This Ideal Way
TO LOSE FAT
READ EVERY WORD

Make up your mind now that you'll lose
some of that ugly fat and really enjoy life.
No one can blame you if you don't want
to take harmful drugs, go on starvation
diets and do backbreaking exercise. No
sane woman would And for sensible
women like yourself who really want to
reduce yet don't expect miracles overnight
who are willing to faithfully follow Q
most simple, inexpensive and pleasant 20
day plan (women considerably overweight
naturally require longer periods), we sug-
gest this easy plan.
First of all go light on fatty foods and
sweets. Eat plentifully of lean meats,
fresh fruits and vegetables. And for
proper functioning be sure to take a half
teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in hot
water every morning. And let's get this
straight right now about Kruschen-
It Is not harmful. 1t Is NOT Just one
salt as some people may ignOrantIy believe.
Look on the box! You'll see 1t 10 a blend
Of 8 active mineral salts, which when dis.
solved in water is similar to the famous
medicinal waters Of European Spas where
wealthy fat people have gone for years.
A jar of Kruschen costs but few cents
and makes 5 gallons of marvellous mineral
health water. Get jar RIGHT AwAYl

Although most Mexicans are

raw or used as salads, such as let

by early applications of sodium
nitrate, as it induces rapid growth
which insures succulence. Copies

hours. The method of determining
fertile and infertile eggs is rela-
lively simple and may be done by
the average hatcheryman after a
few hours practice. All the equip
ment needed is an ordinary egg
candler with a rs watt bulb. The
embryos that can be seen at these
ages contain no blood, cover an
area on the yolk about the size of
a dime, and appear before the
Gambler as a small spot. This ef-
feet is caused by slight bulge of
the embrya on the surface of the

ling. In the infertile eggs no de-
velopment can be seen.
