Quotes from the journal

I forgot about the quotes and tidbits of information at the bottom of the pages in the journal:

Quotes:
Hungry flies bite sore
Love of gain turns wise men into fools
There is no humiliation in humility
Home is home though it never be some homely
He that desires honor is not worthy of honor
Honest men fear neither the light nor the dark
A happy couple: the husband deaf, the wife blind

Helpful Hints:
1. Reducing Weight (1) - Excess weight is not only unattractive, nut dangerous.  Fat can affect the heart action, make respiration difficult and place too great a strain on the muscles and bone structure.

2. Reducing Weight (2) - Glandular trouble is the cause of excess weight, but with a normal person the cause is usually due to too many calories and insufficient exercise.

3. Reducing Weight (3) - Normal people generally require from 2,400 to 3,000 calories a day for body maintenance.  When this supply is cut down, the body fat is used to make up the difference.

4.Reducing Weight (4) - Weight reduction should be limited to not more that two pounds a week.  A faster rate is weakening, and means a lowered resistance to illness.

5. Reducing Weight (5) - Too rapid reduction also does not permit the skin to contract gradually with the supporting flesh, and wrinkles are the result.  A slow reduction allows the skin to keep pace and avoids "bagginess".
