Fat Is Out of STYLE

To paraphrase Caesars remark. the di-

TO speak, TO the necessity OF either reduc-
ing at a very rapid rate or eliminating
themselves from public view until the
fashion dies out. otherwise they risk be-
ing ridiculous.
Since many fat ladies will not eliminate
themselves, however. but. per contra, Will
insist on wearing the curveless gown. no
course is open To this well-meaning scribe
other than to tell them how they may
eliminate the fat.
What Is there, then, that reduces fat
safely? What pleasant inexpensive article
is there on druggists shelves that can re-
duce a pound a day without causing
wrinkles or stomach ache? What can the
pharmacists offer as an Improvement over
