Drink Water and Get Thin.


The newest reduction cure entails on It's
disciples fewer hardships than some Of it's
predecessors, and it's wonderful effects are
praised by thoe who have practiced it. 1t
exacts no particular seif-denial. Those who
are anxious to try its effects may continue
to enjoy their usual diet and need renounce
only water with their meals. But they are
required to make up for the water they avoid
at meals by the amount to be drunk during
the day. Not less than two quarts of wa
ter is the daily allowance. This may be
taken at the times most convenient to the
patient, provided that none is drunk until
an hour after dinner has elapsed. II that
time has passed the patient may drink his
entire allowance, although in the majority
of cases the required two quarts is taken
In smaller amounts and more frequently
Stories are told Of the new cure that make
1t seem more remarkable than any of its
predecessors Its results are soon noticed
and are said to be as lasting as thoe of any
other method of reduction. Combined with
a certain degree of abtinence and exercise
the water cure Is said to be more efficient

Mystery. Attends Finding Remains of
Kansas Man and Wife.
PARSONS Kan, December 2o.-The
cause of the deaths of Col. John E. Bull
and his wife, whose bodies were found at
their home here last night, will remain
mystery with no apparent hope Of solution.
Owing to the decomposed condition of the
bodies physicians have been unable to make
satisfactory examination. One theory
advanced is that death was caused by as
phyxiation from natural gas, with which
the house was lighted and heated Another
theory that has gained some credence is
that the couple had quarreled over real
estate DEAL and that Bull had murdered
his wife and then committed suicide. Col.
Bull sold their home a month ago, and 1t is
said Mrs. Bull refused to sign the deeds at
first, only finally doing so after much pro-
test. When found Bull was fully dressed
and his wife had removed part of her cloth

u The Young Girl in Society.
From Harper's Weekly.
Mrs. Mary st. Leger Harrison, daughter
OF Charles Kingsley. known as a writer as
Lucas Malet, has been giving some consid-
Grafton to questions relating TO American
Society," She finds that our society has
drawbacks, and Instances as the most nota-
bic among these that in the United States
"the young girl Is Of too much Importance"
Ordinarily we resent the imputations put
upon us by foreign, critics. but In this in
stance we are rather glad to acknowledge
the corn. and to add further that we glory
In our weakness. No man ever lost any
thing Of his flneness by trying to live up
to the ideal the young girl has of him. No
raconteur4 ever found greater spur to the
telling of his stories In the best possible
form than that, which comes through the
knowledge that the ear of fresh and eager
mind is hanging upon his words. No bril-
liant conversationa1ist ever found his bril-
lance dtmmed La the presence of young
creature whose appreciation of his wit and
wide. range of knowledge was as yet un-
dulled by the long years of contact with a
blase world. We, PROFESSIONALLY do pay a
great deal Of attention to the young girl in
this country, and It has been one of the
refining elements of our social evolution.
and we venture TO think that when We
change our plan, and sequestrate the young
girl in the sacred precincts of the nursery,
we shall not only stunt her development TO
her own very great wrong, but build UP
for ourselves new society which shall be
q selfish. hollow sham; devoid of charm;
devoid of freshness: devoid of life, beauty
and happiness; anG made up of groups OF
erudite egotists than whom there is no
greater bore IN all creation.
