REGULATION Wejoht.

There is only one way to regulate
body weight, and that is by the nat
ural method-by diet. exercise, bath
ing, etc.-by alimentation and elimina-
ton. The nostrums advertised to take
off flesh without change of diet are all
dangerous. Be sure Of that, and avoid
them. The same diet that will put
flesh on a thin man will take flesh off
a fat one. In other words, a natural
diet produces a natural condition of
the body.

Without the Improvements that

~Amoskeag were then in use on the

The Amoskeag represents the Amer

locomotive built by Stephenson, by the
substitution Of the horizontal for the
verticle boiler and the real for the
forward driving wheels.
Incidentally there is in the Amos
keag a feature that was first used by
locomotive builders. These locomo-
tives were the first to use the outside
connections, that is to place the cylin-
der pistons and connecting rods out
side the line Of the driving wheels.

locomotives were capable of hauling

For the ~Ironino Board.

Pad the ironing board with a thick
quilt or old blanket. then lay the
board on the table and cut a piece of
heavy muslin so it will fit the board
loosely. Seam it up, leaving the slip
open at each end. Make two of these
slips and change them frequently,
says Mothers Magazine. Thus the
ironing board is always clean. and the
padding will not have to be changed
for months.
