But be sure to include from 400 to 600 calories in protein foods, for the body does not have protein stored away, though it has plenty of fat and sugar. To help kill your appetite, limit yourself to one full glass (8 or.) of liquid the first day, unless you are doing hard physical work where you sweat a great deal. On the 'second day, you may allot yourself 2 glasses of total fluids, which means soups, milk fruit juices, water, caffeine beverages, etc. The third day, move up to 3 glasses, and stay on that 3 glass per day quota through the 10th day. This low fluid input will kill your appetite, though you may feel somewhat thirsty.

But at least your stomach will not bother you much so you can stay on your 800 calories. And in 10 days, you should be down 10 pounds. Men may even be down 12 lbs. Take an aspirin tablet the first day, if your dieting produces a headache. And you can also take a vitamin tablet, if you wish.

Caffeine stimulates gastric juice, and hence may promote hunger when you should be killing your appetite, so go low on coffee, tea, or cola beverages. A full cup of cottage cheese counts only 200 yet offers the same protein value as lean beefsteak. Place a teaspoonful of jelly on it, and it makes a dandy meal, as I have found by experience, for I have used this 10-day diet plan myself. For further caloric values and dieting strategy, send for my bulletin "How to Lose 10 Lbs. in 10 Days," enclosing a stamped return envelope, plus 20 cents (non-profit).

"Dr. Crane, I live in Muncie, Indiana," she informed me after my Bible class one Sunday. "And we have had a dieting campaign in our state whereby we have tried to take off 10,000,000 pounds from 500,000 fatties. "Its purpose has been to reduce high blood pressure and prevent heart attacks. "But I have failed to go on a diet yet, although I am much too heavy.

My weight is now 158. Yet it was only 118 when I married! "You once said a slender wife is more seductive to her husband. Well, my husband and I are drifting into a platonic role and I'd like to revive the sweetheart relationship again. "So how can I get back into a size 12 frock again?" Start dieting today not tomorrow! Most dieters always say, "I'll begin tomorrow." But tomorrow never comes. Try to get several friends or members of your family to join you on your dieting program.

For you can help "sell" each other. This is one of ihe bits of strategy in the Alcoholics Anonymous plan, too. Shrink your stomach fast. If it now demands one quart of contents before it registers "full." it will continue to gnaw and make you uncomfortable unless you deliberately teach it the new habit of registering "full' on a smaller volume. A quick way to neutralize your hunger pangs the first few days and to show a bigger weight loss, is to go low on fluid input.

So set yourself a 10-day goal. You can shed 10 lbs. of ugly weight in that brief time by following this program. Limit your food input to 800 calories per day "How will we know which one we want to buy unless look through all of them?"

Oswald Jacoby On Bridge once in a while, as today, I will let his opponents take over, West's two heart bid over South'j one heart is the way a player shows a tremendous hand against an adverse opening bid. When East was able to come in with three spades, West had no problem about going to six. East had no trouble with the play either. South cashed a heart and shifted to the queen of diamonds.

East won in dummy; drew trumps and discarded all his losing diamonds on the long club suit, By OSWALD JACOBY Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. When I first started reading bridge articles the four players were designated as and Z. was obviously both a lucky and a fine player. He sat at the bottom of the page and always was declarer. His partner shared in his profits, but was always dummy while poor A and sat to the left and right and struggled valiantly against Z's good cards and tremendous play.

Sometime or other their places were taken by North, South, East and West. South took Z's seat and inherited his good cards and in answer to those readers who want to see East and West play the hand, I just can't go against tradition.

If there is more action to be had in arguing that he is too young, then I battle up and down that he is. If the Senator's detractors outnumber his supporters, I jump in on the weaker side.

Actually, I may never decide whether Kennedy is too young. Or too old, for that matter. It could be that he is past his prime. Consider Shirley Temple. She was past her prime and ready for retirement, her great years behind her, when she was a fourth of Kenndy's age.

Look at Mozart. He was a heckuva piano player at seven or eight. Compared with them, or with Einstein, who did his finest work at around 27, Kennedy is downright backward, or in his dotage. Certainly there is something to the argument that men grow in wisdom and ability as they grow older. You can't count old men out when it comes to brains and judgment.

History is alive with examples of senior citizens who reached their peak after an average birthday cake wouldn't hold all their candles. Herman Bascom was one. As bright and capable as he was in his forties, Bascom did not come into full flower until he was shoving ninety. It was then, when surrounded by all sorts of great-great-great-grandsons and granddaughters, that Bascom thought of ataching a canvas bag to the back of a lawnmower to catch the clippings. His name is spoken with reverence wherever men have to mow lawns.

Then there was Curtis Hoffcrnan. As every student knows, Hoffcrnan was on the shady side of ninety when he completed his monumental 10-volume work, "The Habits, Haunts and Hopes of the Iguri Indians of the Amazon." One could go on forever provided he thought Kennedy was too young citing examples of men who were not at their best until long, long after all their premiums were paid up. Christopher Blinkle was celebrating his 79th birthday when the idea for the automobile rumble seat came to him. Claude Bascom (no kin to Herman) was close to 102 years of age when he made the prototype of the modern meat grinder. There had been earlier grinders, but not one that would stay fast to a tabic when clamped on.

Tod Rodin couldn't have been a day under 85 when he patented the buttonhook, and the inventor of the bottle cork, whose name escapes me for a moment, was way up yonder when inspiration hit him. As was the man' his name escapes me, too who first thought up running Four Big Hits all horror pictures at a drive-in theatre. This doesn't mean that these geniuses necessarily would have made good presidents. At the same time, the names most frequently quoted by Senator Kennedy's backers to show that youth is great and good Napoleon and Keats don't mean much, either. Writing poetry is a touch different from writing legislation and running a country, and Napoleon lacked the democratic touch necessary to the White House 1 Alt.
