How to Grow Fat.

1. Take soup and beer every
day, also hot milk-coffee or choco-
laie well sWeetened.
2. Let your food be chiefly far
inaceous and vegetable; bread
with butter; milk mush, potatoes.
cabbage, turnips, etc, prepared
with butter, sweet buildings.
Eat meat only once a day: the
fatter kinds are most suitable.
4. Take neither acids nor aka
lies, and avoid everything that
disagrees. Milk, butter and sugar
are very fattening, but every
body cannot take them with i'm
punity, and TO grow fat it is essen
tial that digestion be almost per-
feet
5. Sleep all you want, and take
exercise in moderation.
