Things You Should Know

CONTROLLING YOUR WEIGHT 1
There are at least three ways to
acquire flesh: to eat tootnuch, Jo eli
minate too little, and to ride every
where fnstead of walking. 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. Neither will
belts, pads, or ’^supporters” out-cfo

the intake of absorbable foods is push
ed beyond all needs of the body.

THANKSGIVING
We have very good reasons to be thank
ful today. For the cordial welcome ex
tended us by the people of Clinton and sur
rounding territory since we opened here a
few weeks ago, we are profoundly grate
ful and express our appreciation at this
season. In the future, as in the past, we
shall strive to merit your confidence and
patronage by improving our service in
every way possible and by .saving you
money on your Grocery bill.

We wish to thank our Mends, one and
all, for their patronage and to wish for
you an enjoyable Thanksgiving Day.

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
