IN the jiu-jitsu girl IL very stout, and
wants 10 get thin in a very short time, she
must take the reduction exercises while
she Is dieting. The hest time for theSe Is
an hour before breakfast, an hOuI IN the
middle Of the morning and half an hour IN
the middle Of the afternoon.
For lunch the jiu-jitsu girl takes nothing

still feels hungry she drinks two glasses Of
wate-
There are thoao who must have some
thing 10 eat at noon. Long habit has made
it necessary And for these there Ia a
choice Of two lunches.
The first is pint Of milk, slightly warmed,
and taken little by little. Or the jiu-jitsu
girl can take cup OF chocolate.
For dinner there is a nioe variety offered.
The iiu-jitsu girl can have boiled fish with
ba ked potatoes; she can have chicken
with cooked fresh vegetables; and she can
have slowed and fresh fruits. But she
must not eat nuts, cheese or salad il she
Is reducing her weight.
The woman who Is trying 10 get fat can
eat salads literally dressed with vinegar
and oil. she can eat nuts and all the cheese
milk and cream and she can eat graham
bread thickly spread with good sweet
butter
She can also partake Of rye bread COW
cred with cheese and she can make excel
lent salad sandwiches Of brown bread with
chopped lettuce. celery and watercress,
and she can also indulge heartily In cod
fish. other fish, chicken and beef
An excellent salad for the woman who
wants to increase her weight IL made by
taking the middle out Of a grape fruit
This fs cut up with white grapes, pieces
of celery, bits Of lettuce and a chopped
apple. over this Is poured a salad dress
ing and the whole il eaten with az much
oil a. possible,
The woman who wants 10 get fat must
eat a great many oily salads. But she must
mix the salads with lemon juice instead
of with vinegar And with her salad and
her bread and butter, she can drink glass
Of olaret which s decidedly fstteninR, OF
she can drink glass Of beer.
