Second Breakfast and Odd Snacks
Will Help You Increase Vitality
ALICIA MARKOVA: Dancing won her health and fame.
By ALICIA HART
If you have a small appetite and can’t eat very much at one time
then eat more often, suggests Alicia Markova, world-famous classic
ballerina of the Ballet Tneatre.
Only 97 pounds, Markova’s daily schedule is as strenuous as a
longshoreman s, and to keep up with her energy-consuming routine
the dancer eats five times a day, plus a couple of strawberry milk
shakes for good measure.
As a child, she was painfully thin and anemic, and at the recom
mendation of her doctorr she took dancing lessons to build herself ut>
Today, though Markova looks as fragile as a china doll, she has the
constitution of,a powerhouse—and the enviable reputation of being
one of the greatest ballerines of all times.
Sg, if you are trying to gain weight and build up energy form
her habit of having a second breakfast around 11 o’clock a mid
afternoon snack and something light an hour or so before retiring.

SLIDE FASTENER RETURNS
Slide fasteners will reappear,
with WPB blessing, in a new war
model made from rejected steel.
It will take the place of plastic
buttons. Sb.de fastener production,
up until now, has been banned by
t'VPB due to manpower and metal
shortage. Government conserva
tionists hope that additional ones
on the market can be used to re
place old worn out ones, and thus
save the clothing supply to some
extent.
FEATHER MERCHANT NOTE
An official in the textile, leather
and clothing division of WPB an
nounced in Washington this week
that goose and duck feathers and
down are at a premium, and that
all importers and processors will
be encouraged by the government
to expand all possible foreign sour
ces to augment the inadequate do
mestic supply. All feathers must
be clean and new to be acceptable
for Army use in sleeping bags for
soldiers.
