We're so used to reading articles about reducing, instead of keeping healthily plump, that the phrase "watch your weight" makes us think we're going to be advised not to get fat. But we ad- vise our readers to get as much to eat as they can, and '* watch your weight" to us means — be on the lookout against under- weight in buying food stuffs, either from stores or pushcarts, though under frantic competition you can hardly blame a push- carteer for taking any sort of advantage — to keep alive.
