But Two Meals for Stout Women.
NO Breakfast for Those who
want to II Re6uce their Flesh.


Want to Reduce their Flesh.
"At twelveio' clock sharp" writes Mrs.
). L. Rorer in the July LddieS' Home
Journal, direc ting the stout woman how
to cure her obesity, 1.-THE first meal of
the day should be taken Two we'll
broiled chops, or sweetbreads, or eggs in
any form, one slice of well-baked whole
wheat bread, buttered and thoroughly
masticated, and one green vegetable.
Eat enough to satisfy hunger, but Of the
more heterogeneous compound. For des-
rert a cup lcustard, or fruit-grapes,
peaches, oranges or baked apple.
''For the night meal have clear soup,
red meat-in fact any meat except pork
and veal-a succulent vegetable, like
spinach, cooked celery, little lettuce, new
peas, string beans, little raw cabbage,
or well-cOOked caulif over. All meat
must be broiled, roasted or boiled-not
fried. A half pound of meat may be
eaten at this meal. A piece of well-toast-
ed whole wheat bread, without butter,
bit of wel-ripened cheese, and cup of
clear coffee may form the dessert. The
success of this treatment lies In doing
without breakfast. The patient may
eat sufficient to satisfy hunger, but no
more ; in few days she will find that
the sO-called hunger is not felt at the pit
of the stomach, and in less than a week
she will enjoy the two meals a day-the
first at noon and the last at five or six
O'clOck-better than she ever enjoyed her
three meals"
