In an article of interest to house- wives: "Stop Killing Your Hus- band!" by Louis I. Dublin in the August issue of the Reader's Di- gest. he writes; "In forty years as the statistician of a large liie-in- surance company. I have come to the conclusion that many men who die before their time could have been saved if their wives had taken more seriously a wife's responsibil- lfy to watch over her man."

"Life insurance statistics are proof of the axiom; The shorter the waistline the longer the life-

line. The effort to maintain a fashionable silhouette keeps wom- on watching their weight and diet. The result has aided their health as well as their appearance. Un- fortunately, fashion has failed to have It similiar effect on men. And the little woman. taking pride in providing her husband with lus- HOU8 pies. cakes and hot breads goes on contributing l to his over- weight." ,

He suggests that instead of these she nerve lower-caloried. less vita- i-run-rich foods. continuing. "She can stop keeping snacks in the ice- hox and throw away the cookie jar." But James. husband of ours. is not overweight; neither it ap- pears is he comfortable at the mo- ment. "Ellen!" he calls from the kitchen. in no faint tones, he hav- ing apparently put by his reading. "It's bad enough to suffer with this aim-but to be starved along with it! . . .

This is often a serious matter. as overrapld heart may become tired and heart failure occur.

While these overactive thyroid glands can usually be detected by what is known as the metabolism rate or test, there may be is ques- tion in the physicians and. surg- eon's mind as to what is prese t in the lump or enlarged gland.
