No Need For Women To Gain Weight With Age, Declares Doc tor-Writer New Work. The woman of ex cess weigHjt'who says she Is entitl ed to more pounds as she grows old er Is contradicted by Dr. Ru‘n Wadsworth of New York. "At one time." writes Dr. Wads worth in “Charm By Choice," “weight was figured on the basis of age as well as of height. That, how ever, was when people grew old gracefully and' early. A normal weight based on height has been worked out from large groups of healthy men and women by insur ance companies, the army and navy and by large educational institu tions." - Dr. Wadsworth admits a universal tendency to grow fat after 30. but she attributes this increase m avoirdupois to appetite. Proper weight can be figured from height. Dr. Wadsworth points out. This is her formula: Allow 100 pounds for live feet of height. For every inch over five feet add six pounds. For every inch under five feat subtract six pounds. Glandular disease affects height aud weight in several ways, Dr. Wadsworth reports. "First.” she says, "there is the very fat person, short or tall, who eats very little in proportion to her size. She is suffering from an ex cess m the secretion of the pituitary •gland, or a deficiency in that ot the thyroid. Second, there is the very tall person, whose weight never catches up with her height, whose thymus gland secreted too long. 'Third, there Is the person of average height, much under weight, with an enormous capacity tor food. She has an excess of thyroid secretion "The abnormally obese person cats little and sleeps much. The ab normally thin person eats muehand sleeps little; us nervous. If your case does not lit these facts, do not complain." The only permissible method of dieting to lose weight, she writes, "is to Starve the excess tissues, which *s always fat. and at the same time feed the normal and necessary weight of muscle, bone, blood and brain " "In order to do this." for. Wads worth adds, "we leave the normal amount of tissue builder in Che diet nnd add just enough calories to feed 100 pounds. We are careful to leave our fundamental mixed diet princi ple in operation and we lean rather heavily on vitamines and bulky foods to counteract hunger and the weakness which often follows the partial starvation." These Did Not Shf Asheville Citizen When Andrew Jackson won f\c battle of New Orleans the lir.su line Nuns, whose lives and prop erty he saved, invited him to their convent for a special relig ious service This service, in fact, was held at the famous old St. Louis Cathedral, with the proud and haughty commander and his staff In full panoply pres ent and praying, historians tell ,us Every year now for 112 years ,on the anniversary cf the battle of New Orleans the Ursuline Nuns in New Orleans hold a special service for Old Hickory in a Catholic church. It is an event. When Jefferson Davis was a small boy his father sent him to Bards tov.n Kentucky, from Mississippi to be educ ated by a Catholic order. He there formed ties that lasted throughout his long life. When he tried to establish the Confederacy the Pc pc- of Rome was the only tem poral ruler that officially recognized the Confederacy. The letters they exchanged are rarely beautiful. W'hen Stonewall Jackson was in Mexico winning fame as an artillery officer he studied the doctrines of the Roman Catholic church under the Archbishop of Mexico. From whom he learned Spanish but whose religion he did not adopt. All his life he cherished profoundest re spect for the Archbishop, and his intimate letters to his wife and his fond talk with her were interlarded with Spanish love phrases the old priest taught him. Andrew Johnson was a member of no church and he died without the pale ol' any communion. While president he worshipped at a Roman Cat hr lie church in Washington and the parish priest, and Irishman, was ins close friend. These were four pretty good Southern Democrats who did not shy when they met one of Gov. Smith's religious faith approach ing them. If it lives up to the names which head it, the Hoover campaign or ganization ought to do Good Work. —Tampa Tribune.

Coming Wednesday DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS m one of his big ones. / Webb Theatre Rivers and Railroads —and Life THE division superintendent of a certain railroad insisted, finite properly, upon written reports. He also insisted that the reports be clear and concise. A new section foreman had just been appointed, and was being instructed as to the rules of the di vision. “Make all of your reports in writing. Make them short and snappy. The last man that held this place would write pages where a few words would do.” A short time after that, a flood came. It washed away several miles of track within the section of the new foreman. This is the report that was sent in: “Deer Sur: Wher the ralerode wus the river is. Truly, J. H. D.” Maybe it is our fault, any maybe not—but every story seems to lead to life as it is, or life as we think it should be. Anyway the little story above appeals to us as significant. As firmly as we believe anything, we believe that the man who is now earning something—re gardless of the amount—and does not regularly save a portion of it, will some day suddenly awake to find that “the river is where the railroad was.” Not pleasant to think about, but more pleasant as an avoidable prospect, than a fact in retrospect.
