Il am fond of walking"
1t is a good thing. But be careful
that you do not drink too much fluid
while walking. Walking brings on
WEAKNESS and thirst, and the tempta-
ton is to drink too much water. There
have been cases where a woman really
grew fleshier on exercise. And the rea-
son was not far to find. 1t was simply
and entirely because Of her water
drinking propensities. She would drink
fun glass of water, or of soda or OF
sarsaparilla OF. other mixed fluid to ev-
cry mile she walked. The result was
seen in a quickened digestion and an
accumulation of fat"
But what shall l do when l am
thirsty?"
Take a bite of fresh fruit. Keep an
apple or an orange on the table by your
side, and, when thirsty, take d bite or
such of the fruit. Your thirst will be
quenched and you will not take in such
quantities of water"
when walking, what can l drink, or
when golfing?"
DO not drink. but try to Stake your
thirst again upon fruit. Take whole
grape fruit. or the juice of two oranges.
Take the fruit slowly and you will feel
your thirst disappearing. 1t is bad
plan to drink too much fluid when you
are reducing"

woman good for everybody who can
not exercise in the open air.
But you have not told me what TO

am taking your walking exercises? Are
all foods good for me?"
by no means. There are foods that
can be taken in as queat quantity as
you may desire. These include lamb
chops, baked potatoes. steWed fruits OF
all kinds. boiled and baked fish, fowl
and vegetables. This gives you fine
variety"
And the foods to avoid are?"
Fried foods-pork. veal, liver and
cheese. Sticky pastry, intense sweets.
red meat generally. nuts aud she'll fish.
Avoid also anything that seems fatty
and avoid all foods that are known to
disagree with you. There is such a
thing as personal idiosyncrasy, and you
must study your own peculiarities if |
you expect TO secure a dietary which
will agree with you.
How will this affect my complex
