PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
By William Brady, M. d.
Noted Physician and A,ahor.
Fletcherism for Fat Folks.

Horace Fletcher weighed, as much
asif17 polhds at one time, and he was
sixty-seven inches tall. In 1898 he
weighed EOS pounds in summer cloth

had been reduced from forty-three to
thirty-seven inches. He was then
'forty-nine years old. He wrote that

he had finished fair days work,

He chose to eat whatever appealed to

Fletcher urges the slipping of all
beverages that have any taste--every-
thing except water. He drank very
freely Of water, but not when any
food was in the mouth. He liked his
cafe au lait thoroughly sweetened,
and he slipped 1t with much enjoy

all desire for other sweets. He did

column the story of the woman who
was really very homely but who gave
every one the impression that she
was beautiful because she surrounded
herself with beautiful objects and
made her person. her clothes and her

rich, in fact, she was rather poor
She wasn't particularly intelligent

Like Mrs. y, every woman wants to
seem beautiful. Mrs. X felt that she
was somewhat colorless, having drab
color hair and small light eyes, SO
she introduced color into her home.
she had walls done in pale yellow to
make a sunny background and
against their plainness she put CHEEKY
and distinctive looking cretonnes.
Where furniture was hopelessly
heavy, cumbersome and ugly, she
used bright-toned enamels. She her
self had an awkward, ungainly fig
pr6 and felt that she had a somber
personality. She did not want to en-
phasize this by living with dull back
grounds and heavy furniture.
AS she could not spend money buy

there is limit even to the possibili-

Committees representing substan-
tally all Of the bank creditors and
merchandise creditors (who hold
about 1870 of the Company's total
indebtedness) have been engaged in
formulating plan whereby the
Company's Indebtedness will be VOL
UNFAIRLY readjusted without inter-
ference with the continuation and
development of its business. 1t is
highly desirable that the noteholders
cooperate with these other creditors
in the formulation and carrying out
of such a plan in order that if pos
sible the expense and loss of busi-
ness incident to a reorganization
through court proceedings be
avoided.
In order that the noteholders may
take concerted action to this end, the
undersigned Committee has been
formed to represent them. Note
holders are invited to deposit their
notes on or before February Is,
1922, with Guaranty Trust Com
pany of New York, No. 40 Broad

under deposit agreement which is
now in course of preparation. Copies
of this agreement, under which the
Committee will act, will be avail
able for distribution at the Office of
the Depositary in the near future.
The members of the Committee
have agreed to serve without COM
pensation. The deposit agreement
will provide that the maximum ex-

any depositor will not exceed one
per cent. of the principal amount OF
his notes.
The deposited notes in transfer
able form must be accompanied by
the coupon payable February l, 1922,
and by all subsequent coupons, as
we'll as by ownership certificates in
accordance with the Federal Income
Tax Law. Against such deposits
the Depositary will issue it's trans
ferable certificates OF deposit.
The Committee has made arrange
ments whereby the February /, 1922,
coupon on notes deposited on or
before February IS, 1922. will be
acquired by the Committee r.pre-
senting bank creditors and held for
such disposition under the plan or
otherwise as shall be equitable.
This arrangement assures to note
holders who deposit their notes on
or before February IS, 1922, the
immediate receipt of the $40 repre-
sented by the February I coupon.
From informal discussions already
had with the Committee represent
ing bank creditors and merchandise
creditors it seems highly probable
that plan fair to all the creditors
and very much to their interest can
be carried out promptly if the notes
are deposited at once. Noteholders
are therefore urged to deposit their
notes Immediately.

 Daddie said he was going to teach me that I must remember, always, to give my mother li.t1e gift on my birthday to let her Enow that I appre- ciate all that she has done to make such a wonderful child. think that it is a very nice idea ana I shall al- ways adhere to it.
 However. it was not about birth days and pleasant things like that that am going to tell you today. It is about a mistake I made, and how I suffered for it. I fin6 that there seems to be attached to everything do a little consequences, sometimes pleasant and sometimes unpleasant. eat regularly and I grow. I sleep regularly and I grow. I love my fam fly and I am happy and I make them happy I contracted the bad habit of sucking my thumb and ! had to have my arms in splints for over a week, night and day just to break me of it.
 Well. about my mistake and it's con- sequences. The night of my birth day, instead of waking up about 2 o'clock as I usually do for a little nu- triment, I slept the whole night through and did not wake until about 6 in the morning, when T am in the of having my breakfast. I think that I was a good example of that suggest ion and auto-suggestion we are hear ing so much about nowadays. There had been so much talk about what a lovely big boy I was for my two months of age, that I must have been impressed in my subconscicus that ] was too old to have to be nursed in the night! At any rate, whatevee it was, the fact remains that s1ret through the night without waking. That's where I made my big mis- take.

NEW YORK'S NEW FEDERAL BANK ID
 BE TREMENDOUS

New York, Sept. 2.-Though the new building of New York's Federal Reserve Bank, largest in the world from standpoint of resources. volume staff, will not be completed until the latter part of 1923. it will be on view in process of construction to several thousand bankers from every section of the country who will assemble in New York, October to next, for the 18th annual convention of the American Bankers Association-men whose interests are closely interwov- en with the Federal Reserve system
 On May 31 of this year. the corner stone of the big structure, which will face on Nassau street on the west. Liberty street on the south and Maid en lane on the north, was laid. and on that date also the steel work had been carried up and rough concrete floors laid for ten stories on the Mas sau street side In view of the rapid progress that has been made in the construction since building operations were begun a few months ago, it is felt that enough will have been done by October to give convention dele gates an idea of what the buildings sibe and beauty of design will be. Every effort will be made to organize site for the purpose of familiarizing the out-of-town visitors with the To- cation Of the new bank and to allow them to inspect the work that has been done.
 A particular feature that the direc- tors expect will be well advanced be- fore the bankers convention. will be the new vault, which will be the 1arg- est and most modern in the world. Rough floors, walls and part of the ceiling of the huge enclosure are a1- ready in place. The foundation was the largest undertaking of it's kind cavation going down 90 feet below street level.

FACE CREAMS.

tAOE OtStLAnS.
 There are very few compIexions that are not greatly benefited by ap- plication of good creams. In the big cities, or manufacturing districts, the air is filled with sooty particles that settle upon the skin. CBElinary cleans ing with soap and water will not re- move this soil where a cream will as 1t can be worked into the pores dis lodging these particles. There are virtues in the use of cream for a massage-since the oils nourish, keep ing the skin youthful and elastic that mean less tendency td form lines
 As people advance in years the oils in the body are being absorbed, which is the reason for so many skins shriveIing. Such people should use cold cream liberally. It is the thin nervous, energetic woman who is apt to age in this way unless she feeds both her skin and her body gener- ously Her cream should be made from the best vegetable oils, since they are both nourishing and cleans ing. Of course there is no Eharm in using the cleansing cream for its own purpose, but it has very little in it for nourishm ent.
 The stout woman does not need the same amount of cream as the thin one but she cannot neglect the cleans ing process. During the hot season the cleansing cream is all that she
