Althoulb it is true that IOmI ‘n or underweight individuals ve a good appetite and eat more d than those of equal or ~ Eight and build, it is a known fact

P001:

at most underweights do l...

ve a good appetite. nor do they

t as much food as those of nor-

l weight. It is true. of course, that. where R0 thyroid gland in the neck is eractive igoiter). the individual lay have a good appetite and eat ore than one of normal weight. It

because the extra juice man-

ctured by the thyroid gland urries all the bodv process and urns or uses up the extra food

latch.

On the other hand. most over- weights have a good appetite and lctually eat more food than those hr normal Weight. It is true that Where the thyroid gland is under- lctive. the overweight individual may not eat as much as one of nor- inal weight. He accumulates excess {at bccause there is not enough liyroid juice being manufactured to use or btll"l lip the fat eaten. Ind it gets stored in the body.

a1 much food to maintain body ha“ and encr3y—hcnce, less desllo for food and so less food eaten. Thus, it has been found that when the individual or normal weight is at complete rest, his daily food requirements is about 2.700 calories. whereas the daily food need of the underweight at complete rest is only 2.000 calories.

The thought. then. is that not- withstanding all the conditions affecting overweight and under- weight in regard to gland con- ditions, exercise, resr, and sleep. in all cases of overweight less food should be eaten. This is because all food or calories needed by the body for energy can ‘e obtained from excess fat on the body. Sim- ilarly. more food must be eaten daily by the underweight if weight is to be increased. OVERVUEIGHI‘ AN l)

Dorothy DIX Says- Parental Curbs

Girl of 12 Complains of Muller Deciding ode of llrass

i

DEAR. MISS DIX: I am l2 years old sod in the eight-b grade. I get. along very nicely with everybody except my mother. She makes me very unhappy because she tries to make me different from the other girls when I want to be just like them. I want to dress just like the other girls do, but she mskes me wear thing; that, she calls “individual?

She has my hat: bobbed with s. wave to the end, while every girl of my ale has a hair-do that comes down to her shoulders with big, thick curls. She makes me wear oxfords, while the other girls wear bobby-socks and loafers. All the girls in my class have those navy blue short coats with a wide collar, or a black and white check short coat. but. my mother insists that I wear the upper part of a snow suit, which looks awful.

My parents are not. intentionally unkind. They Silent $200 on books for me that I don't even want,t.o read. but I would love to have a new dress like the other girls have. I beg my mother to ~ee my point. but. she won't do it.‘ She says I am sinful and wicked and begins to cry when I talk to her. What can I do?

r

ANN

ANSWER: lf it is any comfort to you, Ann, there are just scads cf other girls of your age who have mothers Just like yours, who are determined to dress their daughters up according to their taste, in- stead of the poor little bobby-soxers’ own. _I know because I was one if em, and to this day I remember how I longed and begged for a. Filmed White apron with lace on it like all the other girls in my class lliifl. and how I nevcr got. it because my mother didn't think that such a fancy garment. was suitable for school wear. _ ‘

WANT T0 BE [N SWIM

I think that mothers make l. terrible mistake when they do not realize that. all children are copycats and they don't want to be in- (nviduui, or picturesque. or have clothes that are cheaper or more ex- pensive than the other kids have, They just. want to be rubber stamps of M: ‘v and Sally and Susie. And Mother should gratify their desire.

Mother may be right. Maybe her taste is better than Sally's. But as long as she can make a little girl happy by giving her a hair- cu" like Jamie's or the some width ribbon to wear on her hair that Gladys does, why not do it‘!

lJliL-‘IR. DOROTHY DIX: My wife and I have been married for ten years and have been so happy that I would like to tell the young men especially some of the things that I have done to make such a success. First. I consider my wife in everything we do, and we do everything together. My work keeps me pretty busy, so I do not have much time to be with her, but whatever happens I take one evening off each week to be either with her at home, if she prefers it. or to go to some place of amusement. And I spend every Sunday with her.

I keep my worries to myself and try to be very gay and cheerful at home and to show her the best oi’ times when we go out together. When I find out that L cannot be home for meals I telephone her so sho can plan her work accordingly, or go out somewhere if she wants to.

I find that my wife feels very grateful to me for all the considera- tion I show her and that she appreciates very much any little atten- tions. I also show her that I am proud of her and that pleases her I bezieve if more husbands followed these rules there would not be so many dissatisfied wives.

BAB.

Q .

ANSWER: Well. Bab. I do not wonder that. your wife is a happy and contented one with a husband who treats her as if she were a. Lady Love. instead of Just a household convenience. Any woman with such s husband would feel that she had drawn I. prize in the matrimonial lottery.

Your rules for keeping a wife eating out of you: hand_,are so good that I am printing them in full in the hope that they will in- spire other young husbands to follow them.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: How can I break my fiance from tak- ing me for granted? We have been engaged for two years, with no prospects of getting married soon due to the lack of an apartment. He makes me so furious that all I can think of is that if he takes me for granted. before we me married, what. um I to expect after we no married? -

I know the situation will not. improve. Rot-bar. it. will become

But James himself -bless himl -would have had wings on an occasion like that. There would have been no lingering to shave. Neither would such an event have caughtnhim unprepared. There wasonce, now that I recall it-and I smile wish fully about it, for I find the years have effected many changes in the community _ when circumstances caught him rather unaware though be quickly remedied the situation.

One morning when s foal was expected. Now to James the ad» vent of a. foal has always been akin in importance to that of a. baby. And how he loves all small ones! Why, not long since he all but delayed a funeral processmn when he stopped to admire a brown-eyed laddle, he was sure looked "something like Jamie."

1 O O

In our earlier years at Alderleu. James always drew confidence and comfort. at the birth of a foal from the presence of m. A. Mr. A. liv- ed on a farm "in the road" and distinctly had a. way with stock. Kind peaceful man that he was. gone some years‘ now_ at a good age, to the Great Beyond. He was a horseman, regarding them sf- fectionately, almost as humans and owned many a fine animal in hls day. so it was that in time of any illness at the stable or new birth there, less experienced farmers sought his advice and help. That morning at: Aldcrlea, word came to the kitchen that Mr. A. was to be brought»hasti_l,\'.._Ne\v garage doors were thrown open. and a car now of most pleasant memory was backed out, an-l James was off down the lane, the sound of his going breaking into the stillness of that delectable June morning. Gates were common bar- riers then at. the end of farm- lanes, and I remember the silenc. there at the opening of it. which must have irked James nzuch in his haste. I O O

There must be no P8115‘- on ‘he return trip. I hurried down through the freshness and frag- rance and dew and waited to close the gate. I can still recall the fleet- ing snule writh which James favor- ed me in passing. as without stop- ping or lessening speed, but with eyies fixed ahead, he urged the car up the lane, Mr. A. at his side. “We were not s minute too soon" James remarked, with s‘ rc- lleved sigh when later they cums in to breakfast. The foal? She was l. Winsome animal, with great wonderin! eyes, the name of c rnane_ and white markings "Just like her old grandmother" for 1L the world" Jaunes said, much pleas- ed, at the memory of s faithful
