That's not something l thought

Of our leading insurance compa-

While the insurance people are
mainly interested in furthering
the war effort, they have another
motive, no less patriotic. They
want to improve the health Of

You can take more Calories
out of your diet by cutting down
on the fats than in any other
way. In restaurants you now get
Just one pat of butter per order.
That's fine 49, YOU won't be
tempted 10 use butter lavishly.
You need a pint of milk a day.
but skinned or, If YOU prefer,
YOU can have buttermilk. OF
course, YOU do not get your vita

make that up by having green
lealy vegetable every day.
Yellow vegetables are also an
excellent source Of this particu-
lar vitamin. Then II YOU have an
