To our friends we send this toast;
Obesity cannot be controlled en-
tirely by diet, although it is the
principal factor. It is customary
to reduce the amount of water
taken to not more than one
quart, the normal quantity being
two quarts, Including all drinks.
The foods to be especially avoid-
ed In obesity are: Sweets, pork,
veal, prepared dishes, potatoes.
White bread, oatmeal, hominy,
rice/fata, beets, carrots, turnips,
pafsnlps, cream, soups. Fish
and lean beef are the least ob-
. jectlonable of the meats. Stale
* graham is the best bread.
It is with a heart full of grati- ■
tude to our friends and customers
that we indite this expression of
our appreciation and of a wish for
a merry Christmas and a prospreous

Not over sanguine but hopeful
are we that the proposed visit of
the Tarrant county Commissioners
to the Denton county commissioners
te discuss the matter of .a good
road from Denton to the Tarr*nt
county line will be fruitful of re-
sults. A line of good road from the
county seat to the county line in
each cardinal direction would serve
a very large percentage of the
people of the county—more, we are
sure, than any other four roads
possible to build. Were they built.
It would take comparatively few
