Gourmet Dining on a Bodybuilder's Budget

Fitness through famine has become an institution so well respected that most serious dieters wouldn't dream of whipping up mousse or pate for fear of losing their rank in the race for 3% bodyfat. The dieter obediently takes the attitude that the less food there is and the simpler it is, the better it is for the diet.

This is true: Raw food in its natural state actually is best. It contains all the live enzymes that are destroyed in cooking, so you need and eat less of it to survive. Yes, this would be ideal, but unfortunately this practice is rarely taught in civilized cultures, and it would (Continues on page 238)

Bodybuilder-actor Richard Brose knows that M&F's low-budget meals skimp only on their cost, not their nutritional value. When he's not concentrating on diet, Richard makes his presence felt as the title character in Universal Studios Tour extravaganza 'Conan the Barbarian.'"

General Motors Delco Car Stereo.

Take it out on a drab day. A rainy day. Right into a sullen traffic jam. Then turn it on.

Suddenly, your world is sunshine! Roses! Bright colors! A world on wheels you never thought possible!

You see. Delco stereo systems are made especially for GM cars. The front-rear speakers are acoustically tailored to each body style to fill your car with a sound that's fantastically rich and real. A sound you can get two ways:

First, with Delco AM/FM Stereo Radio for varied programming.

Or go with the 6-track StereoTape system. Then you can pick a number, any number. And take it with you anywhere.

But you've really got to hear it for yourself. Test drive a Delco Stereo in a new Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick or Cadillac. Ask for one with Delco FM Stereo. Or Delco StereoTape. Or both.

And let the rest of the world dull by.

"Am I...? Am I not...? - The truth at the ninth day.

Confidentially. In your home. You and Graviteste, alone.

At the ninth day without menstruation, you go to a pharmacy and buy Graviteste (you don't need a prescription).

And in two hours you'll know if you are pregnant or not. Without third parties being brought into the matter. Without having to go here or there. Using a method as safe as laboratorial ones (99% reliable).

Graviteste detects a special hormone that is produced by your urine when you are pregnant.

It's a simple and practical process: Graviteste includes a test tube, a drop-measurer, an ampoule, a small mirror and a support.

Once you have collected your morning's urine into a thoroughly clean recipient, you place three drops in the test tube, you add the content of the ampoule, shake and place the test tube on the support - then you wait two hours for the result.

If at the bottom of the tube (the mirror will help you to see) there appears a red ring, you are pregnant.

If not, the lack of menstruation may be due to other reasons and it would be advisable to seek a doctor.

(Caption of the image) You are pregnant You are not pregnant

And there you have it! All with the utmost privacy. It's all between you and Graviteste. All of it perfectly by yourself."

In lifting the ban on 'Married Love' Federal Judge John. M. Woolsey said this famous book 'was neither immoral nor obscene, but highly informative... It pleads for a better understanding by husbands of the physical and emotional side of the sex life of their wives... I cannot imagine a normal mind to which this book would seem to be obscene or immoral.'"

I wonder if you remember me - you husbands to whom I said last Christmas the things I could not say to my husband!

I was the woman whose husband gave her each Christmas some pretty trinket. The woman whose youth was slipping from her too fast. The woman whose cleaning burdens were too heavy. The woman who wanted, but could not ask for, a Hoover. I'm not the woman of a year ago.

In one short year I have discovered that youth need not go so swiftly - that cleaning duties need not be burdensome.

For last Christmas my husband did give me a Hoover!
