Among attractions at Mew York's IT orld fair opening April
30 will be Jimmie Lynch, who flirts with cars, tires and fate to
thrill thousands of motorists who go home thankful they can
drive safely. From new year's to note year's Jimmie roars up
ramps into thrills like that above, cheating injury with a firm
grip on the steering wheel.

Above two action photos illustrate one of Jimmie's favorite
tricks. Catapulting off a ramp, the running board bites the
ground. Thrilled throngs gasp with one voice but timing and
iron nerve bring Jimmie safely back to earth while the timid
souls watch pop-eyed. He's been doing such tricks ever since
the W'orld war, where he rode a motorcycle.

WHAT to EAT and WHY

cern. Thin people step on
that they have gained a pound
weigh themselves several tir
that the arrow will point to a
cases, the reason for this a
desire to look better. But tl
attain the weight at which one
feels better, for few people
realize that to weigh neither
too much nor too little is one
of the best possible aids to
buoyant health. Moreover, the
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. Otherwise, they
may find themselves burdened
with a mounting surplus of fat,
which not only destroys beauty,
but impairs health, and tends to
decrease both mental and physi
cal efficiency. On the other hand,
those who feel that they must
struggle to keep their weight up to
normal . . . who declare that
they simply cannot gain, no mat
ter how much they eat, should
acquaint themselves with the
high-caloric foods and make a per
sistent effort each day to eat a
little more than enough to meet
their needs. If a gain is achieved,
the result will be well worth the
effort. For just as overweight is
a handicap to health and efficien
cy, so have nutritionists observed
that physical efficiency may be
definitely decreased when the
weight falls more than 10 per cent
below the average for one’s height.
It is often said that it is easier
to lose weight than to gain it, and
in many cases this is true. For
the overweight person who con
sistently cuts 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
to gain have a tall, slender type
of body build. It has been deter
mined that in people of this type,
the digestive tract is usually short
er than in those having a stocky
build. Moreover, they tend to be
more tense, more active and of a
more nervous temperament. As a
result, the passage of food through

Why Let Yourself
Get Constipated?
Why endure those dull headachy
days due to constipation, plus the
inevitable trips to the medicine
chest, if you can avoid both by
getting at the cause of the trouble ?
If your constipation, like that
of millions, is due to lack of
“bulk” in the diet, the "better
way” is to eat Kellogg’s All-Bran.
This crunchy toasted breakfast
cereal is the ounce of prevention
that’s worth a pound of emer
gency relief. It helps you not only
to get regular but to keep regular,
day after day and month after
month, by the pleasantest means
you ever knew.
Eat Kellogg’s All-Bran every
day, drink plenty of water, and
see if you don’t forget all about
constipation. Made by Kellogg’s
in Battle Creek. Sold by every
grocer.
is How Food Can Make You
ps on Gaining Weight
rON GOUDISS
weight is a matter of great con
the scales in the hope of finding
or two. Fat people sometimes
les a day, trusting each time
slightly lower figure. In many
bsorbing interest is vanity—a
le real objective should be to
♦-—
the digestive tract may be so rap
id that it leaves the body before
all the available nutrients can be
utilized. At the same time, these
active people tend to burn up more
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. But 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.
Included in this classification
are eggs, cheese, cream, butter
or margarine, bacon, bread, cere
als, cream soups, custards, ice
<s>
cream, rice and tapioca puddings.
The addition of two or three
glasses of milk to the regular
meals will be found useful in in
creasing the fuel value of the
diet. Milk also belongs in the
reducing diet, but there it is used
to replace other high caloric foods.
Fruit juices will be found useful
in stimulating the appetite of those
who desire to gain; and the fuel
value of these beverages may be
increased by the addition of milk
or cream.
An Extra Meal
Very often it is possible to get
extra nourishment into the diet
by way of a light lunch in mid
morning, mid-afternoon or both
provided it does not interfere
with the appetite for the regular
meals. This may take the form of
fruit juice and crackers; malted
milk; cocoa, egg nog or plain
milk. A between-meal snack is
regarded as especially desirable
for thin people whose work is fa
tiguing. It will help them to sus
tain energy and prevent them
from coming to their regular
meals too tired to enjoy or profit
by food.
Importance of Rest
Since thin people have a ten
dency to tire quickly, they are ad
vised to get plenty of rest. There
should be long hours of sleep at
night, and nutritionists have also
observed that the food is opt to
be better utilized if a short rest
is taken before meals.

JOHN DURKIN,busy hotel man,
stepped outside with a friend
who snapped this photo of him with
his pocket tin of Prince Albert.
“I’ve been enjoying P.A. for 5 years
now,” Durkin says, "and for easy
rollin’, taste, and mildness nothing
beats P.A.” Well, that’s what you
expect from a finer grade of to
bacco, “crimp cut” for rollin’ ’em,
and treated to remove tongue-bite.
Try a pocket tin as a starter —
you’ll never know how good P.A.
is in a “makin’s” cigarette unless
you try it. No risk—just take hold
of the iron-clad money-back offer.
