Pat AND LEAN PEoPLE.-It IL a striking fact
that most people want to weigh more than they
do, and measure their health by their weight, as
II man were a pig, valuable in proportion TO
his heaviness. The racer " not fat, the plOw
horse has but a moderate amount OF flesh.
Heavy men are not those which experienced
contractors employ TO dig railroad and dig
bitches. Thin men the world over, are the men
for the work; for endurance, they are wiry aud
hardy; thin people live the longest. The truth
1t, fat is disease, and proof, fat people are
never well day at a time-and are not suited
for hard work. Sull there il a medium between
being as fat as a butter bali and a. thin and
juiceless as a ran. For mere looks, a moderate
rotundily is most desirable, TO have enough
flesh TO cover all sngularities. To accomplish
this In the shortest time a man should work but
little, sleep great part Of the time, allow
nothing TO worry him, keep always in Joyous,
laughing mood, and live chiefly on albuminstes,
such a. boiled cracked wheat, aud rye, and
oats, and corn, and barley, with sweet milk aud
buttermIlk and meats. Sugar is the best fat
