"Start the New Year right, a 17J
control your weight," says Mrs.
rerguaoa "If you need to gain
or to loae, do. but gain or lose
in the safe, sound way that con
tributes to good health."
The way to do this, explains Mrs.

variety of foods which will supply
the nutrients your body needs, and
at the same time watch the cal
ories. Only 100 calories a day
more than a person needs can
lead to a gala of 10 pounds a year,
while too few calories can keep
an underweight person from gain
ing desired weight. Mrs. Ferguson
recommends that you consult your
doctor to help determine your
needs.
