reorganize her life. Skinny Sue
is too active. She doesn't stock up

She flies around so fast that fat

nights she should get nine hours
of slumber, not one minute less. III
is during sleep that body repairs
go on. Loss of sleep is responsible
for many beauty griefs besides
emaciation. 1t is senseless not TO
get proper rest.
Skinny Sue eats food that
doesn't stick to her ribs. She lives
on green salads that supply little
real nourishment, and she is a
champion pickle eater. All acid
and highly seasoned foods should
be deleted from the daily menu;
they are a tax on the digestive or

Skinny should be good girl, eat
a maintenance breakfast-fruit,
hot cereal with plenty of cream
and sugar, a beverage, a soft
boiled egg or two slices of bacon.

idea, as her first meal usually
consists of clear coffee and Moth

Neither side made an appeal
to the electorate on any issue
facing the. American people.
Mr.. Roosevelt's contention
was simply that he could win
the war and make a peace
which did not at all prove that
the election Of, his opponent
would mean defeat in the war
or an inability to make peace.
Mr.. Deweys principal con-
tention was that IL was time for
a change because Mr. Roosevelt
is old and tired and his regime
quarrelsome.
The assumptionA in this argu-

was in poor heal tn, would die

Mr.. Roosevelt dssproved his
physical incapacity .by a visible
