your advice in regard to few things.
| am too thin, weighing. only 1O2
pounds; height, Eve feet three inches;
age, 80 years. II you will kindly tell
me what to eat to gain flesh will
gladly follow your directions. I do
not care for cabbage, beets, parsnips.
Are they a necessity? am very fond
Of beefstealz, fried. Is that a healthful
way to eat It? am also fond of ice
cream. Is there any skin food could
use on my face to fill out my cheeks?
Any advice will be thankfully re-
ceived. Your friend, Mrs. L. G.
Words of commentator and appre-
citation are always welcome and en-.
couraging. I 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 sailed, or dried and
dipped in chocolate, the result will 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
agrees with you and furnishes gusta.
tory enjoyment will be good food for
you. The vegetables you mention are
not necessary. There are many ways
Of preparing steak which make 1t
more palatable and easily digestible
than frying. Broilng is the simplest
way. l would not advise you TO use
the so.called skin foods. Natures
methods are better.
Oklahoma.-Dr. David II. Reeder,
Laporte, Ind. Dear Sir: My husband
has smoked cigars great many years
and has grown nervous. l am very
anxious for him to leave IL off and he
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 l am hopeful.
Now what would you suggest? Is
there a remedy or is there anything
l 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. /. 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.
ton in which your husband now is, to
break off the use of it suddenly. II
is a poison and the system has be.
come habituated to it, and would suf.
fer If deprived. 1t can be discontin.
ued gradually, however, IL 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. l am 25 years of age. ANY
| remedy you would advise for me to
use would be greatly appreciated. Re
specially yours, P. ].
| AS a rule, sleep-walking, OF 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 cal
no meat or other muscle-making food
after three o'clock p. M, but that
your supper be very light, and con
slst of fruits, and cereals and that
you eat it not later than six O'Clock
Also that just before retiring yor
place into q receptacle for heating
one-half teacupful of milk, and one
half teacupful of water. Let this bt
heated just to the boiling point, but mo-
boiled; sip it slowly with a teaspoon
A pinch of salt can be added If de
sired to make it a little more palat
able. You will find this very sooth
ing to the nerves and think you will
sleep we'll without further trouble.
