New YORK, April 27.-"All women
might to be as slender and supple at so as
at 25."
DR. Helen Densmore, who says this, is
,arhaps as we'll known and as successful as
anv New York specialist who has followed
on the heels of Banting aud attacked the
nroblem of flesh reduction. Corpulent and
dvspeptic board of trade men and DER
nlump matrons of the 400 just now sit
mournfully beside the scales in her recep-
tion parlor, for DIR. Densmore is withdraw
ing from practice, and the famous diets
which distracted the cooks but abstracted
the pounds will distract and abstract no
longer.
MEN and women should not allow them
selves to grow stout as they grow older"

essary to have too much flesh to be carried

nothing;
"Ah, but you should have seen me when

Jelly flesh pricks up her ears
''In 1850 Thackeray was writing o bout
the New York girl The women here in
New York. said the novelist, almost with
out exception, are as lean as greyhounds,
and dress magnificently in the fashions of
the better class of Partisan actresses Max
O'Rell notes our gowns, but he says moth
ing about lankpesS or leanness, for the like
ness to the hound has been lost in a single
generation. American people are accumu-
lating flesh, especially American women.
Find woman who is passing the milemark
of 35, and twice out of four times she is
nervous about her hight and sensitive
about her waist measure
Now there is no reason in nature and
no necessity for such change. The bony
structure of a woman ought to determine
her size, and when the figure has matured
at "a years old or %, and enough flesh has
been put on to give an appearance of
plumpness without the least suspicion of fat.
then this developed form should remain the
same lust so 1.-the and just so 'girlish--as
we say, not understanding that the grlish
figure is the natural one--up to old age
Every woman has her normal weight and
at no time of life ought she to exceed it."
What do you mean by the normal
weight Of persona

feet high, if the individual weighs less
than SO pounds or more than 132. These
figures give the minimum and maximum
weights regarded as safe for that hight.
The average or normal weight is lis
pounds. Take a woman of average hight,
say feet 5 inches. The London rule is,
minimum 49, maximum 161, normal
weight 140. Take man who is feet tall.
He cannot be insured if his weight is below
IA or above 1876. He ought to weigh 10
Roughly, the allowance is about 5 pounds
additional weight for every inch in
hight"
"'And fair, fat and 40 need not 60 to-
gether as adjectivesY'
Fat GU ght never to go with fair. To
greatly exceed ones normal weight is
prind tdcie evidence of impaired nutrition
The food taken is used in forming an I'M
due deposit in the simultaneous tissue.
Neither heart nor lungs can act easily and
healthy, being oppressed by the gradually
gathering burden. To win race a horse
or an athlete must be in condition To run
the race or life no man or woman ought to
be handicapped by weight which makes
active movements difficult, upstairs ascents
difficult, respiration thick and painting
Fat itself is a disease, as much 50 as
emaciation, and its!opposite extreme"
And what starts a woman to pIling up
the detested pounds?n
auently, childbirth, fit of sickness, great
sorrow or grief. Especially where the ten
delcy is hereditary will these incidents de-
veop it. The growing luxurious habits in
eating have more to do with it than any
one generally operating cause. The habits
OF women, lack of exercise, indoor life
etc, foster it, though it is a mistake to
ascribe so much Importance to sedentary
life as many people do. The tendency is
much stronger in women than in men
though it is growing on the sex mascu-
line"
And could woman who is stout grow
slim again" queried an anxious over-bur-
dened creature, who weighs 200 pounds
What shall do so that people
say, 'See that fat woman"
