THE THIN PERSON
COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WELL

I which they enjoy and make their
condition quite evidently worse.
There r many thin people, how
ever, who are not healthily thin.
Such people should make a whole
hearted attempt to gain weight by
living as healthy a life as possible.
Thin people lose heat more readily
than stout people, rs they have a
larger percentage of active tissue
and expose more skin surface in
proportion to the body weight.
They require, therefore, an alum
dant supply of energy food. or fuel
foods, fats, starch and sugar. But
ter and olive oil are better than
other fats and less likely to disturb
the digestion. Sugar is a valuable
fuel food. but should not be taken
in concentrated form into an empty
stomach.

But when you hear a thin person
who is rarely sick. heave a sigh and
wish he were fat, don't waste any
pity on him. Although underweight

edity to the condition. Usually such
persons are in good bodily health.
To stuff themselves with food in
an attempt to gain weight is very
likely to destroy that good health

The question "Who is my neigh

evade a duty. He did not wish to be
neighborly.
Neighbors are the best things we
have except our religion and our
