10 TAKE Ak PLACE 4 OF THE Biz
Simple Arrangement Will Solve Prob
Il / lem That Has Often Wor
II ried Careful Mothers.

Very frequently mothers are con-
fronted with the problem of placing
q napkin over. q child's dress when the
child is partaking OF a meal away
from home. All children resent hav-
ing q napkin tied about their little
.necks in careless fashion. There IL
one way Of holding the bib in POSI-
ton. This il by means Of two little
clasps which are attached to the ends
of strip Of braid or ribbon. It is
quite likely, however, that mother
would forget to carry this device with
her. In such case she must resort
to the material on hand, which, after
all, is very fine test for everyone.
The woman who can do well with the
things on hand without having to ap-
ply outside, assistance is truly clever.
Such distinction is to be given to
the mother who thought of the follow
ing idea when pins and clasps were
not available. She tied two knots In
one corner Of the napkin and tucked
the knotted end into the child's dress,
at the neck. The knots weighted the
end of the napkin SO that 1t was bound
to stay in place. You. mothers and
guardians of children try this stunt
the next time you are at loss to
know what to do to keep the napkin
before your little ones dress.

BEST WAY TO REDUCE FLESH
Safety Must Be Considered, az Well
40 Most Efficient Way Of Remov-
Ak inn Adipose Tissue.

The quickest and safest: way to re-
duce flesh Is to adopt a we'll balanced
diet that excludes all carbonaceous
foods. Starch. sugar, oil and alcohol
should be put aside by fat person.
To set an appetizing table, yet omit
these, is not SO difficult as may appear,
for there remain all kinds of meat ex-
'cepting pork, all game; all sea food, all
fruit except bananas, majority of sal.
ads and green vegetables--in fact all
vegetables except potatoes, corn, dried
beans and lentils. From this list it is
easy to compose variety of tempting
menus. Eggs also may be eaten in
moderation, and the amount of oil
used in salad dressing is not enough
to be fattening. ,.,.- t. n m
Strip, gravy, milk, bread, potatoes,
cereals. sweets and alcohol beverages
are to be avoided. Bar, these rigorous
ly from the table and within month
you will begin to lose flesh. Z Il.
1t is simple matter to eliminate
from your diet all foods that are ex-
cessively fat-producing. 1t is treat.
ment that cannot fail to reduce your
flesh II you adhere to it, and If you
compose your menus with care and in
telligence you will be surprised to note
how little you will miss these forbid
den foods after brief time. ::G.ssr
When you have attained the weight
you desire it is not necessary to follow
the diet quite SO closely. Nevertheless
you should be on your guard against
fat-producing foods, for If it is your
tendency to be corpulent all such food
will be fatal to your figure. y, +
