your duty TO yourself 10 AVOID this
evil.
But what about the person. partic-
ularly the woman, who has taken on
a lot ar surplus fat and has suffered
from overweight for yearS7 What
should she do?
The abdominal organs. notably the
stomach and intestines. and the pei
vic organs. particularly the uterus.
require certain supports. Nature
has provided this III the iiEaments
and other devices planned for the
very purpose OF holding them In
place.
If fat is deposited In the tissues In
large quantities the localized accn-
mutations 0f this substance serve as
additional supports I'D the organs.
Indeed. the fat may take from the
anatomical structure intended TO
carry the weight Of these organs a
large percentage Of their work. In
consequence. the liEaments and nat
EIal supporting devices may lose
tone and strength.
in "a case ~ this sort the rapid
withdrawal Of the accumulated fat

There can be no doubt that there are disadvan-

The appearance Of the victim, but because Of its
effects upon health, that we disapprove of sur

Many times I have reviewed the testimony OF
4 committee Of experts who studied the records
Of several large life insurance companies. These
men reached the conclusion that overweight was
a distinct menace to health. At the end of their
survey they stated, among other things, that a
man fifty years of age who is fifty pounds over
weight has lessened his expectation Of life by at
least so per cent.
