work than usual
Workers are never fat, for activity is
attended by loss of tissue. When Maud S
gets yulgarly fat l have her work it down.
NQtall at once, for that would derange her
system, but according to a regular system of
exercise that increases with her strength
without the least eXhausting it, Instead
Of speeding her all around the track the
training begins with n quarter. The next
day half the circuit Is made; the following,
tLiree-q quarters, and the fourth the round at
the same pace. The regular work Is limited
TO brisk walk. This system is kept up
with 4 gradual Increase until she Is in con-
ditiOn.
TO RESTORE BEAUTY,
Now, this sort of methedical training
would reduce human flesh, restore a
w9man's lines of beauty, and not only re-
Ieye a man of his burdensome tissue, but
perfect his health and develop his strength"
Mr.. Bonner advocates regular exercise.
The fat woman must get up and move about,
not eight hours the first day. but half an
hour. She must work, row, walk, sweep,
swing clubs, swim, jump or play at some
field sport. Whatever the exercise, 1t must
be.repeated and heightened systematically,
until she can walk from the Battery 10 the
park or from Union square to the Harlem
without fatigue. This Is the sort Of treat
meut that is certain TO reduce the flesh, and
at the same time benefit the general health.

iIdulgence-is detrimental, and a long list of
ed.4leS is forbidden the would be thorough
bred. All farlnaceous foods must be given
up. and such cherished fayOrites as sweet

corn, breads, rice, taplOca, butter, fats,

celery, crosses, spinach ana onions must be
spanngly iHdulged IL, rare beef, 1tffl one
fruit and one vegetable, and a clear soup
sufiic,ng for dinner.
Another essential is an abundance OF
lqdidS which are less fattening than solid
foods: If an ample dinner is eaten the other
meal should be limited to fruits, cup OF
CHOCOLATE, clear soup or warm water ia

pie, Which is the most fattening article in the
mOdefn diet.
1t isessential that the appetite be restricted
and the meals limited TO two. Breakfast at

tive labor This will be a difficult matter

THE PACK" SYSTEM

As the woman Will be too weak to dress for
a few hours, nourishment must be taken
While in bed, and it viii be dangerous to sup

smaller tax on the digestive organs. Some

drink than a stinulant. Properly given
puck will reduce the weight thirty pounds
but to keep from reganing regular system
of exercise must be pursued. One of the
leading specialists in the treatment of obesi-
ty maintains that diet has everything to do
with the discomfort Or inconvenience of
superfuouS fat.
THE PROPER DIET.
:" It's quite impossible" he SAYS, "to give
hard and fast rules as 10 quantity and time
Of eating. as 50 much depends upon work,
exercise and ability Of persons to digest and
aSsiililate food. That diet of fish, fIut,
nuts, milk eggs, succulents and cheese will,
II maintained, reduce the flesh without de-
str0yng the general health in the least |
know from actual experience. | know, too,
that it will cure dyspepsia, improve the
health OF the body and Iengthen life"
This revolution in the mode OF living may
Sem Ike starvation, and will at first be at
tended by prostrations, as every change is;
but the human stomach is mans best and
most obedlent slave, and can be trained to
digest almost anything, All one needs is a
suf1iciency, and it does not make very much
difference to the appetite whether the sup
ply is roast beef and plum pudding OF
siewed prunes or soft-boiled eggs. 1t is
fact, however, that with exercise and what
is called the natural food obesity can be
cured. The desired reduction secured, the
Old form of mixed diet may be resumed,
provided the amount of exercise is increased.
The Duchess Of Marlborough, Lillian Rus
sell, Pauline Hall, Fanny Davenport and
Isabelle Urquhart have demonstrated the
value OF bunting walking, cycling, rowing
and riding in suDiugating the flesh. All of
these ladies' have weighing machines. and
when Il. pound too much is registered a
liberal dose Of exercise is taken at once.
by this method of weighing, watching and
working these beautiful women regulate
their bulk to the very ounce of desire.-N.
