Ludington's Experiment Fat peo-
pie Need Not Be Discouraged.
From the Milwaukee News, June 81.

From the Milwaukee News, June 81.
Many of the friends of Mr.. James
Ludington, the wealthy capitalist o.
this city, are aware that he has beer
dieting for some time for the purpose
of diminishing the amount of adiposc
matter which he had carried about
with him for number of years. Mr.
L. never was what would be called an
obese man; he is about 5 feet 8 inches
in height, we'll put up, and his weight
was 2ls pounds. After fifty days ex-
pertinent, being weighed almost every
day, he has reduced his weight to 193
pounds, the reduction amounting to 25
pounds. At our request, Mr.. Luding-
ton has furnished us statement OF
the diet used by him.
MR. LUDINGToN's STATEMENT.
have practiced the "Banting" sys-
tenn of living for the past fifty days,
and the result is rs pounds decrease
in weight, or an average loss of half-a
pound daily. During that time my
health has constantly improved. /
weighed April II, 21S pounds, and to-
day my weight is 1913 pounds.
The regimen is simple, plain, and
harmless, and requires but little self
denial, as follows:
For Breakfast-Any kind of poultry
or meat, except pork; dry toast or
cold bread (say three slices); tea or
coffee without milk or sugar; any
kind of fruit; no potatoes; no butter.
For Dinner-Any kind ofmeat ex-
cept pork; any kind Of vegetable, ex-
cept potatoes; no pastry; fruits al
lowed.
For Supper-Similar to breakfast.
No liquor, wines, or beer allowed,
except Rhine wines or clarets.
With a steady purpose, patience,
and perseverance, much can be accom-
plisbed, and your weight grow "beau-
tifully less" with very little inconveni-
ence, and but little self denial. Try
the remedy.
Respectfully, a."
Mr.. Ludington also informs us that
he was never hungry except at meal
times; that he had no thirst to be
quenched by long rotations; that his
appetite at meal time was always
good; his head was clear and his mind
composed, and he has slept well
throughout the term of the expert
ment.
Throughout the experiment Mr.. L.
has smoked the allowance of cigars
three or four day-to which he has
been accustomed for years, so that
his experiment did not include the eff
fects of the use or disuse of tobacco.
He still follows his diet, and he thinks
he will get down to 1872 pounds. He
is going to Colorado this week, and
his friends will await with interest his
report on his return.

MY CREED.
BIT ALICE CARY.

hold that Christian grace abounds
When charity is seen; that whea
We climb to Heaven, tits on the rounds
OF love to men.
hold all else, named piety,
selfish scheme, a vain pretensa
Where center is not-can there be
circumference
THIS moreover hold, and dare
Affirm where'er my rhyme may go;
whatever thinrs be sweet or fair,
Love makes them so.
Whether it be the lullabies
That charm to rest the nursing bird,
Or that sweet confidence of signs
And bushes, made without word.
IT Is not the wide phylactery.
Nor stubborn fast, nor stated prayers,
That makes us saints; we judge the tree
BY what 1t bears.
And when man can't live apart
From works on theologic trust,
know the blood about his heart
Is dry as dust.

If people would only keep a little of
the suavity which they waste on stran,

charming life would be! When among

grumpy and grum to those who are the

and to drop our good breeding for the
time. This is all wrong n certain
pleasant freedom from restraint makes
home happier: but carelessness and cross
ness, and a lazy Indulgence in uutidy
ways, will break the charm entirely, and
make home a place to eat and sleep in,
