YORK Is about rs follows: Avoid the by

but comfort yourself for the priYation by
eating fat, especially butter, as you please.
! Eat fat meat or lean meat, ham, pork or
lamb, beef, any fish desired. Eat no pots-
! toes, in auy form, but substitute peas, beans,
spiuach, asparagus and cab age Do not
| eat oatmeal or any breakfast cereal. Do
not often touch carrots, beets or turnips.
DO not be afraid of gravy. Do not use
| milk or eat desserts except unsugared fruits,
| and do not eat bread except in small quanti-
! ties. Eat three meals day. A typical
bill of fare for tweuty-four hours would
read as follows Breakfast, tea or coffee
without milk or sugar, eggs. A small
| quantity Of bread, buttered. Straw berries
apples, or some fruit unsW eetened. Dinner:
Soup, any meat, plenty of vegetables, with
| butter if liked, except as above forbidden,
| fresh fruit, sour wine. Supper: Tea
meat or fish, little bread cheese say twice

This diet will reduce flesh without impair
ing the health, taking off from twenty TO
twenty-five pounds in the course of year.
The anti-fat enthusiasts, of whom there are
many among fashionable women, go much
beyond the Ebstein system. A regimen
requiring some resolution to adhere to is
the one nrst given, as for moderate corpu-
lency, but allowing only two instead of
three meals day. Banting ate four meals,
but women are Zealots in some causes. The
most Spartan diet advocated is number
four, assorted to where an obstinate case
fails TO yield to number three. 1t sets the
limit of meals Per pay at two, but does rot
limit the amount TO be eaten. 1t confines
the food as strictly as possible to nitroge-
nous elements and is essentia ly a lean meat
cure. It allows all lean meats to be eaten,
and any fish except salmon. 1t forbids
tea and coffee altogether, it forb!ds pota-
toes altogether, Trowning also on oat-
meal, rice, tapioca, etc, peas. carrots and
beetS. 1t allows no bread, unless once
week possibly, no butter, no fat of any
kind. To inQuirers about substitutes for
bread and potatoes it must be answered
that cabbage, spinach, asparagus, etc, are
the best one can do. Tenderfoin steak is

1t is good for a loss of eight pounds nonth
or four pounds at a later period. Women
who follow it comoine the dieting with ex
ercise, mas age, daily baths, ana occasional
Turkish baths and fall back on number one
or two when nearly in fighting trim. -
Sour wines are allowed in any Of the diet
