oU took a a good drink of water Now ow while the last part of this statement is true Im I'm going to modify the first part of ot It relative to the point that the they are not good goodlor for lor reducing Some late work done on metabolism we can call It the chemistry of the bod body shows that In n heating baths there is a speedIng speedIng speeding speed- speed Ing up of ot metabolism and this ex extends extends extends ex- ex tends somewhat over ovet the period of ot the bath While the metabolism according to the scientific tests o of many who are ae overweight is fountIn found fount In most instances to be normal I believe this little speeding up willbe will wll willbe be of some slight help in making more food lood go on to complete instead of ot being converted to fat lat There is Another nother reason why hv I belive belive be- be live U Turkish baths baths' once or twice a week ma may be helpful In reducing A large majority of ot women who go to toh th the h baths go for

by following Dr Dt Peters Peter's teachings And I reduced fifty pounds the same way the adviser added Well Ill I'll have to confess I didn't tr try ery very hard the complaining one admitted I like cake and candy too much I guess Never telling whom hom I am of or course course I sometimes give a little talk on how simple counting cal calories l' l es is Is and always 8 bring in Ir that Dr Peters
