However, both said couver, B.C. Miss Campbell and Mist Berg they were enjoying the United States and are from Sydney, Australia, and are on a Canada very much, round-the-world tour which they plan to Americans by On Liquid Reducing Diet By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International "New York 4UPD The hula hoop fad was small potatoes compared to the proportions of the liquid diet fad. Secretaries are sipping the "900 calorie" drinks at lunch counters, bosses arc drinking them in the privacy of the executive suite, mothers are using the stuff for an emer gency meal for the kids. It's even appearing at cock tall parties! One of the fluid meals re portedly has made It to the menus at the While House. Arid the Quaker Oats Co. announced thai Us "Quota," In chocolate, vanilla and ba nana flavored powder form, is being test-marketed In the Midwest and soon will go into supermarkets nationally. You also can buy liquid diet powder In orange, chocohtc, vanilla, butterscotch, and even coffee-flavored. For the dieters who want to wander from the regular flavors, there are other ways of dressing up the drinks. Many Flavors You make it rum flavored by adding imitation rum ex tract; get a brandy-flavored one by adding Imitation brandy. Prices on jars and cans of the compounds In the New York area range from 80 cents to $1.59 for a full day's sup ply. The lowest price is found at a discount house pushing its own brand of "900 calorie" a day powder. Competition Is so hot In the fluid meal field that the na tion's first producer-Mead-Johnson Co.-rccenlly cut its price from $1.50 to $l'.20. The firm brought out Mctrc cal in September, 1059, beef ing up its sales promotion with clinical reports from doctors who had used liquid diets in reducing programs. Some patients had lost near ly a pound a day. Others lost less, but almost all who stuck to the liquid meals lost some weight. William De Lay, a spokes man for the Indianapolis firm, said production constantly is being expanded to keep pace with demand. Comes in Cartons The pioneer producer also was the first to offer ready- ENROLL WMV&m CAREER COURSES SHORT COURSES FASTER EFFECTIVE TRAINING PLAN NOW TO ATTEND ROBERTSON SCHOOL of BUSINESS MEDFORD SP 3-4264 ROSEBURG OR 3-7256 News Thousands mixed liquid diet in a six-can carton -like beer -making it easier for those who want to tote liquid meals to the office Or a cocktail party. The Mead-Johnson firm has no firm hold on the basic formula, De Lay said. As a result, there now arc some 40 brands available. Leo Bertlsh, president of the Whclan Drug Co., said his firm Is getting best results with a version of the liquid diet powder that combines coffee and chocolate flavor ing. The coffee gives the diet er an extra surge of energy. Bertlsh said his firm's com pound, like the others, is for tified with essentials needed for nutrition. As a result, the body is not robbed of any thing during the liquid diet. But to keep on the safe side, many makers of liquid diet repeatedly point out that physicians should be consult ed on how you should work the liquid diet into your re ducing program. Persons who have heart trouble, kidney ailments and other difficulties arc urged to see their doctors before try ing liquid diets. But meanwhile, the liquid diets have done more than reduce some fatties. They've taken over where t'Miltown left off as a topic of conver sation. Some Gain Weight A public relations executive complained that his secretary, on a fluid diet for seven weeks, is beginning to look like six o'clock. National Airlines allows Its stewardesses to serve the stuff to those who prefer it for breakfast. There are no guarantees, of course, that the diet will re duce everyone. A New York career girl-plump but also short-went on the diet for 10 days and gained a half pound. "Besides, 1 was burping all over the place," she said. To make the liquid dieting easier, many restaurants and hotels serve it on request. Some drug stores find it is giving the hamburger compe tition. When the diet works, It proves, of course, what doc tors have maintained all along: that most persons arc overweight because they eat KLAMATH FALLS TU 2-4126 Social Events too much - and the excess calories are stored in pads of fat. By limiting the intake to 900 calorics a day-a difficult diet the old calorie-counting, food-limiting way-the body Is given a chance to burn up calories stashed in fat, The fat goes away. The liquid diets do not wash fat out of the system, as some reducing products in the past have claimed to do. A New York accountant who had this idea was using the liquid diet instead Of des sert. He gained weight. For the skinny people who can't put on weight, there's now a liquid fat supplemcnt- Lipomul. The manufacturer, Upjohn Co., rcporls that sales of that product, too, are soaring. Dr. Philip L. White, secre tary of the American Medical Associalion Council on Foods and Nutrition, says: "The use of better grade formula weight reduction products under proper condi. Hons is medically sound. How ever, the careless use of such formula diets is unsound. "The short-term use of the 900-caloric formulas will not harm the individual who is just a teeny bit overweight. "However, such persons will achieve more satisfactory long-term results when they develop and maintain good eating habits - then weight maintenance will no longer be a problem." Mrs. Eisenhower Dispels Doubts Washington - IUP1I - Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower has dis pelled any doubts that she will invite Mrs. John F. Kennedy to make a pro-inauguration In spection of the White House. Mrs. Eisenhower had been expected lo extend the invlla tion, but the present first lady hadn't made a public state ment about it until Friday Questioned by reporters at at White House coming out parly she sponsored for her two debutante nieces, Mrs, Eisenhower said: "Oh Indeed. I can't now. But of course I'm going to." She referred to the fact that the visit to the executive mansion would have to await Mrs Kennedy's recovery from the birth Friday of her second child. The courtesy has been cus tomary. Mrs. Truman, wife of former President Harry S Truman, took Mrs. Eisenhow er on a cellar-to-attic tour of the executive mansion after the 1955! election. Mrs. Eisen hower remarked that Mrs Truman "was very sweet to me."

The two young women are on a round-the-world tour. They plan to stop from time to time to work in places of interest. Miss Campbell has been a legal secretary in Syd ney, and Miss Berg has been on the Sydney staff of Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios. They made the trip across the Pacific by way of New Zealand, the Philippines and other islands, and spent some time in Vancouver, B.C., be fore coming to Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. Stone and their son, Orlan, took their guests to Crater lake, to San Fran cisco, and on various sight seeing tours in this area. This was in the nature of a "re ciprocity program" since Miss Campbell and Miss Berg and their families had entertained Orlan Stone in their homes while he was stationed in Syd ney with the United States Navy in 1956, and had taken him on sightseeing trips in Australia. The Stones regretted the fact that a heavy snow pre vented the visitors from ac tually seeing famous Crater lake, but one had never seen snow before, and both enjoy ed the scenery in the vicinity of the lake. Another "first" for the visit ors was a Mexican dinner of tacos and tortillas. From Medford the two young women were returning to Vancouver and from there planned to leave for Toronto, Canada, where they will spend several weeks. .

SANTA'S VISITING MEDFORD CHILDREN Starling December 1 $1.00 FOR APPOINTMENTS Phone SP 3-7000 Sponsored by Epiilon Sigma Alpha Sorority ggggg When Potpourri started a hunt recently for hand-made Christmas cards to embellish yesterday's picture page, a number of kind souls responded. Since we are a keeper of cards, (we always have tucked away here and there cards from four or five years back) some came from our "files." Arncl Butler and Mrs. George Kellington brought in cards decorated with pictures which they had taken. Mr. Butler had used his grandson as a subject, the result being an appealing picture of a small boy looking hopefully up the fireplace chimney as If expecting Santa Claus. The Kellingtons had devised a clever card by taking very small pictures of family members and combining them with a larger one with the result that members appeared to be trimming the bough of a huge Christmas tree. The Hedberg's card reproduced on the page was the work of Mrs. Elwood B. Hedberg Betty who one year made scores of tiny green felt Christmas stockings and dec orated them with sequins and other baubles before attaching them to the cards. The middle card in the reproduction is the work of Mrs. Paul Rothermel, the former Helen Hinck of Medford. Since the Rothermels now live in Arizona, she sketched a desert scene for cards one year. Many busy couples, like the J. P. Tobins, the Frank Bashes and the Otto Frohnamyers, make their own cards if they find the time and inspiration. For many years the Edward grams" at Christmas. These are printed in Irish green, and on personal message. According to the Greeting of cards purchased and mailed this year will run into the billions. They come in every imaginable kind, size arid price ranee for every taste. Some of the most beautiful and ap propriate are reproductions of famous religious paintings by the world's best known artists. Others are themed to professions, hobbies and special interests. There are cards for fishermen, golfers, bowlers, sports car enthusiasts; cards for those who were born on Christmas and special cards for brothers, sisters, parents and other relatives. In other words, whatever the kind of card the buyer wants, he is sure to find it. If not, he can become a "do it yourselfer" and make his own. A few years ago this reporter heard talks by a young couple who had returned to this country after several years in China. They were, we decided, thoroughly indoctrinated by the Communists. One of the statements made by the young woman (who had lived in Philadelphia as a child and student) was that in the United States there is not the same feeling of responsibility is in Communist China. With that she must be thinking of not know, and we asked her to Salvation Army, the Boy and United Crusades, the many muscular dystrophy, etc. All thousands of others, millions plain people in this country to their fellow men. She fell unconvinced. While watching the CBS on TV's Channel Five Friday came back to our mind. Those who saw the program know what we mean. For gram was a documentary on workers in this country and haps the American turned Communist (who knew about the slum condition in Philadelphia) rant workers workers about whom one farmer was quoted as saying "farmers in this country at one time owned their slaves; now we rent them." The film showed workers, ported in trucks for long distances like animals, showed living conditions unbelievably bad and brought out the fact that children of these workers are receiving very little schooling. It was said that the government is spending millions of dollars to improve conditions for migratory waterfowls, and that congress has refused aid the migratory workers Perhaps the documentary his group made will stir up the nation to do something. We hope so. For we refuse to believe that a nation which spends millions of dollars on sports, other millions on liquor and still other millions on cosmetics, and Christmas cards can con tinue to tolerate seeing a large segment of the population live under conditions which in some instances are worse than those provided for the nation's dairy herds and poultry flocks.
