couraging. thank you. How to get
fat? That is easy, but there are few
who will comply with the easy rules.
These easy rules are: Work less,
sleep more, worry less, eat more,
drink less while eating, chew more.
Eat for dessert, daily after dinner,
one ounce of almond nut meats. II
the skins are removed by scalding and
the meats are then slightly roasted,
buttered and salted, or dried and
! dipped in chocolate, the result win be
best. Drink no tea or coffee, but
drink an abundance of water between
meals. The emphatic points are: No
worry, plenty OF sleep. Observe all Of
these rules and you will grow as
plump and rosy as you desire.
Any good wholesome food that

tory enjoyment will be good food for

not necessary. There are many ways

than frying. Broiling is the simplest
| way. would not advise you to use
the so-called skin foods. Natures
methods are better.

Laporte, Ind. Dear Sir: My husband
has smoked cigars great many years
and has grown nervous. I am very
anxious for him to leave 1t OF and lie
would do so. but he knows what a
struggle it would be, and how many
temptations would be thrown in his
way, that am really afraid that if he
should try to give it up entirely
he would not succeed He is just up
from an attack of catarrhal fever and
is not smoking, but may be to-mor-
now, yet I am hopeful.
Now what would you suggest? Is
there remedy or is there anything
could put in his food that would de-
stroy the longing for tobacco? Kind
ly give me your advice for which l
will be thankful. Yours truly,
Mrs. I. w.
While am very much opposed to
the use of tobacco in any form, yet l
consider it unwise= for a person, espe-
cially one in the debilitated condi-
tion in which your husband now is, to
break off the use of it suddenly It
is poison and the system has be-
come habituated to it, and would suf-
fer If deprived. It can be disconti1-
ued gradually, however, If there are
certain remedies fed to the system
and nerves in order to counteract the
effects. The best of these are in the
tissue elements, or cell salts. These
are harmless and safe home remedies,
contain no opiates. nor anything that
would interfere with digestion, and in
fact are simply the foods demanded
by nature in order to maintain the in
tegrity of the system.
Iowa.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind. Dear Sir: am troubled
with getting up in my sleep and walk
ing about l have been troubled in
this way ever since was child and
seem otherwise to be in a healthy
condition. I am 25 years of age. Any
remedy you would advise for me to |
use would be greatly appreciated. Re
spectfully yours, P. J.
AS rule, sleep-walking, or any dis
turbance of the sleep. is usually due |
to indigestion, usually arising from
eating hearty food at the evening |
meal. would suggest that you eat |
no meat or other muscle-making food |
after three o'clock p. M, but that
your supper be very light, and con-
sist of fruits, and cereals and that
you eat it not later than six o'clock.
Also that just before retiring you
place into a receptacle for heating,
one-half teacupful of milk, and one
half teacupful of water. Let this be
heated just to the boiling point, but not
boiled; sip it slowly with q teaspoon.
A pinch of salt can be added IL de-
sired to make it little more palat-
able. You will find this very sooth-
ing to the nerves and think you will
sleep well without further trouble.
