A farmer in West Virginia was
annoyed by squirrels raiding his
corn field. SO he. covered the fence
through and over which they re-
treated to the woods, with tar.
This he did in the evening, and in
the morning when he went to the
field he saw long line of squirrels
running along the fence toward the
woods. They succeeded in clear
ing the fence, bat, when they struck
the woods, the leaves and sticks
stuck to their feet so badly that
they could not climb the trees nor
run very far even on the ground.
The first capture amounted to
twenty-seven squirrels. and within
a week he had killed and captured
over one hundred by his unique
device.

WATER IS FATTENING.

A rather corpulent friend of ours
remarked, this weak, land his
weight is only 1919 ponnds.) that
he would give 500 if he could re-
duce his weight 10 pounds. We
publish the following, for the bene-
fit of him and ali others who are
likewise afflicted:
1T has been observed that water
is fattening; that those who drink
large quantities of water have a
tendency to fullness and rotundity.
That excessive imbibations of very
(iced) water Especially when one
is very warm) is not to be com
mended. Yet we have reason to
believe that the unlimited use of
pure spring water, Mt its natural
temperature, is not only very con-
ducive to health, but has an actual
tendency to favor ful!ness and
roundness of body. Whether this
is the result of a better action on
the part Of the digestive assimila-
tive and depIrative functions, ow-
ing to the internal cleanliness or
flushing Of the sewers produced by
large quantities of water, or whetll-
er it has some specific action in pro-
ducilg this fullness, we do not
know, neither does it signify. since
observation confirms the fact that
the free use of watar does have this
effect"
It will be seen by the above that
Ill that is necessary, to reduce your
weight, is to drink less water and
mole coffee and tea.
