 REDUCING

Many people who are oter-workcd, according to their story, are far more often the victims Of worry over their physical condition.
 Bodily poisons from bad teeth, in- fected tonsils and gastro-intestinal trouble may be 10 blame. Then the fat worry comes and one kind or an- other of heart trouble appears. Ii is a simple matter to remedy this rat worry and improve your general health by the primary adoption Of a sensible, satisfying diet with the amount Of exercise which your special type may require.
 IT one can reduce the fat burden by getting rid of useless tissue, which loads up the carrying muscles with undue strain, interfcres with normal respiration and drives the heart to greatly increased labor, the solution would be worth any effort.
 You do not have to be OH the dot in this weight business. If is no dis advantage to br 10 pounds over the average for your class and age, from 2f to 40. After this period a 11- pound deficiency in weight is more 10 your advantage than otherwise.
 The non-fattening diet is life process. Never attempt any sudden reduction in weight. Rapid attempts frequently cause great nervous de- pression with bad effects on both the heart and the nervous system.
 Before giving you q full dietary program, wish to say that if you will carefully follow it's prescribed amount in the reduction Of energy food and take tho proper exercise, no power or earth can avert your reduce tion in weight.
 Tho simple dietary program will foi- low this article.

But little Mrs. Birds own trusted em- ploye. He would not fail to keep an appointment with me unless something of the utmost important had intervened.
 Conscious that l would attract at tention if continued my parade up and down. l walked into the wide entrance of the department store, made a hurried trip down ono aisle and np another and emerged again into the sheltered space just outside the doors where l flattened myself against the wall and waited won dering what it were best to do.

There must be some other reason, neither so tragic as an accident nor so important as q fail urc to find parking space for l had oh- served a number Of vacant places along the curb.

 l scored myself irritably for not having foresecn some such contro- temps. l could have given the man directions to come 10 the 'irty-ninth street corner where l had told Alfred Dnrkee to meet me. But he had no other instructions than to wait for me along this street and l did not wish to leave tine vicinity without finding out where he had gone.
 Luckily Alfred understood that he was to wait for me indefinitely on Fifty-ninth street But a glance at my wrist watch told me that time. 1 the most necessary of all commodi- !. ties to mo at this junction, was gal- l loping along with hcadlong rapidity. | With a feeling that would be i hanged no matter which way l de- i sol>ing 10 take tho first taxi over to | Fifty-ninth street. and come back to | hunt ID my own driver. after | ! should hasr seen Alfred.
