In many desire to look better. attain the weight at which one4 feels better, for few people] realize that to weigh neither | too much nor too little is one | of the best possible aids to] secret of weight control for normal individuals lies in the kind and amount of food con- sumed, The science of nutrition teaches us that all body fat originates as surplus fuel . : | that is, food which | has been consumed over and above the immediate require- ments of the body machine, It there- fore follows that in general the prob- lem of gaining or losing weight is concerned with an increase or reduc- tion in the total fuel value of the diet, Shortage or Surplus of Fuel Those who find it difficult, after 30, to avoid taking on excess pounds must learn to reduce the total fuel intake.

For the overweight person who con- sistently culs down the fuel value of the diet, should, under normal | circumstances, be able to reduce gradually, comfortably and effec- tively. But the individual who is underweight often has a small ap- | petite and therefore has little de- | sire to eat the increased quanti- ties of food that are required in order to gain. Influence of Body Build | Nutritionists have observed that many people who find it difficult of body build.

At the same time, these of their food for energy, so it is not surprising that they fail to store body fat, unless the diet is especially planned to meet their needs. Concentrated Foods Desirable The well balanced diet, with its full quota of minerals and vita- mins is basic to good health for all. 3ut in order to produce a gain in weight, the diet of indi- viduals belonging to the slender type should be composed of easily digested foods, which can be uti- lized by the body with a minimum of effort; and it should include generous amounts of concentrated and highly nourishing foods.

I was so attracted by it that I had to find a way to use it. The result is a chair covered in plain blue glazed chintz with green seam bindings and the blue, green and red braid around the cushion and the bottom ruffle. It is very stunning and everyone admires it. My problem now is keeping my slipcovers firmly anchored in place. How should this be done?” Here is a sketch of the chair that was inspired by a shopping tour. I have also sketched a method that is often used by pro- fessionals for anchoring slip covers.
