Why Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Look at the average woman in
her 30s and 40s. and from then
on, and you will find that a pro-
Itruding abdomen adds years to
her age and often spoils an other
wise good figure. 1t is the unusual
woman who has a fiat front. Pads
of fat accumulate with the years
and muscles become lax without
special exercise.
Doing housework is not enough.
lit does not use these big muscles
as abdominal exercises do. Walk
ing is fine exercise but 1t will not
Danish this pad of fat.
With fall staring you in the
face and winter clothes coming
out of mothballs, we take a, new
look at our silhouettes and Won
der how they will appear in last
years and this years costumes.
With this in mind I am giving
you two emergency exercises to-
day.
/. Lie on your back with your
legs straight and your arms rest
ing on the floor overhead. Raise
the left arm and the left leg at
the same time and touch the I'm
gers to the toe, or the ankle, If
you cannot reach the toe. Lower
leg and arm simultaneously. This
time raise the right arm and the
right leg and touch, lowering both
to the floor at the same time. Keep
the knees stiff throughout this ex-
|ercise. Take time to stretch out,
making yourself as long as pos
sible between leg and arm rails
ings.
2. Lie on the floor on your back,
legs straight and arms resting on
the floor, extending out from your
shoulders; this exercise is stream
lining to the hips and the abdo-
men. Roll onto the left side as
you bend both knees up close to
the abdomen. Roll onto back as
you straighten the legs. Roll
onto the right side as you bend
both knees, straighten the legs as
you roll onto the back. Continue.
Do not touch the feet to the
floor after beginning this exercise
but bring the heels close to the
floor.
If you would like to have my
tested abdominal reducing exer-
cises which will take q few inches
from your abdomen in a few
weeks time. send a stamped. self
addressed envelope with your re-
quest for leaflet No. 2. Address

Diamonds
Anger
Cure

Diamonds were once believed to
cure many diseases, including in
sanity and plague. In fact, belief
in the therapeutic properties of
the brilliant gem persisted in
many forms for several centuries,
The diamond was also consid-
cred a fitting emblem of modesty,
purity, innocence in the days of
the early Romans. For that rea-
son, the diamond was the gem
most used between husband and
wife for curing anger, that humor
of the Spleen" as a sure means
of reconciliation and enhance
ment Of their love. This is still
reflected in the engagement and
wedding diamond gifts exchanged
today, beginning with the engage
ment ring bestowed by the fiance.

manufacture of barbiturates
for domestic consumption. At
the same time, production for
export has fallen off.
Barbiturates are compounds
formed with barbituric acid and
are used in medicine to induce
sleep. There is little danger in
their use on advice by a doctor.
However, even prescribed
doses, if taken habitually over a
prolonged period, can cause
signs of narcotic poisoning -
headaches, dizziness, mental de-
preston.
Taken in overdoses, they can
be fatal. One danger is that the
person taking sleeping pills can
take an overdose without realiz-
ing it. The first pill makes him
drowsy and forgetful. and he
doesn't remember having taken

Barbiturates- in their most
common form known as Sleep
ing pill" the menace of
the medicine chest, Food and
Drug Administration officials
believe.
FDA men long have battled
for more effective control of the
drug, of which they say enough
is produced here each year to
put every man, woman and
child to sleep every night of the
year.
Barbiturates are compare
lively easy to obtain and, in
some cases, are more dangerous
than the normal narcotic drugs
such as morphine and cocaine.
For this reason, FDA officials
say. stronger controls are
needed.
In recent years, there has
been a heavy increase in the

it, and he takes another. This
process may be repeated until a
fatal dose is taken.
Another danger pointed out is
that the northumberland may
believe that he can take in
creased amounts of the drug.
But unlike morphine and CO.
caine, there is no tolerance built
up through continued use. A
person can take barbiturates on
prescribed amounts ever a long
period. and then if the dose is
increased, it still can be fatal.
About so grains are con-
sidered a fatal dose.
Barbiturates have been
termed the suicide drug"
Since 1888, suicides and acct
dental deaths from overdose of
sleeping pills have jumped l.
