FOR THE MIDDLE-AGED
You get to thinking about what
you OUGHT to weigh — I know
you do, for I do it myself.
Well, figure your height in in
ches—you men of five feet ten.
You are seventy inches high. Add
100 to the number of incues for
the weight, 170, if you are midd.e
age or past. This rule does not ap
ply to young adults and children.
Remember, each individual has
his peculiarities, which he can by
no means escape. It is as “natural”
for some men and women to be
spare, as it is for others to be a
little stout. I had a most refined,
intelligent lady of forty-five, who
had worked herself almost into a
frenzy—because she held a weight
of 145 steadily. Her figure was
perfect; yet she was continually
in anticipation of “obesity!”'
The big boy of fifty, with the
ponderous “bay-window,” must lay
the blame to himself alone. He ac
quired the deformity by overeating
and lack of exercise. It will take
him a long time to correct the ef
fects of his truancy, if he ever does
of his sins — to get out of that
swivel-chair — get out of doors at
every opportunity — and STOP
EATING TOO MUCH.
There’s the rub, however. He still
lingers with the luscious viands
with the heavy sweetening. Well,
if you’d rather have that) belly,
keep on as you’ve been doing,—
I’m no traffic cop, to stop you for
travelling on the wrong side of the
road! Don’t forget though, that the
prevention of an evil is many times
safer than a belated attempt at
cure; be surei your (dietic) sins
will track you down.
