| am very much overweight and
would like to have you give me a
good reducing diet. l am Is years
old and am otherwise healthy, but
would like to lose about so pounds.
Inclosed find self-addressed envelope
for immediate reply.-A. L. II.
First analyze your diet; find out
what foods you are eating which
make you fat. The foods high in
food value are starches, cream sauces,
fats, pastries, pies, cakes, cream
dressings, mayonnaise, gravies, sweets
and, of course, candies and ice cream
and soda fountain treats.
It's not going to be a bit easy.
especially if the others of your crowd
already possess the fashionable sill
houette. Only by persistence, patience
and good judgment and common
sense can you reach your ideal weight.
No one should reduce too rapidly, cer-
tainly not more than two pounds for
the first week and one pound for each
week thereafter. l am rather inclined
be better, for you are yet rapidly and
actively growing and cannot afford to
take any risks.
You need food for both growth and
$500 to 2,40o misunderstanding
upon your physical condition and
structure and the kind of work you
do. Estima ting for each single piece
of fruit 100 calories, and for the
average medium sized serving 100
calories, you can very roughly esti-
mate the amount you are eating daily.
Two ways you may lose fat: Eat
your requirement and exercise every
day very much more or reduce your
strenuously; or you may do little OF
both.
When you are hungry eat the foods
low in food <value--lettuce, but no
mayonnaise; fruits, leafy vegetables,
skim milk. sour lemonades and but
termilk. Drink but little liquids with
your meals, but drink freely between
meals and before breakfast. Keep
your bowels open and your kidneys
active.

My Neighbor Says:


To clean spinach thoroughly
and keep it fresh, first put it
into boiling water and then
into cold water. This will
remove all dirt and sand.
Try adding tablespoonful of
sugar to soap when you make
1t. 1t will make it 1ather well.
Do not throw away the leaves
of the celery. Make cream of
celery soup of them, or dry
them, keep in covered jar and
use for f1avoring.
When making boiled starch,
add about two heaping spoon
fuls Of kerosene. Your clothes
will be glossy. and starch won't
stick to the iron. The heat of
the iron takes all trace of the
kerosene away.
If you add -four to your blue
berry pies, shake in a little salt
with the -four. 1t will improve
the flavor, as blueberries are
naturally fiat in taste.
Leftover beef, roast or other
wise, may be served in a
