SIMPLE FLESH REDUCTION
TREATMENT FOR SUMMER
Vigorous Walks in Early Morning Will Hasten
Taking Off of Flesh.

Summer is an ideal time to reduce
superfiuous flesh. Perspiration is condu-
Give to loss of flesh, and Lhe fact that
when the thermometer is high makes it
possible to eat a smaller quantity of
food without depicting the strength.
An excellent regimen to be followed for
flesh reduction in August begins with
walk in the morning. Not a pleasure
haunt, but exercise taken for the purpose
of literally pulling off flesh. The proper
costume for such walk, with the reduc-
ton idea in mind, should consist of warm
garments that would not exhaust tne
wearer. Precisely what these are each
person must decide for herself. For what
would be enough for one might overpoWer
another.
The walk must be taken before the sun
is high. and for that reason an hour pc
fore breakfast is a suitable period. me
walking must be done briskly, although
it Is not to be expected That 1t VIII be
mace that might be adopted In winter.
Returning from the walk. which should
consume at least half an hour, the pedes-
.rian will need a bath for retreshmeht.
Now teDid tubs are, as RUE, 1dttenliiS,
therefore | think it better TO nave d
sponge instead of immersinS the BODY. A
tablespoonful of alcohol to Dasn OF
water will be tonic, and the nuld may
be freely thrown over the body II the
bather stands on mat or pad to ABSORB
that which goes to the hoor AFTER
gentle drying, not a hard one, Tor that
is heating, fresh underwear must be put
on and the seeker for slendernesS must
don thin, cool gown. -
Breakfast may be a light meal dish

OF cereal and a cup of coffee being
enough. / think oatmeal with cream is
not fattening if no other food is taken
at the same time.
During the middle of the morning a
glass of sassafras tea Is an excellent SUBJ
stitute for food, and is made by sleeping
two tablespoonful. for half an hour. in
three pints of boiling water. 1t is strain
ed when cold, and may be sweetened a
little. il desired. This is frequently used
during reduction regimen. Water. freely
drunk between meals. aids loss of flesh.
and there is no doubt but that taken with
food it is fattening During the effort
to grow thin 1T should be avoided with the
meals and at least three pints taken
through the day. the first after a meal
being not less thar half an hour. and be-
fore a meal the same length of time.
This allows it to be aSSimilated or absorb
ed by the stomach. Some persons take a
quarter of a teaspoonfu of bicarbonate of
soda in half glass of hot water one-half
hour before meals. but in my opinion any
thing of this sort should not be taken
unless prescribed by physician.
Luncheon should be light meal of fish
and one vegetable. Salad seasoned with
French dressing is piquante, satisfying the
appetite. and is not fattening. Fruit must
be eaten sparingly, as it tends to make
flesh.
Water freely drunk during the after
noon will prevent pangs of hunger. and
dinner may begin with a thin meat soup,
hot or cold. after which meat freed from
fat, vegetables that are not starchy and
little fruit for dessert may be eaten.
More water through the evening and a
glassful on going to bed completes the
course. Exercise, such as sea bathing,
If it is possible, should be taken during
the day. MARGARET MIXTER.

Malone puts this man in a most peculiar
predicament He is not a subject of

his native country. This surely makes
him a man without 4 country, and should
give him every right of appeal.
Some time ago Sing determined that
he wanted to marry and he went to
China to choose bride. Being an Amer
ican citizen, he did not deem it necessary
to make certain assurances to the immi-
grafton inspectors, which those depart

then sailed back. But when he reached
