XCESSIvE thinness IL more Diff
~ cult to treat, as q rule, than obes-
tty for 1t is generally the result
OF mal-assimilation. which IL really a
disease. Food reduction will mitigate
or entirely cure most cases Of obesity,
but to increase food consumption is
By NO means an eff1cacious method Of
treating thinness. Mal-assimilation
may result from many causes; when
such cases are obstinate and accom-
panied BY weakness a diagnosis
should be made by a skilled physician
and q regime laid out and followed.
There are other cases where appar-
emily healthy women fall below the
average In weight; in such cases the
cause can often be found and treated.
Nerves, Worry and Digestion.
We must remember that there Is
nothing more dependent on the men
tai attitude than the process Of diges-
ton. Nervousness, worry, over-excite-
ment, have q direct and quick re-
Election in the digestive fluids. The
body IL not q machine governed only
by physical laws; If it were so, all
people would profit by the same re-
gime, which we know is not the case.
Most regimes outlined for flesh ac-
cumulation lay stress on increasing
the consumption of starch and sugar.
Az has been already pointed out,
these are flesh-producing foods, but un-
fortunately. they are not always cas-
lily digested, and in such cases do
more harm than good. Most thin peo-
pie have a delicate or capricious d.
gestive apparatus and to overburden
this would probably bring about dys-
pepsia, which would result In de-
creased rather than increased flesh.
The first step in overcoming thin
ness. therefore, is to overcome diff
culties In digestion. If such is the
result Of nervousness. overcome this;
II 1t comes from overwork. rest and
sleep more; If from improper food.
find out just what kind of food best
agrees with you and limit your diet
to this.
Get at least eight hours sleep every
night in a well aired room. On awak.
ing sip slowly glass of hot milk or
cup of chocolate Throw the windows
wide open and go through the breath
ing exercises in Lesson x. Follow
these by the wand exercises given in
Lesson XII. Battle and dress and
you will have q good appetite for
breakfast.

Perfect Physical Proportions.
There is always q certain differ
ence of opinion as to what consti-
tutes perfect physical proportions.
Some artists admire the tall woman
and others the short. but In either
case the rest Of the body should be
fashioned in accord. The ideal ex-
pressed In early Greek sculpture
shows the head but oneseventh the
entire height of the body. but modern
taste has considerably modified this
standard. The following table is re-
garded as the ideal modern figure:
The Topeka state journal., 1914-02-07
Have q Good srsa,sfast.

For breakfast eat all that appetite
demands, but choose food easily digest
ed. Take no fried food, hot cakes or
strong tea or coffee. Fruit, cereals
and cream. eggs, bacon and buttered
toast make q nourishing and not too
heavy meal. Hot rolls, graham muf-
fms. stewed fruit, creamed potatoes,
creamed faxed fish. broiled fish are
all suitable breakfast dishes.
No matter what the weather or
your occupation. spend q part OF the
morning out Of doors. Make the early
part of the day the busiest. Lunch ut
ishing. Soup, preferably one made
with cream, q vegetable with cream or
butter sauce, light dessert OF stewed
fruit or custard and q glass Of milk
make q satisfying lunch. f
l should add here that milk should
not be drunk with q meal that in
cludes meat. For this reason 1t il
suitable for lunch, but not for din
ner.
After lunch lie down for an hour
and sleep If possible. With a little
practice sleep will come. Two hours
before dinner take glass Of hot milk,
matted milk or chocolate with q few
biscuits or light cakes. Follow this
with a walk or some form of exer-
cises.
The Important Meal Of the Day.
Dinner should be the important
meal of the day; If practical. have it
served in courses, In pleasant COM
pany and eat slowly. Dinner should
include soup, fish, II one likes 1t, chick
en- or a little grilled or roasted meat,
several vegetables. salad with olive oil
dressing. pudding or fruit. The only
beverage is cool (not iced) pure wa
ter. but the meal may close with q
small cup Of black coffee If this does
not induce sleeplessness.
Before going to sleep sip a glass Of
milk with a dry biscuit. This regime
gives you nourishment FIVE times q
day. Do not eat more often.
Excess Flesh at Waist and the Too
Full Bust.
Excess flesh is prone to accumulate
about the waist line. the hips and the
bust. When these parts are equally
affected the reducing exercises that I
have given in Lesson XII, and the
diet should be followed exactly.
When there Is more flesh on one part
Of the body than on another, certain
exercises should be repeated.
We cannot safely reduce the size Of
the bust except by breathing exer-
cises that tend to harden the bosom
and make it more firm. But we can
reduce the flesh under the arms. This
is a bad place for excess flesh, for it
makes the bust look large and causes
the arms to hang in awkward fashion.
Reduction on this part of the body
can be effected by reducing exer-
else 1 given in Lesson XII and also
by the following exercise which
we will call r. 4. r. 4-Stand erect
ly. well poised on the ball of the
foot. right arm hanging straight with

A woman's age makes some differ
ence in the weight Of the body. As .
woman grows older her bones become
heavier, and a slight increase in
flesh is not only becoming, but an In
dication Of good physical health. Re-
member that muscles weigh more than
flabby flesh, and turning the flesh to
muscle will make the measurements
smaller. even If the weight is not de-
creased. An increase in flesh accord
ing to age is taken into consideration
by some life insurance companies In
making policies. For example, a wom-
an It. 2 in. tall at twenty-one years
of age should weigh 110 lbs. at thirty
five years of age she should weigh 125
lbs. and ten pounds moro at sixty-nve
years old.
Women with small bones cannot
carry to advantage as much flesh a.
can those with larger frames, for the
reason that flesh, whether it IL fat or
muscle. takes up more room than
bones. Considerations of this sort
must govern the amount one should
weigh.
