SUpERFLUOUS FLESH.
How to Reduce 1t by Regular Exercise
and Correct Diet.


The woman who is plump at eight
cen, whose dimples are charming, and
who delights in her rounded arms and
the neck in which the bones do not
show. suddenly discovers, when she
gets near thirty. that she is inclined to
be what is politely known as "feshy.'
The flesh has got soft aud fiabby, and
she stands in front of her mirror and
gazes at her arms and neck with hor-
ror. First of all, she might as well
make up her mind that she is not 60
ing to try killing herself by taking any
quack medicine with guarantees to
make her look like Sarah Bernhardt.
Instead, she will arrange her diet to
suit the state of affairs. but that does
not mean that she must starve herself.
AS certain as she attempts to live on a
glass of milk and bunch of grapes,
lust so certainly will her flesh disap-
pear. aud lett in its place will be
wrinkles, and she will look ten years
older. even if she is ten pounds less in
weight. Now. to lose some OF the
extra flesh you want first of all to exer-
else either by riding or walking with
regularity walk two miles one
day. tire yourself out and then not
walk again for a week, but instead oil
that have a regular distance and keep
to it. Then have something to do

aud work in sympathy. Avoid all
sweet wines. all sweetmeats, pastry,
nuts, fresh bread. chocolate. milk and
any vegetable that has much starch II
