Fat Is Not a Nice Word
When Applied to the Body
Don't say it's your thyroid while
reaching for the box of chocolates.
Possibly one bulgy person in 100 has
some glandular disturbance and that
is truly a case for a physician. Never
take any treatment for a gland con-
dition without your doctor's advice.
But for the other 99 per cent who
are trying to fight the "Battle of
the Bulges" common sense is the
watchword. It is not necessary to
overeat and it is not necessary to
go hungry, either. Furthermore, it
just doesn't make sense to go on a
Btrenuous diet—take off weight and
then quickly put it back on again
when the diet period is over. For it
is obvious that one cannot continue
a starvation diet over a protracted
period. Within the last year or so,
several diet and vitamin "plans"
have appeared on the market, which
means cut down on the food intake
and fortify with vitamins for
hunger distress. But as mentioned
%bove, you can't keep this up very
long and when you quit — back
comes the fat.
An exhaustive survey recently
made among Texas druggliti
showed one outstanding reducing
aid is not based on the diet and vita-
min "plan." It allows you to eat
plenty. You eat all you want but
you eat LESS. Sounds like double
talk, but it isn't. It definitely stop*
you from eating more than neces-
sary for the energy you spend. At
the same time, it dehydrates and
eliminates.
Nearly one and a half million
bottles of this preparation, called
Barcentrate has been sold in Texas
in the past four years.
You can get a four-ounce bottle of
Barcentrate from any Texas'drug-
gist. Mix with 12 ounces of canned
grapefruit juice and take just two
tablespoonsful twice a day.
If the very first bottle doesn't
show you the simple, easy way to
lose that ugly fat, the makers agree
to refund your money.

Meals Have Mora Variety When You Have Both
an Eleetrie Refrigerator and a Home Freezer
iiddy K'lswstt
#An electric home freezer makes it almost like
having a "super market" right in your own home,
And your electric refrigerator, a perfect compan-
ion to your freezer, takes care of protecting per-
ishables which don't reguire solid freezing.
You can freeze your own fruits, berries and veg-
etables for year 'round use. You can safely store
meats bought in guantity on bargain days. The
sportsman can enjoy his fish and game long after
his fishing or hunting trip is over.
Your electric refrigerator, of course, still plays a
most important role in protecting food too. Milk,
eggs, beverages and many other perishables
can't be frozen yet need constant temperatures be-
low fifty degrees, which your electric refrigerator
provides.
Plan now to have the best in food protection facil-
ities by using both an electric home freezer and
an electric refrigerator.
Visit your favorite store which sells electric appliances
and see the many models of modern E'.ECTRIC
REFRIGERATORS and ELECTRIC HOME FREEZERS.
