SLIM IN SAFETY.
I I 'heard the other day of a friend of mine who had been trying intensive ! slimming. She was rather stout, and had taken, up, of all things, skipping I to rid herself of a few pounds of fat. She lost the fat all right, but she spent a week in bed afterwards. The doctor had some fancy name for it, i but it was just a plain case of taking jtoo much out of herself. , l Stout people must not go in for these' drastic methods of losing weight. It stands to reason that what is good for a boxer in training is not suitable for a woman who is not used to sh'ch violent exercise. If you knock off food and try to get along on lemon juice and dry toast the only result of the ensuing loss of weight will be sagging muscles, and your health will he affected. Try in addition to your normal diet a glass of lemon jujee morning and night—one lemon to a tumbler of water. The effect will he gradual, but, if you out out excessive eating, it will be steady and will not affect your health. 'Remember that stout folk can and do look dignified when care is choice in dress is exercised, and that a reasonable stoutness is infinitely preferable to a fashionable figure, a spell in bed, and a doctor’s bill. But above all things remember never to try violent melhods of slimming without first consulting your doctor. It pays in the end. —Scottish papen
