There is belief that lemon juice

English novelist. Dickens, whom
we know in my native Poland,
created a character called the Fat
Boy. Someone was always calling
for him and always exclaiming with
an expletive: Hes asleep"
The English author was acute.
He knew that fat people sleep over
much, and thata much sleep creates
surplus flesh. 1t is like the prob

the egg. But 1t is an absolutely
safe deduction that more than
seven hours sleep are too many for

Fat people grow fat because OF
imperfect oxysenation and faulty
elimination Of waste matter from
the system. Dancers never grow
fat, because their vigorous and reg
ular exercise occasions deep breath
ing, and deep breathing provides
plenty of fresh air for the body.
Also the same vigorous and regular
exercises, in other words, an active
life, promotes the elimination of
waste matter from the system.
Remember these two danger sig
mails on the road to fat. II you are
gaining flesh in an unwelcome
amount, you do not burn up with
the fresh air fame enough of the
food and other elements OF the
body. and you do not compel the
pores and lungs and other elimi.

work with thoroughness.
