Body Weight Is
Mighty Important
The most frequently mentioned
malnutrition problem among
adults in the United States is ov-
erweight. In simple everyday
language Lucille Shultz associate
extension foods and nutrition spe-
cialist of Texas A. &. M. College,
says many adults just eat too
much. >
How much fuel foods a body
needs depends on its size and ac-
tivity. If the body weight stays
about right for height and build,
it's a good indication that calories
in the diet are in balance with
body needs. Overweight indi-
cates that too much fuel food is
be:ing eaten and the body is stor-
ing it as fat.
Miss Shultz says it is safer to
be plump than skinny up to 35
but after 35 excess fat becomes
a greater health liability than ex-
treme thinness. Ailments such
as high blood pressure and heart
and kidney troubles are more
common among the overweights,
but those who are too thin tend
to tire more easily and may be
easy prey to infections.
For those under 20 years of
age, and overweight, she suggests
that reducing be done only under
a physician's supervision. Young
mothers a/id those with heart or
organic troubles should also ob-
serve this rule of safety.
To those over 35 years of age
who need to reduce, she offers
this advice. Don't lose weight
too rapidly—a pound or :;o per
wee.; is plenty. Cut the calories
but eat other essentials for good
Jiealth; eat three meals per day
but no betwcen-mea! snacks and j
avoid high caloric foods and eat
sparingly of bread and cereal.
Eat plenty of fruits sn l veg-
etables, but she says take them
j-traight—no cream sauce or fat
nor cream or sugrr. Be generous
with the protein-rich foods for
good nutrition r riuires Ins of;
lean meat, milk, e&jj j id lean
A SURE DEATH
FOR CUT ANTS
Cut ants have long been a se-
rious pest in many sections of the
state and they do extensive dam-
age to gardens, field crops, flow-
ers, truck crops, and forestry
seedlings. James A. Deer .assist-
ant extension entomologist of Tex-
sa A. &. M. College, says a new
method of control has been de-
veloped that gives better results;
is easier to apply and is cheap.
The new method, he says, con-
sists of fumigating the cut ant
colony with methyl bromide. The
methyl bromide is packaged in
one pound cans and comes in. a
liquid form. A special can-open-
er type applicator must be used
to get the gas into the colony and
this must be bought as a separate
item. One can, says Deer, is us-
ually sufficient to wipe out the
average colony and he points out
only a few seconds are required
to do the job. He warns against
inhaling the fumes when the ap-
plication is being made.
In addition to killing'all of the
ants in the colony, the gas de-
stroys the fungus on which the
young ants feed, he says, •rid ants
that hatch later are starved.
He adds that treatments should
be made now because at this
time of the year the colonies are
weaker and no young queens or
new ants are being produced. The
queens are usually together and
since they are the only ants that
lay eggs, killing them will help
to exterminate the colony. It is
not recommended for controlling
household and red ants, too expen-
sive, and chlordane is very effec-
tive on these, he says.
Deer says the methyl bromide
and special applicator may not be
available in every county but that
it can be ordered. If you desire
more information on this new
method for ant control, write the
extension entomologist at Texas
A. & M. College.
PARLIAMENTARY RULES
STUDIED BY CLUB
"Parliamentary procedure in
home demonstration club meet-
ings is practicing family manners
in public meetings. It is doing
the kindest things in the kindest
manner," says Mrs. Edgar~Banks
of Iron Mt., in a training meeting
held for leaders at the extension
assembly room.
The training meeting was held
for leaders from all the Home
demonstration clubs Monday,
April 24. There were six leaders
present from four clubs.
Mrs. Banks said that parliamen-
tary rules were followed in meet-
ings for two main reasofts. The
first was for good manners and
the second was to get through
with the business of the meeting
in the quickest and smoothest
manner.
Those present were: Mrs. Carl ;
Rogers, and Mrs. Lonnie Spivey [
of Salem; Mrs. C. S. Stewart and
Mrs. Viola Jones, of E. Jackson-
ville, Mrs. R. F. Henderson of
Central High; Mrs. Edgar Banks
of Iron Mt. and Mrs. F. M. Miller,
county home demonstration agent.
