KEEP IN TRIM Normalizing Your Weight Increases Life By IDA JEAN KAIN Here are two morale-boosting promises: Normalizing your weight will increase your chances of living longer; and restoring tone to the muscles that support the abdomina! or- gans will hel» you to enjoy life more. Live tone in these all- important muscles quickens en- ergy and brings an increased sense of well-being. With considerable overweight, there is a substantial deposit of: fat interlarding the muscles time. It's the holding that does the toning and holding time may be gradually increased. Here's another midriff toner.

Since fat does not afford as good support as muscle tone, the organs crowd against each other and this interferes. with -- and norma! function- sg. When yoo start to lose fat- much is lost from this middle measurement. That, certainly, is what you want to accomplish. But as the fat is lost, it is im- perative that the muscles in this area be restored to tone in order to furnish the needed support. If the fat is removed without bracing the muscles, a dragging, discouraging sort of depression may follow. Strenuous exercise is inadvis- able for you until part of the burden of fat has been removed, but simple conditioners, as prevents strain and encourages the organs to resume their nor- mal position and the stint should be a daily one. At first glance, the following exercise may seem unsetting but, actually, it is easy and highly effective.

Only three of Switerland's 25 cantons have extended the fran- chise to women and since the question of suffrage remains an issue in his country, Walter Kilchernmann is understand- ably diplomatic in discussing it "Any woman who pays taxes . . « Should be able to vote, and this applies particularly to sin- gle women." He adds, however, there's an- other side to the question. "Men try to be the protect- ors, but if women want to have the, same rights as men, they don't need the protection any mere, atid this could be the rea- son why men are less polite than they used to be." He goes on to suggest that many women think politics is men's business and that a mar- ried woman's place is in the home looking after the family. But he concedes that in Swit- erland more women will in time win the right to vote and that it's Probably a good thing, all considered. Still, he raises one final question: : "If women have the same rights, should they not have the same ' responsibilities--such as military service?" ton Lee and Mr, and Mrs, James Hardie, great-grandpar- ents.
