TO GET BACK YOUR WAIST.
Wear Plenty of Flannel Around It an
Bounce or be Bounced About.


Within the last few years a new way
of reducing weight has become popu-
lar. This does not so much reduce q
mans total weight as it prevents the
increase of weight in the stomach,
which is what most men want most.
A man who is growing stout would
not care if the increased figure which
appears every time he steps on the
scales were to show that he had larger
arm and leg muscles, that his chest
had increased in size, and that he had
a bigger frame; but when he sees the
evidence before him that the more
pounds do not mean these things. but
an increase waist measure, he thinks
of methods to reduce his weight. The
thing is to take off the fat about the
waist. A simple way to do this is to
sweat. Sweating a man reduces his
weight. If the total sweating could
be taken from the stomach and the
loins, the weight of the stomach and
loins would be decreased, while the
plump shoulders and round arms and
legs would be retained. The simplest
way of sweating the stomach and the
loins is to wrap enough flannel
around them and then take some ex-
ercise. 1t is not necessary to take
violent exercise, though violent exer-
else will do it. With enough flannel
around the stomach a man can sweat
his stomach without sweating the rest
of his body.
A man can wear a flannel stomach
bandage without any one knowing it.
Perhaps the best is the kind that a
man has especially made for him
though it costs little more than the
others. He can buy eight or ten yards
of the best and most porous flannel,
and the man who makes his shirts will
make the bandage for him. He is
measured for it, and when it is done it
is shaped like an hour glass, though
the top circumference is smaller than
the hip circumference. 1t should
cover a man from his hips to the lower
part of his breast bone. Buttonholes
are made in one end ofsthe bandage,
and buttons set back few inches
from the other end The bandage
should not be tight, but easy fitting.
The bandage should be worn next
the skin. and over it a flannel shirt.
No undershirt is needed. A man can
wear this bandage on walk through
the streets to his business, or he can
walk around with it on in the Park.
1t works quicker if he rides horseback
with it on and bounces around in the
saddle; or he can put it. ON and 60 to
a gymnasium and bounce on a spring.
board. The. object is to take some
form of exercise which will move the
whole body and make the stomach
sweat. The flannel bandage absorbs
the sweat.
After the exercise it should be re-
moved, and cold bath should be
taken. After the bath it is good
thing to rub the stomach and ioins
with alcohol to prevent the pos
sibility of taking cold. The flannel
bandage works well. 1t decreases
the circumference of the waist. 1t
takes off the fat from the places where
fat man wants the fat to be taken off
most. To mention only one case, it
reduces mans waist one and one
half inches in a three days ride.

PRESIDENT HARRISON compliment
ed the abilities of Hon. w. r. Day of
Canton, last Friday, by appointing
him United States Judge for the
Northern District of Ohio. The choice
was made from list of talented aspi
rants, the President calling on the
Attorney General to select the most
desirable one of the candidates, and
he named w. r. Day for the Office.
Judge We,ker, the present incum
bent, will resign, June 1st, and. go on
theretired list, at which time Judge
Day will take the bench.
Judge Day was born and reared in
Ravenna, entering the practice of his
profession at comparatively early
period of life. He located in Canton
soon after his admission to the Bar,
and his success has been uniformly
brilliant from the first, and today he
is acknowledged to be one of the best
lawyers in northern Ohio. That he
will acceptably fill the position so long
occupied by the distinguished Judge
Welker, one only needs very slight
acquaintance of his legal abilities and
industry, to be assured of. The Press
heartily congratulates him, and en-
dorses fully the appointment as one o.
the very best that could have been
made.
The members of the Stark Co. Bal
are making arrangements to give 6
public banquet in his honor.
