Your Health
Children Get Too
Fat From Eating
Fattening Foods


BY HERMAN BUNDcsEN. ".
WHEN a child is much over
weight, as a rule the parents are
pretty well convinced that Il is
due 70 some glandular trouble. As
a matter Of fact, over 95 per cent
Of the children who are too fat
have gotten that way because they
have eaten too much, particularly
Of foods that are too fattening,
such as sweets, cereals, and fats.
Studies have revealed that many
Of these youngsters are the only
child or the youngest child in their
respective families. Food has
taken on an exaggerated impor-
lance 20 theU,. Then, too. home re-
lationships may be unhappy and,
according TO Doctor Nathan B.
Talbot Of Harvard Medical School,
food may become a substitute for
love, security and other forms Of
satisfaction.
Overweight Children
The overweight children will
usually be found to be average or
slightly over average height. They
are Of normal intelligence and, in
fact, many of them are in the top
third of their classes at school.
The amount Of excess weight var
les to some extent. Some are only
moderately plump. while others
are extremely fat. Most Of the ex-
cess fat is distributed in the region
of the breasts, hips and lower part
Of the abdomen.
Certain glandular disturbances
may account for overweight in
some children. For example, there
may be present a condition known
as Frohlich's syndrome, due to
some difficulty with the pituitary
gland which is located at the base
Of the brain. There is a disorder,
also, in which there is low blood
sugar, which tends to induce over
eating. However, this condition
il rather rare in children. Lack OF
thyroid secretion may account for
overweight in some few instances.
Diet Restriction
Once II is decided that q child
Is overweight, the physician will
direct as to whether the diet should
be restricted in order to bring
about a weight loss, or just cut
down 70 the point where no fur
Their gain in weight will occur for
some time. The best way Of bring
ing about a loss Of weight is by
cutting down on the amount Of
food eaten, at the same time keep
ing the diet well-balanced.
Children who are fat because
they overeat need follow only .
few simple rules according to Doc
tor Talbot, such as eating no
candy, cakes, cookies, jams or
sugar and no desserts to which
these foods or -four have been
added in any considerable amount;
eating not more than one-half
piece Of bread at a meal or its
equivalent in rice, macaroni, spa
ghetti, potatoes or other starchy
foods; drinking two to three
glasses Of skim milk day, in place
Of regular milk, making up the
diet for the most part Of lear
meat, fish, fresh vegetables anc
fruits, and eating just three
equally-sized meals day.
Such q plan often may bring
about q satisfactory weight loss,

"the fight In ST. Petersburg is basic

The wreck of the cabins and a

The crux of the fight. as brought
out in court hearings, was the ex-
tent to which union could exert

came later. A ghost fox running on
its hind legs meant something even
worse, although the Japs little
dreamed OF the atomic bomb at
that time.
Accordingly the OSS had the
foxes rounded up in our national
forests and sent to a heavily
guarded building at the Central
Park Zoo in New York City. Chem
lists were set to producing the kino
of luminous paint which would make
the foxes glow like balls of fire
ahead of the landing troops when
they hit the beaches of the empire.
Taxldermists were put to produc-
ing stuffed foxes minus hind legs
and tails. much to their bewilder-
ment. The OSS planned to saddle
these objects on their swiftest
sprinters to simulate ghost foxes
running on hind legs.

u. ). Merchant Marine
Problem for Industry,
Ste4man Warns Lines

RecpnverSion Director John r
Steelman suggested yesterday THAT
a healthy American Merchant Ma
/ rine could best be built up by pri-
vate operators developing vessels
in which they are willing to invest
their capital rather than by the
Government taking the initiative
and sole financial responsibility for
building and operating uneconomic
vessels
He offered this suggestion in a
letter to H. Gerrish Smith, presi-
dent OF the Shipbuilders Council OF
America, New York. in reply to 8
protest by Mr.. Smith against a de-
cision to postpone for at least a
year construction at Government
cost of two large passenger liners
for the Latin American trade.
President Truman recently asked
that this construction be held up
since it would require materials now
in short supply and because ship
yards are being kept busy repairing
and reconverting naval and mer-
chant vessels.
May Abandon Program.
Mr.. Steelman'S letter, made pub
lie by the White House, indicated
that plans for building the two
liners, as well as three others in
volved in postwar program laid
out in 1912. eventually might be
abandoned altogether.
The program called for construc-
ton OF the vessels at Government
cost, with the ships to be run by
private operators under subsidy
from the Government.
Mr.. Steelman wrote that he did
not believe that Congress intended
TO have this Government build
ships at the Governments entire
cost, and to have these ships op-
Grated for Government account at
heavy losses by an operator who
would be paid substantial fee for
managing the ship as part Of his
subsidized service"
He added that Congress should
so express ITSELF if it wants this
done
Tax-Exemption Claimed.
He pointed out that a 1896 act
grants American ship operators tax
exemption on profits set aside to
purchase new vessels, as we'll as con-
struction subsidies to equalize the
cost of an Americana built ship with
that of similar foreign built
vessel.
IT. under these circumstances,
Mr.. Steelman said, "a United States
operator is unwilling to invest his
tax-free funds in a particular vessel
it is clear that there can be no eco
nomic justification for the con-
struction of that vessel"
Mr.. Steelman denied statements
by Mr.. Smith that the United
States, while delaying construction
Of the two vessels here, is increasing
steel allotments to England to build
five ships for Chile and that the
Export t-Import Bank has approved
a loan to Chile to finance the ship
construction in England. He said
the bank has never been approached
for such loan, and that Chilean
government representatives in this
country know of no Chilean plan
to have any ships built in England
