A SUMNER REDUCTION
Method by Which the Stout Woman May
Become Thin.

The fat woman isn't happy. Now is the
summer of her discomfort; and, If she is
on bad terms with herself in the winter,
she cuts her own acquaintances in hot
weather
The shirt waist is responsible for good
deal of her anguish of spirit. In a tight
fitting winter gown one can feel that
ones tailor offsets, to certain de-
gree, the malevolence of the fates
but given 200 pounds of flesh and a
thin white shirt waist the result
equals an unknown quantity of de-
moralization. Thin summer frocks aren't
much better. though the line of demarca-
tion between bodice and skirt not being
80 definite as in the case of a shirt waist,
the thin frock doesn't so accentuate the
superfuity of too solid flesh. Then, too
one can have thin frocks whaleboned and
lined, which gives mental and moral, as
well as material, support to the woman
who thinks she weighs more than she
should. OF course, the lining makes the
frock hot, but heat is largely a matter
Of spirit, and no stunts of temperature
can make the average woman so hot as
the consciousness that she is looking her
worst
Fortunately, says the New York Sum-"
beneficent Providence has decreed that
the season when superfuous flesh is most
obnoxious to its possessor is the season
when reduction OF flesh is easiest and
least trying. The woman who is deter
mined to reduce has fewer privations to

vineland. N. J., is little proud of the
fact that it possesses full-fedged dress
reformer who has the courage of her con-
victions-the courage to dress as she in
sists women ought to clothe themselves.
Miss Susan P. Fowler is not only dress
reformer, but she is a suffragist. Be-
cause the women in Vineland were not
allowed to vote for public library at
recent election. Miss Fowler has advised
all her sisters to rebuke the arrogant
male population by holding special cleo
ton and depositing their votes in sepa-
rate ballot box for the library.
Miss Fowler is the original bloomer girl
of south Jersey. She adopted the reform
dress over half century ago. Her usual
reform dress costume consists of close
fitting jacket, short skirts Just reaching
to the knees. and then pantaloons, some
times of corduroy, often cheviot.
When labOring about her farm of five
acres. which is situated along Chestnut
Avenue, just beyond the borough limits.
Miss Fowler wears her trousers tucked
into a pair of stout cowhide boots. She
can again be seen this year daily harrow
ing, plowing. hoeing. seeding, cultivating.
harvesting her crops, or saving and chop
ping wood.
Though weighing only eighty-four
pounds Vinelands wee farmer girl does
all the work about the farm as dexter
ouSly as any man. Miss Fowler boasts
of cultivating 5000 sweet potato plants In
one season and putting 1900 of the plants
into hills in one day, besides doing other
work.
Miss Fowler is intensely fond of horses
and is said to be a keen trader.
A descendant of New England Puritan
stock, Miss Fowler was born at Ames-
bury. Mass. In her early days she was
a handsome belle of the town. She taught
school for a while there and can relate
many a happy talk with the poet Whit
tier. She has discussed reform dress

slower If they expect to reduce they
must, at least, take more exercise than
usual. and If uncomfortable laziness for
bids their making the requisite physical
effort, they can at least take passive eX-

Massage of the right sort will unques-

a masseur only upon recommendation of
reputable physician.
Excessive fat and excessive thinness are
both results of an unhealthy condition.
Massage, by inducing normal and heal
thy condition, may either increase or re-

fat people who will not do their own ex
ercising. Massage rollers which, In vary
ing forms, may be bought at any drug
store. are good thing if the patient can
not afford the services of a good masseur
and must do her own massaging. In mas
saying for reduction no fatty oil should
be used There are jellies, soaps, and
other preparations which may be sub
stituted and do not feed the fat cells.
Rational breathing is vital part of the
required exercise. but is utterly neglected
by many wpuld-be thins. Fat people are
short winded. They breathe with only a
part of their lungs and do not take in
enough oxygen to burn up the desired
amount of carbon, or fat. The fat wo-
man should study and practice breathing
with unfagging duration. 1t should be as
regular a part of her morning and even
ing regime as any feature of her toilet,
and should be practiced during the day.
A few lessons in breathing from a teacher
of physical culture are good investment,

Water must not be drunk dur

There is, according to a fair
consensus of medical opinion,
the whole body Of the reduc-
ton law and gospel. Individual
doctors give individual touches
to the regimen; but upon that
diet, with proper exercise, the
fat woman is bound to lose
flesh in satisfactory fashion.
The process isn't formidable.
All meats, all fish. except
salmon, are permissible.
All OF the summer vegeta-
bles except potatoes may be

are allowed.
Going without bread seems
to be the hardest feature of
the diet for most women, and
the ordinary woman usually

the general health is sure to
