HEALTH HINTS

While some persons suffer from *.
cessive fat production. others are trou.
bled because they are underweight in
proportion TO their height. This may
depend upon one Of several conditions.
There may be an inherited predisrosi.
ton to spareness Of body. 1t may be
due to excessive mental or physical
exertion. Or It may be caused by
some obscure disease such as tuber.
culosis.
Persons OF slender build are often
stronger, more enduring and more
resistant to disease than those who
are inclined to stoutness, yet though
slenderness may mean physical
strength and resistance. leanness may
mean physical weakness and suscep.
tibility to disease.
The cause which produces the lean.
ness must be the guide in treatment.
II the condition is due to worry or
removed.
II to overwork. the work should be
iessened In quantity or changed t.
some other kind. II the appetite is
defective tonic may be necessary.
Meals must not be eaten when the
body is tired out. Foods should be ap.
petizing served and varied In char.
actcr, preceded and followed by a
short rest. IL possible, and the meals
should not be more than four or five
hours apart.
Some thin persons have an aver
sion to fat. This should be overcome
II possible and the diet made to In
clude liberal amount Of fatty food
such as cream. butter fried crisp ba
con and olive oil.
In fat building the carbohydrates
or starches and sugars are especially
valuable. Thick soups, such as PURGE
Of barley, peas and rice, and soups
thickened with flour should be includ
ed in the daily diet.
Dreamed vegetables are an aid to
fat building. Desserts should include
buildings containing milk. butter and
sugar. Milk, cocoa and chocolate
should be drunk with meals.
