"A Faithful and Constant Reader: The presence
OF much adipose tissue fat IS generally
due a food supply that exceeds the demand. and
the best method of reduction is change of diet.
To say that the supply exceeds the demand" is
be understood assertion that the over
fat person eats too great quantity. That is gen.
orally true but there sufferers who consume
only a reasonable amount of food. and in their
the trouble is that the diet contains too much
Of the fat producing element and too little blood
and bone producing matter
That excessive fat is a disease is accepted
as a scientific fact, but IL is seldom wise to at

a proper of food, exercise, massage and baths.

WRONG IDEAS OF VALUES.

1t is undoubtedly stultfying to broader develop

through uneven glass. nothing Is seen its
true value-what is unimportant IS magnihed. while
the real issues Of life blurred and beIittled Up
TO q certain point It must be conceded that social
ambition is stimulating as for instance the desire
TO be respectable in the lower classes or the de-
termination Of energetic and clever man TO COM
pei the recognition Of the world. But the young
people who are surrounded by a fashionable en-
toUrage. or those on the confines OF smart society
who led to regard a prominent position in
its ranks the sumum bonum that can be
achieved, the atmosphere IN which they live is
sometimes morally mRlarious. and is almost sure
TO enervate and deteriorate the character. How

PAsSAMaQUODDY INDIANS.
Report OF Agent Charles A. RoIic Submitted 10
Governor and Council.

NharloS a. Rolfe, agent of the Pas
saIaaquoddy tribe of Indians, has sub
mitted his report to the Governor and
council The appropriations of the
state was 1870. The balance of the
land damage resolve amounted to
SS22.l2. making a total of SS29212 The
total expenditures were SSl52O2 The
credits for the year Were $780,
The number of Indians Dec. l. 1899
was 40. This number has been re-
duced by death to AGO.
At the election. oct. 3. Joseph Z. Sc
ris was elected representative TO the
LEGISLATURE. Peter H. Dana was chosen
Governor, and William Neptune. lieu
tenant governor. Mr.. Rofe describes
these men as bright and intelligent and
says they will make good officials
The schools at Pleasant Point and
Peter Dana's Point under the manage
ment of the Sisters Of Mercy. have
made excellent progress. These sisters
have been with the Indians for great
many years. and their influence for
good is great.
The report states that the Sisters
Home at Peter Dana's Point needs
some repairs, as does also the school
house at Pleasant Point. The church
at Pleasant Point is said to be in q
bad state.
The committee on Indian affairs at
the last Legislature by some oversight,
the report says. failed to make the an
nual appropriation for the repair OF
the road leading from Peter Dana's
Point TO Princeton. and the road is
in very bad condition.
The Indians will lean little harder
upon the State each ensuing year for
the reason that the fish and game law
effects the Indians real food question:
more than that of any or most white
men. White guides are now employed
when not many years ago only Indians
were used.
1T will be observed" Mr.. Rolfe says,
that the PenobScOt tribe of Indians
Though more than 100 less in number
than the Passamaquoddy, draws from
the State in interest on trust fund,
shore rents and general appropriation,
a much larger sum than the latter
The facilities of the PenobscotS for OBJ
tanning SuStcnance are much better
than those Of the PGssamaquOddeS.

ICE CUTTING on PEAcBscoT.
Work in Full Swing on Thoe Fields Which
Can Be Opsraied.

Ice cutting operations by the COM
panies which supply the local trade
with the frozen product have begun
and are well under way. The people
who cut ON the river below the dam
are not able to begin yet since the ice
has at no time been thick enough, and
during the warmer weather of the past
few days has been losing instead of
making.
On the fields which will be cut on the
river, those at Ayers lower house. at
the Orrington house. and at the Dirigo
the ice is hardly five inches thick, and
of course unfit to operate on. The men
who expect to cut there this winter
are feeling happier now that the
weather has changed for the colder,
and ice is rapidly making again.
The field opposite the Rollins house
opposite City Point has been staked
out. and the house will be filed this
winter if conditions permit This is the
only field besides those already mon
toned that is in any condition to be
cut Up into marketable cakes on ac-
count cf the bad freeze at the time
when the river closed.
The Citizens Ice Co, which has its
house above the dam on the Bangor
side of the river, staked out its field
early, and began to cut the first of the
week The ice above the dam is the
best on the river, and is &c inches.

ceptionally fine one. and the. crop this
year will be considerably better than
the average. Tie company will fill its

amount needed to keep the passengers

. The Steamship CO., however, is of the
opinion that 1000 tons will be quite
as much as is needed. The operations
