THE DIETING FAD
A congress of physicians, recently in session in New!
York City, condemned the dieting fad which seems to have ■
obsessed young girls and women. In the discussion emi
nent physicians demonstrated the fact that insufficient
nutrition in the teen ages especially, seriously interferes
with the proper development of the organs of the body.
They pointed to the inconsistency of their treating cases
of anemia superinduced by abstention from food, when
the preventive is sufficient nutrition. The congress went
so far as to declare its opinion that girls and women have
an entirely erroneous idea of the standards of the oppo
site sex when they feel that they have to make themselves4
slim in order to be regarded beautiful.
It is high time that the physicians of this country
condemned the dieting fad. It has seriously interfered
with the progress of young girls in their studies in our
public schools. It has rendered them of little or no use in
their homes so far as assistance to their mothers goes.
It has been productive of anemic conditions that have se
riously interfered with their proper physical development,
forcing them to enter life under a handicap for which no
one is responsible but their foolish selves. Very few
young girls are inclined to obesity; rather women after
they have passed the age of 40. If the latter want to
'“reduce” they can do so without so many dangerous con
sequences to themselves, but the former can not do so.
WORRIED ABOUT PIFFLE
Washington, writes Charles P. Stewart, has a new
burning question, a new critical issue that cannot be set
tled. It is: “Do cabinet members’ wives take precedence
over congresswomen at social functions?
Kingdoms may rise and wane, great moral and poli
tical issues may arise to tax every energy of the nation’s
most constructive statesmen; but always there will be
some members of the government who will find time to
worry about a thing like that.
Peggy Joyce has divorced her fourth husband, so can
didates for No. 5 may now form in line on the right.
It is reported locally that the motor
ship Boxer has made her last trip to
this port this year carrying supplies
for the Alaska Railroad.
Over 30,000 ties will arrive in port
from Seattle on the next vessel from
the south. The Cordova Mill and
Lumber company, has a good size tie
contract on which deliveries have al
ready been made.

Why Sundstrand is
showing the way
BECAUSE it does more kinds of figure work in an
easy, practical way—adds, multiplies, subtracts,
and divides.
Because it works in more places—can be comfort
ably carried to any part of office or factory.
Because it works for more people—any office worker
easily masters its simple 10-key operation.
These are real reasons why Standard Oil Co., Inter
national Harvester Co., Sears, Roebuck and Co., and
many other leaders use from 15 to 100 Sundstrands
each. “The reorder tells the story.”
ADDING and FIGURING
MACHINE
Sundstrand showed the way by devel
oping automatic column selection—by
originating complete one-hand control
—by improving correction facilities
and by perfecting an easy method of
rapid multiplication. There are also
modern protection features which pre
vent careless practices, guard against
errors and save wasted minutes. A
demonstration in your office will prove
all this—will show you why Sundstrand
has come into such general use. Write
or telephone for demonstration, free
catalog and leaflet, “Testimony.”
Be sure to see the Sundstrand on display in the sam
ple room at the Van Gilder Hotel.
