefully. To my
mind bodily grace is as important
an asset to boys as it is to girls.
Grace itself is nothing more than
the ability to use our entire ply
sical structure in a relaxed. CO.
ordinated and balanced manner.
The athlete. after years Of muscle
training and control. is almost in
varidbly a man who stands erect
and owns the ability TO walk. sit,
dance and run with fluid, easy
movements.
The first step in encouraging har-
monious bodily motion is to insist

or scolding. II it does. the game is
lost at the beginning because con-
stant. obvious prodding only serves
to irritate a youngster Gust as it
does you or mel and his shoulders
will slump all the more either from
discouragement or from stubborness.
Instead, rewards for effort. ex-
ercises practiced in the spirit Of
fun, and practiced consistently SO
that they become an expected part
of the child's routine, and a good
example set by daddy and mumie,
will have the desired effect. To
stand, sit and walk tall must be-
come a habit before any boy or girl
can attain bodily grace.
Correct posture is needed for
sound health, too, so il your child
has slovenly posture habits try to
correct them now before his young
bones and muscles become accus-
toned to faulty bodily position. My
leafiet on correct posture offers you
approved and easy exercises that If
practiced faithfully every day will
show marked posture improvement
in an amazingly short space Of time.

Emily Post Suggests
Ways in Which Girl
Can Paw Cab Fare

Dear Mrs. Post: How can young
woman meet a young man who Is
arriving at the airport and pay the
expense of taxing back to town
without embarrassing him? This
young man has very little time and
is flying from camp so he can spend
most of it with me and my family.
know he hasn't much money.
Answer-If the taxi is from a
garage where you are known, you
can arrange to pay for it in ad-
vance, or pay for it later. In either
case, you say payment has been
arranged for. If this is not possible
you perhaps can wait until just be-
fore you arrive at the house and then
quickly handing him a bill. explain
that your father told you to pay the
taxi fare out of 1t. The idea Is to
catch him of his guard. 50 that
he does what you say before he has
time to think about it.

High Vitannin
Diet Builds
Thin People Must
Eat Plentifully
To Gain Weight
Bv Edith NJ. Barber

To gain weight Is generally more
difficult than to lose extra pounds.
We hear less about this problem
than we do about the opposite con-
dition. Losing weight generally de-
pends upon strength Of character Of
the individual, while 1t may be nee
eSSary to overcome some physi-
illogical condition in order to gain.
We find few persons who ap-
parently eat comparatively large
amounts of foods without gaining
weight. Most of us are envlous Of
them. Most thin persons, however,
find 1t dif1cult to take an adequate
amount of food because appetite is
lacking. 1t once was the custom to
add highly concentrated foods, such
as cream. butter and cheese, to the
regular meals. This has been found
to have an unfavorable effect upon
appetite for other food, as all OF
these foods remain in the stomach
for long time.
Nowadays the first effort is con-
cerned with increasing appetite.
Vitamin B-1 has been found to be a
specific in cases where there has
been a lack of this vitamin in the
diet. 1t does not seem to arouse ap-
petite, and this is fortunate for per-
sons who wish to lose weight, when
the amount has been adequate. Pos
sibly the physiological condition OF
thin person demands a larger
quantity of vitamin B-1 than is
usually the case
Special care should be taken to eat
plentifully at each meal. Breakfast
must be more than fruit juice, toast
and coffee. Cereal, eggs and bacon,
or both, and some jam for the toast
can well be included in the breakfast
menu. Lunch should be more than
a sandwich, in fact, may well be a
dinner menu. Meat, which seems to
rouse appetite, can well be served at
both lunch and dinner. In order not
to disturb appetite for the regular
meals, milk in its own form or in an
eggnog or ice cream is best added at
bedtime, unless it interferes with
sleep. A plentiful amount of sleep,
by the way, has been found to have
good effect upon appetite.

tomato soup, a reason also for its

nate the possibility of any organic
disturbance Alter that, you can
follow one Of two courses, or a COM
bination of both.
The first is to try, with the help
of your family, your friends and
your teachers, to build up your own
self confidence and overcome your
shyness and sense Of inferiority
We have sent you some material
that will be helpful along this line
Briefly, you must avoid situations
and experiences which you know
will make you sick, meanwhile seek
. ing out other experiences in which
/ you can win small victories and
thus gradually grow more sure Of
yourself.
! The second method OF attacking
the problem is to seek the help of
a professional psychiatrist or psy-
chologist, whom your family physi-
clan would undoubtedly recommend
at your request If the first method
, fails. or if you want faster and more
certain results, this is your best
procedure.
Such overpowering feelings Of fear

are apt TO think that you could over

you tried hard enough. But this is
definitely not true, and it's i'm
portant for you and your family TO
realize it.
A capable physician trained in
such matters will know how TO get
at the underlying cause Of your
trouble. And until that cause is
discovered it will be very difficult
for you to build up the confidence
in yourself which you need.
Young people often overcome
stage fright merely through the
natural process of growing older.
But in a case as severe as yours.
you can't be sure that this will
happen; and even if 1t does. you'll
suffer lot in the meantime.
Therefore, we think you should dis
cuSS the matter with your parents,
and enlist their cooperation at
once in getting TO the root OF the
trouble.
