equal in calories to a glass of
milk, but it does not contain
the other healthful materials
found in milk. The caIories
vary with different beverages
depending on the amount of
alcohol and the total solids
they contain. Liquor makes
some people flabby fat; others
it keeps thin. It usually adds
to your weight. Besides, if you
fill up on beer and liquor you
do not eat the foods you need.
So, best avoid them in a re-
ducing regime.
Often it takes 2 to 4 weeks
to see any reduction in weight
even when the diet is rigidly
followed. Failure to lose
weight Immediately is due to
storage of water in the tissues.
This, however, is temporary &
a loss is bound to occur unless
overweight is due to some
other cause than simple indul-
gence in food. This is discour-
aging to those who look for
the pounds to melt off over
night and the diet is often
abandoned without a fair trial.
So a sincere desire to lose
weight is the most important
requisite of a reducing pro-
gram.
Once the desired weight is
reached adjust your eating so
that you will remain slim. Be
sure to weigh yourself regular
ly so the pounds will not creep
upon you as they will be just
as hard to lose the next time.

toes IN a reducing diet as these
foods have been given the err
ronous impression of being
fattening. It is worth know
ing that there are no fattening
foods. Any food can cause a
substantial gain in weight if
taken in sufficient quantities
for a long enough period of
time.
AT first the restriction in the
amount of food may cause
some discomfort but when
care is taken to include the es-
sential nutrients the stomach
will adjust itself to the change.
During the meal time eating
slowly and thorough chewingG
of the food will help greatly
to curb the appetite. When
tempted to eat between meals
a cup Of tea or coffee-straight
or with a teaspoon Of sugar or
a serving Of broth or clear
soup will be found to be help-I
full. Also a glass Of milk, a
serving of fruit juice or a piece
of fruit may be taken instead
of at the meal time. Although
sometimes restricted, the sky
is the limit for water in a rel
ducing program. It has no cal
ORIG value and often slaves off
annoying hunger pangs.
Water may be taken at any
time, with the meals or be-
tween meals and whenever
you feel thirsty.
We eat partly because we get
hungry. But some people, in
Guiding the most Of us, eat for
the fun of eating. If you eat
between meals or overeat at
meal time for the pleasure,
cast about for some other way
Of entertaining yourself. Doing
without pies, pastries, cakes,
all rich desserts, eating less
cereal, bread, potatoes and
butter than you are used toll
and avoiding carbonated bev-
erages and liquors will bring
about a satisfactory loss in
weight without a diet.
Here some recognition
should be given to liquors.

Forrestal Asks
For More Power
Over Military

Washington, Dec. 30-(AP)-
Secretary of Defense Forrestal
set the stage today for a pos
slble new fight in Congress with
his plea for greater power over
the nations armed services.
AT the same time, the Cabinet
offer declared this country must
help re-arm non-Communist Eu-
rope even though the cost may
necessitate hard decisions by our
people.
For itself, the United States
sis less vulnerable today" that it
was when the Army, Navy and
Air Force were unified a year
ago last September, Forrestal
said.
But he added that his is not
enough: we must do all in our
to re create the con-
fidence and hope of Europe
Forrestal did not say what
hard decisions he had in
mind. But plainly he meant the
possibility of higher taxes n d
more shortages at home while
more American dollars a d
goods are poured into the dixie
being erected against Russian
Communist aggression.
Ills first annual report, made
public last night, was devoted
largely to a review of the mill
tary establishment under his di-
rection, together with recomen-
dations to the white house for
changes in the unification law.
But it was spiced by a terse
but intriguing notation that mill
tary scientists are working on
an earth satellite vehicle pro-
gram" : perhaps man made
moon from which great destruc-
ton might be heaped on any
threatening nation.
The chief, but not unexpect-
ed, recommendation from For :
restal was that the unification
act be amended to give the de-
tense secretary more direct au-
thority over the three armed
services.

Truman Plunges

Washington, Dec. 30-(AP)-
President Truman-safely back
from his Christmas holiday af-
ter dramatic talk-down land
ing through fog and rain-plung-

tions for the new congress.
Mr.. Truman gave a group of
top officials some long, jittery
moments yesterday while his
plane groped down radar lane

ter circling in the mist for more
than 40 minutes.

message, which he will deliver
in person on Wednesday; his
economic report and then his
budget requests for the year
starting July /; and a vital for
elgn policy wrap-up which Con-
gress will get later in the month.
Despite that heavy schedule
and the tricky landing which
wound up his Christmas holiday,
it was a smiling, jaunty chief
executive who greeted the re-
1ieyed crowd of about 100 per-
sons at the airport.

Washington, Dec. 30-(AP) -
President Truman apparently is
determined to hold military
costs next year to the lowest
figure he considers safe in the
present uneasy state of tn e
world.
He is said to be eager to avoid
straining this country's produc-
ton to a point where rationing
and price controls would have to
be clamped back on.
The Presidents advisers be-
lieve he will ask Congress once
again next week for standby
controls.
But that barring some great
new world emergency you prob
ably can count on getting
through the next year of huge
foreign aid and rearmament
programs without any new home
front curbs actually in force.

rises because evrything this ma
ton does aboard has its effects

Farm Parity
Ratio Dips
To Low Level

Washington,1 Dec. 30 lap
The farmer isn't doing as well
financially as he has been for
the past six years.
Parity ratio" - the yard
stickf for measuring farm pros
perfty - has dipped to the low
est level since September, 1912,
the Agriculture Department an
nounced late yesterday.
Farity ratio is based on the re-
lahon between prices farmers
get for the things they sell and
the prices of the things they buy.
It includes an allowance for in
terest and taxes.
As of mid December, the
parity ratio stood at 1O9 - one
point higher than the Septem :
Der, 1912, figure. The Decem-
ber ratio was a drop of one
point from mid November, 10
points below January, 1948 and
"a points under the record high
of 1873 in October, 1916.
Average prices received by
farmers in md December
were the lowest since February,
1947. The price index for all
farm commodities during the
monh slid three points to 268-
397psints, or 13 per cent, below
last January's record high of
