TO resort 10 desperate measures to nip
them in the bud. Calisthenics. dieting,
practicing with clubs, Turkish baths
and even straight-out starvation are
few OF the things that are generally
tried, but they are rarely successful.
One OF the few cases ever knew in
which marked tendency TO stoutness

o very charming lady who is still An or.
nament TO the lyric stage. Some years
ago she suddenly took on flesh in an
alarning fa>hion. and everybody pre-
dietod that her career was ended. Next
season. however, she was as sylph-like
- ever. and exactly how she did II has
never been told. The truth 10 her sys-
tenn was very simple. During summer
vacation. spent In the country, she had
her husband drive dag cart every dsy
slong quiet road while she held to the
back Of the vehicle and followed ct a
run. That sustained her aud kept her
from falling, and ~ the same time COM

ton which our forebears had of
giving thirty days public notice of
an intention of marriage. proclaimed
from tn. pnlpit and posted at the
public hall lie believes, "was born of

away from it. do not say that re-
turn so tins old custom of the procla-
nation of marriages would be the
panacea for all marital evils. But it
absolutely would do away with all
the run away marriages, sentimental
elopements end the life compacts born
Of q single moonlight night, from
which results so much unhsppiness to
our girls, and which have brought.
and will continue to bring, SO much
humiliation and disgrace upon parents
and families. 1t IS a significant fact
that in those European countries

What to Do Until the Doctor
Arrives.

1t is very hard to stand idly by ard
see our dear ones suffer willis await
ing the arrival of the doctor. An Al
bany IN W dslryman called at a drug
store there for q doctor to come and
see his child, then very sick with Group.
Not finding the doctor in, he left word
for him to come at once on. hrs return.
He also bought bottle of Chamber
latn's Cough Remedy, which he hoped
would give relief until the doctor
should arrive. In few hours he re.
turned saying the doctor need not
come. as the child was much better
The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the
family has since recommended Cham.
berlain,s Cough Remedy to their neigh.
bors and friends until he has con.
slant demand for it from that part Of
the country. For sale by Elliott &

The Illinois Central R. r. Co.

An Illinois Central railroad survey
ing party is reported to be at work
along the Sioux river in kennebeck
township and it is said there are grade
stakes twelvc miles this side of Love
land That.the Central intends to con,
meet this branch with the new line built
last summer there is no doubt, but
it seemshsfdly possible that they will
make the connection at kennebeck 81
ding. The Sentinel still believes the
line VIII 10 ran from Onawa to Love
land and IT SO it means great deal
for the town IS this would be the prop.
er place for division of the road It
is thought that in a month or soft will
be known just what the plans are.
The plans are to cut off every foot
of distance possible as the road is built
for. all time. From the. point where
the Sioux valley connects with the Mo
valley the nearest route in miles, rods,

Why Not Take llliterdtes?

The report that Collector Dillon has
ordered that the bridge guards shall
not read while on duty is'denied at the
Office of the collector, but the inspectors
about it.
The inspectors have long hours with
nothing much to do but watch the
bridge and question passengers. They
usually sit soutside of stheir booths,
and how anybody could pass them
without their knowing 1t is hard to see,
even if the inspector did happen to be
reading at the time.
It has been suggested that the col
lector pick out men who cannot read
and then he would not have any
trouble on that score.

THE PANHANDLE
Is Not Half So Bad ds 1t is Painted

J. M. Strong, of Quanah, Texas,
sheriff Of Hardeman county, up ia the
panhandle, was caller at the HERALD
office yesterday. Mr.. Strong was en-
thusiastic over the sheriffs' conven-
ton and highly pleased with Ell Paso.
When asked about his own country
he said: 1.-The panhandle, which only
q few years ago was vast expanse of
uninhs bited frontier country, q reno e.
vous and field for the operation of
lawless characters. is now one of the
most prosperous, civilized and law
abiding sections of the great state of
Texas. 1t is rapidly developing and
the emigration to this section is in
creasine frem year, while the emigra-
nts are of that class that makes most
desirable citizens.
The panhandle ia no longer q frontier
country but the home of a people as
peacable and law abiding as can be
found anywhere and they absolutely
control as far as law and order are con-
cerned. Nearly every jail in the pan
handdle ia empty and the presence OF
the rangers In that country must not
be taken as an evidence that the sheriffs
need them in the enforcement of the
law. The sheriffs are able to take care
of tn at portion of the state, for the ex-
ecusing of criminal process Is q very
small portion of their work.
