bring colds unless the system is forth

ARE PAT PEOPLE HrALrnY9

Why are fat people always omplainiug
asks some one who entertains the popular
though erroneous notion that health is
synonymous with fat. Fat people complain
because they are diseased. Obesity is an
abnormal condition of the system, in which
the saccharlne and oleaginous elements of
the food are assimilate3 to the partial
exclusion OF the muscle forming and brain
producing elements. In proof of this, it
is only necessary to assert the we'll known
fact that excessively fat people are never
strong, and seldom distinguished for men
tai power or activity. Besides, they are
theeasy pray of acute and epidemic diseases,
and they are the frequent victims of gout,
heart disease, and apoplexy. Allan's
Auti-Fat is the only known remedy for
this disease. 1t contains no acid, is absol-
utely harmless, and is warrented TO RENE
dy the most confirmed case of obesity, or
corpulency

ILLTN0TS.

CHICAGO, Dec l9.-The railroad con-
vention to-day unanimously adopted the
report agreed on last night by the Joint
committee. This report provides that
Chicago roads leading east shall pool their
business on the same plan as the roads out
Ut Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Peoria and St.
Louis; that the arrangements shall! 90 int O
effect Immediately; that rates shall be re-
stored to the basis of the tariff of Nov. 25,
namely, Sc cents per 100 pounds on grain,
anG 40 cents on fourth class freight to New
York; that all rates from all points be re-
stored at once; that none of the roads here
represented shall hereafter be parties to
any contract or agreement or allow rebates
below the agreed tariff, and that all exist
Ing contracts shall be reported within a
week to the chairman of the joint Cum
mlttee. The appointment of freight was
made as follows: To Chicago roads and
Michigan Central, ,32 per cent; Lake Shore
u Michigan Southern 81; Pittsburg & Ft.
,Wapne, 26, Baltimore & Ohio, 10; Pitts
burg, Cincinnati L ST. Louis, Z. These
hgures aggregate per cent. too much but
none of the roads seemed willing to make
reduction and the matter will be aribtrat-
ed. Meantime the pool is on this account
practically in operation for the present un-
til further action is taken, and rail rates
will be two cents less than all rail rates.
A greater portion of the day was spent
IN fruitless attempt to select arbitrators
to apportion the business. This will prob
ably be done to morrow and the convention
WILL IN tact, as its now nominally adjourned.
The Peoria lines held a meeting and de-
cided to submit to the joint committee for
their various differences as to
apportionment, etc.. The joint committee
appointed subcommittee to examine and
report on this subject at future meeting
of the full committee.
