CURE OF OBESITY;
A Simple Course of Exercise and q
Restrictive Diet Accomplish
Wonders.

While general exercise is valuable, it
g not alone sufficient to aid those who
are too stout, particularly those an
noyed by embonpoint, but specific mo-
tions are necessary. Here is simple
exercise which works wonders. 1t
must be performed with the corsets
and long skirts off. Assume perfectly
upright position-that is, put the heels
together, the arms by the side and the
head high, and the spine curved to
throw the chest out and the hips back.
Then touch the floor in front of the
feet with the fingertips, without bend
ing the knees. Rise to the standing
position, and repeat Is times. If there
is much fatigue, raise the arms over
the head before descending, to soothe
and stimulate the nerves of the back.
This simple exercise has been known
to reduce the weight 20 pounds in
three months, the greatest effect be-
ing over the abdomen.
At first there will be difficulty in
reaching the floor without bending the
knees, but this can be overcome by
persistent effort, which adds interest
to what might seem monotonous and
meaningless. Drop the arms, and by
series OF up and down motions, like
pumping, the tense muscles of back
and thigh will relent, and the hands get
nearer to the floor. At the end of q
week the difficulty should be overcome
and suppleness gained.
When it comes to diet for obesity, the
rules are so much like those for dys-
pepsia and govt that invalidigm is sug.
gested. Primarily the ban goes out
against that wicked trio of sweets, fats
and starches. All are tabooed, and that
means q diet so monotonously simple
that many one lapses into her former
state Of indulgence from WEAKNESS and
Impotence.
There can be no candy, no enticine
drinks from the soda water fountain,
no sugar in coffee or tea (although
saccharine can be used), no desserts;
nor can there be anything fried, nor
mayonnaise, nor creamy things, nor
farinaceous. Vegetables that grow be-
low ground--plebeian vegetables, like
potatoes and beets-must be left out
OF this spartan diet, and butter is for
hidden. What is there left? Why,
this: A cup of hot water an hour be-
fore meals, none with food; fresh meats
except pork-and pulled bread, with
some indulgence in vegetables and
1rult. This of course is severe, but it
Is only necessary for short time, and
surely will lower the weight. After a
suflicient number of pounds have van
lshed into thin air, more generous
diet should be gradually adopted

Foraker and Cuban Franchises.

Or8k6r anu CuDa0 Fr8QC11S0Ss
Senator Foraker secured the adoption
of an amendment to the army appropri-
alton bill preventing the granting OF
franchises in Cuba by the United States
government while Uncle Sam is occupy
ing the island. Senator Platt, of Con-
netticut, opposed the amendment. He
argued that it was an unnecessary and
unjustifable insinuation. Senator
Foraker in reply disclaimed any inten
ton to reflect upon the President, say.
ing that he resented the effort i'm that
direction by certain Senators. He read
an article from the Washington Star,
giving an interview with the president
of the colonial board, saying the board
would take up questions affecting pat
ents and the granting of franchises
Senator Foraker said he had understood
President Mckinley to say in his Boston
speech that he wanted Congress to
legislate on these matters. After some
further discussion the amendment was
adopted by vote of AZ yeas and II nays
With his motives thus impugned, the
result was not only a vindication oi
Senator Foraker, but it was likewise q
very great disappointment to those who
had been counting upon securing yslu
able franchises in Cuba at very small
cost and upon which to realize very
large profits. Senator Hanna wat

Observation-Disclosures Letter.

Never Before 80 Great in the
United States.

New York, March 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review will say tomorrow:
In business, this year cannot be COM
pared with any other. 1t can be said
tha. payments through the principal
clearing houses for the past week have
been 81. A per cent. greater than in 1892
and As per cent. greater than in 1898,
but that exaggerstes the gain in some
branches of business, while in others it
falls far short of the gain. Thus the
February exports of manufactured prod
ucts have about doubled since 1892
Omitting New York clearings, where
speculation in stocks is most active,
payments through the other principal
clearing houses for the same week show
increase of 37.6 per cent. over 1892 and
27.1 per cent. over last year. But with
out regard to such details all realizs that
the volume of business in all branches il
the greatest ever known.

PLANS Of THE

They Are Unknown to Ameri-

WILL BECOME BUSHWHACKERS.
Fighting on LuzOn Bay May
Last for Years.

Hove KONG, March IL 7-Tbe following
general view Of the situation is from
correspondent of the Associated Press
at Manila and has evidently not been
subjected to censorship:
The most remarkable feature of the
situation is the inability of the Ameri-
cans and residents to estimate the num-
bers, resources, and plans of the Filipi-
nos. Prominent generals think that
two or three disastrous battles will
break their spirit and make them sue for
terms.
A msjority of the English and other
residents are of the opinion that the
determination of the Taealos is the
only guarantee of peace, that they can
easily be whipped if they give battle
but that they will dodge q meeting with
the Americans in force. Some people
think they will risk battles at Malabon
and Paranaque, where they are
STRONGLY KNTRENCHED,
and that if they are defeated they will
resume bushwhacking as long as any ol
them are left.
United States Consul Williams says:
81 don't expect to live to see the END
of the war. The rebels shift about &C
much that it is impossible to estimate
their numbers"
The correspondent questioned severa
generals az to the number of the rebel
and the replies ranged from 10000 t.
100, 900. The estimates of the quantit,
of arms possessed by the rebels ar
equally uncertain. The best authoritie
say 10000. Large sections of the armet
natives are ignorant of the use of thei
weapons.
The country beyond the American
lines is rice fields, cane and brush. Tn
rebels are familiar with every inch G
it, and it affords fine hiding places.
The residents say the Tsgalos ar
unanimously rebels, and they predie
the Americans will be resisted at Mir
doro and Mindanao, and that they wi
be obliged to subdue them.

ton, of Cleveland, was associated with
them in the story. Mr.. Burton being
interviewed on the subject, says:
"I have heard the story q number of
times during the past few hours, but so
far % know, there is no such agree-
ment. As for myself, have never
talked with either Mr.. Reed or Senator
Foraker regarding the situation, and 1
have certainly never been approached
to do anything against President Nc.

ing for McKisson has not swerved me in

ticket, I would have supported that

for McKisson.
"Hanna and Foraker both fought my
river and harbor bill, Foraker being tn,
strongest and most persistent in hi
antsRonism.-
"No, sir; 1 know of no compact be
tween Foraker and Reed, or any on
else, and certainly do not believe tha
any such exists"

The Board of Inquiry has been

testimony, not the least important OF
which is, that while a Government

beef, and was having every can of it
inspected, Gen. Eagsn, the Commits
sary General, ordered by telegraph from
Washington, 100000 pounds of second
