PALACE FOR CATS
Unique Idea of Woman in Con-

Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars Ex-

Pets-Most Expensive "cat-

World.

Mrs. Clifford b. Harmon has erected

acre of ground. The buildings include
the kennels for the cats, an Office and

expert who is in direct charge Of the
animals. The cottage contains ten
rooms altogether, including a living
room, a dining room, sleeping rooms.

How Not to Grow Fat and Still Keep

How Not to Grow Fat and Still kssp
Well Nourished.
Many foods are very nourishing, but
do not produce fat. The two kinds
which create fatty tissues are fats OF
all kinds, like butter, lard, drippings
foods cooked In them, and the large
group Of foods classed as starches. II
eaten in excess starch will be laid up
in the body as supernuous or stored
fat.
Following is list Of nourishing
foods which will not produce excess
fat:
Light meats, like chicken, white fish,
lean beef, all vegetables except pota-
toes, parsnips and other starchy kinds,
fruits Of all kinds except bananas
grains or cereals except oatmeal and
rice, beans and cheese, milk lin small
quantity and eggs.
Beer and all malt drinks increase
fatty tendency. The diet of milk and
eggs will fatten unless exercise Is TAX
en- or the body is In very rundown
condition. Cocoa is fattening drink
also.
Exercise, plenty of water between
meals and a diet of lean meats and
many vegetables and fruits prevent
fat. Avoid pastries, cake, fried foods,
gravies and sauces. Do not eat be-
tween meals. Live In the open air and
be active If possible perspire freely
some time each day.
