FAST ENDS IN DEATH.
Remarkable Case of Fanaticism al
Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. PA case of
fanaticism of the extreme type has been
discovered here when Miss Nell Thomp-
son, coIored. died while being taken from
the home of Mrs. Minerva William, who
Is said to call herself a representative
of Christ and who has been preaching
the doctrine of fasting as a means OF
grace.
The Thompson woman practiced this
doctrine, having gone without food for
eight days and sleeping in the river
bottom on a piece of mating in pursu-
ance of what is said to be Mrs, Will
Hams teachings.
The matter is to be investigated.
The Sisters of Saint Francis Clinton,
Iowa, write under the date of January

duration. After she had used one bot

she was entirely cured. We therefore

Long Guns.

The six-inch rifles of our new cruiser
the New Orleans, are interesting on ac-
count of their great proportional
length. The guns are of what is call
ed 50-caliber i. e., the length of the
gun is so times the diameter of the
bore, or caliber. The gun is therefore
% feet long. Until within a few years
55-caliber guns were the largest made,
but recently, in France, length of no
less than so calibers has been en-
ployed. The advantage of This increase
OF length is that corresponding in
crease of velocity can be impaired to
the projectile, because it is subjected
Tor longer time to the expansive
force of the gases generated by firing
the powder. A projectile from six
inch gun Of 30-caliber penetrates four
teen inches Of iron at the muzzle, while
the same projectile from gun of So
caliber penetrates 81 inches of iron.

Exercise of the wA,st.

Between the pelvis and ribs, the on
~ bones are those of the spine; five
bones, having great freedom of motion.
The waist depends for its strength and
vigor upon the broad muscles which
make up the walls of the trunk at this
place; hence the need of that condition
of those muscles which only exercise
will produce.
Here comes in one of the great evils
OF any device in dress which by any
degree of rigidity gives support to the
body. To the extent of the support
given the muscles are relieved Of their
proper functions; they accommodate
themselves to the demand made upon
them. The less the demand the weak
er do they become. The tight or bon
ed waist becomes splint. A splinted
muscle loses power. Strong abdomin-
al muscles are great essential to easy
and safe delivery of children, since the
abdominal muscles are the secondary
force in childbirth. Weak and USE
less abdominal muscles have prolong-
ed many a confinement, and led to
nsany a serious injury when the trou-
BILE might have been avoided had the
mother possessed strong abdominal
muscles. But this is not all. Many
deaths have resulted from the same
cause. For want of strength in these
muscles. prolonged labor and hemor-
rhage have carried away the mother
and ofttimes the child.
SO We emphasize abdominal exercise
for all women; to secure better fig
ure. more vigor of body, and, above all.
greater safety in collaborating.

Out in the Pacific Ocean, somewhere
about midway between San Francisco
and Yokohama, is place where to-
morrow is born and the traveller skips
from yesterday to tomorrow without
being able to get grip on today. One
day is absolutely stolen out of his life,
for If it be Tuesday on one side Of
the line, it is either Thursday or Tues
day repeated on the other. No matter
which direction the ship may be SAIL

day when he gets to that point. che
weekly calendar operates from differ
ent sides of the sea, and the result is
this conflict. In crossing the Atlantic
from London to New York the pas
senger gains slightly over half an hour
day. From New York to Chicago he
adds another hour to the three or four
crossing the ocean, another in reach
ing Denver, and still another on reach
ing San Francisco. The latter city
reckons time eight hours later than
London, and the better portion OF a
day later than Shanghai or Yokohama.

How . Great Manufactures Has BfouehA
Thorn Within Reach OF All.
Probably at no time in the worlds
history has so much attention been
Paid to the interior decoration Of
homes as at present. No home. no
matter how humble, Is without it's
nandiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surround
angs more cheerful. The taste Of the
American people has kept pace with
the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new in the way of q
picture, draping, a piece of furniture
or other form Of mural decoration.
One OF the latest Of these has been
given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville, in series of four
handsome porcelain game plaques.
Not for years has anything as hand
some in this line been seen. The sub
jects represented by these plaques are
American Wild Ducks, American
Pheasant, American Quail and English
Snipe. They are handsome paintings
and are especially designed for hang
Ing on dining-room walls, though
their richness and beauty entities them
to place in the parlor of any home.
These original plaques have been pur-
chased at cost Of $4,000 by ]. G..
Hubinger Bros. Co., manufacturers of
the celebrated Elastic Starch, and in
order to enable their numerous Gus
toners to become possessors of these
handsome works of art they have had
them reproduced by special process
In all the rich colors and beauty Of
the original. They are finished on
heavy cardboard, pressed and en-
bossed In the shape of a plaque and
trimmed with heavy band of gold.
They measure forty inches in circum-
ference and contain no reading matter
or advertisement whatever.
Until October Messrs. J. G. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co. propose to distribute
these plaques free to their customers.
Every purchaser of three ten-cent
packages OF Elastic Starch, fiat-iron
brand, manufactured by ]. c. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co., is entitled to receive
one OF these handsome plaques free
from their grocer. Old and new GUS
toners alike are entitled to the bene-
fits Of this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mail, the only
way to obtain them being from your
grocer. Every grocery store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. It
IS the Oldest and best laundry starch
on the market, and is the most perfect
cold process starch ever invented. It
Is the only starch made by men who
thoroughly understand the laundry
business, and The only starch that will
not injure the finest fabric. It has been
the standard for quarter of a CEN
fury, and as an evidence of how good
it is twenty-five million packages were
sold last year. Ask your dealer to
show you the plaques and tell you
about Elastic Starch. Accept no sub
stitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good short time only, and
shpuld be taken advantage of without
delay.

Remdy for Mosquito Bites

James L. Foley, a well-known in
surance man, has written letter to
General G. M. Sternberg, surgeon-gen-
eral of the United States army, sug-
costing remedy for mosquitoes, black
flies and sand flies, with which the
troops In the far south are now both
cred. Mr.. Foley served through the
civil war, and has had considerable
personal experience in the matter,
having resided for several summers in
different parts Of Canada. The prep
aration he recommends is composed of
olive or cottonseed oil, with a sufficient
amount Of North Carolina tar to give
the mixture the consistency of ordin-
airy cream. This. applied to exposed
parts of the body, face, neck and
hands, few times during the day or
just before retiring at night, will, he
says, relieve the soldiers of all insect
pests found in warm climates.
