effete in this community, and nobody cares to
trouble themselves about its truth or falsity

Fat and Lean People.

IT is striking fact that most persons
want to weigh more than they do, and
measure their health by their weight, as
If man were pig, valuable in proportion
to his heaviness. The racer Is not fat
the plow-horse has but moderate
amount of flesh. Heavy men are not
those which experienced contractors en-
ploy to build railroads and dig bitches.
Thin men the world over are the men
for work for endurance, they are wiry
and hardy thin people live the longest
the truth is, fat is disease, and, rs proof,
fat people are never we'll day at a time,
and are not suited TO hard work Still,
there is a medium between being as fat
as butter ball and as thin and juiceless
as a rail. For mere looks, a moderate
rotundity is most desirable, to have
enough hesh to cover all angularities. 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 albuminates
such as boiled cracked wheat, aud rye
and oats, and barley, and corn, with sweet
milk and buttermilk and meats. Sugar
