MacMillan— This contains true information of the Arctic regions presented in an attractive story. “Little Pilgrim to Penn's Woods,” by Edna Albert—A lively account of the life of a little maid who traveled to the New World many years before the Revolution. “The Adventures of Andris.” by Elizabeth Jacobi—Andris and his sister.

How to Lose Fat a Pound a Day on a Full Stomach

Do Just These Two Simple Things Fat Melts Away Science has made important discoveries in fat reduction. The average fat person can now rip off fat a, pound a day—four to seven pounds every week!—on a full stomach, with never a hungry moment. Thus it is foolish now to stay fat. This is what you do: Take a teaspoonful ordinary Jad Salts in a glass of water a half hour before breakfast every morning. This reluces moisture-weight instantly. Also cleanses the system of the waste matter and excess toxins that most fat people have, and banishes puffiness and bloat. Then do this about eating. FILL YOUR STOMACH—eat your fill—of lean meats, vegetables like spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., and lots of salads. Eat a lot. Eat all you can hold. Don’t go hungry a minute! Cut down on butter, sweets and desserts, bread. Eat any fruit except bananas, for dessert. That’s all you do. Fat seems to melt away. The coarse lineß of overweight give way to the refined ones of slenderness. You lose as much as a pound a day. You feel better than for years. For In this treatment you achieve two important results. The Tad Salts clear your system of toxins.

*The diet takes off fat with food that turns into energy instead of weight. If you’re tired of being embarrassed by fat, try this way. You’ll be glad that you did. You can get Jad Salts at any drug store. * Note particularly the salts are urged purely as a poison-banishing agent—not as a reducing. The change in food does the work.—Advertisement.
