FOR THE WOMEN
WHO WANT TO

LISTEN. All We fat women. and tax,

ISTEN. all We fat women. and take
hope. Amelia Summerville who
- weighed 24S pounds when she ap-
peared as the Merry Little Noun
tain Maid. and who is now one of the
prize beauties in The Earl and the
Girl" has been telling how she did it.
And this is how:
For the fat woman to lose weight
requires the most heroic measures. Sit
ting down and talking about 1t will
never do bit of good
Worry may take off a few pounds
but 1t will bring plenty of wrinkles
Diet and exercise alone will do the
work.

analyzed and knows exactly what is
in them 1 sincerely recommend that
they be let alone.
by diet / do not mean starvation.
mean simply the elimination of fat-pro-
duclng foods.
Fat is simply over r-nourishment.
When l say exercise / do not mean
to wear yourself out by violent ex-
ercise. That makes muscle, and muscle
is never attractive for q woman
walking will do more to aid a wom-
an in getting rid of her surplus fat
than any other one thing.
my daily walk has become a necessity
The day Is incomplete without it.
My meals are simple, but sufficient.
For breakfast l have fruit, coffee anG
dry toast, with little butter. l seldom
eat luncheon and never anything more
hearty than some tea and toast or q
salad.
For dinner 1 forego soups, rich sauces
potatoes, creamed vegetables and sweets
Instead l eat a piece of steak or roast
beef or lamb or mutton or chops. some
vegetable which is not fattening, and g
salad.
Green vegetables are splendid things
to eat and the drinking of hot tea is help
full In the reduction. Milk, cream. butter
and sugar are not to be thought of.
Neither can woman indulge in ales
beer or wine and hope to lose flesh
Plenty of sour lemonade is excellent fol
her to drink, even better than plair
water.
II think breakfast is the most fattenins
meal of the day. The woman who per

never reduce her weight.
"And no one can lose weight in a day oil

However, don't get discouraged, and

THE CASE SETTLED
Sensational Breach of Promise Suit
Brought Against Prominent Woman
of WaverIy is Settled Out of Court.

Waterloo, March 21.--Great surprise
was expressed yesterday when it be-
came known that the famous breach
of promise suit in which George X.
Bowder sued Effie Hartman Curtiss
of this city for $4,000, has been set
tied The simple entry has been made
on the court calender stating that the
case was settled by stipulation and
the costs were paid by the defendant,
is all that can be found out about the
case, though it lis rumored that the
settlement was made by the defendant
paying to Mr. Bowder the sum Of
$500, only a fraction Of the amount Of
money that it was alleged Mr.. Bowder
had paid in entertaining and lavish
buying for Mrs. Hartman during the
period Of their engagement and up to
the time that the lady was suddenly
welded to Custiss.
The settlement was made after many
conferences between the attorneys of
both parties to the case, and the over
lures came from the defendant. Neith-
er the plaintiff nor defendant has any
thing to say concerning the settlement
and an effort is being made to keep the
matter quiet and to cover up the terms
of the settlement
Mr.. Bowder seems we'll satisfied with
the settlement, but is not inclined to
talk about it, Mrs. Curtis, who was
here to agree to the terms of the set
Element, has returned to her home. If
the case had. come to trial, it would,
without doubt, have been a sensational
one, as the petition had many racy
accusations embodied in 1t.
