NOTES.
The Newburyports defeated the Biddefords
Saturdays to g.
The Bfddefords disbanded Saturday night The
players paid the balance of their salaries due
and released The nine played together for the
last time at Newburyport. 1t is not known where
the men will go; The Brocktons want Halpin and
one other, but It is said that Halpin, Irwin and
Hartnett Will sign with the Portlands although
the opinion quite generally expressed is that it
would be better for the Portlands to be allowed to
fight it out as they are.
An exhibition game on the Fourth of July was
auyertlsed as league game. Last week Weidel
and Wheelock We're announced as the battery for
Saturdays game, and Blakeley and Hanna ap-
peared This sort of thing Will hurt the associa-
tl0n.
At Sanford Saturday the Sanfords defeated the
East Rochesters 15 to 8.
Ii ahy arrangement was made with the BeacOns
by which they were to leave the field before the
conclusion of Saturdays game, it was unwise to
say the least, and unfair to the people who had
paid their money to witness the game.
The Portlands play the Newburyports today,
and if the lovers Of the national game wish to see
the Portlands win this will be a good game to at
tend. The visiting club contains Fish Clark and
Phillips: The Portlands may be beaten, but it
doesn't look like it,

How to Cure Obesity.
From Science /

In the fourth congress of German ply 81
clans the first subject discusSel was corpu.
lency. EJs ten advancsi the opinion that
drlgs were OF little serv ce in reducing the
amount OF fat, and that an entire change
in the eglmen-including both changes of
diet and of the manner OF living-was
neceSS Sary.
ANY method which reiucsd the general
nutrition, and thus removed fat, was
fai ure: the fat alone must be removed.
The method must not require the inii-
vidual to give up his business during treat
ment, else il would not be generally ap.
pl C able The method must be capable of
being continued Indefn tely witaout pro-
ducing unple asant results, for individuals
prediSposed to corpu.ence by heredity or
constitution must keep up the diet for a
long time.
One method is to cu5 off all fatty foods
But as carbohydrates may be changed into
fat in the lody, this Is not reasonable. The
object is rather to prevent the formation
of fat in the BODY. To secure this it i,
neces 'ary to regulate the proportion of al
bum nous, starcly AMI fatty fools so that
per feet nutrition shall be secured, but no
excess Of fat produced. Tie recn sary
amount of rat for a nealthy man Is l43

If this ~ reiuc,d onah half part OF the
amount necessary for nutrition will be
taken from the body to compensate for the
reduced allowance in the fool, and thus
the excess Of lat NAV BE- removed. Under
this svsem the Individual does not suffer
the distress which Is felt by those who are
cut off from all fatty food and the results
are more successful AMI agreeable than
those of tha Bal ting system. The amount
of carbohydrates is to BE- reduced so that
no surplus above bodily needs shall be
taken.
In the Banting system the diet is chiefly
nitroganouL which often causes indi-
gestion. Ebsten gives heterogeneous food,
with the reduced allowance of starch
and fat in sutiic ent quantity to keep up
the general nutrition and working

To Eat An Orange.

The difficulty may be overcome in several
ways Cut the orange in two without
pairing, quarter-cut again, and eat from the
skin; another, cut in evsn halves and eat
from the golden cup with spoon: third,
pare (but do not skim the orange around as
you would an apple, leaving finger hold
at both ends, and eat from the cup; a
fourth, cut in quarters and sQueeze the
juice into spoon: another, and less dainty,
is to cut in halves and squeeze the juice
into a glass, drinking 1t therefrom. We
have seen an orange eaten with a knife and
fork. But the pleasantest way of all is to
prepare the fruit before sending it to the
table by removing the outside skin, dividing
in sections, and then with sharp knife
detaching the pulp from the indie lining
of each part, sprinking with sugar, and
placing on or near the ice for full half an
hour before using. In this way it become ;
