Go TO Bed EarIy

Getting up earlier means going
to bed earlier so that you will
feel fresh in the morning.
At first you may not be able
to drop off to sleep as promptly
as you would like. But the rou-
tine of going to bed at the same
hour every night will make sleep
come more easily.
Don't do anything to keep
yourself awake, like totaling up
the bills late at night. If you
like to read yourself to sleep,
choose something boring or
soothing. No detectives stories!
If you are the tense type, you
probably should not take any
exercises before retiring, other
than a leisurely walk for a
breath of fresh air. But you do
need some calisthenics each
day.
Stretching and backward arm
swinging will improve your pos
ture. Floor exercises, taken on
your back with knees flexed
and stomach muscles contracted,
will strengthen the midsection
and straighten out a sway-back.

3 Essentials
For PUTTING
On Weight
BY IDA JEAN KAN

SO YOU are too thin? No
doubt you think If you could just
lie in bed in the morning and
have breakfast brought up 20
you, that would be the finest
way in the world to gain weight.
1t sounds good TO me, too. But
since you have TO get up, get up!
Instead of staying in bed until
the last possible minute, make a
Spartan start As minutes to an
hour earlier. That will allow for
a real breakfast.
You can't gain weight unless
you eat, and this meal is your
chance TO get almost ~one-third
of the calories you need for the
entire day.
Afterwards you will have
enough time left TO lie down
and rest FOR half an hour. And
you won't have to rush to work.
either. That one change would
start most of you too-thin girls
on the road TO curves.
Two Examples
You don't believe it? A cou-
pie of ex-thin girls do.
One girl gained Is pounds; the.
other u pounds.
One wrote that she feels like
a new person and has more en-
durance for work and play than
she would have thought possible
for her.
The other girl, whose NERVES"
had been a threat TO her career,
now has a business promotion.
The three essentials for gain
ing are:
Meals at regular hours.
Eating very slowly.
Rest after meals.
Most thin girls have a highly
active. digestive tract that hur-
ries the food along. Having the
meals regularly, eating slowly
and resting help you to get the
good out of your food.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. Prep
resSntative Mas, Republican, Of
Minnesota, colonel in the Marine
Corps Reserve who recently returned
from active duty in the South Pa
cine, said last night that America
Is losing the war in the Pacific and
charged that Washington has mis-
led the people in regard to some
Of our victories" over the japanese
Representative Mas, speaking at
an Armistice Day rally here, as
serted that the only way to victory
Is IN . single, co-ordinated war plan
backed up by one unified command.
The Representative declared that
Gen. Jimmy" Doolittles raid on
Toxic was successful, but mot one
single plane ever got back" although
many Of the flyers did.
The sinking Of four Allied cruisers
In the early stages of the Solomons
battle, he said, was "one of the worst
naval disasters in our history -
comparable to Pearl Harbor, because
the American Fleet was forewarned,
vet did nothing to defend itself. He
said the Japs blasted the cruisers
to the bottom In eight minutes with
cut an American ship firing 4 re-
turn shot.
In another Pacific battle, which
he did not identify, Mr.. Mas said
American losses were heavier than
the Japs'. though the engagement
was described to the American peo-
pie As q victory.
