IN BRIEF
HOUSTON -Robert Mitch-11. 25
year old Cross Timber Addition
resident, was indicted by the Har-
ris County Grand Jury on 12 charg-
es of chicken theft. Bond was set
at $300 in each case. Upon failure
to make the bonds totaling $3,600
he was held in jail to await trial.
The alleged thefts occurred on the
Hardy Street road in the northern
section of the county just outside
city limits.
Most beauty columns, 1 And, are
more concerned with telling the
over-weight how to reduce than
they are in solving the problem of
her too slender sister. And in most
cases it is much more difficult for
the chronically under-weight girl to
gain than it la for the neavy girl to
reduce. Losing weight, unless there
is something organically wrong, is
'purely a matter of exercise, diet,
and that all important ingredient-
will power. Gaining weight Is more
complicated.
The girl who is underweight
should first of all get plenty of rest.
While eight hours out of twenty-
four is ample sleep for the avernge,
she should try to get ten, and add to
that an afternoon nap if possible.
It is not absolutely necessary that
she sleep in the afternoon as long
as she lies down and rests her mind
and body. Sleep la a great builder
of health and beauty. Lack of it
makea na listless, dull and haggard,
and, what is more important, under-
mines health.
The too-thin girl generally has a
very slight appetite. It la impossi-
ble for her to concentrate all the
calories she needs into three regu-
lar meals. She should acopt the
habit of between meal snacks, a
glass of milk and some cookies at
mid-morning, orange juice, a piece
of cake or a sandwich during the
afternoon, and again some slight re-
freshment at beditime. If she has
difficulty getting to sleep, warm
milk or soma of the food drinks will
be beneficial. Nor should she neg-
leer her regular meals. She should
drink Cl ergs suupsi rather than clear
ones, ent ice cream instead of sher-
bets and tees, put plenty of butter ,
on her bread, and in general in-
dulge in all the calory-rich dellen-
cies which the heavier girl must,
ruefully avoid. It shouldn’t bedit- '
ficulr ckcentthas some quirk of
nature, fattening foods never seem
to appeal to the thin girl and silr- ^
ming diets are as straw and water to
the girl who hopes to reduce.Un-
believable- an it may seem to the
woman of too ample proportions,
patting “on weight for the slender
sometimes requires more will power I
than losing it. 6x6%
The girl who wants to gain ■
should not make the mistake of
avoiding exercise altogether. True,
she should,not indulge in strenuous
sports but a brisk walk every day
will improve her appetite and be a
tremendous aid to sleep. Fresh air
is a stimulant to the Jaded appetite.
It quiets the nerves and nerves are
the sworn enemy of sleep.
Try to follow these simple rules’
faithfully U you are underweight.
If, after giving them a fair trial, you
are still too thin, see your doctor.
He can probably prescribe some
special tonic that will solve your
problems.
What are your beauty: problems?

she will be glad to answer them.
