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.

The pioneer producer also
was the first to offer ready-

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

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."

Australians
Are Visitors
In Medford
Miss Lorraine Campbell
and Miss Judy Berg of Syd
ney, Australia, left Medford
last week after having been
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Stone and family, Pioneer
road. 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.

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. O.S.
