Senator Wo!cott, of Colorado,
one of the most prominent silver
advocate of the United States in an
address to the republicans of Col
orado who are known as earnest
silver men, says:
II hold my commission from

its members. including some of its
leaders, in the exercise of their
judgment have announced their in

was not as much our duty to vote
for Weaver four years ago as for
Bryan today. The Omaha plat
form declared for free coinage and
was no more Objectionable than the
Chicago platform and Bryan is

the average expenditure Of the

FOR TOO SLENDER WOMEN.

- OLUMNS of conflicting adyice have
been written from time to time for
tue benefit of women who wish TO
~ get thin, and as it is not enough
for the woman who desires TO put
on a little extra flesh to draw her conciu-
sious from the reverse side of the flesby
woman S instructions, she is coming in for Il
goodly share of counsel, tco, which is all
excellent in a way, but the regime of eX-
crcise and diet which is advised for perfect
development from the standard of too
much or too little flesh is usually an abb
sorbing process which leaves very little
time for other things, and the average
woman soon wcaries of it if she has the
courage to attempt it at all. The simple
recipe, Eat vegetables and plenty of butter;
drink milk, sweet wine and stout, take cod
liver oil, go TO bed early, sleep some
during each day, and laugh as much as
possible" will often help the thin wo-
man immensely. Cream may be substi-
tuted for the cod liver oil if preferred
