THE ART OF

Are you too. fat to be comfortable ?
Do you want to get rid Of any Of that
excess flesh?
Time and again rules for reducing
or how to gain weight have been pub
lished in newspapers and magazines.
Many readers have made resolutions
to follow them explicitly, and just as
often they have failed to carry them
out. 1t takes q lot Of perseverance to
adhere strictly to a set Of rules and
regulations on diet or exercise. 1 am
convinced, however, that exercises.
when practiced regularly and consci-
%entiOusly. are very important factors
in reducing. One certainly cannot re-
duce flesh by exercise alone; so all Of
the following are good:
without fail. Drink q glass of hot
water before breakfast n before re-
firing. Take a hot bath at night and
cold bath in the morning. Swim and
ride horseback when possible. as Doth
are excellent reducers. Avoid fats.
sweets and starches; instead. eat
fruits, non-starchy vegetables. greens
and meats with the exception Of pork.
Do not drink water with meals. Eat
bran instead of white bread.
With the above, reducing exercises
taken faithfully are. to my mind. most
effcctual. Many people believe they
are really meant to be fat or thin,

complain of their weight. Follow your
rules n say nothing. and you'll see
and feel the desired change.
1t is far better to leave tho table
before satisfying ones appetite than
to have a stuffy feeling for an hour or
so after a meal. Often the. family
have enough to eat before they reach

ing. AS a result, they have that un-
comfortable feeling. This is sometimes
due to unwise planning of the meal,

When cream is omitted from coffee,
the drink is not always popular; a
good substitute. then, for coffee is a
cup of boiling water in which a bouil-
Ion cube is dissolved. In the middle
of the morning or afternoon a tea
spoonful of beef extract, dissolved in
boiling water will satisfy hat desire
for food.
Canned fruits, with bran, for
breakfast. are not only appetizing but
are q. good start for the. day.
At noon. canned soups are nutri-
tious. stimulating and mountaineering.
For dinner, canned fish. spinach with
eggs, and a salad of mixed vegetables
are the foundation OF a good dinner,
