Watch Your Weight Department of Health This time of year with the a bundance of low-calorie veget ables and fruits, is a good time to shed the extra pounds put on through eating heavier foods. Vegetables and fruits provide an excellent low-cost diet. Many of these foods are nutritious eat en raw. Generally speaking, people who are overweight neither feel as well nor live as long as slen der people. Excess weight in creases likelihood of diabetes, contributes to high blood pres sure and kidney disease and is associated with hardening of the arteries and with various heart diseases. It means impaired vigor, in creased fatigue, possible liver breakdown, greater surgical risk, and greater danger of com plications from otherwise min or illnesses. When a fat person reduces properly, he may add years to his life, improve his earning capacity and become more attractive. Before one goes on a reduc ing diet, he should see his phy sician and have a complete phys ical examination. Haphazard di eting may be harmful. Reduce in a healthful way, under a phy sician's guidance, and feel well as the pounds disappear. A calorie is a calorie, no mat ter when it is eaten. It is the total amount of food that is con sumed during the 24 hours that matters, not what is eaten at any specific meal. Every per son should base his daily food intake on those elements essen tial for good health. Eat regul arly. Leaving out any meal is very unwise. By using good judgment in choosing and serving the prop er kinds of foods, you'll feel bet ter, look better, and have a more enjoyable time. Keep your appetite under control. Losing weight is something only you can make yourself do. THANKS FOR NOTHING Opelika, Ala. When a tire went flat on his car outside his small town. Charlie Plott went looking for help.
