Makes it s the trouble with you, Sam," she said, "too much rich food. You don't see me eating dessert the way you do. If I don't have it every meal you make a fuss. You'd just better remember what the doctor told you!" Sam didn't like to remember that. The doctor hadn't listened to Sam's excuses. He had been blunt and unsympathetic. "It's not your glands, Sam," the doctor said. "And you didn't inherit your fat. All you inherited was the family appetite. You just eat too much. Nothing else wrong with you -- yet. But there soon will be if you don't get rid of that potbelly." There are more excuses for obesity than there are reasons for it. Did you ever hear a fat person say, "I'm fat because I'm a glutton?" Never! "Mr family is fat," he'll tell you, "and I in- herited it. I really have an ap- petite like a bird." The answer to that, of course, is "Sure -- a vulture or an ostrich!" At the age of thirty or forty, the body's energy requirements slow down, and you need fewer calories to maintain your weight. As the average man gets older, however, and his physical activ- ity decreases, his eating habits stay exactly the same -- or even increase. If you are a chairwarmer, 1900 calories a dav will hold your weight. If you get around a bit, 2400 calories a day will allow your weight to remain the same. You can remain lean on 3000 there is little knowledge about how large stones are made. "We study how the storms work so that we will know what to attempt by way of control," Dr. Douglas said.

But the overweight victim of a wrong diet definitely lessens his hold on life. One American out of every four is overweight because of overeat- 'ing -- or eating the wrong foods. Fat puts a strain on the heart. For every ten pounds of exira fat you have, there must be a half mile of blood vessels fo serve it. The heart must work to pump blood into these fatty areas, The late Dr, Edward Spalding gave one of nis patients, Arman H. Best, a good object lesson in the folly of being overweight. At the start of Best's checkup, Dr. LELORD KORDEL calories a day if you're a hard, active worker, THE U.S.--LAND OF FATTIES Anyone who is as much as fif- teen pounds heavier than the op- timum weight for his particular physique is considered over- weight, There are 25,000,000 over- weights in the United States, and 5,000,000 seriously obese, The overweights dig their own graves with their teeth -- work- men and executives alike. Your vulnerability increases with your pounds. Studies of fifty thousand overweights by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company showed that the mortalitv among them was 50 per cent higher, especial ly when they were also suffering from cardiovascular - renal dis- eases, diabetes, and diseases of the liver and gall bladder, Your chances for living go down as your weight goes up. Generally speaking, people who are 15 per cent overweight have a death rate 22 per cent higher than persons of normal weight. Those who are 15 to 24 per cent overweight have a 44. per cent higher death rate. And the ones whose weight is 25 per cent high- er than normal have a death rate 75 per cent higher. If you're overweight at thirty, it isn't good; at forty, it's a def- inite danger signal. Studies by life insurance companies show that the overweight develops di- abetes, heart disease, and other life-shortening conditions earlier, and die younger, than those whose weight is normal. The American Journal of Pub- lic Health says that America's problem is that of an over- developed country. Our obesity is related to our national prosper- lity, just as malnutrition is to He H.M,--that's Heating Measurement the sum of all the factors that affect the heating needs of your home.

Doing violent exercise won't melt off those pounds.

Why do you overeat? The rea- son for it often has little to do with actual hunger. Is your eat: ing a habit? The stuffing habit that you formed when you were a growing 'boy?
