In the early days of vitamin research investigators observed that anorexia (loss of appetite) was or less characteri.stic in cases of extreme deprivation of vitamin (beri beri, multiple neuritis poly neuritis). Hence physicians care to as.sociating vitamin with appetite and some even jumped to the concIiLsion that vitamin increases appetite.

I There is nothing whatever irreconcilable or inconsistent between these statements if you have a reasonable understanding of the functions of vitamin.s. For reducing I give a diet (four square meal.s a day and bedtime snack) for hypopituitary obesity know the kind where the upper part of the body is normal or even gaunt and skinny, but fat accumulates about the waist, hips, thighs and legs. Individuals reducing on "four square meals a often complain that they take so much food! If that extraordinary it i.s never- thcle.s.s consistent with the normalizing action of vitamin complex ju.st de.scribed. The.se hypopituitary individuals (usually young women) have faulty carbohydrate metabolism, high carbohydrate tolerance and, generally, excessive craving for carbohydrate sprees consuming prodigous quantities of candy, starch, cake, ice cream and whatnot? The diet tends to correct the balance of complex and carbohydrate. Remember, complex is es.sential for utilization of the more carbohy- drate con.sumed the greater the daily requirement for vitamin complex.

Unfortunately, refined carbohydrate.s contain little or none of the complex that grow in or with the food white flour or refined the victim therefore becomes more deeply embedded in her girdle of fat when she indulges her craving for carbohydrate. If instead of indulging in refined carbohydrate delectables or things made of refined white flour and refined sugar, she were restricted to only undenaturized foods such as plain wheat or entire wheat flour (nothing removed) and raw or natural brown unrefined sugar or sweet fruits or honey or whole cereals instead of refined cereals and refined cereal products, the woman with such obesity would get a fairly i well balanced that Kallileeii Norris MISS BERNICE LARSON.

He is nine years old; tlian ehs, an army doctor at one of otir midwostern post. It would be a fine marriage for Angela, for fie could give her a great deal in comfort and position that her earlier life has not had.

But a cloud. The cloud is an old friend named Matt, who boy friend when was in high school. Angela, apparently, took this affair as a sort of dress rehearsal; Matt was al- ways in earnest, and is in earnest today. I "When I was 17 and Matt two year.s older I thought there was nobody like him," his letter says, "We were really crazy about each other. Matt i.s a big powerful i fellow who seemed much older I than he was.

and there was not a girl in school who would not have been thrilled to have him in love i with her. I "He talked then about getting i married, but my mother told me that at our ages no affair could I be and I thought it wa.s all fun, but I wore his pin and we called our.sclves engaged. Went To Matt's Cottage. "Matt and his brother had a little two-room cottage on the college grounds, and w-hen his brother was away I u.sed to go there sometime.s; we would buy provi- at the cook our.selves little dinners and have great fun. I was living part of the time at home in a town seven miles away and part of the time with my aunt in town, so that I could manage a good deal of spare time without being questioned.

"Eventually, on perhaps six or occasions I stayed overnight there; I was never happy about this. I knew it was not and I was always afraid his brother would return unexpectedly and lose his respect for me. "That June Matt left college in his junior year and went to a lumber mill make enough money to get "Our corres pondence languished; Matt was sent to Central America; years went by, I got my degree and enjoyed my work, and last year I met Jack. We have all our plans made for a March wedding. I love Jack romantically, idiotically, but I hope sensibly, too; I can imagine no life more gloriously than that of being my wife.

"But the problem Is that Matt has returned to town, and whether his feeling for me died out or not it is at the blazing point now. He insists that I promised to him, and that we never ended that engagement and that I cannot in honor marry Jack. A Violent Type. "This would be merely silly if it were not that he is an angry and violent type. His brother told me once that their father killed himself and mother in a jealous rage.

I sent for Matt and we had a terrible He threattmed to disclose everything to Jack, who has returned to his post. I could tell him truly that Jack knew of it, and had said that my foolishness as a little girl would not. affect his love and respect for me today. Matt swore that I would never live to be wife, that I had given myself to him, and belonged to him body and soul, and that if he could not have me here he would have me in eternity. "My father is dead and I dare not frighten my mother with this, but I am sick with terror for fear he will keep his word.

My an.swcr to her by airmail days ago, and today shb writes mo gratefully that she is following my advice and that she hear.s that Matt has left town. It i.s a cruel thing for a big brute of a man to terrorize a girl who is happily preparing for her wedding, and my hope is that of generosity was kindled Matt she was generous enough to him years ago! and that he decided to let her alone. I advi.sed her ta move, with her mother, to the aunt's home where her mother was going to move anyway, after the w'edding, and by I all means to notify the police.

The chances are that threats were only threats, only the last despairing gesture of a man who his girl won by a better man. But even so it is just as well not to risk anything. The family consists, beside herself, of two bachelor sons; a much harder group to scare than are two lone women. And more than that the police instantly checked on Matt and temporarily placed a guard inconspicuously in the neighborhood of the apartment house. So the probability is that Angela in a few w'ceks will feel herself safe in her new home with a husband to protect her.

But it does prove, this ca.se and many others of somewhat the same type, that there is danger in school girl affairs when they are carried too far. An innocent sharing of dances and movies and picnics is one thing; the girl remains a child; everything is gay and unimportant, and no man can justly feel himself ill-treated if it presently ends. liinvcivsilv Bond Not Easily Broken. But whe nit has involved intimacies, the exchanging of passionate notes signed adoring husband," crazy little loving the buying of groceries and cooking them in a tiny cabin, and especially when the girl has given the man the supreme proof of her love and trust, then there is a bond that easily broken. In old-fashioned phraseology a girl sacrificed her "honor" when she loved not wisely but too well, and Matt in this case had some reason to feel himself the custodian of that honor.

We hear a good deal, In these days, about the unimportance of a honor. "She harm anyone but herself." the girls argue, "and business but her Well, even if partly true, if a woman is going to pay for it in worry, fear and tears some day, it a very good bargain. And when, as often happens, her whole family pays, or her innocent child pays, the world is still pretty hard in its judgment of her. It rather amuses me, in view of the modern attitude, to see that play after play and novel after novel still harps on that old theme: is she straight or is she a "woman with a past?"
