When the woman who loves good
groceries and loves not exercise
finds that she must wend her way
to the department where stylish
stouts" are on display it is up to
her to cultivate gumption, make an
effort to rid herself of excess
weight. She can do it, and with
out suffering any great depriva-
tions. All she has to do is to
stop feeding her adipose tissues.
Deprive them of fats, sweets and
starches and they will go off and
die. 1t isn't necessary for her to
half kill herself with strenuous ex-
ercises.
But localized fat IS different
problem. If the human frame is

POINTS WILL DIFFER,

Different commodities will have
different point valuSe. A pound OF
one kind of meat might be valued
at 8 points a pound, while pound
OF another kind of meat slightly
more plentiful might be valued at
6 points a pound. Consumers will
spend their points ON the basis of
individual preference.
The government will determine
the point value of each commodity
on the basis Of supply and demand.
A low point value will be given to
those commodities that are rela-
lively plentiful, while high point
value will be given to those that
are comparatively scarce
AS the demand or supply situ-
alton changes, the point values will
be changed correspondingly. For
example, if certain cut of meat
becomes scarce, the Government
could increase its point value to
discourage buying. On the other
hand, if cut becomes plentiful,
the Government can increase the
point value to encourage buying.
For the housewife, point ration
ing will introduce new currency"
which will require the same care
in budgeting as the housewife gives
in planning her weeks expenditure
of money.

Shoulder struggling is an effec-

Ten times and relax. Repeat.
In another exercise stand erect,

straight out in front of you, then,

Ration Stamps To T axe On New importance
To Housewives When Book 2 Is Distributed
Point System
Is Explained
ByCovernm't

WASHINGTON, ID. &. - tSNS)
Ration stamps are to take on
new Importance in the buying
habits of the American housewife
when War Ration Book Two is put
into the public's hands, the Office
of Price Administration said Mon
day.
The new book, which will be is
sued in January, will be used to
ration goods under point sys-
tenn" which is different from
straight coupon cashing under SUI
gar and coffee rationing.
SUGAR BY UNITS
Sugar is rationed by a compare
lively simple method known as the
unit system. Under this system, the
total supply Of sugar available for
civilian use is divided on a per
capita basis, allowing each person
an equal share Sugar can be ra-
toned in this way because it is an
essentially uniform article and the
supply is large enough so that
every one can have a uSeable
quantity
While the unit system is excel
lent for rationing sugar, it cannot
be used for rationing foodstuffS
that are diversified. Using meat as
an example, OPA officials said it
would be impossible to divide the
total supply Of each kind Of meat
on per capita basis because there
are too many types of meat (beef,
pork, veal, mutton and lamb for
example) too many different cuts
of each type CHOPS, roasts, steak,
and boiling meats, and too many
grades of each type and cut.
The supply of some cuts is so
small that if it were divided equally
among the total population the in
dividual share of particular cut
might be too small to be practical.
Furthermore, tastes vary and not
all persons want same cuts.
MEAT BY POINTS
The point rationing system is de-
signed to ration foods that, like
meat, cannot be rationed by the
unit system. OPA officials said that
certain basic principles were follow
ed in working out the new point
system. It provides a fair share for
everyone, and includes the element
OF freedom Of choice for the con-
sumner. 1t is thoroughly American
and will allow for various climatic
and economic conditions in the
United States.
Under the point rationing sys-
tenn, the Government will group
scarce commodities that art SINH
lar or related and ration the whole
group. Each commodity in the
group will have point value
Every consumer will be allotted
certain number of ration points to
spend for any of the rationed
items.
The stamps in War Ration Book
Two are worth 1, 2, 5 or points.
In addition TO the point value,
each stamp has an identifying let
ter to indicate the time period in
which the stamp may be used.
Purchase of rationed commodi-
ties must be paid for with point
stamps and money. The same
stamps will be used to buy any OF
the rationed items in a particular
group.
