Psychology a Definite Part Of Any Reducing Program

Mrs. Putnam's experience and
example in this respect is worth
much more than her recommended
ton. She is reported to have dieted
for two months and reduced from
1877 to 1852 pounds. In that period
she lost:
91a inches from her waist
~ inches from her hips
Az inches from her upper legs
IL inches from her calves
3 inches from her upper arms.
SO it can be done. And it isn't
such a hardship, as the daily re-
ducing diets to follow, will show.
Todav's diet follows.

nothing can be done about it. A
young lady says she comes by her
fat honestly because her mother
is fat, and she resigns herself to
her predicament.
OF course, there is such a thing
as constitution and some people
naturally take to fat and some
lean ones can't get any meat on
their bones. But to give way to
these tendencies is to come by
ones weight doubly honestly, be-
cause all fat people come by it
honestly in the n that they eat
too much. Nina Wilcox Putnam
Is quoted in a recent press dis
