By Edna Kent Forbes.
Undermeight.

ANY people who are under
MI weight make the mistake. in
i = planning a fattening diet. OF
putting in too many fats. Foods that
are rich in fat making Ingredients are
necessary. OF course, but a certain
amount Of water and mineral salts
must be included. Else a poor skin
and indigestion result
The average adult requires about
six pounds OF food day-but three
and a half pounds OF this food is
water. Water is needed for the
health and the strength OF the body.
The more water you drink, the lon
ger YOU viii keep your yOuth-for
age is q gradual drying up OF the
body. But this is a theory too long
to be gone into today
The easiest way 10 take water and
mineral salts into the diet is through
fruits. And / want TO give list o.
some common fruits and their nutrit-
i've value in calOries- Each quantity
calories.
Apple sauce. one serving. Fresh or
baked apples. one very large or two
small ones. Bananas. one large one.
Fresh blackberries. two servings.
BURBERRY sauce, the same Half large
cantaloupe. one small glass Of grape
juice. One ordinary serving Of water
melon. Four raw tomatoes Two
baked ones. stuffed with bread
crumbs Three large plums- Two
servings OF pineapple. One very
large pear Three medium peaches
One large orange. one glass Of orange
juice. Two small glasses Of lemon
ade. An average bunch OF grapes
Fruit forms a large part Of the re-
duction diet. but should also form
part OF a diet to build up flesh, since
IL tones the entire system
Questions and Answers.

side OF the nose may be the start OF
mole. IL may be a whitehead, but
whatever il is don't squeeze or prick
It Even when pimple has come TO
a head it IS dangerous to prick It; Il
requires expert care TO prevent an
other pimple forming in the same
place. and infection easily sets in.
Let IL alone till il IS fully developed
then YOU can tell just what IL IS. and

laxative.

your letter personally. as there was
no stamped addressed envelope en-
closed. OF course this is necessary
for a personal answer. so much con-
fusion Of names and addresses results
otherwise.
