So often we hear women say, "I
cannot diet because I am anemic
and have to build my blood up"
Naturally if you are Under a doc
tors care you should do exactly
what he tells you to do in the mat
ter of diet. Anemia is nothing to
fool with. At best it makes you
tired and pale and it lowers your
resistance for Withstanding serious
diseases.
However, there are probably as
many fat women who are anemic
as there are thin ones. AS a mat
ter of fact overweight suggests
overindulgence in rich devitalized
foods with likely deficiency in the
more vital items. Many of the foods
on a reducing diet are rich in iron
and are, therefore, blood builders
If you have too few red blood cor
puscles it does not necessarily mean
that you cannot lose weight. You
might ask your doctor about this.
If your reducing diet is we'll planned
and not a starvation diet it will
contain many blood building food
stuffs.

AFRICAN VIOLETS.

(From Mrs. J. B. H., Arlington.)
The cyclamen mite attacks the
African violet. This is a pest you
will know by its effect rather than
by its appearance. since it is visible
only with the aid of hand lens.
Furthermore it works inside the
terminal buds and so is out Of
reach of sprays The damage it
causes is easily discernible, even in
the early stages. The hairiness and
deforming and stunting of the
leaves. particularly in the center
can be confused with no other
trouble. Leaves may also be cupped
upward or rolled downward. Since
mites spread by contact, be sure
to wash your hands before handling
other plants. The wisest course with
a badly infected plant is to de-
stroy 1t.
Evening star., 1948-04-30
Why Grow Old?

For instance, some of the foods
which are rich in iron are, liver
and beef, spinach, lettuce, beets,
milk, egg yolk and whole wheat
bread. Most green vegetables and
meats are fine sources of iron. Liver
is one of the very best and you
can have broiled liver on your re-
ducing diet as often as you wish.
Today's exercise:
Lie on your back with your legs
straight and your arms on the floor
at your sides. Bend both knees
up as you raise your head from
the floor and try to touch your
knees with your nose or bring them
as close together as you can. Re-
turn legs and head to the floor
Do not lift the shoulders from the
floor-only the head. This is a
splendid neck and abdominal exer-
else and is not strenuous.
If you wish to have my nine-day
reducing diet which gives you a
loss of from five to 10 pounds in
nine days time and has physi-
clans ok, send a stamped, self
addressed envelope with your re-
quest for leaflet No. 80 to Josephine
Lowman care The Evening Star.

Association. which felt that the only
way to get a realistic and WELL
rounded picture of today's family
was to hold conference for taking
stock of the whole topic, with sub
sequent planning together. The
backing of organizations represent
ing doctors, lawyers, businessmen,
labor leaders, ministers and rabbis,
housewives and school teachers, So
cial workers, family counselors, pro-
fessors, women's magazine editors
and young people and students-a

SonS-WaS secured.
