IS Million Trying
To Cut Down Weiqht

CHICAGO.-The business of
supplying low-calorie foods for
Americans trying to lose weight
has grown into a $100 Million
dollar-a-year industry.
One estimate is that IS million
Americans average Is pounds
overweight. Special foods are
made to please the dieters' pal
ates and keep up their strength.
With salt, sugar, oils and fats
removed, some of these foods
have only one-twentieth of the
calories of comparable conven-
tional products.
