CURE: OF. OBESITY.
A Simple Course of Exercise and q
Restriotive Diet Accomplish
Wonders.

While general exercise is valuables it,
is not alone sufficient to- aid those who
are too stout, particularly those an
noyed by embonpoint, but specific mo-
lions are necessary. Here is a simple,
exercise which. works wonders. It,
must ha, performed with the corseta
and long: skirts off. Assume perfectly
upright position is, put the.heela
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 fngertips, 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.
Nhis 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 a. difficulty in
reaching the floor without bending the
knees, but this can be. overcome hy
persistent effort, which, adds interest
to what might seem monotonous and
meaningless. Drop the arms, and by
series of up and down motions, like
Pamping, the tense muscles of back
and thigh will relent, and the hands get
nearer to the floor. At the end of a
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 invaidism is sug.
gested. Primarily the ban goes out
against that wicked trio of sweets, fats
and starches. All are tabooed, and that
means diet so monotonously simple
that many a. 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 OF tea (although
saccharine can be used), no desserts;
nor cam 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 lefte Why,
this: A cup of hot water an hour be.
fore meals, none with food; fresh meats
except portland pulled bread, with
some indulgence in vegetables and
fruit. This of course is severe, but it
is only necessary for short time, and
surely will lower the weight. After a
sufficient number of pounds have van.
ished into thin air, more generous
diet should be gradually adopted

Income Tax for Michigan.

Lansing, Mich. May 1O.-The senate
passed an income tax bill which pro-
vides for tax of one-fourth of one per
cent. on all incomes of $1,000 and up
wards. Originally the bill applied only
to persons, but an amendment makes it

So Ends the Second Game,
a Very Excellent One.

Yesterdays baseball game be-
tween the Vinitas and Oswegoes,
resulting as shown above, has per-
haps not been excelled on these
grounds this season, in interest. 1t
was a game in which the entire
team of either side had part.
The pitching on either side was
all that could be desired and Me-
Query, Spider, ofthe home team
and Howell of the visitors were
very evenly matched. Howell
struck out 5 men and "Spider" 4.
Honors with the catchers were also
quite evenly divided; neither per-
mitted ball to pass. A trick
with several of the batters was to
strike at balls they deemed it i'm
possible for Parks to catch, and
which were in some instances five
or six feet wide of the
plate-in one or two instances
the wrong side of the batter. In
every case this endeavor to ''fim
the boy proved disastrous. To all
appearances Howell's work seem
ed to EXCEL that OF Nc Query,
but not in results was it manifest
to any extent. The former stop

the second baseman to perform a

on forced runs, in which the batter
was also thrown out to Ridenhour
at first, were the sensations OF the
day, and do not often fall to the
lot of two players on the same
side in the same game. The work
of Correll, the Oswego first base,
man was exceptionally good and
his pitcher had no besiIeney
in putting the ball to him
on any occasion, and the
same was true at third, on

Denied the Application.

ternoon refused the application OF
the Bar association for restrain
ing order against the enforcement
of the payment of the s25 occupa-
ton tax which the interior depart
ment is endeavoring to collect from
all attorneys IN the Greek nation.
Judge Thomas ruling sustains
the department in enforcing the
Greek statute which imposes the
tax and holds that in this matter
at least the Curtis bill neither
supercedes previous laws of con-
gress nor abrogates the tribal laws
of the Creek nation. The Bar as
sociation promptly gave notice Of
appeal.
The association is determined to
fight the imposition Of the occu-
patton tax to the bitter end and
will hold meeting this evening
to formulate plans for future ac-
ton. -Muskogee Times,

CONFESSED IT ALL.
Clay Young, Murderer OF Bush and
Cooey. Acknowledges His Auth
orsbip of the Crime.

Clay young, the man now in the
Muskogee Jail and charged with
the murder of Bush and Cooey, |
the dead men found ten days ago |
near Fort Gibson, made confess
ion Saturday evening, freely
acknowledging his guiltiness of
the horrible crime, and the same
is now in possession OF United
States District Attorney Soper.
The confession was obtained
from Young by Deputy Marshal
Rogers, who assisted in efiecting
his arrest. Substantially it is as
follows; Young came into Mus.
kogee on freight train on Tues
day night preceding the murder.
Next day he met Bush and Cooey
at wagon yard where they
bought some horse feed. They in
formed him that they were going
to Arkansas TO look up location.
Young stated his desire to 60 with
them and was privileged to accom-
pany them. The party left Mus
kogee about noon Wednesday and
crossed the Arkansas river at
Frozen Rock ferry. Proceeding
five or six miles further they
camped on the prairie. all three
lying down in the wagon. After
Bush and his companion had gone
to osleep Young claims he conceived
the idea of killing his benefactors,
robbing them and driving away
with the team. The scheme was
no sooner conceived than the
wretch proceeded to carry it into
execution. He first gained pos
session of Bush's old pepper box
pistol, an antiquated firearm with
one barrel loaded. Then picking
up the axe he dealt Cooey blow
on the head. This aroused the
elder man who attempted to arise,
when the fend also dealt him a
blow on the head with the axe.
Young followed up his murder
Gus work by placing the pistol to
the old mans neck and firing. Al
this juncture Cooey showed symp-
toms of returning consciousness,
when Young dealt him another
blow with the axe, crushing the
skull as if it were an eggshell
Meanwhile Bush was struggling
and moaning piteously in the wag-
on box, and the now freDEied
butcher likewise dealt him a blow
which ended his suffering.
Young then proceeded to rot
his victims, finding only small
amount of money, to his chagrir
and disappointment. The team
was thereafter hilched to the wag
on and the bodies hauled to tht
spot near Gibson where they were
found next evening. The subse
quent details have for several days
I been public property.
