FORTY OFF AND STILL NOT
 SATISFIED


 am of Sedentary occupation anC my only exercise is a three mile walk every day. Age 9, sex, F. height 5 feet 21z inches barefoot, weight 132 pounds without clothing occupation sedentary. I swear by the calorie- counting method, for have reduced over 40 pounds in the past or g months by that method "a very slow but continual weight loss. According to weight tables am still 6 or ' pounds overweight, but having large bones I can stand some extra poundage, suppose. Now the problem is how to keep from regaining unwanted pounds. In your helpful booklet Rules for Reducing" you say sedentary adult needs 2500 to 5000 calories per day to maintain normal weight and health, but you do not differen- tiate between men and women, and certainly the average man can put away more than the average woman without it showing on him, even if they are equally inactive.
 Miss D. L)
 Probably most plump girls who read this will envy Miss D. L. who gets rid of forty pounds in less than ten months by just juggling calories. Incidentally, 8 pound week is fair rate of reduction for anybody who wishes not only to re- duce but also to retain good health and good looks. Some obese indi- viduals may reduce at the rate of IF or even 2 pounds a week for few weeks, but whatever reduction method one elects to follow 1t is always better in all respects and more likely to give lasting satis- faction if the rate of reduction is moderate. That way, the indivit,- uals metabolism, physiological func- tions. posture and habits more readily adjust themselves to the new way of life. For, don't forget, the way of life of person 62la inches by 132 pounds must be diff ferent from the way of life of | person 6212 by 172 pounds or else. That three miles a day that Miss D. l.. walks-a pparen she doesn't realize what boom that is to her figure. Why, three miles of oxygen on the hoof every day would be enough in itself to keep a good many women feeling fit and looking as slender as they feel. That is, pro- vided they are not too fond of (a) refined carbohydrate and (b) al hocol.
 Mind, now, Fatty, I do not say that three or six miles of oxygen on hoof every day will reduce any one. I merely remind you that the reason why ANYBODY accumu- lates excess or superf1uous fat or bulk (not necessarily weight) is that he or she consumes more fuel than he or she burns day by day. And there Is no easier or better way to burn 1t than the way this young woman has done. My only exercise is three mile walk every day"

areas, to get in touch with home.
 Those "first-line citizens" get few privileges in camp and fewer priori- ties on their scant furloughs. If they simply can't arrange for leave over the festal period, the next pest thing is to be able to hear on the wire the voices of Mother, Dad, and possibly the lass or lad next door. They shouldn't have to wait hours or even minutes for their calls to be put through. The mes sages of the oldsters can wait. Youth will be served, my masters"
 In this connection, the "extra oath" taken by Miss Irma Hulles of New Haven, upon her induction as an Air-WAC the other day, seems particularly pertinent. Raising her right hand, the 22-year old enlistee remarked, T VOW I will not y0e the long distance telephone from camp to home except in matters of great emergency" The reason for this abnegation became quickly appar- ent. In civilian life a long distance operator, she knows whereof she speaks and therefore promises to re- frain from speaking. Miss Hunes has set an example for us all.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 SuperfluOus Hair

Please give the name of the pumice stone you suggested for keeping down growth of superhuous hair on the face. I don't know what to ask for in the drugstore or cosmet- icS department. (Mrs. P. s.
 AnsWer-I know no other name than pumice stone, fine pumice stone. Moderate rubbing of the hairy area every few days keeps the growth practically invisible and | does not irritate the skin if not overdone.
 Water Iodine Poor l do not believe our water con- tains enough iodine to meet the body,s requirements. Therefore I'll thank you for instructions for talk ing an iodine ration. (M. H)
 Answer-Send stamped envelope bearing your address. and ask for Instructions for Taking an Iodin Ration"
 Eye Wash
 Some time ago you gave a recipe for making an eye wash-a pint of boiling water, I forgot how much salt and something else. Please give me the directions again.
 c. E. O. Answer - Rounded teaspoonful table salt in pint of water that has been boiled, makes solution similar to the tears, and therefore non ir- rltatlng for use as eye wash. Add ing a teaspoonful of boric acid to the pint of salt solution makes it antiseptic.

if everything goes ahead on
schedule we are apt to be reduced
to a scale of living lower than
many Of us have ever experience
ed. With more money available
to buy goods than ever before
in the history of our country, and
with supplies less than they have
been during this century, it is
apparent that even with ratiOning

be a very difficult problem to
keep our economy from eXplod-

God. Jesus became bread both
through His humiliation and ex-
altation. By executing the Of
fices of prophet, priest and king,
Jesus becomes bread for our
souls.
How are we to be partakerS of
this bread? Jesus, Il am the liv-
ing bread which came down from
heaven: if any man eat this
bread he shall live forever and
the bread that l will give is my
flesh, which I will give for the
life of the World"-John 6:51.
Then said Jesus unto them, veri-
ly, verify, I say unto you, except
we eat the flesh of the son of
man, and drink his blood, We have
no life in you"-John 6:53. We
do not eat this heavenly food af-
ter a corporal or carnal manner
like we take food into our physi-
cal body, but it is by faith that
we partake of this heavenly
bread. Some one has said, EAT
ing is believing and believing is
eating. Our very soul must ap-
propriate and assimilate the spir-
itual food offered to us in Christ
Jesus.

Lesson In Brief
BY REV. B. A. MEEKS

Subject: Jesus, the Bread Of
Life"
Bible Passage: John 6:1-14, 80
'35.
Golden Text: And Jesus said
unto them, 1 am the bread of
life"-John 6:35.
Our lesson for today concern
ing Jesus as the bread Of life
rightly follows the lesson of last
week about Jesus as the Great
Physician. We saw how He made
people whole of whatever disease
they had. The healing of the
body was accompanied by the
healing of the soul thereby re-
newing the whole man after the
image Of God. The healing ac-
complished by Jesus was i'm
mediate and did not require a
period of time for the gradual re-
covery of good health. An 1ndl-
vidual having been made whole
by being born from above and
given a new life in Christ Jesus
finds himself in need of spiritual
food. So in our lesson for today
we find Jesus offering Himself
as the bread Of life.
The words, 81 am the bread of
life" are very familiar to all BIZ
BILE readers. Not only are they
familiar. but they are very SIM
pie words. At first glance we
are inclined to think that they
state a very simple fact But few
of US realize the full significance
of the truth stated by these SIM
pie words. 1t can be said that
none Of those hearing these
words as they fell from the Mas
ter's lips understood them. No
truth in all the Bible is more pro-
found than this statement by the
Lord Jesus. MANY therefore of
his disciples, when they had
heard this, said, This is an hard
saying; who can hear it?' This
is such a profound and difficult
truth that many down through
the ages have been offended by
it and turned from the Lord.
When Jesus said, 81 am the
bread of life" He was thinking Of
bread in the broad sense. It
signifies that which is essential
to a properly balanced diet. We
know that bread in the sense of
we'll balanced diet nourishes,
strengthens. enables to grow and
satisfies hunger 'He that com
eth to me shall never hunger; and
he that believeth on me shall
never thirt''. Christ is as indis-
pensable to our spiritual life as
is food to our physical body.
Christ is the only source Of spiri-
tual nourishment. If you will
notice, Jesus did not say that He
was a part Of our spiritual diet,
but that He is THE bread Of life
He used the defirite article (the)
in designating Himself as the
bread Of life
How did Jesus Christ become
bread for our souls? Jesus be-
came bread by laying aside His
divine glories in heaven and COM
ING to earth; in taking to Him
self the form of man by being
born Of the virgin Mary, under
going the miseries Of this life, the
cursed death on the cross in be-
ing buried and continuing under
the power of death for a season.
Having made satisfaction for our
sins through His death, Jesus
arose from the dead and assembled
up into heaven to make continual
intercession for the people of

Two government agencies this week
refused to be inundated by the threat

The threat came from the American

went so far as to start liquidation pro-

The n l.. r. b. ordered the company
to bargain collectively with the union,

The War Labor Board followed up by
directing the management to sign an

government seizure of the property
would follow further defiance Both
agencies emphasized the orders apply

White House Sdid
To oHd1nper Lewis
Group Nomed To Consider
Miners Re-EntrY; Peace
With CT. 0. Still Aim

Washington.-The White House was
reported to have checkmated an at
tempt by John L. Lewis to obtain i'm
mediate re-entrance into the American
Federation of Labor for the United
Mine Workers of America.
This disclosure was made when
William Green, president of the AFL,
made known the identity of the men,
bers of the committee which will con-
fer with Mr.. Lewis on his application
for readmission to the Federation.
The name of William l.. Hutcheson,
president of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters, thrice chairman of the
labor division of the Republican Ma
tional Committee did not appear on
the list. Instead the committee named
consisted of Daniel j. TObin, president
of the International Brotherhood of
Transfers; George Nj. Harrison, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks. and Matthew Woll, a vice
president of the AFL
Mr. Green was asked whether there
had been any intention of naming Mr..
Hutcheson to the committee and he
replied: THAT never came up"
1t was learned that while Mr. Hut
chesons name had not come before the
Executive Council officially, the car
penters' chief had expected to be
named to the committee since he spon-
sOred the motion to re-admit the
miners into the Federation.
Mr.. HutchesOn had presented the
Executive Council with a check for
100000 on account of the miners dues
when he filed Mr. Lewis petition with
the council last week. Had he been
named to the council committee to con
fer with Mr. Lewis it is certain he
would have made Il strong fight to OBJ
tain re-afIiliatiOn of the miners imme
diately.
Mr.. Green made it plain that the
possibility of peace with the Congress
of Industrial Organizations was still
one of the Federation's objections. The
miners application, he said, did not
at all preclude the possibility that the
peace parleys with the CIO would &C
ON. "The meetings will be resumed,
he said
The committee to confer with Mr.
Lewis consists of two New Dealers
Messrs. Tobin and Harrison, while Mr.

lican. Mr.. TObin has been labor divi
sion chairman of the Democratic Ma
tiOnal Committee, opposite number tt

Problems

tries, soil conservation, social inSur-
ance, minimum wages, the regulation
of working hours, and many other
questions which aim at strengthening
the foundations OF our economy.
Those who protested against govern
ment intervention must therefore have
thought of one particular kind of inter
vcntion which the government may APP
ply with the aim of fighting unem-
ploymcnt The intervention they are
willing to fight against is government
spending i'm excess of tax receipts in
periods of unemployment, whether on
public works or on increased benefit
payments
The fight against such spending for
the purpose Of creating employment is
not II recent developments it has been
going on for many years.
We cannot summarize here even in
outline, the pros and cons of the
matter. But, to make IL long story
short, could this discussion not be
ended with an equitable solution?
Could it not be agreed that public
spending with the aim of creating em-
ploymont should not be resorted to
when other equally efficient and rapid.
ly-working employment policies are
available? But that If full employment
cannot be maintained otherwise the
government should have appropriations
to spend without delay and in all the
required amounts?
In other words, If business alone can
do the job, so much the better. If NOT,
government should not be precluded
from using means which, if iudiciouSly
applied, have proved to be absolutely
effective in creating and maintaining
full employment
