There is ore person who, whatever her
disco mfort at a temperature rising gee-
fully toward the 40 mark. must neverthe-
! less feel an inward satisfaction In the
| thought of what that temperature is doing
! for her. This person is the woman whose
weight is well over one hundred and sew
! enty-fve pounds. 1t seems almost impos-
, sible that such a heat wave as the last
| can leave her as IL found her.
Heat and tho cOncomitant Of heat, per-
sp'ration. are great reducers Of avoirdu-
pois. At rhe same time these rcducers
are weakening, and the stout woman needs
| to take especial care OF her health while
she may rejoice in the thought of the loss
| che is undergoing.
| The pity is that she does not, while eli
matte conditions arc delightful and while
| heat is moderate. bring aboSt the same
| results with more comfort-as she easily
I could. Unless flesh In undesired quantities

ey is the most deadly foe OF adipose tissue.
! OF course we must remember that in this
case cause and effect are very closely
allied. The fat person is fat because OF
! lazines.? Well. this is undoubtedly true H.
many cases. But the stout person is also
lazy because Of the weight that has TO be
| carried which indisposes to any kind OF
/ exertion It is evident, then, that will
power must be called into play. There
must be enough hrmness to drive the un-
willing, fat-burdened muscles 10 activity
