MANY and varied are the

nowadays. Surely, it would seem,
every woman who needs to lose
pounds of superfluous flesh can
do so by the method that appeals
to her as least irksome.
There is distinct danger, how
ever, in rushing into extreme
methods. The average woman.
who is at about normal weight or
only very few pounds heavier
than she should be, will, il she Is
wise, let well enough alone.
Before you undertake a strenu-
Gus reducing regime, consult
your physician. A method ex-

At all events, II you feel In

And If you find that your row

WANT TO REDUCE?
Here's Three Easy Methods for the
Woman Who Wants to Reduce and
Determines to Do So.

J. q greatly in vogue at present.
So. although I once recommended
it in 4 former article, I shall re-
peat in a few words. the sub
stance of what I then wrote. for
the benefit Of women who may
wish to try the plan.
The regime OF daily meals un.
der this plan Of reduction is las
follows:
Breakfast: black coffee or black
tea, dry toast, half an orange or
a slice Of fresh pineapple.
Lunch: two lamb chops and
pineapple for dessert.
Dinner: lamb chops and sliced
pineapple.
If this regime Is rigidly ad-
hered to the loss in weight should
be from one to three pounds
weekly. And this is as rapid re-
duction as can safely be az
tempted.
Now for the second method Of
reducing flesh, which is author
ized by world famous physicians.
-Four days Of the week eat any
thing you like. On the alternate
three days, limit your diet to to-
matoes, lettuce and eggs, prefer
ably boiled eggs. For a. beverr
age, either black coffee or black
tea is permissible. Dress the
lettuce and tomatoes with salt,
pepper. and lemon juice.
This plan has proved extremely
successful, in many cases actually
benefitting the general health.
The third method consists
merely in watching the diet and
eliminating all excess of fat
forming food. In the long run.
this method may prove the wisest
for 1t forms temperate habits Of
slow eating and outdoor exercise,
which can be kept up for a life
time, whereas extreme methods
are usually abandoned. sooner or
later, because OF their monotony
and difficulty.
There's wisdom in cultivating
a taste for foods that are deli
cious. wholesome. and non-fatten.
ing. Among these are oysterA,

meat, tomatoes, lettuce, aspara,
gus, spinach, carrots, cauliflower
string beans. onions, cabba
salads without oil, bran and giu-

Add to this diet exercise VIZ

and you have a regime that can
be. recommended for its health
and beauty value.

"A man eater is usually an old

watches for people to pass by.

drags them into the jungle. 1t
is strange thing, but such
tiger rarely attacks a man-even
if that man is unarmed. But just

within his view and he is in
action at once. You know, of
course, that once a tiger has

But alas, this is the supreme
example of the triumph of Opt
misr1 over common sense.
The only way to stop a baby

trips out of the straight and mar

all a wife can do is to give him
plenty of rope and pray that he'll
get so tangled up in it that he'll
come around begging her to put
him on a four-foot leash.
When a small boy comes home
with tummy-ache from eating

him some bitter medicine that he

husband comes home with an un-

headache, about all a woman can
do is to hand him the bromide

If all the effort and energy that
women have wasted in trying to
cure man of his weaknesses were

A man will cling to his pet folly
