WHEN YOU EAT LESS YOU
 WANT LESS,

He who has mind to eat a great deal must eat but little. said Louis Cornaro in his discourse on a sober and Temperate Life. And Carnaro explains that eating l little makes man live long, and | living long the man must eat a great deal.
 Now I'll tell one that is not so easy to explain to the dumb lay man, but l can explain it if you're | the physiological basis of 1t you will have an effective guard a. gainst growing fat, or If you are already bit overweight you will have the secret of reducing.
 The more refined of prepared carbohydrate food one eats the more one craves. The less of such manipulated carbohydrate food one east the less one wants. This does not apply to carbohydrates as they occur in nature. In the formr in which they grow all sugars and starches are intimately associated with organic mineral salts and vitamins. When the body gets these along with the sugar or search, hunger is satis- fled. with considerably less carbo- hydrate material than most mal- nourished individuals habtually desire and consume.
 reckon l ought to know. I've just reduced twenty pounds in six weeks in this way, and l found that when I got the proper a. mounts of the mineral elements and vitamins l no longer craved the excessive quantities of pure carbohydrates on which I had in- sidiously gained the supertiuous weight. My personal experience coincides with that of hundreds of patients of my medical colleagues who have successfully reduced overweight by the application of this concept.
 Where the overweight is not more than 10 per cent in excess Of the normal. it is ideal .from every point of view to reduce only a pound or two week, and I believe this can be accomplished in most instances by the simple practice of taking one or two daily rations of pure food con. centrate containing the proper minerals and vitamins. Where ii is desirable to reduce from three to six pounds week it is neces- sary to impose certain simple re- strictions of diet in addition to the daily rations of vitamins and min. erals, but these restrictions pres ently become voluntary, that is the patients craving for the items indicated recedes toward the nor mai when the body gets the acs~ cessory factors which have been deficient in the diet. Briefly the items restricted are white bread potatoes (except baked potato skins) and white flour porducts and sugar.
 Any fresh fruit in season should be preferred to any pie, pudding. cake or sweetened dessert. '
 For breakfast the chief item should be fresh raw fruit always.
 For lunch the main item should be a salad, and preferably, at least while one is reducing, no salad dressing, or a dressing made with mineral oil in place of olive oil or other food oil.
 Tea or coffee without cream or milk or sugar, whenever desired. If it seems just terrible to take coffee without sugar, as it did to me at first, use one-fourth of grain of saccharin in lieu of sugar in your coffee. Or less saccharin Il less is enough for your taste. Presently you will find you can enjoy the coffee. oh, fairly well at any rate. sans cream or sweet. If you could see or Doc Brady shoveling sugar into his coffee when he was living high and fair ly bouncing about, you'd know | must mean precisely what I'm tell ing you. I4'
