ELLEW3 DIARY

By An Island Farmer's Wlfa

These are dais, the steady march of which we would stay- these lovely July days, freshly dew-kist at morning, wrapped in I lazy wave of heat. by afternoon and bathed in a pleasant coolness at night. . . . But this evening in- doors the heat of day still lingers. "No covers!" Jamie said at retir- ing and Gage, it i ilisli lad. sun- tnnncd now and dark against the White of his bed. re-echoed his words.

SAUSAGES

Better with

That Body Of Yours

By James W. Bu-tan. am). i .

OBESITY IS PREVENTABLE

Now that overweight is consid- ered a disease and requires regular treatment, as with any other dia- eaae. we are reading much about the various methods of getting rid of excess fat. Among these meth- ods is the use of drugs such as Am- phetamine (benzcdrine sulfate), Dexedrine, Atropine, Digitalis. Also in considerable use are gland ex- tracts -. thyroid, pituitary. adrenal and sex. While the drug method of reducing weight gets results by de- pressing the appetite for food and the gland method by speeding up the body processes and creating more heat. it is only too true that reducing the food intake is the surest and safest. method.

In Medical Jriuriiiil of Australia, Dr. Chandler Brooks, Johns Hop- kins l-lospital, states, "I-lowevcr, the

common form of human obesity re- sults solely from eating and is probably due to psychologic imcn- tal and emotional) causcs. In most, patients, obcsity results solely li'0IIlf overeating. Eating is It form of; iseif-indulgence and pleasure avail-' able to all and can be used as com-t pensation when other commonl channels that normally bring satis- faction are blocked."

In support of the theory that ob- esity is most often the result, of ,the eating of more food than is .needed to most energy output isi ithe fact that. obesity does not or:-l

cure in areas in which thcre are

severe shortages.

i The cure, tlterefore. of obesity ideponds on cutting'dowii on the food intake to just meet the en- ergy requirements ,of the indivi- dual. Dr. Brooks states that to get satisfactory results in curing obes- ity, the overweight should indulgci in or acquire other activities ftllti interests. which activities and in-i tcrests more than takc the place of eating.

In younger overwcights, in addi- tion to cutting down on the food intake, more time shqtld be spent in physical work or GCDITISP which replaces usclcss fat tissue with valuable muscle tissue.

, However, in older ovcrwcights whose blood pressure is usually high. exercise should consist only

of short walks daily; the cutting down on the food intake is the- saie method of reducing weight. ii

Restless Fiancee

Boy is in Service: She Misses Social Activity

DEAR MISS DIX: What are my obligations to a fiance who is stationed overseas? I am 18. a senior in high school, engaged to 3 boy 23. I have been engaged five months, and Neil won't be home un- til November. In the meantime. there are many local activitiel in which I would like to partake, but naturally I don't feel free to at- tend. I have always been popular in school. and have been missing the parties. dances and outings that go with Senior year. I'm always alone while the gang is having fun. Of course Nell would want me to stay home-if I went out at all he wouldn't like it.

Wouli:l you advise me to break the engage- ment. now, or wait until Neil comes home to let what the outcome will be? We have no immed- late plans for marriage-in fact, the engagement was rather hasty as I didn't. even know I was get- ting the ring.

A. P. G.

ANSWER: Your problem is being shared by countless girls all over the country who yielded. too hastily. to the importunlties of a lad leaving the country and contracted too-sudden engagements.

NOT REALLY IN LOVE

Some girls wito are engaged to boyroverseas are mature enough to know. even at 18. that they are truly in love,zind that their peculiar situation will necessarily entail much lonclincss a d iiacriflce. Others. like yourself, are already resenting the state of being tied down-and this is by no means a reflection on the girls. Eighteen is the age for fun-the last of life's carefree periods. It should be enjoyed and, if you are convinced that an engagement hampers your social life to the point where you are becoming bitter and iesentfui, the only fair thing is to give back the ring.
