WHAT TO EAT and WHY 4/ou±ion QouJihi, U/atni ok the Dangers of Overweight Nationally Known Food Authority Describes the Right and Wrong Methods of Reducing By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS 6 East 39th Street, New York City. T HERE was a time when overweight was indulgently tol erated and even respected. It was believed that width and wisdom went together and that fat people had the best expositions. Surplus poundage was regarded as an indica tion of wealth for it implied that one had plenty to eat and did not have to work. ^ ' The modern point of view, backed by medical science, is that overweight destroys beauty, multiplies the chances of disease and subtracts years from your life. Most of the degenerative dis eases of middle life occur more frequently in those who are overweight than in those whose weight is normal. The entire body functions at a dis advantage for the excess fat is pres ent inside as well as outside of the body. Just as the abdomen, hips and arms are burdened with excess fat, so are the internal organs stifled with needless tissue. Overweight Burdens the Heart * Fatty deposits increase the work of the heart, because each extra pound demands the pumping of additional blood. It has been esti mated that every pound of fat re quires six-tenths of a mile of blood vessels to nourish it! Thus, the in dividual who is 20 pounds over weight is carrying around 12 miles of excess blood vessels. Natural ly, the heart must work faster and harder to pump blood through these extra miles, and it is not surprising that it is frequently overstrained. Heart disease and high blood pressure are often associated with excess fat. So are diabetes and kidney disease. And when fat creeps around the abdominal mus cles, it may interfere with normal elimination. —★— Life May Be Shortened Furthermore, life insurance companies estimate that the more overweight the body becomes, the slighter the chances for longevity. All the data that have been as sembled indicate that as age and weight increase, the death rate rapidly accelerates. Gross over weight may shorten life by as much as ten years. —★— What Should You Weigh? It is generally held that under the age of thirty, it is advisable to weigh from five to ten pounds more than the average for one’s height and age. But after thirty, a weight of ten to twenty pounds below the average is desirable. In fad, leading authorities now agree that it is an excellent plan to endeavor after thirty to main tain the normal weight for one’s height aft age thirty. Reducing Methods to Avoid If you have allowed yourself to become overweight, you should and can reduce. But you must go about it in a scientific manner. Do not put your faith in worth less or dangerous methods that either fail to reduce or may cause yon to lose your health faster than you lose weight. Never take any sort of drugs for the purpose of reducing, except under the advice of yonr physi cian. Many drugs which are said to speed up bodily activities and burn up fat may injure the heart, produce cataracts of the eyes, and do other serious damage. Other drugs may have a harmful effect on the kidneys. The various fad reducing diets which women pass about among themselves are likewise danger ous, because they are usually un balanced. They may lead to a serious type of acidosis; to nerv ous disorders, faulty elimination, or deficiency diseases. Less dangerous, but wholly .in effective, are a variety of salts, soaps, pills and devices said to make fat vanish as if by magic. It is also a fallacy to believe that rubbing, massaging or pum- meling will effectively take off weight. —★— Rational Weight Control The one scientific method of maintaining normal weight or get ting rid of a surplus is to recog nize the fundamental fact that all body fat originates as surplus fuel. Thus weight control is chiefly a matter of regulating the diet so that the food intake does not ex ceed the energy expenditure. —★— Counting Calories The person who has become markedly overweight as a result of overeating should put himself in the hands of a physician, but the maintenance of normal weight depends largely upon learning to count calories. Many people are puzzled by the word “calorie,” which is a term of measurement used to measure both the fuel value of foods and the body’s en ergy needs. For example, a tablespoon of sugar furnishes 50 calories; a ta blespoon of butter, 100 calories; one-fourth of a large head of let tuce only 12 calories. The energy requirement for a normal adult man engaged in a sedentary occupation is from 2,200 to 2,800 calories daily; work done standing or walking requires up to 3,000 calories daily. A woman requires from 2,000 to 2,500 cal ories daily, depending upon her activities. By becoming familiar with the caloric value of foods, it is possi ble to construct a well-balanced diet, and at the same time to cut down on fuel values so that you consume less energy foods each day than the body requires. This will force the body to burn some of its own fat for fuel and result in a safe, scientific gradual weight reduction. I shall gladly send readers of this column a chart showing the caloric value of all the commonly used foods. You will find that by eating 500 calories less each day than the body expends, you can reduce your weight a pound a week. And with the chart before you, you can cut out 500 calories without even missing them. —★— Sample Reducing Menus In planning a reducing pro gram, it is essential to include in each day’s diet adequate amounts of the protective foods. To help you plan a balanced diet, a week’s sample menus have been included in my Reducing Bulletin. By keeping your weight down, you may have at least ten years longer In which to enjoy life. In becoming master of your fat, you will truly become master of your fate. © WNU—C. Houston Goudiss—1938—18 IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for June 19 THE SUFFERING SERVANT LESSON TEXT—Mark 15:22-39. GOLDEN TEXT—For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Mark 10:45. PRIMARY TOPIC—God's Wonderful Love. JUNIOR TOPIC—On Calvary. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Self-Sacrifice for Others. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Love’s Supreme Sacrifice. “A Christianity without a dying Christ is a dying Christianity. His tory shows us that the expansive ness and elevating power of the Gospel depend upon the promi nence given to the sacrifice of the Cross. An old fable says that the only thing that melts adamant is the blood of a lamb. The Gospel reveals the precious blood of Jesus Christ, his death for us as a ran som, as the one power that subdues hostility and binds hearts to Him” (Alexander Maclaren). We consider today that darkest of all days in the history of the world—when wicked men with cruel hearts and hands crucified the lov ing Son of God. But, thanks be to God, it was also the day when bright hope shone forth for sinful human ity, for in His death Christ bore our sins upon the tree, the veil was rent, the old sacrifices were set aside, and the “new and living way” was opened into the “holiest by the blood of Jesus” (Heb. 10:20). I. Crucified—That We Might Live (vv. 22-28). The details of and circumstances surrounding the crucifixion are of deep interest to every Christian. We stand with Luther and weep as we see Christ’s unspeakable agony, not only of body but of spirit, and we cry as did Luther, “For me, for me!” How can any believer contemplate the cross and withhold self; sub stance, or service from Christ? Equally earnest and heart-search ing is the message of the cross to the unbeliever. He knows he is a sinner (Rom. 3:23), he knows that “the wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23), and he knows that “neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Here at the cross he meets that one “who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed (I Pet. 2: 24). There were two malefactors who were crucified with Him, and one railed at Him. The other said, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom”; and Jesus said to him, “Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:39-43). Unbeliever, who reads these lines, will you not just now take the eternal life which Jesus died to make possible for you? II. Forsaken—That We Might Be Accepted (w. 29-36). The railing, head wagging, and other abuse that men heaped upon Jesus as He hung on the cross, must have been a grevious thing for His tender loving heart to bear. But it was as nothing compared with that hour when, covered with all the sin and curse of the world, He who knew no sin “was made sin for us” (II Cor. 5:21), and God turned away from Him. We cannot fathom the full mean ing of that hour, we dare not at tempt to explain it, we can only accept it and thank God that be cause He did become sin for us we may be “made the righteousness of God in him” (II Cor. 5:21). HI. A Veil Rent—That We Might Enter (vv. 37-39). The death of Jesus was not the pitiful weakening of a human mar tyr. Here was the Son of God, cry ing with a loud voice (v. 37), giving up His spirit to the Father (Luke 27:46), declaring that the work of redemption was “finished.” As a visible indication of that part —and as a declaration that the old dispensation of law had given place to the dispensation of grace, God tore the temple veil in twain. Only He could have done it. No man could have torn this sixty-foot long, twenty-foot wida, and inch-thick curtain from top to bottom. It had hung in the temple to keep all but the High Priest out of the Holy of Holies, and he entered with fear and trembling but once a year as the representative of the people. Now all this is changed. We have now, “brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil.” Therefore, let us draw near with a true heart and full as surance of faith” (Heb. 10:19-22). Homely Simile He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.—Psalms 91:4. Lofty Companionship Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, and let us make three tabernacles.—Luke 9:33. Power of Faith I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.—Phil. 4:13. Prize Winning Recipes To Be Announced Soon Woven Fillet for Bags and Purses.

It isn’t always enough to do “lots of can ning.” You may have 500 full jars in your cellar at the end of the sea son, but if 100 of these leak be cause of cheap or old rubber rings, you are only getting an 80 per cent return on your labor. One of the greatest mistakes the housewife canner can make, I have found, is to yield to the mis taken clerk who substitutes “un known brands” for advertised brands produced by reputable manufacturers. Substitution may be all right at times, when An item can be used up in a short time. But when it comes to jar rings—play safe—buy a recognized brand. There is a lot of difference in jar rings. The rubber used in them is compounded, or mixed, in much the same way that the batter for a cake is mixed, and, like cake batter, unless the recipe is tested and the ingredients of the best, the results will be dis appointing. Inferior jar rings will “check” or crack and allow air to seep into the jars. C. Houston Goudiss, who writes our “WHAT TO EAT AND WHY” series, reports that the Cake Rec ipe Contest which he recently con ducted through the columns of this newspaper was a gratifying suc cess. A tremendous number of reci pes were submitted and the home economists on the staff of his Ex perimental Kitchen Laboratory in New York city have been busy for days testing and tasting almost every imaginable kind of cake. They report that our town has some very fine cake bakers! They regret that it was impossi ble to acknowledge individual en tries, but they thank every home maker who entered the contest, and have asked us to say that each recipe will be given the most careful consideration. Because of the volume of reci pes submitted, they will require a little while longer to complete their tests and to arrive at their decision as to the winners. Prize winners will be reported in these columns in the near fu ture, and as announced at the be ginning of the contest, prize win ning recipes, together with those receiving honorable mention from the judges, will be printed in a booklet to be distributed nation ally.
