A HEALTH SER\ ICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES OBESITY Obesity is a polite way of ettling "too -fat” or "too stout." Some per - eons have a hereditary tendency to stoutness and in some families a single member may become unusual- ly stout even from childhood, But stoutness is more often the result of excessive eating and not enough exercise. It is a well recognized Met that people who have passed middle life have a tendency to be- come stout, despite the fact that they eat moderately and play plen- ty of golf, The tact remains that they are consuming carbohydrates beyond their daily needs and the excess amount is converted into fat and stored in the tissues. Obesity is undesirable on several counts', hr the first place it tends to slow one tip and make all exer- cise bui'dent,•onte. Fat people suffer more than thin people when a fever hits them and they are poorer risks when they have to take a general anaesthetic. 'Why is this? Tet ue explain. Our foods are divided into three elasses, carbohydtales, fats and pm reins. Ali are essential for normal mlhttlion, but as used fo''bedy et, ergy they are, converted into sugar (or carbohydrates').

Even knitting gives a profes- sional look to children's or women's woolies, blirm wools and a solid pattern should be chosen for snits and dresses, so that you do not get a sagging skirt.

Hill It always seems to me such a nor - tibia waste of valuable time to allow our woollies, which have taken so many hours to knit, to be ruined during their first wash, It has happened to most of us, I know, at some time or other, Pcr- ha.ps we have been in a hurry or let ourselves become a Iittle careless over the washing wheu, presto, something has gone wrong, and that lovely :pullover or sweater over whose making *e have been se proud and delighted, hue lost its first fresh beauty and shape, and ne matter what we do or try o do, it will never look the same OA lin, So It surely pays to spend a certain amount of trouble and ca"n over their washing.

And the first thing we have to do wheu washing thein, is, if , 1 we think there is slightest chance of their losing shape or stretch- ing in any way, to take a piece of butter muslin or light weight un-, d bleached cotton, that has already been washed more than once and lay the garment, turned inside out, on it.

Bedtime on Christmas Eve Is as Impor- tant to the story as discoveries at the tree next morning. Amateur flood or flash lamps and supersensitive film put the pictures on a snapshot basis. PLANNING our Christmas pictures 1 is very much like planning our Christmas shopping, Far in advance we resolve to do it early. Day after day we resolve to do it early. And then all of a sudden the time is tip, we can't do it eurly—and we don't do It well. So, here's sound advice. Do It nowt Get yourself pencil and paper and work out a Christmas scenario, a series of pictures that will tell the whole Christmas etory and give material for the pictorial Christmas book you have always wanted to make. Then, best thing tomorrow, lay to a proper supply of supersensitive film and amateur flood or flash bulbs, so they will be ready to hand when Christmas comes, Don't skimp in planning your plc - tures series. Remember, its an occa- slon that comes only once in a year and even if the ebildreu are still Ming, they are growing up rapidly as far as Christmas Is concerned. You will want at least one picture —perhaps several—of decorating the Christmas tree. If you use a self -timer, the Miele fancily can appear In ono picture, Another "trust" will deal with hanging up the Christmas stockings, Other pic- tures can be related to these—for example, the children peeping up the chimney to maks surd it is big enough for Santa's entrance. A flood bnib, tucked away in'a corner of the fireplace, will give a proper firelight effect. Then, there ehould be a pajama picture with the parents admonish- ing the children to go to bed and be good and stay there. There should be a picture of the children asleep —they seldom are on Christmas live but they can at least close their eyes and pretend. Next morning, a picture of them peeping down she stairway. Joyous snaps as the new toys aro discov- ered. A snap of father trying to put Junior's new tnain together—or of Junior struggling far a chance to play with it himself. Snaps of the Christmas dinner, the afternoon nap, the new sled getting a tryout ... There is material here for a whole album, a book for the years. Watch your exposures, for these are pictures you do not want to miss. Inexpensive reflectors help Increase and ooutrol the light.
