have never worked so hard as | did
5urfng those months. | went to bed
every night so tired that l fell asleep
90 soon as / touched the sheets, and
Slept like a log until morning, which,
when you are reducing, means daylight.
You must get up at 3 O'Clock. You
must be out on the promenade at 5:45,
fqking your constitutional and drinking
7ho waters.
Now that I am home l am going to
keep up the treatment, for a While at
least Each morning / am going to rise
at o'clock. ] shall take salt bath.
A quick Tubing, followed by a good
rundown, viii furnish the salt water

Drink Water While Walking.
Then l shall >dress in light, loose
Fm the morning, and one does not have
10 dress up While dressing / shall sip
a glass Of spring wafer This cannot
get from the spring, Of course but /
can take it out Of bottle.
II shall start for my walk promptly
al o'clock, and l shall walk until 8.
stopping twice for d glass of spring
water at a drug store. This is one Of
the best keys to reducing. The water
tones up the system and supplies the
tissues with the necessary moisture
II can be cold and sparkling, and, taken
IN small glasses at intervals of half an
hour before breakfast. 1t relieves the
throat and wakes up the brain. OF
course, one must exercise all the time
and the water taken is more as a re-
freshment than a medicine
At O'Clock one comes home feeling
vigorous and ready for breakfast. A
walk of two hours, early in the morn
Ing before the world is awake. is
fine thing in every way. AS a reduc-
lion agent it cannot be overestimated
It is much better than a walk during
the day. The weather is better, the air
is clearer, and cooler. and one feels
more like taking exercise then.
Light Breakfast of Plain Food.
when you come back you can take a
light breakfast. Let your food be light
and easily digested. Fresh air breeds
vigorous appetite, but it is appetite
for good, easily digested foods. 1t is
not the critical pampered appetite of
the epicure.
The woman who is trying to get thin
can now go about her daily tasks as
though nothing had occurred to break
The usual monotony. And, if She be
pressed for time, she need not think of
reducing again until the next day. But
If she be an enthusiast, she can con-
tnue her exercise during the day.
AT the cures they keep you up late.
The object is to give you as little time
in bed as possible. They time your
sleeping hours to seven in number and
to keep YOU awake and moving they
give you music in the evening and they
encoura &c dancing.
Dancing is the best thing in the |
world for the woman who wants to re-
duce Ii gives her unconscious exercise. !
She exercises and she does not know |
that she is doing so. She perspires |
freely and she gets all i'm a glow. Her /
health is better and her spirits rise.
Sitting Conducive to Fat.
The woman who is reducing. accord
iug to the Baden Baden method, must |
n1t sit a great deal Digestion depends |
largely upon gravitation, and the wo-
man who sits will have indigestion and |
grow fat, She must walk, and, if she |
cannot get out to walk, she must stand. |
Ones feet are made TO support ones |
body Look how the shop girls stand |
all day and see how slender they are. |
They do not grow stout. They are on |
their feet too much. Nor do they get |
loo tired. Sitting a few minutes will
rest hem and they can stand an hour.
Don't be afraid to deny yourself the
good things of life. Learn that you
can be happy with slice of brown |
bread and d glass of milk. This viii
keep the stomach comfortable half a
day
The woman who is trying to reduce
by going without eating viii be hungry
all the time. But she can take the
noumshing foods that viii keep her
flied up and yet not add to her weight.
Don't drink anything with your
meals. A cup of coffee at breakfast is
allowed but no more. At other meals /
you can eat steNed fruit.
Here are the best foods: Brown
bread. the white meat of fowl, white
fish Of various kinds, broiled or boiled.
And for vegetables. spinach and sal
ads dressed with good oil. Let the fried
vegetables alone.
But get up in the morning. Walk
two hours before breakfast. Come back
refreshed and ready for the tasks Of
The day. Don't think you can lie in
bed until sunup and after and still re-
luce your weight"
