SECRETS OF

QUESTIONS: II am . woman

but my weight comes back. What
is the best diet for fat people
and how can I keep from getting

Another writes: ''I find dieting

Stunning hunger. How can this
be avoided?"
Answer. Hunger, it has been
proved, comes from unaccustomed
emptiness of the stomach. II =

ginning each meal by eating a
quarter of a head of lettuce or
lot of celery or some radishes,

The effect of carrying burden

son to applaud the stout woman

is the desire to wear ready'mad9

Through dieting alone the fat
man can lose his burden. Eixer.
else, electrical treatments, baths,
spas, pills and potions can at hest
only assist the process. A doctor
must he consulted before any sys-
tenn of dieting is adopted, for in
certain conditions 1t is most TN
wise to reduce weight. But, pro-
vided the general health is normal
and the doctor agre es that his
patient will he healthier, happier
and filter at lighter weight, then
that patient ought to be reduced.
A rapid reduction diet is one
which can cause a loss of more
than two or three pounds of
weight a week. Since fat is laid
down very slowly, it is obviously
unphySioiogical to remove it rapid

the fat subsidies. The deVotee of

door against which she had been
leaning, as if she had little interest
in the drama taking place, and
walked slowly toward David and
Sally, who were still in each others

indifference, and in its place were
embarrassment, wistful appeal,
tenderness and, to Sally's bewilder-

COOLIDGE AND
PERSHINC HELP
PEACE CAUSE
Anti-War Speeches Hailed
by Kellogg as Aid to
Treaties.
BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN


WASHINGTON, May 31.-Presi-
dent Cooiidge's Memorial day speech
at Gettysburg and General PERISH
ing's address at Thiaucourt, France
have immeasurably advanced the
cause of world peace and contrib
Ited to the success of the renuncia-
tlon-of-war treaty negotiations, +"
State Department officials said to-
day.
Secretary of State Kellogg was
represented as highly pleased" by
Pershings tribute to the proposed
anti-war pact. He feels, it was said,
that the speech shows the military
branch of the Government to be as
much interested in renouncing war
as is the State Department.
Hopes for Peace
In his speech at Gettysburg,
President Coolidge referred to the
manner in which the anti-war i@ea
has been Endorsed by public opin-
ion both here and abroad.
THE governments themselves" he
said, "have approached the matter
with an interest and a sympathy
which is most encouraging"
Continuing, the President de-
ciSred! "It is my earnest hope that
success, may crown the negotiations
now in progress and that the ideals
which have inspired the French
minister of foreign affairs and the
Secretary of State of the United
States in their joint efforts to find
a solution of the problem of peace
may find a practical realization in
the early making of a multi-lateral
treaty Uniting future resort to war"
DenOunces War
Addressing thousands of French
and American citizens gathered in
St. Mihiel cemetery at Thiaucourt
Pershing denounced the "falacious
theory that war is an essential
clement in the national policy of
a government.
"In order to make lasting peace
still more probable" he said, there
would appear to be no longer any
reason why the leading civilized
powers should not agree among
themselves to the general principle
of the elimination of war as an
avowed instrument of national pol
icy. Such an agreement would GER
tainly meet universal approval
among the peoples themselves. 1t
need not interfere with the neces-
stiles of reasonable ornaments or
the fulf1llment of consistent obliga
tons.
