Noted Nutritionist Gives Common Sense Diet Rules By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York' (U.R) The com placent smile that follows a few weeks of successful dieting is the downfall of many a would be size 12. We smile too soon, one au-i thority said the other day. Then we sit back and start eating our regular food again and get right back to our original shape. "Treatment of overweight is in a very unsatisfactory stage," Dr. Frederick J. Stare, chairman of Harvard university's depart ment of nutition, stated frankly cn a. recent visit here to address a medical meeting. . Dr. Stare explained in an in terview that the new theories of weight losing are based on realistic, common sense rules. Keeping Weight Off "The hardest part of dieting is keeping the weight off once you lose it," he continued. "So for that reason the best diets are those planned around foods peo ple normally would eat. so they will stick to the diets for .years." The nutrition expert advocates a family - awareness program tnat -will make even children conscious of sensible eating. He says parents should set the ex ample by the size of the'food por tions on their .own plates.' "Eat three .meals a day, hut simply cut .down not. cut out,!,' he said. .

' ' - v "There are exceptions, inhere emotional problems' suddenly cause people to put on ailotf-if weight in a hurry,""- he ' said. "Generally a person must learn to live with a tendency to overweight." The bright spot, however, is in such added attractions to the "common sense" approach as be-fore-meal snacks. Dr. Stare ad vocates them for many people inclined to overeat. A "Scientific" pibble "There should be a 'sientific' nibble taken from one half hour to one hour before meals, as distinguished from the 'com mon nibble, he said. A nutritionists idea of a 'scientific" nibble is something you would have eaten at the ap proaching meal : anyway and not something extra. "If you were going to have a glass of milk at lunch anyway, drink it a half, hour before lunch," Dr Stare explained. "It gives time for the blood sugar to rise and reduces the appetite by meal time." In case there's anybody around who is too thin, just reverse the rule, the doctor advised. Don't nibble before mealtime. Have second -helpings instead. Department Reports , , On Cotton fabric Jests Washineton U.R) The De partment of Agriculture reports that cotton percales treated with a resin f misn to aeveiop crease resistance are as easy to care for as fabrics withput'the finisn.

"- The resin-finished .cloth showed improved crease resis tance, less shrinkage, less fray ing of edges less wrinkling from handling and laundering. The laundering caused a grad ual loss of resin, ranging from seven per cent in some fabrics to 25 per cent in others.
