Ay Joe Marsh For The Ladies: A Diet That Really Works We went out visiting the other night and the ladies were talking away about weight-reducing diets. One of them had a special "15-day Hollywood diet" guaranteed to slim her down fifteen pounds' worth. An other was living on bananas and skim milk! I might have known ine missus would get the bug, too, and sure enough the other day she asks me, "Joe, what kind of a diet do you think I ought to go on?" "Mother," I says, "the only diet I wonld ever recommend to anyone is simply moderation. I wouldn't Copyright, trust any of those get-thin-quick diets. Simply cut down on desserts, bread, butter, sweets and fats—but when you do, even do your cutting down moderately." From where I sit, moderation is the watchword. Moderation with food, with smoking or with the enjoyment of a friendly glass of temperate beer or ale. Actually, moderation adds to the enjoyment of just about anything. 794 ', United States Brewers Foundation Tension Seen Rising Behind Iron Curtain Chicago, July 19.—President Truman declared today that "tensions and conflicts'' appear to be mounting behind the iron curtain. He added that he Is optimistic that the world may yet be organ ized for peace without war. Communist tyranny, he told cheering thousands of Shrlners and their guests in mammoth Soldier Field, will ultimately de stroy itself or have to "abandon its attempt to force other nations into its pattern." The President, speaking at a great outdoor celebration of the diamond Jubilee session of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, said the United States will continue its "great crusade for peace." The red fezzes of the nobles and their colorful red, yellow, purple, and green uniforms pro vided a vivid setting for Tru man's foreign policy speech. Roger Shanahan, chief of the Chicago park police, estimated 70,000 persons were there to hear the President's address. Tasks Ahead In working towards its goal of peace, the President said, "the United States should: 1—Halt the economic reces sion in this country, and work ror a stronger economy. 2—Avoid the "foolish course" of slashing foreign aid funds. He said this course would be disastrous because it would pro duce "stagnation and despair" ibroad which could only benefit the Communists. The President said that witn in its inner circle, the Soviet orbit "manifests the fatal weak ness of all dictatorships." "This system of world organ ization is no better than the old tyrannies that have failed. It is incapable of satisfying the needs and desires of men for a better life. "In its inner structure, it manifests the fatal weaknesses of all dictatorships. Within the circle of its control today, ten sions and conflicts appear to be increasing. "It may have temporary tri umphs, but in the long run it must either destroy itself, or abandon its attempt to force dlh er nations into its pattern." "Within the circle of its con trol today, tensions and conflicts appear to be increasing." He con tinued: "It may have temporary triumphs, but in the long run it must either destroy itself, or abandon its attempt to force oth er nations into its pattern." Tired of Dictatorships "The world is tired of politi cal fanaticism", he also said. "It is weary of the lies, propaganda, and hysteria created by dictator ships. It is disgusted by the prac tice of torture and political as sassination. It i$ sick of the kind of political allegiance which is inspired solely by fear." Touching at another point on what he called the weaknesses of the totalitarian structuie, Truman told the crowd: "Between totalitarian states, disagreements can suddenly be come open conflicts and allies can change into enemies over night.'' o Milk cows on North Carolina farms produced an estimated 150 million pounds of milk dur ing May.
