A Word to the CorpuIent.

Instead OF regarding obesity as an abnormal
condition, many people have enormously con-
sidered it as an evidence of health, and any
agent that reduces fat is therefore at once sus-
pected of being injurious. Starting to reason
from the false position that fat is an evidence
of health, it is not surprising that they should,
very naturally, fall into the error of supposing
that an agent possessing properties capable OF
reducing corpulency would prove injurious to
the health. Reasoning, however, from the
rational basis that an undue deposition of fat,
constituting obesity, is not healthy but a
morbid condition, it is quite as natural for us
to arrive at the opposite conclusion, which is
sustained by experience and observation, 1. e.,
that the reduction of fat in cases of corpulency
is invariably followed by an Improvement OF
strength, spirits and physical comforts. Allan's

1t is astonishing with what rapidity ulcerous
sores and eruptive maladies are cured by
Henry's Carbolc Salve, an external antidote
to unhealthy conditions Of the skin, which is
preferred by physicians to every other prepara-
ton containing the carbolic element. 1t is
undoubtedly the finest antiseptc and purifier
.extant. 1t acts like charm on purulent erup-
tons, and has also been successfully used for
rheumatism and sore throat. All druggists

Minneapolis "Re0arding the Stoup Citv
Road as Ono of Her O,cn Instft,att0ns.s
minneapolis Tribune, last EVENING"
DUB HAND TO PRESIDENT DRAKE,
On Saturday We gave statement Of the
situation as between the Minneapolis & St.
Louis and the st. Paul & Sioux City with
reference to the proposition to run the trains
of the latter road over the track of the for
NOR from Merriam junction into this CITY.
The hostile feeling existing between the two
roads being likely to prevent such an
arrangement, the Sioux City is negotiating
with the Milwaukee & St. Paul road for
the privilege of using the latter's
track FROM Mendoza to Mime
apolis, with terminal facilities here. Since
the article was written we have consulted to
some extent with the business men of Min
neapolis, and We are convinced that it would
satisfy our people. as whole, just as we'll to
have the Sioux City trains come in from
Mendoza az from Merriam Junction. Mime
apolis, as President Drake assures us, would
then be placed on precise equality with st.
Paul in reference to freights, passengers and
running time, and this is all
that could be accomplished by
coming in over the track of the Minne-
apolis q st. Louis. It is possible that some
Of the stockholders of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis would prefer an arrangement with
their road; but President Washburn expresses
the opinion that it would be better for his
road and for Minneapolis to have the Sioux
City make the arrangement with the Mil
waukee st. Paul company. It would give
Minneapolis equal facilities, and would leave
his road free to cut loose from the Sioux
City road at Merriam junction and strike
out on an independent policy that could be
made highly beneficial to his road and to
our city. OF course, go long as
the Sioux City trains do not come
to Minneapolis, President Wash
burn is willing to continue the present ar
engagements with that road for the conveni-
ence of our shippers and people,, But if the
latter could be accommodated Just as we'll
some other way, then he would be glad to be
relieved of it and left more independent.
It is sincerely to be hoped that President
Drake will come to an understanding with
the Milwaukee 4 st. Paul folks, and that ere
long Minneapolis may be enabled to take
just pride in regarding the Sioux City road
