Nature Regulates Fatness and siinaness
with an Iron Rule.

win an Iron 6ulGs
Fatness and slimness come by nature
and are therefore often impossible Of
remedy, for it is of no use, and 1t Is ut
ter folly besides, to fight against ones
constitution. You can affect that con-
stitution TO a certain extent, but beyond
that extent, which won't please either
the too fat or the too slim folks, you can
anly do haran, defeat hsYeFy object you
try for, and, worst of all, throw yourself
into i'll health. 1t stands to reason that
ii man or woman comes Of big boned,
stoutly built stock be or she may reason
ably be expected to inherit the tendency
to corpulence Conversely, suppose man
is born Of family stock which is notable
for its thinness and slimness, II may be,
and generally is, worse than folly for
him to expect, by any process Of feeding
or otherwise, to become a stout and well
favored person.
So let us realize this big fact at once
that we have to face the question OF
our constitution first of ali, and as SEN
sible people to see aud discover whether
our fatneas or our thinness is part and
parcel OF our natural build hest assured
if we are fat by nature ii is useless to
attempt by diet or otherwise to reduce
our bodies to slim proportions Many
man and woman has paid the penalty Of
such rashness by inducing disease
through their outrageous efforts 10
thwart nature. Let as be sensible, then,
about this ''fatness" question and see
clearly where as rational beings, we
stand. II is possible to keep even fat
