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

Our foods are divided into three
elasses, carbohydtales, fats and pm
reins. Ali are essential for normal
mlhttlion, but as used fo''bedy et,

Knitting Tips
A GUIDE FOR THE BEGINNER
Always buy sufficient wool to fin-
ish your garment, -Sometimes
shades vary a little. Don't try too
difficult a pattern if you are a be-
ginner—you'll only get dishearten-
ed!
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. Good coloring,
shape and careful knitting are tell-
ing points in knitted design.
Lf you are not au even knitter
choose a boucle yarn, Stitches do
not show up so much.
join wool at the end of a row, nct
le the middle. Keep your seams
neat by sewing from one Knitted
stitch to the stitch exactly opposite.
Seams should be well pressed; but
remember that pressing spoils a
raised pattern,
lfany knitter sweaters and suits
are finished with Raps instead of
real packets; this gives a prat
finish. Never acid bitty trimmings

Washing Woollies
By Helen M. 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.
Nowadays our woollies are knitted •
in so many different designs sed

ever so carefully—others are knitted
diagonally, vertically, and circularly I
—all needing the greatest care and
attention. 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. Pull into shape and pin down
securely all over—then tack to-
gether first going round the outline
and then here and there wherever
it seems a little thick or bulky as—

line and sures.

Make a Christmas Picture Book 'itili`�
Let pictures tell the story. 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
