HOW TO GET FAT.
Eat Eeforc Retiring, and Increased
Weight Is sure to Result.

Modern medical science is continual
~ UpSCtting some treasured idea or OF
err From time immemOrai it has been
regarded as inadvisable for anyone to
eat anything before going to bed, 1t be
ing vaguely held that the digestive or
ganS were not in condition for good
work during the hours of sleep. Al
most any physician will now tell YOU
that tins is IA mistaken idea. Indeed Il
leading doctor advises everybody to
take a bite before retiring, especially
thin people. Here is his opinion:
IF you are thin and want to put flesh
upon your bones eat before going TO
bed for the night. Physiology teaches
us that there is Il wasting away of It's
sue while person sleeps as well as
when he is awake. ana this being so
there should be continuous nourish-
mcnt. Food taken at dinner or in the
early evening is always digested at the
time Of retiring. ana the activity of the
process Of assimilation continues until
long after we are asleep.
If the tissues are not nourished they
are pulled down by the wasting pro

the only creature know of who does
not deem it proper to sleep on Il full
stomach. The infant, in this respect,
inStinctively cries to be fed at night,
showing that food is necessary at that
time as well as through the day. and
that left too long without it causes Il
discomfort which it makes known by
crying. There is 10 need for rest i'll
the digestive organs. provided the
quantity Of food eaten is not above
normal during the twcnty-four hours.
Too long intervals between meals are
bad for the stomach. from the fact that
the cessation and resumption OF work

KILLING TEXAS WOLVES.
Eleven Hundred Slain Last Year by
Trapper Martin.

The wolves were not as plentiful as we
had expected to find them. says writer
in the Texas Farm and Ranch. The rea-
son for their scarcity is that the ranch
men have adopted successful method OF
disposing of them. Some FIVE or six of
the big ranches have raised a salary
which they pay man whose business is
no other than to kill wolves and panth-
crs. That man is MIR. Martin, whose ad-
dress is Guthrie. He is better known as
Wolf Martin. Mr.. Martin is a trapper
IN the true sense of the word. He has
two headquarter camps, eight fine saddle
horses which he keeps well ridden. "A
large pack of wolf hounds and 2"o larg"
wolf traps. The traps he puts ont at
certain points along the road and trails
and each morning he makes the circuit
with his dogs. The traps are left loose
and when he finds one gone the dogs are
placed on the trail. and usually III a
short distance come upon the trapped
wolf. which they dispose Of III short or
der. The dogs live on the wolves killed,
eating the meat raw.
During his long experience as trap
per Mr.. Martin has learned many curl
Gus things about the habits of the ami
mails in his section. The wolves. he says,
are always TO be found along the roads
at night, rather than off III the brakes,
50 ne always places MS traps along the
roadside. He uses no bait on his traps,
but has a substitute for bait in Il kind of
fluid of his own discovery and manufac-
ture. Win the fluid he saturates a pa
per or cloth and burics it in the ground
near his trap. He always carries a bot
tie of this tluid with him and claims it
to be superior to any bait
Last year he killed something over
100 wolves, a few panthers and 80 deer.

raised to $40. This amount, with the
hounties on the scalps, and the price of
the skins, make him Il salary of $1,000 or
5000 a year. This is small in COMPARE
son with the amount saved yearly by the
Cattlemen of the section.

Shake Dice for Big Business

Vine street cigar store few days ago.
when some passenger men shook the box

that carried them. The representatives.
of the various lines decided to settle the
question of which road should carry the
party by shaking the box. The Balti-
more X Ohio Southwestern man won and

got the business.

THE HEALTH BOARD AT FAULT.

The attempt Of the President Of the Health
Board 10 throw blame for black smoke in
Brooklyn upon the shoulders Of others has as
we showed the other day, completely failed.
Not n single one Of his pleas. complaints, ac-
cusations or what not can he sustained against
the police or the Grand Jury. They simply
showed that the Health Board itself is either
ins!ncere or incompetent. We said on Sunday
TINT It was nonsense to complain that Health
Board inspectors could not detect offenders be-
cause they, the inspectors, were not on the
streets, hut still in their beds, when the fires
were lighted I'm the morning. or course, the
inspectors ought to be on the street and at
work at any time when their work is needed
But, as we then said the offenders can be de-
tected at other hours Just as well. In verifca-
ton of our words. it was to he observed that
yesterday morning at O'Clock, and at 10
o'clock, and indeed all day. dozens of chimneys
were pouring forth black smoke. as plainly
visible for miles around as the eruption of
volcano. Were Mr.. Murphy's enterprislng In
spectors in bed and asleep all day?
But now, to cnch the matter, comes plain
tale from the District Attorney in reply to the
President of the Health Board He denies
categorlcaly that he and the Grand Jury are
Mt fault He declares that no complaint has
been made to his office which has not been
promptly acted upon. Only one case has been
brought to his attention, and 1t has been
promptly and satisfactorily disposed Of. The
District Attorney promises to act with similar
promptness on all other cases Mr.. Murphy may
bring before him. VIII Mr.. Murphy accept the
offer? Or will he make known the cases which,
as he would like the public to believe. have
been brought to the attention OF the Grand
Jury or the District Attorney and have not
been acted upon? IF he does not do one or the
other. and that right away. the public will be
amply justified in holding that he and his
subordlnates are Mt fault In the matter. On
the face Of the cnse the Health Board Is Mt
fault The burden Of proof for its exculpatlon
rests with the Board itself.
