Daily Bath For Fat and Lean.

An important proposition for both fat and lean, according to 8 writer in Good Housekeeping, is to bathe daily. Ladies troubled with obesity will lose weight, and thin ones will gain. No doubt this sounds like a paradox, but it is capable of rational and accurate explanation. A normal condition is neither fat nor lean. A body subjected to a regime of daily bathing will gain so much activity of the vital forces that an excessive for nation of tissue is prevented in the f1eshy woman. In the case of the lean one the general health will be improved, the nutrient functions quickened and the body vitalized, producing an elastic roundness very pleasing to the eye.

LICENSING "TRANslENTs."
The Supreme CSurt of Errors Declares II
 so hs Tr,,coo.,ltnelanal

The Supreme Court of Errors Declares It
 Co be UnconstItutiOnaI.
 The decision of the supreme court in the case of the state vs William Conlon, announced in the DEMOCRAT yesterday, is of more than ordinary interest. declaring as it does that the law which permits the officers of a municipality in this state to impose license upon "temporary or transient" dealers is unconstitutional. All the justices coneurred in the decision. the principal points of which are as follows:
 The court ''feels bound to hold dis tinctly that an act of the legislature. the only legal effect Of which IS to grant ex- elusive privileges in the conduct of an ordinary lawful business, in respect to which the government has no exclusive prerogative, is obnoxious to the first sec tion of the bill of rights and void"
 The act upon which the information against the defendant is based, so far as its provisions relate te the right to en- gage in any lawful temporary or transient business, cannot operat- so as to make en- gazing in such business a misd,meanor and therefore does not show any legal oifense.
 The court holds that the law in ques- ton ''is not a regulation of business dangerous to the public, and does not come within the special prime pies appli- cable to such regulations. The defend ant IS punished for selling boots and shoes in the conduct of a temporary and tran sient business. There is nothing in the nature of such business more dangerous to the public when called temporary than if called permanent There is no dIs- tinction as to public danger between a boot and shoe business conducted by a man for an indefinite time, aud the same business conducted for a short and indef- nite time. The statute draws no hne of distinction except between a business that is temporary and one that is not. One is no more dangerous to the pubic than the other; one Is no more essential to the con- duct of human affairs than the other; in- deed it would be imprac .icable to carry on the necessary transactions of life without temporary and transient business for the sale of goods, wares and merchandise" The court holds that the legislature has full power to regulate such business, but it's regulations must be governed by very different principles from those which may govern the regulations of a business in its nature dangerous to the public.
 The court finds mo escape from the conclusions that the legal effect of the net IS to authorize the local officers of each municipality to grant exclusive privileges to such persons as they please in the transaction of a lawful business essential to the conduct of human affairs, and in which each citizen has an equal right to engage for the support of lire"

 Says.

''Is there something wrong?"
 have noticed an item in the daily paper of January 18th. that 200 boys were present at the Boys club the night of Jsnu- ary II, and that class in Military instruc- ton will be started in the club Monday evening. On January 18th another item ap- peared in the daily papers as follows: "The East Gaylofd street evening school WIS closed week ago on account of small at- tendance, and it is doubtful if the Washing. ton street school building will be reopen-d This leaves evening schools only in the Bank street, Clay street. Bishop street and Ridge street buildings. The attendance here has diminished but not sufficiently to warrant the closing of the schools." If two items were baked it would furnish food enough for the parents of children, the board of education and the supporters of the Boys club to chew on for several months.
