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 Shown above are. from left to Frtzzei of New Haven: Miss Verna Proud of Ifainpshire. 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 We Have Them iiiii i iWho said we have no mineral: wealth lFor which our sons may toil? iThat. drilling operations proved We are devoid of oil?

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. Martel Nluen 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. Of course the whole basis of your unrest lien in the fact that you are not, and undoubtedly never have been, in love with Neil. You were hastily persuaded into the engagement without having the emotional equipment to carry it through. While it is perfectly true that news of the type you must convey to your fiance is upsett.ing7to any the least-its consequences will not be as tragic as you fear. He must realize that you didn't have time to consider the engagement in as serious 1: light as you should have. he certainly must know that you are not too much in lnvl with him. and he is young enough to recover quite rapidly. Perhaps he may even feel the same as you do. When he comes back, you will have had a taste of freedom. and will be in a better position to evaluate your muturil relationship and give really serious thought to the future. It's an unwise move for any girl or boy in high school to become engaged. Each is a major experience in itself. and each should have its own place in life. DEAR MISS DIX: I'm a woman of 36, and have fallen madly in love with it married man in our office. I do everything I can to he nerir him, to get him to notice me, and occasionally have managed to make him kiss me. I am trying to get. his wife jealous, because I feel I should be in her place. Am I lowering myself by acting this way? My heart tells me to go after him, but my friends tell me I'm foolish. I feel that I'm entitled to what I can get out of life. JANIE ANSWER: You are lowering yourself exactly to the level of ti snake. How much lower can you get? You surely would be indignant if someone in the office stole your purse, or a piece of jewelry, yet you are no better than the commonest, meanest thief when you go In such extreme: to steal a man away from his wife and family.
