Keep in Trim
Food Habits That Will Make
Thin Girls Gain Weight
BY IDA JEAN KAN

IF YOU thin girls would only
pat on to f6 pounds, you
would be lot less nervous and
you wouldn't tire nearly so
easily
This time OF the year the
overweights 60 after their fig
ure with a vim.
Some OF them fan by the way
side but at least they try. And
altogether too many Of you thin
girls seem 10 be Indifferent
about your ultra Streamlines.
You can't afford 10 be over
weight. IL will keep you from
pulling your share in the war
effort.
An Example
You can get those badly
needed pounds Just by paying a
bit more attention 70 your food
habits. And for proof, let me
tell you about young woman
who weighed A mere 90 pounds
shoes. compact and all--for
her height of ; feet /. who went
on a diet and gained eight
pounds IN three short weeks
She had never been particu-
larly interested in food and had
made no attempt to change her
food habits. But with the extra
strain Of wartime, il developed
that she was not only seriously
underweight, but anemic.
Tier doctor warned that she
must gain, As she put il. Il
have an old-fsshioned doctor
and he says l must put on 10
pounds right away So she
asked me TO help her add the
extra calorieS.
Vitemin B Complex
First of all. we had TO coax
her appetite along When YOU
have been eating helter-skelter
for several years, you don't sud-
denly acquire an appetite just
because you decide 10 gain
weight.
But the vitamin y complex
helped out. II stimulates a nor
NAL appetite. She took one
capsule after breakfast, at the
same time she took her iron
concentrate.
Because she wasn't used 10
eating any breakfast. that was
the meal she enjoyed the least.
We had TO concentrate these
calorieS.
The hot cereal was cooked in
milk, chopped dates were added,
and ii was served with cream
and sugar. Besides the cereal
there were fruit juice and cof-
fee-moStly hot milk, That
was the starting out breakfast.
On the second morning a slice
of toast was added on the third
morning an egg. and finally, a
second slice Of hot buttered
toast and strawberry jam. That's
quite a breakfast. She didn't
like that much food. but, like
a good scout, she ate il all. And
now she wouldn't miss q good
morning meal for anything. It's
just habit.
Lunch. which had always
been a sandwich and a beverage.
was changed 10 a real meal
with a cream soup. n hot sand
witch or other hot dish. a nour-
ishing dessert, and milk.

Call TO Arms
For Old RAGS
Or BurIap

MAKING BLUEPRINTS out
of burlap is only one of many
important results of the current
rag collection. according 10 the
women'S home salvage division
of the Wayne County salvage
committee.
Rags Of all kinds are needed
for war use. Old burlap is made
into fine paper which is used for
blueprintS . ID. hundreds OF thou
sands of pounds Of blueprints
are needed in planning one bait
tleShip!
Burlap is also shredded for
padding and used as packing
when war materials, such as ma
chine guns, are shipped.
Carpets and old felt rags are
used in making roofing. felt
paper. and fiber board for at
tractive inside wall decorations
in army cantonmentS and camps.
Manila rope makes strong
high test paper for use in chem
ical work.
Woolen rags help conserve our
present supply of wool. They
can be converted into wool rugs
and textiles. y

WE ASKED Cyrilla what

ster had on Broadway these
days. Her answer was any
thing but optimistic.
In fact, she reports that most
actors and actresses, not includ-
ing the Cornells and Helen
Hayeses. fill in between stage
roles with radio skits. She her

MONDAY MORNING we
went on a shopping expedition
in a chain store out in the
North End Of Detroit-on Seven
Mile road near Livernois. In
this market We found most of
the foods that we had planned
for Wednesdays, Thursdays and
Fridays menus.
With just 2la pounds OF meat
per person per week we did want
10 include some of the nonre-
stricted meats. Wednesday we
planned to use chicken and serve
II with plump fluffy dumplings.
When we arrived at the market
we found at the meat counter a
plentiful supply of fresh smelts.
These have just come into the
markets for the first time this
season. They were particularly
nice and being on the nonre-
stricted list we decided 10 pur-
chase those instead of the
chicken.
The original menu planned is
the same with the exception of
the smelts and potatoes.
Breakfast
Grapefruit Halves
Prepared Cereal Toasted Buns
Coffee
Luncheon
Meat Loaf Sandwich
Frozen Fruit Salad
Cake With Sauce
Dinner
French Fried Smelts
Au Gratin Potatoes Spinach
Beet and Onion Salad
Strawberry Shortcake
Grapefruit was priced at 5 for
25 cents: the cereal we had on
hand and the buns were left from
Tuesdays lunch. These we
toasted. The luncheon menu was
made up of left-overs from the
past two days. Meat loaf was
left from Tuesday dinner, the
frozen fruit salad and cake from
Monday night dinner.
The smelts were 35 cents per
pound and we purchased IL
pounds for four. This will serve
the family of 2 adults and 2
children quite generously, but
since they arc very fond of this
particular fish we did want 10
have plenty on hand. The washed
spinach sold az 19 cents bag
and the bulk was 2 pounds for
% cents.

wanted. Fresh beets were the
choice for the beet and onion
salad. The rest of the beets we
planned TO use picked with cot
tage cheese for luncheon during
the next few days.
The fresh strawberries were A
little green so we purchased the
frozen ones. These sold for 81
cents a box. One box of these
served over biscuits made with
enriched -four would make a
delicious dessert.
Here's our recipe for beet and
onion salad:

Dinner was the regulation
meal. But caloTies were added
in extra bread and butter and
a cream dessert. Also, she had
a green leafy vegetable every
day and liver twice a week
those were for more vitamins
and iron.
Milk Before Retiring e,
Before retiring, our gamer
had glass OF hot milk with A
malt preparation mixed in. 1t
spoiled her appetite TO eat be-
tween meals.
But you may find YOU can't
eat quite as much al mealtime
and you may need milk or
something else light in the mid
morning and afternoon and be-
fore retiring.
II you have no icebox for
keeping milk, buy one of the
malt preparations that can be
made with water. Another rou-
tine way of stepping up the
calories is 10 have two slices
OF bread and butter with each
meal.
Oh. yes! Our gamer had ex-
ercise in the fresh air every
day. and got nine hours sleep
each night.
A gain OF eight pounds in
three weeks is quite a record.
