Before you begin cheating on this diet, remember it is merely model or pattern or outline on which to build your own health diet. AS 1t stands it is a corrective, protective, basic health diet-a regeneration, longevity diet-and, for the sound reasons indicated, a beauty diet too. All that, in word, is vite.
 This diet supplies all of the min erals with the possible exception of iodine) and vitamins, all of the calidies, the aminoacids (complete proteins) all of the carbohydrate Sugars and starches) and i'll of the fats, as well as nearly if not quite all of the calories a sedentary adult requires to keep in optimal nutri- tional condition.
 As it stand it is NOT suitable or adequate for a child and by child I mean a person who has not yet attained full adult growth and development-which some attain as early as the age of l9 years, most attain at the age of 21 to g years, some not until the age of twenty five years. It is for this reason that it is unwise and generally danger ous for a young person to attempt reducing on any diet without the constant supervision and advice of physician-and l don't mean a mail -order of self-titled specialist" l A

Claiming that feminine charm can be wrecked by knife, fork and spoon, one masculine critic says that women should worry as much about how they eat as what they eat.
 Wally Westmore, Hollywood make up man, insists that even men who offend with their table manners ex- pect a woman's to be above re- proach.
 Here are the violations of which MT. Westmore thinks a charmer should never be found guilty; gob- bling up food; huddling over meal with arms or elbows on table; chew ing audibly with open mouth.

Wise Women Strike Happy Medium in Eating Habits

As annoying to many men, of course, are over-refmed table man. ners: taking S-u-c-h teeny weeny bits; slipping so daintily from a glass; overworking a napkin; and pausing endlessly (while chewing food to pulverized bits) before an swering his question.
 So, it would seem that wise gal who wants to please might take the middle course. That would be eat- ng nicely enough to guard the stan- dards which the little woman is supposed to guard but not being so f1nickey about taking her three-a- day that mans more robust table manners are made to appear over hearty.

 Three years spent in entertaining troops overseas, often near the front lines, seem to have effected change in Marlene Dietrich Whereas she used to scoot for her swank dressing room on finishing scene, she now remains on the set, lolling on desk top or canvas chair, and chatting with the hoi-polloi.

Both said that if they were portrayed in dignified manner, they would waive their rights rather than to accept Jacks money. A few days later, the er- roneous statement was corrected it was the studio that would settle with Miss Taylor and Miss Williams. Both immediately filed claims for $35,000.

Found Slain in Hotel

nude body of a man identified by
cards found in his clothes nearby
as Les Wilson, baseball scout
for the ST. Louis Cardinals, was
found in a fourtn-f1oor room of
hotel here this morning.
Detective Chief Will Fritz said
the man had been dead only two or
three hours. Chief Fritz said there
was evidence that a fight had oc-
Cured earlier.
The body was found in sitting
position, slumped against a wall
with one arm draped over chair.
Joe Mathis, head of the Cardinals
farm and scout system, said in st.
Louis that Mr.. Wilson was a scout
for the Cardinals, but his presence
here was mystery to him.
"He wasn't supposed to be in
Dallas" Mr.. Mathis told the Times
Herald by telephone.
Capt. Fritz said he believed Mr..
Wilson had been knocked uncon-
scious in a fight, later regained his
senses and staggered about the
room in a dazed condition. He said
that could explain the bloodstains
on the wall.
Detectives, however, could find
no one who had heard a struggle.
Hotel attendants said Mr.. Wilson
had checked into the hotel at sos
am. yesterday. but a Delta AIR
lines ticket indicated he had flown
here Tuesday from Tyler, Tex.
