Author OF AT Good Old siwash.-

EAT is a bank account OF flesh
which Nature lays up against
L hard times
Fat cannot help a man or animal do
its work and in times of prosperity IS
entirely useless. It is a deadhead
riding around on a perpetual pass.
Nothing is more irritating than TO
hoist a hundred pounds Of fat uphill
and let it painfully downhiu each day
without being able to collect fare from
it
However. in time of famine fat
comes nObly to the rescue When a
man cannot get beefsteak and bread
he can live on his fat for many days
although his stomach. which isn't in
vited to the banquet, makes terrible
fuss over it.
However. famine is unpopular now
adays and is q great rarity, while fat
keeps steadily on increasing, especially
in our best society.
Working classes are not generally
troubled with fat because when a far
cell gets between two muscle cells
which are working it is usually ground
VI. However. after man has lived
on choice food for generation and
has ridden easy chairs through life
with great persistence, he usually be-
gins to outgrOw his clothes for the
second time at about the age Of 40.
Most unfortunately the word man"
is here used rs the word voter is in
suffrage states
Nowadays fat is a greater calamity
than appendicitis or any disease which
can be cut out with a carving knife.
When the human body begins TO put
on flesh il does so with an enthusiasm
which cannot be headed into more use

decided TO put on flesh he can cut his

To be really alive means more than
to be a moving. breathing. eating
