 In a fat person. the heart Is one of the first organs of the body to become seriously affected. It becomes en- closed in @ tight cordon of fat. and Is gradually suffocated until the victim Is found some morning, perhaps life- less. Apoplexy is also a common re- suit of fat. And there are many lesser diseases and weaknesses resulting While the body is thus in a weakened condition, the worst thing in the world to do is to try to reduce the fat with drugs or diet. There is a sure way which has become very popular among fat people, and which has been proven to be almost never-failing, and that ia the Obesity Reducer used by F. J.

Fat Men Don't
 Deserve Sympathy
They Sputter Around and Don't Do
 Much. They Need Urging,


 The average fat man sputters around and makes lots of fuss and muss- blunders awkwardly into everybody's way and then expects you to excuse him just because "he is so fat"
 The next time you meet one of this kind-who takes up more than his half of the seat-who spreads out into space that is really some one else's-and who is the general nuisance that most fat people are,-call a halt on him and give him a little straight common sense talk. He needs it.
 Ask him if he knows why he Is fat |? Whether he has really ever done a sensible thing in all his life toward re- ducing his fat? Tell him that people now-a- days know that fat is nothing more than disease. caused by im- proper assimilation of the food. Not indigestion. but a similar trouble. The system throws off lot of material that it should keep and keeps much that it should throw off. Tell your friend that F. J. Kellogg of Battle Creek Mich, has made an exhaustive, scientific study of fat and that Kellogg's Safe Fat Re- ducer is the most dependable remedy in the world to reduce flesh.
 This remedy comes in large crisp waters and tastes something like corn meal. It is very pleasant to take and really adds zest to meal. The action of these waters Is marvellous and the fat disappears at the rate of usually about pound a. day.
 Another good point about Kellogg's Safe Fat Reducer is that 1t not only takes off the fat, but also greatly i'm proves the health of anyone taking them. This remedy positively does not leave the skin loose or fiabby.
 Call your friends attention to the coupon in the lower corner of this page and insist on his sending 1t for a free S1.00 box as a test.

 Experience.
 There are so many different treat ments for fat used these days by those who are unable to make a fortunate selection, and who of course fail as a good advice to all fat people," says Mrs. Elizabeth Doolittle. well-known Red-Cross Nurse.
 When was about 40 years of age, I became so fat that tipped the scales at 200 pounds, and was so disgusted I did not know what to do.
 "Every remedy I used failed, and right here is where most fat people make a mistake. Just stop experi- 1nenting with yourselves, and try to find out first what treatment stands the test This is what I did.
 1T learned of the excellence of the treatment of Prof. r. J. Kellogg at Battle Creek, Michigan. which anyone can use at home. l thought was in fair health before took this treat ment, but now feel better than ever did before. When I began, I weighed 200 pounds, with chest measure AZ, waist measure 32. and hip measure 4s inches. In a few weeks time I lost weight without any i'll effects, until now weigh 148, with chest measuro 87. waist 27. and hips 40 inches.
 T cannot speak too highly of MT. Kellogg and the great work he is do- ing for fat-burdened humanity. Some fat people are afraid to venture, but none need be afraid of this treatment I have the honor of being q Red-Cross nurse and have been a nurse for over 15 years in Americas best Hospitals and have been brought in daily contact with sufferers.

Some Good Advice
 on What Not to Do
Dangers of Starvation Diet and In-
 furious Anti-Fat Drugs.

furious Anti-Fat Drugs.
 Tat as @ general rule comes from the failure of the digestive organs to do their work properly. It may come also from over-eating. In these cases there is always some part of the food eaten which Is not assimiiated as it snoula ul be. but is made up in the form of fat and sent by the blood to various parts of the body. This accumulation con- tinues constantly until within com- paratively short time the heart De. comes incased in layer or coating oI fat. The heart seems to be one or the first vital organs to become aHeoeeo in this manner.
 The food, therefore, in cases of fat, is not properly assimilated-thati Is, part of the food is retained by the pody which should not be retained, ana part which should be retained Is thrown out, This does not always mean dyspepsia or Indigestion, for one may have a very healthy stomach ana yet begin to grow fat, through no ap- parent cause. It ia evident to any one. then, that 10 try to starve away the rat IS noth rediculous and dangerous. It may of what is almost certain is that starva- tion diet will give a shock to the whole system and wreck 1t. The victim then becomes a subject for the sanitarium, or becomes an invalid. The same thlnS happens by trying to use anti-fat something which Is absurd and which sooner or later results in breakdown of some organ and consequent disease. Brights Disease, Nephritis. Gastritis and Neuritis may quickly follow such treatments.
