OOA0NAAb
American women are rapidly be-
coming of the tat type because
of their extraordinary consump-
ton of sugar and starches which
are the great fat makers ON the
food list. Only q few years ago
the consumption Of sugar in the
United States was something like
twenty pounds per year per per-
son. At present each American
citizen consumes on the average
Of more than ninety pounds OF
sugar every year.
II you wish to do away with
fat you must at least correspond
ingly reduce the cause. Take less
srarches and sugars. but keep up
a well-balanced diet.
A reduced diet often causes un-
comfortable hunger until the habit
of eating too much has been over
come.
Avoid the distressing hunger OF
the reduced diet by filling the
stomach with mountaineering ar
ticles of food, especially of let
tuce. the very first thing at all
three of the regular meals of the
day. Then eat anything you de-
sire in normal proportion. You,
Of course. will not wish for as
much as you have heretofore been
eating.
The local accumulation should
be dealt with by elimination and
absorption. The elimination is pro-
NOTED by free action OF the skin
which is stimulated by heat. air,
and especially by hot vapor.
The absorption is promoted by
discreet massage Of the fat areas
followed by a wet pack which
should be cold at the time it is

only one road, but it was pure

looked like a strip Of ribbon that

Bobby.

"I'd like to see what the little

We can see the coral in the

that we could see right down

Who Occupies q Unique Position
In the Writing World as nm Au-
th0rity on Problems Of Love
and Marriage.
~ oNTARY to DEGREES Of ro-
nance. love doesn't always
~ know its own at first
sight. Often it steals gradually
into the heart. And sometimes
it's not easy to know whether g
is love or just friendship that
brings the glow Of happiness
On the other hand, much that
calls itself "love at first sight"
is not love, but only a cheap and
fleeing counterfeit.
No wonder Alice and Mary,
Elizabeth and Ruth, find them
selves puzzled and a little anx-
ious. For. they're all hoping for a
marriage that shall not only be-
gin happily, but steadily progress
in peace, security and joy.
When the man who interests
you ask you to marry him, It's
good plan to ponder well before
replying. Nothin's lost and much
may be gained in later happiness.
