speed, skill and endurance. The first
thought OF boxers. for instance. after
being weighed in. Is not food but wa
ter or other liquids. as the drying
out" process has left them terribly
thirsty.
And when we remember that every
pound Of fat tissue can and does often
hold over three pounds of water. we
can readily realize what II means 10
the weight of the body II too much
liquid is not used. as liquids feed wa
ter to the fat tissues of the body.
This is the reason TINT exercise Is
such a wonderful weight reducer. me
exercise heats up the body. first gets
rid of surplus waterfin the skin. then
draws up the surplus water In the tat,
and then heats and removes some OF
the fat Itself And the great point
about exercise Is that the water and
fat are gradually replaced by muscle
tissue. This muscle tissue not only
strengthens the individual and makes
him willing to take more exercise. hut
muscle tissue does not hold extra wa
ter as does fat tissue.
Already Water-Logged.
The thought then for oyerweishts Is
that while water is necessary 10 every
one, and most of us do not drink
enough of 1t, the overweight Is already
water-logged and does not need so
much water The overweight should
drink some water whenever he feels he
must, but n quarter to one-thrd OF the
usual amount Is all that should be
taken. Simply gargling the narched
throat may help between drinks
Another point that Is not remem.
bered by overweights Is that eating too
much salt will prevent loss Of weight.
as 1t has been found that grain OF
salt will hold seventy times It's weight

Use Small Quantities.
However In overWeights, anxious to
rid themselves Of water. salt must be

real hardship because overweights are

Now how are these oyerweishts who
