Generally, the younger the
crop at the tunc of harvest, the

ABOUT YOUR
Health
That plump, healthy, happy
yiiimgstcr may grow up to Ik?
a fat, unhealthy, unhappy old-
er child, and later into a fat
adult who is prey to all of the
physical ailments that are a
part of obesity.
Faulty eating habits started
.n early childhood often are
the cause iff overweight adults
in later life. 1 says Today's
Health, the magazine of the
American Medical Association
All too many mothers, with
he best of intentions, nag
their small fry into eating
more than tiiey want to eat
The healthy, fat baby who re-
mams chubby as he grows in-
to pre-school and first glade
years Ixvomrs less attractive
as an ir.dn idual. And' the
habit of eating more calories
than necessary is likely to re-
main the rest of his life.
The parent is not the one to
decide whether the child
should lose weight, how he
can serve for drinks
—Cut out ru n salad dress-
ings: in-stead use vinegar and
lemon juice
Trim fat from meat, take it

your
counsel, here are some- tips to
help your youngster lose
weight?-—
— Weigh once a week and
keep track of the weight INe
the same scale and wear ap-
proximately the same clothing.
—It isn't necessary to cut
oi.it all desserts and snai ks, as
long as their calorie count is
included m the daily total
Fresh flints are good for
snacks
—Keep a supply of raw car-
rots, radishes, celery sticky and
pickles for more snacking
Tomato juice nr clear bouillon
No other pen can make ink goV^so far
The Parker Jotter writes longer than any other ball point At any price. Yet,
the Jotter will cost you only $1.98. And a Parker Jotter is designed to be kept,
in an age when most things are designed to be thrown away. That's why wet
make the longest writing refills, for just 98E We figure that if a pen isn’t'
worth saving, it wasn't worth that much to begin with.
