The slowness Of Starvation.

Duringa prolonged fast the loss Of
weight is unusually rapid at first and
decreases as the time goes on. Death
ensues when certain percentage Of
the loss has been reached, and this
percentage varies according to the orig
inal weight. Fat animals may lose
half their weight, thinner ones perhaps
two-ffths. A man or woman Of rather
spare build weighing $50 pounds
might, therefore, lose about So pounds
before succumbing. Children die
after a fast Of from three to FIVE days,
during which they have lost aquarter
of their weight Healthy adults, how
ever, have tasted so days when water
has been taken. A German physician
reports the case Of woman aged A.
years who tasted for 43 days, taking
water freely. She lost A pounds out
of l43 pounds and died from exhaus-
ton.

A Talk on

Every man who has regard for his
pocketbook and wants to practice prac-

Those who patronize so-called "Sweli"

we know it is the easiest thing in the
world for us to convince them that we
can clothe them equally as good and for
