Before taking up the reducing diet some of the popular
reducing regimes should be noted. The average woman is
keenly interested in keeping or recapturing her youthful fig
ure. The result of this interest has been the appearance of

Inc harmless remedies are
Ineffective unless accompanied
by diet or exercise or both, al
though the claim is usually
made that this is unnecessary:
The reducing remedies con
tanning glandular extracts or
drugs may be effective in re-
ducing body weights, but
should never be taken except
on a physicians advice and un-
der his supervision.
The average person who
tries to reduce on his own
usually turns to exercise as a
means of burning up his ex-
cess fat. Exercise does stimu-

OF BODY lat but not to the de-
gree the public believes. Great
exertion or very strenuous
exercise over a considerable
period of time would be nee
essary to effect weight reduc-
ton. This, the average person
is not willing to do. Exercise
is likely to become spasmodic
and irregular unless it affords
interest and diversion for the
individual. Also exercise
makes the appetite grow by
leaps and bounds. Then one
is likely to eat more food than
was burned in exercising thus
making for a gain rather than
a loss in weight. If a person
will carry himself erect, walk
ing is the best form of exer-
else and the simplest to do in
ones everyday life.
Hot baths, cold baths and
salt baths have been suggest
ed for reducing. Hot baths do
stimulate heat production, but
this is temporary and ~ineffec-
tive. Salt baths remove water
from the body, but the water
is quickly reabsorbed, so this
is also Ineffective.

HI NEW COUNCIL

- S00IO1L #r#
THE PEOPLE of st. Croix have spoken, and the new
Council is elected. On January |, 1949 these men will take
office and begin then and there to try to share the destinies
OF St. Croix. It is no simple task. It takes more than that.
Each and every member must stand on his own two feet,
must think for himself, and in terms of what is best for the
majority. These men hold in their hands, as it were, the. flu
ture of this place, and much of what happen will depend
upon how well they made laws to fit changing conditions.
THIS IS no time to cry over spilled milk Undoubtedly
there are many in the community who would have nreferred
to see Others in the Council, but it is too. late now. That is
one of the ways of democracy-that the majority rules. All
that was said and done in the heat of campaign battle must
be forgotten, and all efforts now turned to making St. Croix
a better place in which to live. IF the electorate has erred in
any, or many, of its selections, that, too, is only human.
Again it is too late. What must be done at this stage Of the
game is to check on the work done in the Council for the
next two years, and let the records speak for themselves.
Fortunately, there were returned three of the old number,
who by now should be fully capable of carrying on accord
ing to what is proper.
WHAT THIS Council will face is nothing new, but it
will be graver and more severe, for as time passes conditions
become worse. And this means two things: First, that what
ever remedies are to be given must be given very soon, and
second, the degree will have to be greater. With this in mind
the members of the Legislature must sit down Immediately
and address themselves to the task of curing the economic
ills, and whatever Others there may be.
U ATTITUDE towards the Council will not change,
We will sing praises, or differ as we see fit, but in all this it
must be understood that fundamentally we are working in
the interest Of ST. Croix as we see it. We urge the new Coun-
ell to avoid internal pickering which makes a house divided
against itself to fall. Members must think Of themselves as

There is your answer. If 1t cost,

bread, just do without it and wait

How long will you have to wait?
I'll tell you.
You will never get anything done
about high prices by q Republican
President or q Republican Congress,
Their big corporation hackers don t
want prices to come down.
But with Democratic President
and q Democratic Congress, the
country will get action on high
prices.
We Democrats believe that Ameri-
ca is big enough and prosperous
enough to produce plenty for every
body.
We believe that we Americans
have, it within our power to control
our Nations destiny.
We can have the kind of America
we want if the people vote for it
on election day.
That is where you can do your
part. Make sure that all your
friends know what the issues are.
Don't let the Republicans hide
from the truth. That is what they
are trying to do now.
We can take heart from q COM
ment made by that great American

ming as hard as they could trying
to keep from falling behind. And
workers have been losing the race
While weekly earnings have gone
up % per cent, prices have gone up
20 per cent.
White-collar workers, retired peo-
pie, disabled veterans. and others on
fixed incomes have taken an even
worse beating.
1t all could so easily have been
avoided
The Republicans viii, of course,
tell you that every price increase
has been made necessary by wage
increases.
Since OPA was killed, big business
has made every cost-of Living wage
increase the excuse for raising
prices. And those price increases
have paid for the wage increases
many times over.
Points To Steel Industry.
Look at the steel industry, for
example. It had a wage increase
recently which will cost it 160 mil
non dollars. So it increased prices
enough to bring in 900 million dol
lars more-more than 81 times as
much as the industry needed to
cover the wage increase.
No wonder corporate profits have
increased 10 per cent since the end
Of OPA.
That's the true story of why
prices are 80 high.
That's the story you'll never get
from the big corporations.

I called a special session of the

In the state Of the union message
this last January, I said that the
high cost of living was the most

Congress. Still the Republicans re-
fused to act. And prices climbed
still higher.
So called this years special
session in July. And the Republican
Congress again refused to act.

service. The Congress is one Of the
great bulwarks Of our liberties. That
is why I am unhappy when the
control of the Congress falls into bad
hands.
I am not attacking all the in

could for the people. I might add
that most of that kind were Demo-

Leadership Made Record.
But the 80th Congress was con-
trolled by its Republican leadership.
That is the same leadership that
would control the next Congress if
the Republicans were in the major
ity. That is the leadership that
made the record that tells you what
you can expect from the Republi-
can party.
1t was an unholy alliance between
the Republican Party and big busi-
ness that actually created the most
pressing domestic problem facing the
country today-the high cost of hv-
ing.
Let me give you some history.
During the war, such q large part
of our national production was re-
quired for war purposes that we
were not able to meet all the civilian
demands at home. OF course, when
the demand for goods greatly ex-
ceeds the supply, prices naturally
go up.

yelt proposed, and a Democratic
Congress adopted. price controls. We

Break for Witnesses

In considering any proposal for improv-
ing the procedures of congressional COM
mittees, it should always be remembered
that an investigating committee of Con-
greSs does not, cannot and should not
function as court of law.
The primary purpose of congressional
investigation should be to assemble facts
so Congress can determine whether it
wishes to legislate with respect to par
ticular matter. This is vitally important
function. But it is not analogous to
trial, and it should not be hedged about
with the restraints that have been laid
upon judicial proceedings. In the past
many of these congressional inveStiga-
tions have been characterized by practices
that are undesirable witnesses have been
bullied and browbeaten. Regulations have
been smeared, often with little or no
reason. Rights presumably protected by
the Constitution have been violated, and
seldom is there any effective redress. But
when all of these evils are totted up, the
balance still is clearly in favor of the
investigative process. Without it many
a scandal would have gone undetected and
many fragrant abuses would have escaped
correction.
Granting this, however, it hardly follows
that nothing can be done to improve
committee procedures in the interest of
giving a better break to those who are
summoned to testify before congressional
Investigators.
For ten years the House Committee on
Un-American Activities has been widely
criticized for its alleged abuses. Some of
this criticism has been in the nature of
a smoke screen set up by those who wished
to hide their own activities. But the COM
plants of other critics have been valid,
and two members of the committee
Representatives Mundt and Nixon-have
now come forward with recommendations
for changes in the committees methods.
These proposals have as their main
objectives greater protection for the rights
OF witnesses and minimizing of the three
ring circus aspect of some of the commit
tees hearings. A question has been raised
by Representative Rankin as to whether
the committee can adopt any procedural
changes, since it operates under the rules
OF the House. But this hardly is primary
consideration. For if the committee can
work changes in its rules of procedure
which will meet the valid objections that
have been raised, and which will not
impair the effectiveness of the investiga-
tive process, it ought to do So The chances
are that the next House will be only too
willing to approve any such changes.
