"A YEAR AGO everyone was trying to
reduce. But lately, beauty special
lists in town have been besieged by
inquiries from people who find they
are too thin for beauty. And near
ly always, the advice is-drink
milk.
Drink a glass of milk with each
: OF the three meals. Drink one in
mjd-morning and mid-afternoon,
and one-hot, preferably-before
going to bed. This sounds as
though the stomach were to be
given lot to do; but tho rule Is,
that the stomach can be fed almost
any number of times q day, pro-
vided the feeding be at regular in
tervals.
Sometimes milk sours in the
stomach. The women who find this
SO, often take a few teaspoons of
lime juice in each glass, to prevent
this after-curdling. Others find
that buttermilk agrees with the
system better. Buttermilk is not so
rich in fats but has an excellent
tonic effect upon the whole
stomach.
Besides, milk being a liquid, aids
in-the digesting of the other solid
foods: Few people drink senough
liquids. Old age could be showed
off by ten or more years, il women
made a habit Of water or milk
drinking.
Milk helps to make clear, soft
ly tinted complexion, partly be-
cause the liquid of it helps diges-
ton, partly because of it's own
nature. You will find that the wom-
en- who drink milk have far health
Ter, clearer skins than their sisters
who indulge in tea and coffee. s
