re marked oi the number of stout people he saw here this food for thought as it raises the question of whether we as a people are guilty of over eating i say guilty intentionally for overeating in the sense that it endangers health and leads to ineffi ciency is really a crime as far as actual disease is concerned there are certain diseases that luw long been known to be associated with stoutness or overweight the actual danger comes from the deposition of fat around and in the vital organs of the body which may cause interference with the action of the heart kidneys and blood vessels diseases of these organs are a common association of overweight and it may be that over weight does prove an important factor in their cause or instance diabetes is a disease which is constantly asso ciated with overweight what is the cause of overweight it appears to be mainly duo to the taking of more food than the body needs and the consequent storing up of the surplus in the form of fat overweight may occur at any age but it is most likely to appear after the age of thirty as people grow older uhey tend to take less and less exer cise while at the same time the am ount of food eaten does not decrease and sometimes actually increases this is especially true with regard to work- ers in the cities whose habits of life i are as a rule more sedentary than jthose of the country less and less i of the food they take is consumed by i actual work and more is stored in the form of fat overweight may occur in two or three ways first there may be a hereditary tendency to this con dition as is often seen where father and son are both stout second it may occur as the result of some disease oftentimes unrecognized such as affections of certain glands third j through lending a sedentary life in which overeating and underexcrcising are two of its characteristics the fact i that a person has hereditary tenden- l cics to stoutness is no reason why the condition should be allowed to con- tinue it can be overcome by a system of dieting and exercise the fact is i the province of ontario savings office safety is satisfying deposit your savings regularly with the province of ontario

pembroke seaforth 8t catharine st marys walkerjon woodatock that many stout people could reduce if they only practiced selfcontrol but they do not put forth any effort to do so in fact they eat too much food altogether and in addition take foods rich in fat that only aggravate the condition if overweight is due to disease the trouble could easily be detected through physical examination by a physician in this case the pa tient would most likely be put on a strict diet eliminating as far as pos sible the foodstuffs rich in fatforming material a fortunate feature of this import ant problem of reducing overweight is that the condition can be controlled even when stoutness is present for some considerable time as for a per iod of years it can be reduced with nafety the solution of the problem is simple nnd consists merely in re versing the order of life that has brought bout the unnecessary in crease in weight some stout people who neglect to reduce their weight do so from a mistaken idea they think that controlling their diet means re ducing the amount taken to almost the point of starvation or at least keeping them perpetually hungry they argue that life is short and that it is not worth while denying oneself the simple daily pleasures one of which is included under the heading of a good appetite the general plan for weight reduction is to ar range the menu in an attractive way which will at once provide sufficient food to satisfy hunger and at the same time contain a reduced number of calories or heat units diets can be arranged for each individual by his physician but in the main the plan is to restrict starches and sugars and fatty meats and make the chief source of diet fruits and leafy vege tables large in bulk which satisfy hunger but at the same time contain a diminished supply of fatforming material any physician will arrange a diet giving the food calories re quired and the kind of foodstuffs that should bo taken and should he left out of the daily menu daily exercise should also be indulged in but the na ture of the exercise should be arrang ed after a physical examination is made to see if the heart and other organs are in good condition to sum up therefore reduce thoi nmount taken of the fatforming i foods such as butter cream fatty por tions of cream salad oil and nuts also the amount of starchy foods such as bread and pastry as well as candy and sugars only eat three times a day and never between meals if candy must be taken oat it at the end of a meal as dessert the foods that are not rich in fat consist in general of the bulky vegetables fruits lean meat nnd fish without fat do not depend on drugs for weight reduction most of the drugs used are harmful and poisonous it is an uncontrolled truth that no
