Helpful suggcstlons Regarding the Way
10 Become Plump.
The only women who are at once thin
and beautiful exist in romantic novels.
In real life the thin lady has hollow
cheeks, bony hands and a prominent
collar-bone. 1t takes time to get fat,
Just as It takes time TO grow thin, The
candidate for added flesh should get all
the sleep possible-from nine TO ton
hours. In addition, a nap In the middle
OF the day will help While mapping,
no stays, tight shoes or bands must be
worn. II one cannot sleep, one should
lie down In n darkened room at least
thirty minutes instead.
In the morning n cold plunge, or at
least cold sponge, must be taken,
dashing the water on the shoulders,
neck and collar-bOne, drying with a
Turkish towel and avoiding heavy
clothing. A thin woman should avoid
cumbersome wraps, heavyweight dresa
goods and Innings. She should not tire
herself bicycling, and she should have
plenty of fresh air.
Diet deserves consideration. For
some drinking ualt liquors Is a great
help, but many cannot stand II. diet
with an eye to acquiring flesh should
consist OF llquidn-milk water, but no
coffee and tea, no hot breads, plenty Of
butter and cheese and good cocoa. The
very thin woman should have five meals
n day, should eat marmalnde and plenty
OF warm milk and cream. Indeed, II
warm milk Is drunk before retiring, 10
Is in Itself almost n sure cure for thin
ness.
Above all, eat slowly and never eN-
erclse until half an hour after meals.

CUBAN REFORM.
Statements From Madrid ON Attitude q
spanish Government.

London, Jan. le.-The Standards
Madrid correspondent. with reference to
the coming decree for Cuban reforms.
which he says the queen regent has oom-
pletely approved telegraphs as follows:
1t Is evident that the government
wishes TO indicate that IL has acted spon-
taneously. even going beyond the powers
already voted by the cortes. which will
have to grant a bill OF indemnity for
the new decree. The reforms will show
how far Spain is prepared TO go In de-
Capitalization without surrendering any
rights or orerogatives Of the home gov
eminent and OF the cortes. In which both
Cuba and Porto Rico will have due
representation. 1t will also be seen that
I'm the reform of the tariff Spain is dis
posed to cacriflces compatible with the
needs OF the Cuban budget. More can
hardly be expected from Conservative
cabinet. and Spaniards will anxiously
watch the effects of this change OF policy
fra the new world.
The Standard says OF this dispatch In
an editorials:
The plan owes its origin to Senor Cano-
vas, and II is q foregone conclusion that
the council of state will approve the re-
forms. 1t is Spain's only safe policy
She incurs a grave risk OF rupture with
the United States by continuing the war
She is right In refusing TO quit her hold
OF Cuba. III the insurgents are discon-
tented with the concessions Spain Is
justified in a severe use of the sword.
Senor Canovas has taken a courage
Gus line in Drawing storm of popular
passion. We hope there is enough COM
mon sense and loyalty in the country to
support him. The time could not have
been more wisely chosen, because there
is no appearance of yielding to American
dictation.
