Illinois 10 Lead Off
Parade Of Primaries
In Tomorrow's Vote
By the Associoted Press

Illinois voters tomorrow lead of
the spring parade of primaries
the outcome Of which will be re-
fiected in congressional elections
this fall.
At stake is the fate Of President
Truman's fair deal" program in
the next two years.
A third of the 48 States will
hold primaries and conventions
running through June 80 to nom-
mate major party candidate fol
Congress and State Offices.
Senator Lucas, administration
floor leader, has the Illinois Dem
ocratic Senate nomination with
out challenge. Former Represen-
tative Everett M. Dirksen is ex-
pected to win easily over two op-
ponents In the Republican pri-
mary.
Clear-Cut Race Assured.
This will assure a hot, clear-cut
race in November. Mr.. DirkSen
wants to halt deficit financing
and calls further foreign aid
spending pouring money down
a rat hole" Senator Lucas says
deep cuts in the Truman spending
proposals would endanger nation
al defense and encourage commu-
nism abroad.
Seven of the States "a Repre-
sentatives running for renomina-
tion have primary opponents.
They are Democrats OHara and
SABBATH. and Republicans Chiper-
field. Jonas, Hoffman, Reed and
Bishop. Three of the States seats
in the House are vacant because
of deaths or retirements. But
most OF the rivalry in tomorrow's
primary Is between candidates for
local and State Offices.
Big Contests in May.
The Illinois primaries are but
a warm-up for the big bouts in
May. Candidates will be picked
then for seven Senate seats, and
there is at least one flrst-rate
battle in each of six States, with
contests in Alabama over State
committee memberships having
an important bearing in 1852.
New Jersey will hold House pri-
maries April 18.
In campaigns to date, Govern
ment spending, foreign aid, civil
rights and communism have
ranked high as issues. The list
will grow since two-thirds of the
States do not pick candidates until
after June 80.
The Republicans need to pick up
seven Senate and 48 House seats
to regain control of Congress.
On the line are 36 senatorships
in 33 States connecticut, Idaho
and North Carolina, two eachD =,
435 House seat and SO governor
ships.

told the hospitals to cut the red
tape in such emergencies.

Your Health and Weiqht
Eating More Meals, Periodically,
Con Bring About Weight Reduction

mends small but frequently re-
peated meals, the aim being to in
sure perfect digestion of all foods.
while avoiding those which pre-
vent the accumulation Of fat. The
diet is as follows:
At 8 am, about 8 ounces of
lean cold meat. a half slice Of
bread. cup Of tea with milk and
no sugar. Ten am, egg. At
IL o'clock ! cup of strong broth.
At pm, a small dish of meat
soup; about one-third pound of
lean meat. poultry or fish: 3
ounces of potatoes with salad,
and ounces of fresh fruit. Three
pm, ! cup black coffee. Four pm,
6 ounces fresh fruit. Six pm, "
pint Of milk with tea. Eight pm,
4 ounces Of cold meat or 6 ounces
Of meat. raw and grilled, and
eaten with radishes and salads; l
ounce of graham bread and or 3
teaspoonfuls Of cooked fruit with
sugar.
1t can readily be seen that while
not a great amount" Of food is
eaten, anyone trying to follow the
above schedule would have to do
any necessary work right at home,
or take short walks between these
meals periods.
AS we look at the above diet,
it is practically. from the stand
point of food. the same as most
other diets, including the 18-day
diet; that is, 1t cuts down on the
starchy and fat foods but keeps
UP the amounts Of protein (body-
building foods. meat. eggs, fish,
cereals. This is a safe" diet be-
cause strength is maintained by
proteins, whereas in the 1s-day
diet strength is given by use of tea
and coffee.
While it is not possible for all,
or perhaps many, overweightS
to follow this method of small
but frequent meals to reduce
weight. it is certainly a safe
method. While not as much food
is eaten, there is never a time
during the day when the over
weight is likely to feel weak and
exhausted. Over q period of
months the results should be salts
factory-losS of weight, but no
loss of strength.

By jones w. Borton, M. D..

One of the things that i'm
pressed me, in the years before
World War I, was the comfortable
satisfied expression on the faces Of
the British people. When I later
read of the work of research ply
sicians at Yale. which demon
strated that eating five meals a
day instead of three Cbut eating
the same amount of food gave
the individual more energy, I saw
the reason.
Notwithstanding the num-
ber" of meals eaten by the
Britisher, the actual amount of
food eaten by the Britisher. the
actual amount of food eaten in
the "a hours was actually less than
that eaten by the people of the
United States and Canada. And
the proportion of overweights. in
those days, was less in Britain.
Most of us eat because we are
hungry. BY waiting four to six
hours for a meal we acquire a
natural appetite that carries us
through the ordinary courses, and
as dessert at the end of the meal
is always tempting. that is eaten
also. This means that we are so
full of food" that we do not feel
inclined to move about much until
a long time after meals, with the
result that much of the meal gets
deposited as fat on and in the
body.
On the other hand, as the per-
son who eats five times day is
not so full of food after a meal
he is more inclined to take a
walk or other exercise after a
meal, usually outdoors. and so the
excess food eaten is burned up.
AS a matter of fact, the idea of
eating little and often to reduce
weight was suggested years ago,
but the Yale scientists showed
definitely that the five meals a day
enabled factory workers to do Is
per cent more work during the
usual number of working hours.

Someone in the party, on that
New Years Eve "a long months

soft grey eyes filled as she remem-

Day The origin of Boxing Day ante
dates Christmas and can be traced
to the custom of gift-giving during
the Roman festival of Saturnalia.
In Christian liturgy December 26
is observed as the feast Of st.
Stephen, the first Christian martyr,
and during the centuries when jour-
heymen and apprentices were in
the habit of levying upon their mas
ters' customers, Christmas Boxes
were collected on st. Stephens day.
Thus, the children receive their
presents, in boxes, as do old serv-
ants, the postman, and everyone
else. And reminiscent of the Roman
Saturnalia, householders dance
with the servants and, toward
evening, there is revelling in the
streets as groups of merry-makers
gather on street corners or ride
about London-toWn dancing on the
flats of trucks.
