Reverse orocedures if you would lose flesh. Eat less and exercise more, if your adipose threatens. " Fat people usually drink too much fluids at meals. Fluids ALL aid ab sorption. There are millions of ab sorbing glands in the intestine, and they are constantly at work, unless we may imagine the Lymph-channels so full that they will hold no more. Fat people absorb too much—more than they can dispose of properly. Since dry food absorbs more slowly and sparingly, your stout lady should drink no fluid at mealtime nor soon after. Note that I say LIQUIDS. All dilutents must be excluded, tea, milk, coffee, and other prepared beverages are as harmful at meals as water. Excesses of sugars and starches should be avoided as well, also white bread. The six o’clock dinner is the foe of long life. Avoid it. Indolent habits disposes one to fatness. OVERFLESH is sluggish, inactive, weakened tissues. Fat women have toiled, rolling on the floor, endhring hard sweats, submitting to maulings of “massage”—all the while pouring down fluids with meals, artd eating six-course, six-o'clock dinners, taking “anti-fat” sure things, and wondering why on earth they remain fat! Here I may emphasize that drugs do not remove the CAUSE.

We wish to thank our Mends, one and all, for their patronage and to wish for you an enjoyable Thanksgiving Day. ■ jUi®, difficulties we encounter, and the disappointments which befall us that we lose sight of the things which, If received and used In the right way. enrich and ennoble our lives. One need not make a very diligent search In order to discover a vast number of things in this favored land of ours which call for thanksgiving. Nor does It require much further investigation to make clear that the ills which af flict ns most deeply are due, not to any failure of divine beneflcqnce, but to our own sins and follies. And what is true In this regard of the nation is true also in' large measure of each Individual. Our only unbearable troubles are those which we bring upon ourselves through our disregard of the laws of God. So long as we remain in vital union with Him, the real values of life are still left us. whatever sorrows may overtake us. The occasion which bids us^ recall our mercies may also be an occasion of repentance. For it not Infrequently serves to remind us of blessings squan dered and opportunities neglected. It is well to express in words our appre ciation of the good gifts that come down from the Father of light, bat such expression becomes mere mock ery If we use these gifts unWorthlly. It will be well, therefore, If we make Thanksgiving day a time of heart searching. Are we as Individuals, as a people, seeking to render service to our fellows that is proportionate to our advantages and opportunities? Or are we dishonoring the God whom we praise with our lips by living In Phar isaic self-comphn-ency and selfish dis regard of the needs of our less fortu note brothers and sisters? Rightly obferved. Thanksgiving day might mark the beginning of a revival that would revitalize the church and purify our national life. — Sunday School Magazine. >.
