How MANY Meals?

IT SEEMS to be a question with
many women who want to re-
duce as to the number Of meals
they should take every day. ! should
say that they can take any number
they choose il they do not eat more
than a certain amount Of food every
day. The value OF the lcaloric sys-
TEN is that a woman can determine
exactly how much nourishment she
can take each day.
II, for instance, you have found
that in order 70 reduce you should
eat only 1900 calories, you may. II
you wish. divide this into six meals
Of 200 each, or one big meal in
which you eat up your entire allow

begin the morning with an orange
and a cup Of black coffee (orange
juice regulates the system and coffee
stimulates the nerves.. This meal
has a caloric value Of only 100
An excellent luncheon would con-
sist Of boiled Of poached eggs, a
large quantity Of lettuce with salt
and vinegar dressing, a slice Of
bread and hot tea without cream
or sugar This uses up only 200 to
800 calories and permits you to have
a thoroughly satisfying dinner. II
at any time during the day you be-
come uncomfortable from lack OF
the accustomed large meal. a wine
glass full Of sassafras tea NAV be
taken or a little bicarbonate Of soda
in a glass OF hot water. The soda

more than two or three days at q

For the cynic who is allowed TO
