ERWIN'S SURPRISE
He Attempt to Trap Blixt Into
an Admission Regarding
Green Goods Deals.
BIGGEST LIE BLIxT EVER HEARD
Continuation of the Cross Ex-
animation Develops Moth
ing of Importance.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 8.-The first wit
ness i'm the Hayward murder trial was
Hans Barlow. Hans had been present
in the basement of the Ozark flats when
Blixt cut the r rail for Harry Hayward.
He was put on by the state to corrobo-
rate Blixt's story of that transaction,
and did SO without contradicting Blixt
in any important detail. He had helped
Blixt cnt the rail In two, and he heard
Harry Hayward scold Blixt for cutting
il instead of simply bending ii. On cross
examination an admission was drawn
from him that he had served term in
the workhouse.
Erwin Springs Sensation.
CLAWS Blixt was again put ON the stand
and Mr.. Erwin after long questioning
as to details of his story, sprung a SEN
sation. He asked him If he had not on
Nov. . gone to the Arnold hotel ON Cen
tral avenue with two other men and
cented some rooms.
That's the biggest lie ever heard" !"
exclaimed Blixt.
MIR. Erwin questioned him closely,
but Blixt professed entire ignorance
about the alleged occurrence The hotel
register was introduced i'm evidence and
Erwin asked Blixt if the signature Of
"Arne w, Teller, Wally City" wasn't
written by him. Blixt denied utterly
that he had ever even seen the register.
These questions point to theory of
the defense that the murder was the
work of . gang Of green goods men,
and that Hayward had nothing to do
with ill.,

CORRECT PROPORTIONS.
Fatness and Leanness-How TO Obtain ant
Retain q Desirable Weight.

FatDesa and Ieanness-How to Obtain and
Retain q Desirable Weight.
Women who are correctly proportion
ed and neither too fat nor too lean are
few in number. In order to give some
idea Of the correct proportions Of the fea-
lures and the body, the following is here
appended from Good Housekeeping:
The head should be one-seventh Of the
body. The nose. forehead and chin Of
equal length The distance between the
eyes, the length Of the eye. The distance
from thu inner angle Of the eye TO the
dividing line Of the lips shonld measure
from AZ to az inches.
A woman Of feet should weigh no
pounds; feet 1 inch, 115; feet 2
inches, 120; feet inches, 1877; 8 feet
4 inches, 1874; feet 8 inches, 142; 5
feet 8 inches, 146; 8 feet inches, 152;
feet inches, 100.
It seems the tendency Of women in
middle life to grow stout When such
a condition exists, the appearance of too
much flesh can, to q certain extent, be
overcome by the arrangement Of the
clothing. The underwear should consist
Of a union suit Of silk, balbriggan or
wool, one skirt, made with q yoke fit
ting smoothly over the lower part Of the
corset and buttoned to it The corset
should also be provided with hook In
the front and back to prevent the dress
skirt from becoming disarranged. Flat
corset strings should be used, and not
too tightly laced. If the abdomen is
prominent, have the corset made to or
der with this defect In view.
Fleshy women should avoid every
thing in the way Of liquors, especially
beer, starchy cereals, like cornmeal,
hominy, rye, oatmeal and brown bread;
also avoid too much seasoning in the
way Of salt, pepper or sauces. These
create an unnatural thirst, and water
enters largely into the composition of
fat Meats can be eaten freely as they,
enter into muscle, not fat. Fleshy peo-
pie should exercise vigorously every day
and not be given to too many hours
sleep They should also sleep on hard
beds Pampering the body in habits Of
luxury predisposes one to embonpoint.
Some women are constitutionally in
clined to thinness In such a condition
the right kind of food is one of the req
uisites toward change. Tea and coffee
should be abstained from, and cream or
rich milk substituted. Eggs, fish, Gel
cry, fruits, the cereals and vegetables
should be the diet, with glass of wa
ter containing the juice of an orange
and plenty of sugar, to be drank imme-
diately upon rising. Cultivate a cheer
full state of mind, take plenty of sleep.
and lie down a great deal in the day
time No posture is so favorable for
gaining flesh. Above all, dom t worry.
