Should Love Be Bliad9

HERE'S an amazing letter

1t won't surprise other wives
but it will undoubtedly hand
large jolts to all the husbands
who read IL.
Il have been married eight

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DE-. g. al. IL. Reed

y
nUEsTIoN 81 am i man;
VI weight, 2l0; am five feet eight
inches high. and lead sedentary
life. How can I safely and
quickly reduce my weight7''
Answer Read my article Of yes
terday in connection with this
one. Az between the two YOU
ought to find relief.
A method of rapid reduction Of
bulk, advised by Christie, is by
repeated short fasts. This should
be undertaken only under the eye
OF q physician The patient has
q dose or caIonel or blue pill at
night. a Seidlitz powder next
morning and thereafter no solid
food for three days. BY alternate
fasting and dieting the body ac-
quires an increasing power Of
breaking down fat without caus-
ing disturbances like headache
and giddiness. So each fast can
be a little longer than the one
before. Alternatively the patient
may take only one short fast and
then gradually return TO normal
diet. Little fat is lost in three
days, but the rest given to the
digestive organs promotes a sense
of welI-being which many stout
people have not experienced fol
years.
Semi-staryation diets last three
weeks and are best taken during
the summer, when a loss Of $40
pounds may be anticipated. The
patient takes the juice OF three
oranges and lemon on waking,
and for breakfast a cup of tea,
or three slices of thin brown
bread.
For lunch he has three baked
potatoes, with a pat of butter and
salt, and one big glass of cold
fresh milk. Tea is a drink with
out food, and dinner is repeti-
ton of lunch. This particular diet
is called the milk and potato"
diet and Is supposed to be better
than others because 1T contains
plenty Of vitamins.
For strong sound people who are
in a hurry TO get thin, these
methods may be adopted, but they
should be done under medical SUI
pervision. Much safer and wiser
are the slow methods,
These aim at loss of one or
two pounds a week, and the diet
ing goes on until IS pounds have
been lost and then a months in
terval is allowed. The diet gives
quite enough to eat il it is thor
oughly masticated and its effects
are likely to be permanent. 1t con-
tains a fun ration of proteins, Wit
amins, mineral salts. roughage and
water, but fats and carbohydrates
are reduced a thousand calories or
more. Instead of cream. butter,
oil, cheese, animal fats, egg yolk,
fIoury things, etc, the holes and
corners of an empty stomach are
filled with fresh fruits, clear soups,
etc. 1t is a great mistake for
every one to take ready-made
diet but skeleton example is as
follows: A tumblerful of hot water
on rising Grapefruit, sugarless
tea or coffee, with milk, one egg,
q grilled kidney or fish, one thin
slice of toast and scrape of hut
ter for breakfast. Water bouillon
or lemonade without sugar at IL.

provides subsidies for electrical

farmers take turns using power,
