How do you know what every
woman wants? That's funny. You
didn't even know what your wife
wanted. You didn't stay home long
enough to find out"
Il didn't have to. I read it in a
newspaper in Chicago, 1000 miles
from home"
Read what?"
About your getting a divorce, Of

vorce without giving me a chance to
defend myself. Doing it behind my
back"

my wife who got that divorce?" He
said these things aloud and people
looked at him. They looked at him in
alarm when he suddenly exploded:

Folks in the station were treated to
a spectacle. Tony rushed to the ticket
window and shouted: Gimme tick

slammed money on the counter.
"A ticket to where?" asked the clerk.
"Where?" beloved Tony. Reno,

indignant but formidable. Tony stared
at him and screamed: ITO hell with it!

relieved when Tony slammed out.

down near Reno, New. 1t was late,

Water Balance and Weight.


I have spoken before of the anna
teur oarsman or sculler, who, hav-
ing won the Diamond Sculls at Hen
ley some years previously, decided
to make another try for this coveted
trophy. Accordingly he arranged
with a boxing instructor to work
OUT every day for an hour at box
ing and gymnasium work. Despite
the fact that he took off three pounds
every day, he was the same weight
at the end of a month as when he
started.
He stopped his exercise believing
that with his added years it had be-
come impossible for him to lose any
of his accumulated fat.
What was the matter? Why did
he not lose weight?
His weight was kept up because
of the great amount OF water he
dranlz-one to two gallons every
day. Had he taken small amount
of water each time he felt thirsty
he would likely have lost almost half
a pound daily.
And sometimes when just the or
dinary amount of water, tea, cof-
fee or other liquids are taken daily
two to three quartS-there is lit
tie or no loss for days and some
times weeks. This is due to the fact
that each individual has what is
known as a water balance-the
amount of liquids in various organs
and tissues of the body, that appears
to be the right amount to keep them
in good condition-skin, blood, di-
gestive, joint, spinal and other
juices.
Thus we find at times an over
weight individual faithfully cut
down food for a week or even two
weeks and find the loss of weight
disappointingly small. Discouraged,
no further attempt at reducing is
made, because he or she feels ''juSt
meant to be fat"
Now, if our sculler and this other
individual who found no loss of
weight after all this work or cut
ting down on food, had continued for
another two or three weeks or a
month the reduction in weight would
have been very satisfactory. Once
water balance is established, the
weight may go off at the rate of one
or two pounds per day.
'It has been shown that under
carefully controlled conditions even
a normal individual would maintain
his body weight or even add to it
while he was being underfed,"
