THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges-

and Useless One,


tiOn by Dieting Barbarous
and Useless One.
We say the old way, but really it is a
very common one at present time. and many
dyspeptics and physicians as well consider
the first step to take In attempting to cure
indigestion Is to diet, either by selecting
certain foods and rejecting others, or to
greatly dimish the qauntity usually taken,
In other words the starvation plan is by
many supposed to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the starya.
tiou cure for dyspepsia has been proven time
and again, but still, the moment Dyspepsia
makes its appearance q course OF dieting Is
at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is foolish
and uIscientific to recommend dieting or
starvation to "A man suffering from Dyspep-
sia, because Indigestion itself starves every
organ and every nerve and every fibre in
the body.
What the Dyspeptic wants is abundant

DRIVEN THERE BY HUNGER
Pretty Florence Skinner Seeks
Refuge in the Police Station.
She Has Tramped the City for Three
Days i'll a Vain search for
Honorable Work.

For three long days girl has tramped
the streets of Washington looking for
work For twentyfour hours pretty
lutte miss of sixteen has gone without food
while she hunted and hunted for employ
ment, going from shop To shop asking for
something TO do, any honest work that

her piuful story.
Last night she walked up To Policeman
w j. Kenney rs he was standing on the
Avenue and asked tinidly If she might
speak with him.
Il came here from Philadelphia three
days ago. she said, looking for employ
ment but no one will give me anything IL
do. Yesterday l lost my purse and today
i have had nothing To eat"
The big grey eyes filled with tears As
she spoke and her manner was so straight
forward and honest that the polccman'i
heart was touched. He took Miss skinner
at once to the Twelfth street station where
she WAS placed in charge Of the matron
and the biggest kind Of steaming hot
supper was at once ordered from rcstaur-

rived she was ~ hungry. and the ravcnols
manner in which she attacked the meal
touched even the Lolicc, wEo are accus-
toned 10 witness suffcrines of all dcscrip-

The girls story is the sad one of n
woman's struggle for honest employment
and an honest living. The girl has an cX-
tremely pretty face, a wealth of curling
black hair and great. wide open eyes
that look up trustingly at every body. She
was well-dresscd in a neat brown suit with
hal and gloves to match.
Miss skinner told j oliccman kcnncy that

upon her and all day yesterday she tramrcd
the streets with her heart like lead.
She became SO hungry that it was a
torture To pass ii confectioncr's shop and
see the dainty display in the windows. At
last she could stand it no longer and felt
she must do something 10 obtain food. Her
pretty face had been a hiudranCc instead
of an advantage at the places where she
had applied for work. Then she saw the
big policeman standing on the corner and
piucked up sufficient courage to address
him.

SPORTS IN GENERAL.

AL Johnson, the bacKer of Billy Peyton
the local nIddle-weight boxer, is anxious
TO arrange a match for his protege. He
says hewill back eyton againstany middle
weight in the District, Pat Raedy pre-
ferred.
Sam Boyle, the well-known football
player and oarSm8n of University of Penn
sylvania, was in town for few hours yes
terday. He captains the varsity crew.
and has Just completed the details of the
annual race with the eight of the Naval
Cadets, which will take place early hext
spring. He says the prospects for a strong
football team at Pennsy are very brisht.s
Mrs Rorer of ''cook book" fame, in a
recently delivered lecture in Philadelphia
attributes Harvard's defeat by Pennsy TO
poor training diet. She also took occasion
to condemn the general type of college
training tables, which she says is any
thing bnt conducive to the good digestion of
the athletes.
Continuing the subject Of training Diet,
it is said that Lehman, Harvard's Lew
English owing coach, has decidedly unique
ideas in this respect, according to American
views. He believes in allowing the men
the greatest indulgenccs, one of which is
smoking.
The first Ladies' Day at the Coluinoi
Athletic Club for the fail season has been
set Tor December IL. An attractive eth
letic program is beiNg arranged, and 1T
is believed that the occasion will be fully
up to similar events in the past.
Franz, the c.. A. c. jumper and pole
vaulter, expects to break the indoor pole
vaulting record of the District shortly. He
is equaling the record every night, and
not going his best at that.
Al. Smith, the New York sporting man,
says that Corbett and Fitzsimnions must
come together shortly. The entire SPORT
ing world is tired Of their endless talk,
and If a fight is not soon arranged, 10th
boxers will lose all prestige as eXponcnts
of the manly art.
The basketball game between the Junior
teams of Carroll Institute and the Wash
ington Athletic Club are arousing CON-
siderableinterest. The youngsters are very
clever, and the game they put up compares
very favorably with that OF the big teams.
