Keeping Slim?

3! MIA Jean -sail

According to I survey. many mlucers turn right around and pile the poundsfback on. Others "gain the weight after only a few rnontbs' time has elapsed. 11'; easy to figure out why: these turn-abouts continue to think like overwelghts on the subject of food. and so go back to eating .5 usual. s

Having lost the excess pounds. go you really want to keep them off? immediately your answer is . 1-ggoundinj YES. .But which do you want more - to keep your (ood figure or to lapse back into your old fattening ways of cat-

ing.

At this point you are likely to counter with "Do I always have to diet?" That is confus- ing the issue. The choice is not between continuing to diet or re- gaining the lost weight. Since you no longer have to stay on a diet. the choice is between going back to over-eating or eating for nor- nal weight. i

Here it is mathematically: To reduce. you had to cut calories ilmost in half in order to force nature to draw on the stored fat. To hold the loss. all that is necessary is to stay within your

Perlecls Method For Rewhiiening Nylon

MONTREAL (CP) -Donald J. Crawford. a dyeing and finishing expert. has perfected an "optical illusion" method of getting grey- hg nylons back to their pristine ehiteness. -

daily calorie quota. If there are no extra calories. you couldn't possibly gain back the float pounds.

You may complain that this plan still cuts out some of the foods you like best. If you mean rich desserts twice a day, you are right - that's out! That is trying to have your cake and eat it too. Go back to your fat- tening food habits and you'll go back to your former weight. You may be able to get away with it for a time. but sooner or later: the food habits that put on the pounds in the first place will eventually do it again.

How to change and think like a slim. attractive woman? You do it by appreciating the science of nutrition that enables you to keep your figure. stay young longer. and be in the pink of condition. The real secret of keeping beauti- ful normal welght is to change your thinking. Once you sell your- self on the idea that the protec- tive way eating is the best pos- sible plan. you'll no longer be tempted to return, to fattening food habits. In this way. food habits are changed for good - then keeping slim is a natural.

For a slight discoloration. he recommends washing the garment in the usual manner with ordinary detergents and rinsing twice in clear. warm water. Then put a tablespoon of optical bleach or nylon whitener into a basin or hot water. Squeeze the water through the fabric for 10 to 15 minutes until the solution has penetrated every fold.

LONGER METHOD

For garments that are realbv dis- colored Mr. Crawford has a four- step procedure:

Wash and rinse the article in the usual manner. Dissolve one package of commercial color re- mover in an enamel basin con- taining about one gallon of hot water. Stir the article gently in the ' ' for 30 minutes. If whiteness is restored evenly. rinse it tborou y in hot water until no odor of e color remover remains. If whiteness is not satisfactory leave the garment in solution for

it 30 minutes.

If the garment is very grey, the third step in this method is to soak it for so minutes in a gallon of warm water containing two tablespoons of liquid chlorine bleach or an equal amount of syn- thetic detergent. Then rinse all odor of bleach from the garment.

Mr. Crawford says the most common causes of greying nylon are inadequate washin and rins- ing. hard water. and t e transfer

dyes when several garments are laundered together.

S. O. S. From . Alcol1oIic's Wile

DEAR MARY HAWOBTH: on behalf of the National Commit- tee on lisln. may I that your colusnn of February dealing with the dlstrait wife of an alcoholic. was of special in- ierest to us. Your advice in this instance clearly shows the- tic understanding

far-reaching success of Anonymous, commended by you: and' we too recommend the AA program to a very large percent- age of our inquiries. We do. how- ever. feel that no one program of treatment can suit each case; and. as a result of cooperative planning by leading specialists. we now have a variety of dies to offer victims of iliction. i

In addition to the AA. program. these include medical and psychia- tric clinics. private therapists and physicians keenly interested and competent in treating alcoholic addiction. For the family of an alcoholic who is resisting the treatment. we find that education about the disease of alcoholism. plus professional counselling in human relations. are "muata" in helping all concerned.

Insight Better Than sympathy

Better by far is the insight

gained by education. than the merely sympathetic car which only temporarily eases the cru- cial tension of an alcoholic ep- isode. . Our committee is working to remove the stigma from alco- holic illness. and clear up cen- turies-old misconceptions about it. We strive to educate the pub- lic regarding the difference be- tween voluntary drunkenness. and the . .... .. of r . slve alcoholism. Thus we value open recognition of the problem and its possible solution, such as-your article affords:

From our office at 2 103rd Street. New York City 29. we distribute a vast ' of literature. covering all aspects of the problem of alcoholism and its treatment. And any of your readers who may wish to avail themselves of this info. ation 'lI10llId feel free to write to us. Our national network of affiliates and information centers is a source of help unknown to many people . . .

Sincerely yours. Robert Entwistle NCA. Inc.

Revolutionary New Concepts

DEAR MR. E.: Thanks for your instructive letter. here revised and condensed a bit. I think it is useful for readers to have your headquarters address. and 1 ho all interested will prompt, c p and save this article for future reference.

They might also ask you for Mrs. Marty Mann's booklet "Can We C Alcoholism"-copy of which on enclosed in your pac- ket o literature addressed to this column. I

I am impressed with her open- ing paragraph. to wit: "We are not dealing here with a minor problem. We are dealing with what a former Assistant lur- geon General of the United Ctates Public Health Service has rightly called 'our greatest unsolved pub- llc-health probiem'."

solved t it is a new prob- lem. It remains unsolved because it is a problem we have never faced. The majority of people in their ignorance and fear scarcely admit of its existence. Alcoholism has for too long been a taboo sub- ject, as tuberculosis used to be 40 years ago . . . This situation must be changed . . ."

Then she lists "three simple concepts" which embody the rev-

olutionary attitude of latterday medicine towards alcoholism. namely: 1. Alcoholism is a dis-

ease. and the alcoholic is a sick person. 2. The alcoholism can he helped and is worth helping. 3

Alcoholism is a public health problem and therefore a public responsibility.

She cites NCA as "a program of community action" and "a beginning towards the, solution of a problem appalliilg in its devastation and waste.' In 1051. when the pamphlet was written. 55 affiliate committees were al- ready operating throughout the nation. reporting encouraging progress - which persuades Mrs. Mann tht "we can solve the problem of alcoholism in Amer- ica. if wlei will; I.

It was Granddaughter who, this afternoon. spied the March snow- drops. strange first-flowers of the Iprlnl. pushing up through the dark cold earth the small green leaves and edging white promise of blossoms.

"A day or so of warm winds and sunshine" she nodded, ”and they will be in bloom.” There was sunshine today. We remember now. how fetching was its sheen on the mlllpond, in its shades of light remindful of the silken gowns of olden days, the changing "shot" taffetas that to a little girl's admiration rustled in demure whispers of sound up a Church aisle on a Sabbath of remembered summers . . .

How easy it was then for us to forget the Israelites gatheringe Caleb and Juhuaand the old Minister's words ash he would give us glimpses of that fair and promised land.

On the hither side of Jordan. in a pew with parents and kin we planned our pins as little girls will. A gown like that we should have when we were grown: a blue one intriguingly shaded with lreea. Or would one of green be more becoming, shot with yel- low? A rose overshadowed with subtle dusky tones. would that not suit our coloring better? And a cream gown we should have. with of course one of crisp black. not for Church but for funerals . . . to be worn with a wide hat of black and one-no two sweeping ostrich plumes. also black. and laeey half-fingered gloves.

And no elderly one we should have: that we settled in mind. gown or no gownl And one eyening when the out- door and indoor lights were fus- ing prsttily and the peace and reverence of the hour lay quietly about. with no alien soun to dis- turb it except perhaps where a presuming horse fidgeted at the hitching-rail not far from the partly-open window, we were deep in such dreaming. And under cov- er of prayer-time from the pew ahead a lad a little our senior turned and made a teasing face to set, for that moment. all our nice plans tumbling. Better we decided. demurely dropping eyes. to wear a dress of muslin .or gingham like we were wearing and be a maiden lady forever. than to own a dozen fine gowns, favors of one of the like of those! 0 O 0

After years of experimentation and clinical research. Dr. Albert Sseat-Gyorgl. Nobel prize winner. isolated the' bioflavonoidl. which are found is plentiful supply in citrus fruits. especially oranges and lemons. . And what are bioflavonoids?

Important to Diet

They are substances present in the white material and in the cov- ering of the juice sacs of citrus fruits. They are highly important in the dietary scheme because they act with. and greatly increase the effectiveness of. vitamin C in maintaining the health of the cap- illaries. part of the circulatory system.

As we all know. the work of the capillaries in the human body is almost staggering to consider. All the life-giving ingredients found in the blood peas across the capillary walls of this huge network. The medical profession reports that it is clearly indicated there is no dis- eased state in which the capillar- ies are not detrimentaliy affected.

"Protective' 'FoodI

It is obvious that as far as pos- sible we should include in our daily menu plentiful supplies of the foods known as "protective". in order to help maintain health. Orange juice has proved to be of great service in this regard. But whole oranges. with their, high concentration of bioflavanoids. when taken during the day or evening in addition to the custom- ary morning orange juice, will greatly accentuate the effec- tiveness of vitamin C in its work

The budget gets a break in one of the nicest of the new Spring furniture fashion shows. After all. it's young people planning their first home who are the biggest buyers of furniture and accessories at one time. Most of the rest of us have to be content with occasion- ally doing over a room. or adding a piece here'and there. '

The new grouping consists of two bedrooms. a combination liv- ing and dining room. and two din- ing rooms.

Mostly. the furniture is in the elegant 18th century style. with fabrics decidedly modern. since they are mostly synthetic, and the use of color is certainly ultra modern. The decorator has em- ployed the same furniture throughout to create a smart and spacious atmosphere that is most beguiling.

The wood is mahogany in a honey-light finish that is very modern in feeling and goes well with the pieces that are lightly scaled. The soft beige of the fin- ish is repeated in walls, bed- spreads. csnopy and window drap- eries in one of the bedrooms.

Special Color Note

The monochro ti: scheme is sharply punctuated by a cotton rug in robin's egg blue. the color picking up the dominan hue in the drapery fabric design. Teal blue for the seats of side chairs and for the velvet or picture mats. is a rich and smart touch.

Canopy and spread are in beige antique satin, tx'mmed with tas- sel fringe. The sheer beige rayon curtains are hung from a brass rod.

A pair of beige plastic-covered walls offer something different in another room that goes in for col- or provided by twn.tsngerine-up- bolstered sofas. one either side of the room. which has a very spac- ious look even if it is a living-din- ing room.

The rug is mustard in hue. and instead of window draperies, this room has a pair of narrow pan- eled screens covered with a syn- thetic. easily cleaned fabric done in a print of yellow roses and beige-bronze leaves.

Again. instead of the usual large coffee table to which young mod- eras are so addicted, this room goes in for three marble-topped brass tables. making for a good. tlexible arrangement such as two tables placed together to make one long. and the other placed at the other side of the room.

Olive, white and nasturtium make up the attractive color scheme of one of the dining rooms. while the other room. rather Far East in feeling. goes in for cola- don. gold black and. again. the nasturtium, in a rich, lively shade.
