Fat folks are especially in need OF
hope just now, and it is a pleasure TO
be able to offer them some There are
many sure cures for CONSUMPTION and
other deadly diseases but there hasn't
been any very sure cure for the fat
disease At least, if there has been it
hasn't been used much. Now DR.. Will
liam 7. Cathell of Baltimore comes for
ward with so sure and so simple cure
for fat that fat person would have to
be as cantankerous as Naaman was
not to use it. And like the cure of
Naaman the cure of fat is water-Kis-
singer and Vichy. If you are fat and
would become lean begin the great
work by drinking a big glass of Kis-
singer water twenty or thirty minutes
after your breakfast another at the
same interval after the MONDAY meal,
another at the same interval after the
evening meal. The next day substitute
Vichy for Kissngen, drinking it the
same way The next return to Kis-
singer then go back to Vichy, and so
from day to day. If any healthy per-
son, says the doctor, weighing less than
900 pounds, with simple uncomplicated
overfatness, will persistently continue to
take them thus, week after week, he
will gradually lose fat until he comes
down to medium weight and stoutness,
and be correspondingly relieved of the
discomforts and the dangers Of obesity;
after which their use should be discon-
tinued. If at the end of the first fort
night the patient finds that he Cor she)
is not four pounds lighter, the doctor
advises the addition of a few teaspoon
fuls of lemon juice to each glass of Kis-
singer, and one teaspoonful of aro-
matte spirits of ammonia to each glass
of Vichy. He also advises "acidulous'
food and drinks on the Kissingen days,
and an avoidance of them on the Vichy
days.
So much for the cure. Now for some

true to l6 to 1. He has not yet gone

sition will be Endorsed by great gains at
the polls.
OF course if anti-imperalism is to be
the chief issue in Iowa 16 to 1 can't be,
and If Chairman Huffman's confidence
is supported by the voting this year 16
to 1 will not be the chief issue in Iowa
next year. 1t will probably also not be
the chief issue in other places. What
will Brother Bryan do then? Submit to
the will Of the people, with his great
heart still true, or will he submit to
the will of the politicians and be cast
out of the convention?

The SpiIiet.

Beneath the rafter, black and bare,
The ancient spinet stands;
The spiders DER its yelloWs keys
Have stretched ther iilmy. strands;
Around Its weak and lettering frame
The airy cobwebs blow,
In lieu of si,ken tapestries
That moulderCd long ago.
But windy nights II quaint old tune
Comes stealing down the stair;
For then she wakes the keys again
ghost with powdered mar.
The mice go dancing in and out
To melodies she sung,
When fashion trod the minuet
And Washington was young
Around her on the garnet floor
Her shining satlns trail;
haunting sorrow dims her eyes;
Her face Is proud and pale.
But when climb the creaking stair,
The gusty moonlight falls
On nothing but the withered herbs
That hang along the walls.
And yet the spnet trembles still
TO that forgotten tune;
The ashes of Il crumbled rose
Upon the keys are streWn;
And yonder chest below the caves
Her gown of satin holds,
With sprIgs of broken lavender
Between its faded folds.

Commenting upon the purchase of
thousands of abandoned New England
farms by men of foreign birth, Heze-
kiah Butterworth gives the following
good advice: If you have farm, keep
dt; If not, get one, for the time may
come when this country will be largely
divided into monopolists, dependents,
and farmers, and the farmer will be
the most independent of all men and
the saving power of our institutions.
The New England farmer who says
that the farm is a thing of the past is
himself but product of the past. The
man who has a five-thousand-dollar
farm in New England, with five thou
sand dollars in the bank and who will
live within his means, is millionaire,
and his possession and contentment are
not unlikely to outlast that of the mil
lionaire.
