Having reduced my weight from 265
to 22O pounds during the year by living
at restaurants, perhaps a suggestion
may be of value to your fat readers. I
made it to Col. Geary and he reduced
his weight fifty-eight pounds in less
than six months, 1t was this: Pay no
attention to the doctors but eat all YOU
want and stop when you get through.
Throw physlc, anti-obesity pills and
pastry and buildings to the dogs
and eat because it is necessary to
eat instead of because you are
tempted to please the palate. Water
is as productive of fat as beer when taken
in moderate quantities but for those who
eat sparingly instead of gorging them.
selves, but little will be required to
drink. Another important thing is to
combine in the meal the things on which
the gastric juices work nearly equal.
The slush people often combine with
their meals as dessert sour on their stom-
achs and produce heartburn, a symp-
tom of indigestion, where they would
have no trouble if they eat only the
plain food.
Much of the depression supposed to be
sickness comes from o~vereating and
many a man is driven to suicide by over
work. There was a time in my life
when 1 thought I was one of the most
miserable among men and plunged into
work in order to forget my supposed
troubles. I tried to do and did do the
work of four or five men, sleeping but
little, and became so worn that every
time l saw a revolver I instinctively
reached for it with a view to self de-.
%struction. Poison was likewise tempt

a height from which I could be plunged
lest the temptation to throw myself over
should be too great to be overcome.
Fortunately I knew needed rest and
took it and the temptation disappeared.
Half or more of the unhappiness of the
world could be cured by rest and the
insanity which leads to suicide be en-
tirely prevented.
The lack Of closets was the cause of
bitter complaint the first day but none
need now complain. There are one
thousand free closets on the grounds and
at those where the charge is five cents
there are basins and towels for Washing,
a porter to attend you if you need SER
vice and lounges if you need rest.
There is now no kick on these features.
For ladies the greatest attractions are
found in the manufacturers building. 1t

earth. In laces and tapestry, in statu-
ary, in jewelry, in clothing and orna.

The working people, the artisans and
mechanics are most likely to enjoy the
Mechanics building and that devoted
to the liberal arts and sciences. Ma

building is full Of interest but there are
no greater attraction than are to be
found in the electrical display. The

thereof will be found in the Agricultural
and Horticultural buildings and man

building. The Art building is a con-
slant source of delight and in spite of
ones self they linger there for hours
and then turn to the Woman's building
with ever increasing interest as some
new feature is brought out by each new
visit.
