are small the pure Alimentive has small feet and
small hands. How many times you have noted with surprise that the two
hundred pound woman had tiny feet! The inconvenience of "getting around"
which you have noticed in her is due to the fact that while she has more
weight to carry she has smaller than average feet with which to do it.

The Pure Alimentive Head

A head comparatively small for the body is another characteristic of
the extreme Alimentive. The neck and lower part of the head are covered
with rolls of fat. This gives the head the effect of spreading outward
from the crown as it goes down to the neck, thus giving the neck a
short, disproportionately large appearance.

The Round-Faced Person

A "full-moon" face with double or triple chins gives this man his

Very few fat men have long noses. Nearly all fat men and women have not
only shorter, rounder noses but shorter upper lips, fuller mouths,
rounder eyes and more youthful expressions than other people--in short,

The entire physical makeup of this type is modeled upon the
circle--round hands with dimples where the knuckles are supposed to be;
round fingers, round feet, round waist, round limbs, sloping shoulders,
curving thighs, bulging calves, wrists and ankles.

person, that person is largely of the Alimentive type and will always
exhibit alimentive traits.

The Man of Few Movements

The Alimentive is a man of unhurried, undulating movements. The
difficulty in moving large bodies quickly necessitates a slowing down of
all his activities. These people are easeful in their actions, make as
few moves as possible and thereby lend an air of restfulness wherever
they go.

Because it is difficult to turn their heads, extremely fat people seldom
are aware of what goes on behind them.

The Fat Man's Walk

Very fat people waddle when they walk, though few of them realize it.
They can not watch themselves go by and no one else has the heart to
impart bad news to this pleasant person.

Spilling Over Chairs

The fat man spills over chairs and out of his clothes. Big arm chairs,
roomy divans and capacious automobiles are veritab
