NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FATS ONLY QUESTION OF
EATING PROPER FOOD.

Thin people who want to get fat should
eat proper food and digest it.
That is the only natural way
The trouble with most thin people Is
that they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They don't
get enough nourishment They are slowly
being starved They ale poisoned by the
products of fermented and putrid food.

your stomach just like the digestive juices,
and turns it into healthful nourishment. 1t

thin dispeptics fat 1t makes poisonous

whom it had been elected to dethrone
from the national committee and whose
defeat was promptly executed almost
as soon as Chicago was reached. The
man who apparently is responsible for
Mains's acquiescence and assistance In
Sewall's nomination, is Seth q. Gordon,
the gold chairman of the delegation and
the man who himself succeeded Sewall
on the national committee. DR.. Gordon
says that he did it as matter of state
pride, though il is difficult to soc how
this is figured out, as state pride did not
prevent the ousting of Sewall from the
national committee. DR.. Gordon says
that but five NOM bers of the delegation
were present when the ballot for Vice
silver men, would have voted for Sewall
anyway. He consulted with his colleague
II. B. Winslow, candidate for governor,
and then addressing the chair, said In
effect. That only portion of the Maine
delegation was present and that ma
jority of the delegation was for gold and
opposed to the views of Sewall, but as
matter Of state pride he would cast the
entire vote of the delegation as a pure
ly complimentary vote for Mi Sewall.

SARGENT, THE ARTIST.
One of the Most Prominent Figures In the
Modern Art World.

One of the Most Prominent Figures In the
Modern Art World.
The high reputation of John Singer Sar-
gent makes him one Of the most prominent
figures in the modern world cs art No
American artist has occupied such an ex-
allied position as he has attained before
reaching his fortieth year; none is moro
celebrated in Paris, London and the other
art centers of Europe. He has painted some
of his best portraits in the United States,
and "La Carmencita," the picture which
represents him in the famous Luxembourg
gallery in Paris, was painted in New York
and first publicly shown at the exhibition
of the Society of American Artists. His
career has been cosmopolitan one, and his
youth was passed among surroundings very
different from those that effect the intel
lectual bent Of most American boys who
become painters and sculptors
He was born in Florence, Italy, in 1856,
whittier his parents had gone to live some
years before His father was Dr. Fitz
Hugh Sargent, Boston physician, and his
mother, whose maiden name was Newbold,
and who belonged to well known family
of Philadelphia, possessed the accomplish
ment of painting very cleyerly in water
colors Educated partly in Italy and partly
in Germany young Sargent entered the
Academy of Fine Arts at Florence at a
comparatively early age and before he was
10 had spent several years mart study. He
learned to paint in water colors as we'll as
to draw with the pencil or charcoal, and
one summer, when he was in the Tyrol
with his mother, Frederick Leighton, not
yet peer and president of the Royal acad-
envy, but famous English artist notwith-
standing, meeting them, commended tho
boy S work and counseled him to continue.
The serious and earnest side of Sargent's
character always impressed his fellow stu
dents in those Latin Quarter days. He had
no taste for dissipation though he was by
no means puritanical The lighter side Of
his temperament found satisfaction in
music, the theater and literature and in
the keen appreciation of everything in the
tastes and amusements of the day that had
new or original flavor. Though an eager
reader, he was not bookman, but an OBJ
server. Alert is the adjective which per-
haps best expresses the quality of his pre-
dominating characteristic. He was quick
to see and ready to absorb everything that
struck him as novel" Sargent and His

Capt. Sherman and Il. Goldthwaite. L.
B. Deazie also opposed it, but did not
get q chance to sign it, 1t was sent
away, butsbefore it could be delivered the
mischief had been done and the deposed
committeeman from Maine was the nomi-
nee for Vice-P President.
These gentlemen are mad clear
| through. AS one of them expressed him
self: ''This action on the part OF Maine
exerted a tremendous influence toward
nominating Sewall. The convention did
not understand DR.. Grdon's SO called
complimentary vote at all, Maine had
been almost silent in tho Presidential
roll; standing for honest money with
other northern states; and now she sud
denly comes forward and casts solid
vote, for the first time in the convention
and casts 1t for the deposed member of
the national committee, a man for
months totally i'll bad odor with his
party in his own state. The convention
knew nothing of Sewalls dethronement.
What did they naturally conclude? Why,
that here was an ideal son, man for
whom gold and silver men could both
vote, he WAS from Maine; he would de-
stroy the cry of sectionalism; Maine was
solid for him. Here was an ideal candi-
date. Maine continued to vote for him.
Delegates tumbled over each other to
vote for him. The other candidates
pulled out, the field was clear for him.
Everything was for him and the trick
was done and Mr.. Sewall thanks the dele.

small potato, place on the national COM
mittee, scooped thespersimmon of the SEQ

mated him are asking who he is In

unknown by the masses in his own state.

himself in the secret of his chamber he
must enjoy himself laughing at how Dr..
Gordon came to Chicago to thump me
and nominated me for Viee-President.
This account of Sewalps nomination
voices the sentiment of the entire gold
contingent of the delegation with the
exception of Mr.. Winslow.
Winslow, who was nomin ated for gov
ernor on strong gold plank, will not say
| now what his course as to the national
ticket or his owns canvass will be. He
saw he will consult with the state COM
mittee first. He does, however, deny en-

DR.. Gordon looked smiling and healthy
and as brown as a berry. The Doctor has
attended too many cases of severe
hysteria to be frightansd by the worst
form of silver lunaoy. In fact the Doctor
| is perhaps inclined to think there may
possibly be some good effects from an at
tack of the disease. At any rate he says
anybody who calls these silver men

says that Bryan will very likely come to
Maine and speak, and II lie does he'll SGT
the people wild. The Doctor left the
train at Fryeburg and was given three
cheers and presented with tho guidon OF
the delegation.
John Scott Of Bath was there, silver
plated and jubilant He was sent as a
delegate from that gold convention at
Portland, but they sent red hot silver
man. That's one on the convention.
MIR. Scott told the convention about the
whispering pines OF Maine that were GO
ing to dance with delirious silver joy
along with the festive snnfiower of
Nebraska. The yellow color OF the sun
flower is against it though. Delegates

course equally happy. They with SCOTT

every ballot. MI. Sawyer says that the
work of the convention was the voice Of
the people, AS the voice of the people
has been said for ages TO be the voice of
God, it is easy to imagine that Mr..
Sawyer is tickled to death over the re-
suit of the convention.
The War Eagle of York was in excel
lent health. He is still pure gold. Not
a feather of mis- Democratic plumage was
touched by silver. Be it to his eternal
credit
G. Vey Holman was there, as full of
interesting information of the great con-
yention as nut is full of meat. He
fought brayely for gold and religious
liberty, and he still sticks to the gold
standard There's no Sewallizing his
platform. Lawyer Deazy of Bar Harbor
was another gold man who came back
beaten but proud Of his allegiance.
Fred Emery Beane was there in q
meditative frame of mind. He didn't
look happy. He was probably thinking
of days to come for the state committee,
Here is how the delegation voted:

Plaisted and Sawyer for Bryan all the
