They are used instead of lath for lining

FOOD FOR THE FAT,
A Course of Diet That Will Reduce
the Most Obstinate.

A certain celebrated woman doctor
who knows all the fat women in Londor
and New York, and is considered one OF
the best authorities on obesity in the
country, is just home from England. II
is rumored that she went abroad on {
special commission from Nine Blavatsky,
but no SCORER was she summoned thar
the esoteric priestess received a message
from the occult world forbidding her te
tamper with her $40 pounds of theoso
phical loneliness.
When asked about the matter the doc
tor refused to talk.
Here is a dietary prescription foi

curative as we'll as reductive:
Observation-Disclosures, lamb chops OF
fish, broiled, boiled or baked, and ser we'd
without any butter, gravy, or sauce.
sliced tomatoes, lettuce or celery il
season and coffee with saccharine, which
is tar and sugar product, and has none
OF the i'll effects Of pure sugar on obesity.
Lunch-Cold meat and a salad.
Dinner-Clear soup, shell fish, or o
plainly cooked fish; a choice of roast

condiments, and any non-starch vege
