A prominent taxpayer meeting one of
the town councilmen yesterday asked
him a couple of very pertinent ques-
ton. How is il that one man is allowed
TO cart stone to the crusher all through
the winter. for which he is paid I'm the
spring, while others are not allowed to
cart single load" "Well. ] suppose
he must have pile OF his own" replied
the councilman. "But how is II that
other people cannot have piles?" asked
the tax payer. Il don't know" was the
reply. II will see" In regard to the
sprinkling of the streets the citizen
wanted to know why the sum of two
dollars per day for each cart whether
IL rains or not. is paid out of the sprin-
king appropriation fund, instead of the
highway expenses. The councilman said
he understood they were paid for by
the load. but he was not positive on this
point and would also look that matter
up The councilman wound up the con-
Versation with the oft repeated words:
IF you want TO know about these mat
ters particularly you had better see

A young man who lives at 40 Hedley

"A lamp which his father had gently re-
monstrated with him feared he would
throw. The father got hold OF the
lighted lamp after a dangerous strug-
gle The young mans anger did not
cool very quickly and he proceeded TO
punch his father i'm the face. Just
about this time Officers Godfrey ana
Kirby came along and the boisterouS
young fellow was, at his fathers re-
quest taken into custody. Besides the
arrest for assault, there was one ar
rest for drunkness, and that was the
biggest part of the police work re-

THE CURE OF OBESITY.

Fats. oil starch and sugar are the
principal carbonaceous foods that fur
nish us with animal heat and also
avoirdupois, which in excess is corpu-
lence.
IL has been found that for the aver
age person from Ia 10 20 ounces of car
bonaceous food, together with the req
uiste amount OF nitrogenous matter
according to the season, is sufficient to
keep up the normal health. When less
is supplied. or I'm sickness. when food
cannot be digested the balance is with
drawn from the fatty accumulations
under the skin. Therefore. if one
wishes to reduce ones weight--and
most people can regulate their own
observe that the amount of carbon
aceous food consumed during the day
* less than from IA TO 20 ounces, and
that no article Of food contains more
than it's due proportion of carbonaceous
matter. For of course, all carbon
aceous foods do not contain the same
amount of carbon. Fats and oils. hav-
ing i'm them no water. contain two and
a half times more carbon than starch
and sugar which are largely composed
OF water
Ii YOU have reached an average
weight and ish TO retain IL, apportion
your food supply so that the IL to 90
ounces of Carhon9ceous matter (rice.

The CARS NEWEST wHIM.

The Car is man of moral courage.
His peace manifesto convinced few
persons Of that, but. to quote Cyrano,
he has done better since. Popular fads
are no respecters of persons. Even
royalty cannot escape them; and the
recent fad for papering or decorating
rooms in black and white sketches APP
pealed to the Car and CZarina. Ac-
cording to St Petersburg gossip the
imperial couple had one Of the palace
rooms done over in black and white,
and were nightly pleased with the re-
suit. Then the Gar had brilliant
idea He would have a den papered
entirely with caricatures Of himself.
He gave orders that collection of all
caricatures of his royal self that had
appeared i'm foreign journals should be
procured; and he is delighted with his
scheme.
Few great men could stand such 2
test: and only a phenomenal sense OF
humor and a sturdy selt-respect. no
orally favored with general tolerance
for other mems views, could enable a
man to be happy in a room papered
with caricatures of himself. IL IS
doubtful whether another sovereign in
Europe would enjoy following the
Cars example; and imagination fails
when one tries to conceive OF the state
OF mind into which such "A room would
plunge the Huhenzollern palmer But
if that same Emperor William would
mortfy his vanity to the extent OF or
dering "A cariCature room for himself,
what an ineNhaustible fund he would
have to draw from, and what spicy
character his decorations might as
sume! He has supplied the carcatur-
lists of two continents with bread ever
since he appeared on the public streets.
