The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-05-28
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

I suppose it is because I like fat folks that am devoting two arti- cles a week in this column to the humane work of making reduction as nearly painless as possible. Last Tuesday l told how to use saccharin to sweeten tea, coffee etc., instead of sugar.
 Today I have another little se- cret to share wI1h you fat folks. You all need iodine. Possibly few of you get enough iodine for the minimum nutritional requirements from your food, drinking water and salt-if you use iodized salt But more likely the great majority of you could do with an additional wee bit of iodine daily-in fact I can tell you that iodine deficiency through the years may account, to a considerable degree, for your gra- dual accumulation of that super fluous fat.
 As some readers are aware I ad- wise everybody, thin or fat, young or old, to take a suitable daily ra- ton of iodine. On request I'll send you a pamphlet giving Instructions for Taking an Iodin Ration"-the spelling without the final is my way of indicating that 1t is nutri- tional, food iodin and not medi- cinal iodine. When you ask, in writ ing please, for the pamphlet, be sure to inclose a stamped envelope bearing your address - and for Pete's sake don't give your address as City" or Local" nick.
 No matter what reducing regi- men, plan or diet you may follow, this iodin ration will tend to make reduction easier for you. I hope you will not be frightened when I tell you that it increases the activ- ity of the thyroid gland and so gives you, in mild way, an effect similar to the effect of thyroid ex- tract, but without any risks of un- toward effects. Remember, I am speaking of nutritional or food io- din and not of medicinal iodine.
 A suitable iodin ration also in- creases metabolism, and that is es- pecially desirable in most instances when fat folks are on restricted diet, because when the specific dyn- annie action of food is missing (the increase of heat production and metabolism by protein and carbo- hydrate) any one who has long overeaten and let's face it, fat folks, if we are overweight we certainly have gotten that way by eating more than we needed), when this stimulating effect of food is with drawn, the individual becomes. de- pressed, anxious, perhaps panicky about becoming ill--and gone are all the firm resolutions, back he or she goes to the fleshpots for big gorge. And so I say a suitable daily

 I feel obligated to tell you this. Reading your booklet on Indiges- tion I was struck by the remark about eating something one does not need. I began thinking how often one eats like that.

where he can secretly admire it while pre-
tending to do something else.
No matter if he could have bought the
same thing for infinitely less money than
his time is worth. As distinguished surgeon
once said, IF were to put price upon that
sideboard at the rate charge my patients,
it would be one of the most expensive pieces
of furniture in the world. But wouldn't
sell it for ten times even that amount"

he gathers on the way: sound respect for

You might call him a mustache
eradicator," because for the past 80
years he has been hired to go about
New York City and erase mustaches
on advertising boards. He estimates
that he's made So, 900 such operations.
He can handle boards too, but they
don't come up SO often. For some
reason, the average signboard artist
sticks pretty much to mustaches, and
that's okay with Mr.. McIlroy be-
cause boards are bigger and take more
time to clean off.

RARE. In World War III, buck
privates were more exclusive than
you think. According to 1t. Col.
Randolph Leigh, in Armed Forces
Digest" there were only 484,74l in
the ETO. Corporals, however, were a
dime dozen - numbering 638, ,38l.
MISSING JEWEL. A sense of humor
can sometimes be a liability, as at
tested by this tale from Cincinnati.
A young lady entered local night
club and felt her cultured-pearl ear
ring give way. She grabbed for it but
it bounced into a gentleman's coffee
cup. Her boy friend said wouldn't it
be fun to wait and see how surprised
the man would be when he finished
his coffee and found pearl in it. She
giggled and said it would.
But then complications set in. The
man decided his coffee was cold and
ordered another cup. AS the waiter
whisked the cold coffee away. the
alarmed young lady grasped at his
arm and whispered: There's pearl
in that cupT He just laughed and
scurried to the kitchen.
The couple then took their case to
the headwaiter, who, rather skepti-
cally, allowed them to 60 out to the
dishwashing department. After half
hour, they finally turned up the miss
ing jewel. But if you know anything
about women, you've probably
guessed the pay-off: During the melee,
the lady lost the other earring, and
they never did find that one.

The home craftsman tracks sawdust into

spills chemicals on the butterfly table and
leaves upon the freshly painted kitchen
walls the mark of the Black Hand.
While he will not spare time or money

Honey Hoop" the central
character is human and appeal
ing and her rise from an ordin-
airy domestic servant to union
member and war worker is
highly dramatic. Honey is from
a large family; big Mama and
Papa, (the headwaiter at the
Country Club Carmen, nee
Caroline, a school teacher land
ashamed OF being eolored,) Eu-
italia who has man trouble;
and Lamb, a boy with growing
pains. Out of this family Mrs.
Cook writes an absorbing mod
ern narrative, an interesting and
thought building book which
should not only be read by col
AIRED people but all others in
terested in the struggles of a
