No Diet7
She doesn't diet. but for
breakfast she only has tea and
toast; for lunch. something light
like a salad or fruit and cheese;
for dinner-well, we went into
that. The point is. she gets so
few calories in the first two
meals that she can eat as she

without getting fat.
To wind this up: She does get
exercise She loves to ride horse

the snow is on the ground
the horses look very surprised"
but she likes to ride So that
doesn't count.
There are two morals to this
story: First, any one who is
just naturally slim follows by
inclination the type of program
you overweights have to plan
for. And second. exercise is apt
to be something you don't like
it will be easier TO take if you
settle on an activity you enjoy.

But being of a conscientious

PIPE JUMPS, TOO

The gasoline pipe jumped with
him and the stream caught the
robber in the face. Choking from
the fumes, clawing at his throat,
the bandit fought for air, dropping
his gun.
This was all the alert attendant
needed. He leaped for the gun,
covered both bandits. The tables
definitely had turned. The at
tcndant turned 10 Elmer.
