THE NOT-SO-SLIM SHOULD TRY THIS DIET

Adipose tissue is found in various parts of tihe body, with much of it forming underneath the skin. Some persons tend to become fat more readily than others, and women are more prone to excess fat deposits than men. After middle life generally, there is greater ■ fat storage than before, espeeially in the abdominal connective tissue. Acid fruits are good for stout people, espeeially fresh fruit. Plenty of water should be talcen between megis so as to lielp eliminatlon, but water or any other liquid — tea, coffee, etc. — should not be indulged in freely during meals. Clear soups are better than thick ones for those who wish to stop excess deposits of adipose tissue. Fresh fish is permissable, except that whieh is very oily. Boiling is to be preferred. Such meat as beef, mutton, lamb, and chicken may be taken. Eggs may be used sparingly. As to vegetables, all those having leaves and stems — spinach, asparagus, cabbage, celery and lettuce — and other salads, are excellent, as they are filling but not espeeially nourishing. All sweets, desserts and pastries are to be cut to a minimum. Milk, beer, spirituous liquors, wines and champagnes are not good for the obese. With real thought, proper diet, exercise, and adequate elimination, you have the best combination for preventing excess fat.
