 DIVERTED AND MALNOURISIIEb As I have said here before, every little bit of milk added to what It, tie milk any growing child, rich ol poor, gets these days is all to the god so far as the childs nutrition is concerned, even if the dear, kind people supplying the milk hardly make enough on the transaction to cover handling costs and lncldeh- tals. Every young person needs a. least one quart of milk every day and every adult needs at least one pint Of milk a day. for optimaI nutrition and optimal health. Optl- maj means best possible, finest at l tainable.
 Due to this common misappre' hension many readers. l find think am trying to be funny when l speak of the manutrition or the nutritional deficiency Of persons who are overweight or obese. It IS | difficult to explain in a paragraph ] Cit takes a few pages in the book | let Rules for Reducing" g"-mallco
 on request if you inclose twenty five cents and stamped sell ad-
 dressel cnvelope) so in this talk
 we'll just consider it agreed that nutritional deficiency is the main cause of overweight or obesity ana | let it go at that.
 A war widow complains she IS extremely tired and irritable all the time. finds a little relaxation drink ! ing tea all day long, taking an aV- craze of ten cups a day, with two teaspoonfuls of sugar in each cup
 She says she gets lots of exercises taking care of three young children and the house. yet she wishes tc | reduce. Will the tea drinking ID such excess do harm?
 Two or three cups of tea daily | should do no harm. Ten cups daily | is a little excessive. Still. even that quantity of tea is objectionable, for the young woman's health and hap pinesS, only in a negative way, ] think. That is. in sustaining her self or refreshing herself when tired, by such frequent tea drinking. | she is aggravating what ails her nutritional deficiency. The twenty | teaspoonfuls of refined sugar the young woman takes in her tea ev- cry day represents perhaps 600 cal- | ories-as much as one would get | from 3hs glasses tmore than 1l2 pints) of milk. No wonder the young woman is overweight and malnourished. Tea and sugar, like most breads, cakes and refined ce- real products. supply only calories, 1 little or no VitaminS and minerals. This young women should use | Saccharin instead of sugar in her | tea-perhaps one-fourth grain 1 tablet in a cup of tea. Instead of | tea she should for refreshments midforenoon and -afternoon any fresh fruit or fruit juice or | fresh or factory y-canned tomato or
 tomato juice, straight. To replenish
 her vitamin depletion she should eat a dozen tablets of the essen tial vitamins every day. That will
 improve nutrition regardless of the
 quality of the daily diet, and with
 improvement of nutrition the con-
 stant fatigue and irritably will be
 corrected.

 Cri Bouts Stopped
 Although you have been friend,
 counsellor and guide for our family | for a long time this is my first eX-
 pression of thanks. For one think particularly we are all grateful
 both here in the old home and in
 the homes of our three married children-you have taught us how to avoid those cri bouts that so many families consider inevitable at in tervals. And of course our grand children, like our children before
 them, wear what they please or leave off what they please when they please, much to the concern of un- initiated friends and neighbors. Mrs. M. H. AnsWer-Lucky kids, to have grandparents like that! You mean to tell me you never, never worry even little bit about the youngsters ] getting their feet wet or going without their overcoats or heavy undies or anything? Jiminy Peters!
 But then, we must have caught you when you were young-about a gen. eratlon ago, you say Lucky parents! To have kids who can't catch any thing unless they are infected with it. Suggestion to other YOUNG parents or prospective parents: Send twenty-five cents and stamped pre- | addressed envelope for booklet Gall 1t Cri." Old fossils please ignore
 this suggestion, for you are un- teachable anyway.
