Your littie girl la probably over
weight for the same reason that
you were overweight, Mother, and
that is that the is overeating for
her needs. Yes, she should have
swimming, skating and dancing,
it she can, and increase her other
physical exercises, too. Of course,
it is always wise to; have a check
op by a physician, occasionally,
where there is any symptom of
disease or not, so I would have
her examined. With your experi
ence fii reducing your own weight,
you will know how to reduce hers.
It is important for a fat child
to . have her weight reduced, lor
overweight, as well as under
weight, makes children more sus
4vtib'le to diseases. Besides, the
fat child is at a disadvantage with
her playmates and may be made
unhappy from their Jibes.
It Is very important in reduc
ing children's weight that only
candies and other sweets, starches
and fats are limited, for the full
quota of growth foods should be
taken every day. -The reducing
pamphlet gives directions which
may be applied to children.
Striae Gravidarum
"Since the birth of my baby, I
was left rrith whitish lines on my
abdomer. Will these marks ever

.ex known as striae
gravidarum. (Striae means lines
or stripes and gravidarum means
pregnant.) They are due to
stretching of the skin and thin
ning out of the under layer,' with
the formation of scar tissue. Once
they have appeared, they will al
ways remain.
These striae may appear after
any great stretching of the skin
in heavy, pendulous breasts, for
Instance, from overweight, or from
a large tumor. "
Striae gravidarum can largely
ba prevented, according to Mc-
Pheeters, by persistent dally mas
sage of the abdomen, begun
around the second or third months
of pregnancy, with some lubricant,
such as cocoa butter or oil. (It
is the massage that is effective).
Then the abdominal wall should
be supported by a properly fitting
support. It must not be tight,
however, for wearing tight supr
ports predisposes to the weakness
of the abdominal wall.
Exercise of the trunk muscles,
especially those that are taken
lying on the back by raising the
legs, or the body and Walking on
all fours, also strengthens the wall
and helps to make an easier la

to start that very afternoon, but
we couldn't ily far with empty
stomachs so father went out to
find us some food.
"Cold weather had driven the
snails and water Insects deep into

had to dig deep to get them. He
had a hard time of it and on his
last trip he stayed In the water

determined not to come back to

before he knew it had spread its

dug out the snail and tried to
wade back with It to shore he
found he couldn't more his feet.
"Father struggled and strug

the neighbors went with us to try
to get him -out It was no use!
He was sealed tight In a cake of
ice and we had to stand there and
watch- him turn Into an , Ice Bird
without doing a thing to aid.
"How dreadful-." exclaimed the
boy. Drake nodded his head.
"TerrlWe," agreed he. "None

if we could possibly help it we
would never let Ice catch us un

Every bite of food you eat MUST
be digested, and the wast J matter
eliminated. That's sure; If your
stomach Is sluggish and old. from
the excessive acids which keep
eatiag away the gastric Juices, you
must dissolve them, or you never
will be free from indigestion, sour
risings, bloating and drowsiness
after you eat. -
Get a package ot Pape's Diapep
ain from your nearest drug store
and chew one of the tablets after
meals. Instantly the distress Is re.
tiered. It dissolves the acids,
weetens the stomach and you win
have an appetite again like you
had when a child. :
