HEALTH AND REDUCTION AIDS.
Since some readers write and tell
me that they are following the diet
| to the letter and still do not lose
| weight, l shall explain that question
| in to-day's lesson. First OF all, |
want to say that 1t Is not possible to
follow this obesity diet as 1t should
DO followed and not lose weight.
| To begin with, this would abso-
iutely be- q physical impossibility.
Something In surely wrong, and those
who do not see any Improvement In
their figures after nearly four weeks
treatment are eating some kinds OF
fattening foods. even II they are not
! aware OF the fact. Remember that
YOU must eliminate starches, sugar
and fats in all forms, and those who
are inclined to be stout Will not lose
weight IL ever so small a quantity OF
the forbidden foods Is taken.
Then, too, there Is another point tc
be remembered. and that is that some
persons will take off weight without
lany particular exertion or self denial
while others will work increasingly
and get so little results. This may b'
discouraging, but 1t should not cause
YOU to lose faith and give up trying
to bring the figure to normal. health,
nroportions. This condition, of course
depcnds on the individuals age, gen
eral health, occupation and environ
ments, SO that no hard and fast rul'
can be set down for all and bring thu
same results.
Just as In the case OF Illness on,

OF MARKET Street
After Stretch Between Front
and Fourth is Finished,
Work Will Be Stopped
MERCHANTS COMPLAIN
OF LOSS OF TRADE

Market street will be paved this
year from Fourth 10 Front streets
only. The street is to be paved TO
Eleventh by the Union Paving Com
psny, but work on the remaining
stretch will not be started until
spring. as the officials will not risk
the paving in winter.
The work is still slowly progress
ing in the small portion OF street
now being paved. The eastern side
Of the street, between Front and
Fourth, has been laid with gravel,
but bricks have been laid in that
side Of the street only between Front
and Second streets. Between the
eastern rails Of the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Co.. bricks
have been laid as tar as Third street.
The loss of time last week is at
tributed by the officials TO the tardiness
in the delivery of gravel by the Charles
Warner Company. Their truck became
disabled last week it is said, and il was
found impossible 10 deliver the mater
ial otherwise. With the delivery of the
gravel the men were able TO again start
the work this morning. If everything
is carried through without similar trou.
bic during the remainder of the time, the
work should be finished within a short
time. -Four days will be required 10 lay
the gravel in the street, If il is delivered
on time. and the matter Of laying the
bricks in the street will require but a
comparatively short time, SO that by
next week the street between Front and
Fourth streets should be in perfect con-
dition.
Complaints are being heard from every
direction Of the slowness of the work
and the way the street has been tied
up. causing serious loss in trade TO mor-
