brown bread, for instance, tho slices
| Drowned 10 fresh butter on griddle,
which makes an appetizer of the good

| made dishes as you please, provided
| they are well made. All thin people
wishing to grow plump should begin
with simple, easily digested food, al

| care Is taken to select very digestible
| food it is true that the more one cats
the more one can eat, and the system

| taught to gargle the throat we'll with
cold water every time it brushes its
