HOW TO REDUCE FLESH.

Never Mix Food, but Partake of One Dish
at Meal.
A Paris letter tells of very simple
way of reducing flesh. Thanks to this
means, a colonel who was threatened
to be obliged to retire from the army,
as he was so heavy that it required two
men to lift him into the saddle, became
thin in few weeks, and to such an ex-
tent that he had to take means to re-
cover, in a measure, what he had lost
It was to his doctor he was indebt-
ed for becoming a general. The means
consisted simply in never eating more
than one dish at each meal, no matter
what that dish may be, and a
person may consume as much
as the stomach can bear, and
satisfy the appetite without the
least reserve Nevertheless, nothin e
but the one dish should be taken; no
condiments or soups or supplementary
desserts should be allowed. This sys-
tenn was recommended to a lady who
was slightly obese, and who put it into
practice with the best results. The
lady observed that she suffered no in
convenience whatever from this diet,
and the result obtained by the medical
officer may be well understood. as she
found by her own experience that the
partaking of one dish, whether it be
meat. fish or vegetables, brought on
sense of safety much sooner than if
she had partaken of a variety of dishes,
whence the effect of relative abstinence

of this state from Lake Erie to the end

MYSTERIOUS METHODS.
Calico Charley's Way of Screwing Down
Expenses.


Expenses.
The reports that Secretary Foster
has been holding back payments on all
the regular appropriations, in order to
scrape together enough money to
redeem the Al per cent. bonds, are
fully borne out by the statement of the
receipts and expenditures of the
treasury for August. The receipts
show a marked falling off, being S2S,-
SS4, S51, compared with the $50, 6O7, 449
of August, 1890, and the even higher
figures for July and June of last year.
Yet, by screwing down the expenses
to $50, 73S O2O, Mr.. Foster gets a COM
Portable balance to apply to redemp
ton of bonds. But how was this
balance obtained? The figures tell
their own story. Nearly ST, 900, 900 are
knocked off the customary payments
under the head of Civil and Miscel-
laneous," at least S1,OOO,OOO more off
the appropriations for war" good
slice taken out of the money voted the
Indians. and-tell it not to the makers
of republican platforms-from eight
to ten millions from that sacred
fund which pays for pensions" Think
of a beggarly s., O94, 1913 paid out for
pensions in August! What becomes of
republican generosity" to the old
soldier. in view of such whiting
down from the good hearty present of
S13,O0O,00 in July, S1s, 900, 900 in Au-
gust of last year, and $4,000, 900 last
November. Secretary Foster will have
to do better than this, or the republic
an campaigners will find their argu-
ments running low. His monthly
statements have degenerated into a
mystifcation, but the record of the
actual operations of the treasury shows
how matters really stand 1t proves
that the receipts have fallen behind ex-
penses since the Mckinley bill went
into force. The balance on the wrong
side was about 5000, 900 to the end of
July, and would have been six or seven
millions higher in August alone, if the
average monthly payments had not
been held up. When we get the Sep
TENDER showing, with the outlay for
bond redemption added in, we shall
doubtless have new proof that time
was all that was needed to show the
supernatural wisdom of the Mckinley
bill.-N. y. Post.

REPUBLICAN HUMBUGGERY.
Suppression of Truths the Money
Question.


Question.
Since the adoption of their national
platform in 1850 there has been no more
brazen attempt to humbug the people
than was made by the New York re-
publicans Wednesday. Since the pass
age of the silver law of July IA, 1890,
there may have been ground for ex-
cusing citizens ignorant of its terms.
But the discussion thereon has of late
been so extended and thorough that
ignorance may no longer be pleaded.
New York republicans assert in the
sixth plank of their platforms: THE
act of July IA. 1890 provides for the
purchase of silver product and the is
suing of the new treasury note, pro-
tected by reserve of one hundred
cents worth of silver for every dollar
issued. The statement is unqualified
ly false. There is no such provision in
the act, and there was not a prominent
politician in the convention at Roches-
ter who was not aware of the fact. But
the platform was framed in accordance
with the hint contained in Senator
Sherman'S speech. 1t is intended to
cover the fact that in many states re-
publican conventions have pronounced
in favor of free coinage of silver. BY
such a plank New York republicans
seek to hold allies who have been es-
pecially favorable to the political am
biton of Ohio's successful financier.
The simple facts of the case are so
plain that republican organs have
small excuse for not presenting them
to their readers. But it happens not
to be convenient to let the plain people
have too much truth just now. Light
shed on republican tactics might dis
gust too many honest citizens with
political organization they have ad-
hered to because of its older record.
The purchases of silver made under
the authority of the law of 1890 are
paid for in treasury notes issued for
that purpose, and being by the same
law redeemable at the discretion of
the secretary of the treasury in either
''gold or silver dollars" There is no
possible chance for a difference of
opinion on this subject. 1t has been
conceded by republicans in and out of
congress, and by statesmen in and out
of the silver ring. The notes thus is
sued are nothing more or less than a
silver certificate, calling not for one
hundred cents worth of silver, but for
a silver dollar. Any pretense to the
contrary is made for the purpose of de-
ceit. But the republican organs will
no more dare print for the edification
of their readers the text of the law thus
misinterpreted than they will tell the
truth as to the discussion of the Nc
Kinley bill by the worlds fair commits
sioners.-Chicago Times.
