To Reduce Ones Weiqht.

The celebrated German physician
SchWeninger, who reduced Bismarck's S
weight nearly one hundred pounds, in
vented the system which bears his
name. 1t treats obesity from n differ
ent standpoint than that of diet alone
1t aims to improve the condition of the
| heart and liver, which often have a
tendency to disease in feshy people
1t has no cut-and- dried rules, as is the
case with most systems, but is adapted
to individual conditions. In some
| cases sugar and farinaceous foods are
allowed in moderation, while in others
they are strictly prohibited.
The great advantage of the
SchWeninger system over all others is
that the reduction is permanent. The
| reason is that the axe has been laid at
| the root of the trouble and the diseased
tendency to undue fat production has
been fundamentally checked.
According to Schweningor, all watery
articles of diet should be avoided as
| far as possible. Thin beef and mutton
soups are allowed. OF bread and fari-
naccous foods only six ounces a day
are permitted. These six ounces con-
| sist of gluten or stale bread or dry
| toast. Water may be taken in moaera-
| ton between meals. Fat soups, sauces,
| spices, cereals, macaroni, sweet pota-
toes, pastry, puddings, pies, cake and
milk are on the black list, tea and cof-
| fee with milk may be used. For des-
Serts fruit is recommended, the prefer
ence being given to grapes, oranges,
cherries, berries and acid fruits. In
the matter of vegetables, there is a
wide range given, squash, turnips, as
lparaGus, cauliflower, onions, celery,
Cress, spinach, tomatoes, radishes, let
tuce. and green's being permitted
The only medicines given during the
treatment are few drops of a liquid
preparation to be taken before meals
This treatment is not one of self
practice and can only be undertaken
under the guidance of a medical prac-
titioner. after a thorough physical ex-
animation which determines the lati-
tude in diet allowed, which is in turn
dependent upon the condition of the
vital organs. Exercise is made a factor
in the reduction Of flesh by this system
The patient is frequently made to
climb hills or ascend and descend
stairs daily given number of times to
improve the action of the heart. The
general health is almost invariably i'm
proved by the Scheninger system.
Enough hints may be CLEANED from
the above to enable those who are
verginG upon the lines of unbecoming
stoutness to keep within the desired
weight.-Ledger Monthly.

WAsHINGTON's SWORD.
Moncure Q. Conway Calls Attention to
Curious Incident.

Mr.. Moncure D. Conway, in discuss
ing the historical question as to
whether or not Frederick the Grea t
ever presented a sword to Washington,
writes to the New York Sun as fol-
lows:
Although the Washington sword at
Albany had no connection with Fred
ericll the Great there is d notable ep:-
sode of American history relating to it
which | desire to note. The sword is
one of the five swords bequeathed by
Washington to his five nepheWs with
out particulariZing about any, as he
would naturally have done had either
been the gift of Frederick the GreaD.
This dress sword was chosen by Bush
rod Washington, at his death passed
to his brother Corbin, thus inherited by
Colonel Lewis Washington, of Bel Air,
near Harper's Ferry. Probably be-
cause of its ornamental character the
old legend invested this sword, and in
the absence of any inscription the
family tradition was that the gift had
been accompanied by verbal message
From the oldest General in the world
to the greatest
when John Brown was planning his
invasion of Harpers Ferry he sent q
spy (Cook) there, who Informed him
that at Bel Air there was sword sent
by Frederick the Great to General
Washington. When the raiders ar
rived Brown was SO anxious to get holG
of that sword that he sent six of his
men off to Bel Air, four or five miles
to capture it. Colonel Lewis Washing
ton, captured at the same time, said il
his testimony that Brown said he
wished to get hold of the sword be
cause it had been used by two success
ful generals That sword he held ir
his hand during the whole of Monday.
"By dctachinS six of his men to get
that dress sword-presumably never
worn in any battlefield-John Brown
wasted the greater part of the only day
| in which he and his men might have
| escaped. Seventeen lives were sacri.
| feed TO a mere myth. The tremendou.
result of those 'martyrdoms,' due t.
John Browns superstition, is one NOR,

What 'He Would Have Done.
(St. Louis Republic.)

(St. Louis Republic)
a short, heavily built man rushed north
along Eighteenth street and hailed an
Oilve street car, which had just began
to move west from the Eighteenth street
crossing. The conductor paid no atten-
ton to the gesticulations and cries of the
belated individual. The latter rushed
through the mud after the car bearing a
heaVy valise, but was unable to overtakc
the car. Angered at the conductors re-
fusai to wait for him. the almost breath
less man roared
D You, if | We're aboard that car

standers laughed guardedly. while the
belated one, unconscious of his bull, lean
ed against an electric light pole to catch
his breath and the next car.

COMMON SYMPTOMS
Of KIDNEY DISEASE,

Do you know that kidney trouble
has been responsible for more deaths
than any other disease
Do you know whether YOU are in
clined to, or have kidney disease
Have you ever tried the simple and
unfai!ing test of setting aside your
urine in q bottle or vessel for twenty
four hours ?
II your heart is aching badly have
you ever thought that it may be due
to kidney trouble as is often the case I?
1t would be wen to find out. Set urine
aside for twenty-four hours; sediment
or settling is convincing evidence of
kidney trouble.
If your heart trouble is due to kidney
trouble, Smiths Buchu Lithia Kidney
Pills, the great kidney and bladder
remedy, will be found most excellent.
II you need medicine you should have
the best. A few doses will help but
that is not ala few boxes will cure.
Overwork and the shaking and Jar
ring Of travel will tire ont the kidneys.
Each move of the body means work
for-the kidneys.
Jolting on the train, bicycle riding
or any hard work, means just that much
more work.
Tired kidneys do not necessarily
mean diseased kidneys - they need rest
or help neglecting them means dis
ease That tired, dragging ache in tho
small Of the back is cry for rest.
Sometimes rest is impossible. If you
can't rest, help nature by using Smiths
Buchu Lithia Kidney Pills.
If the kidneys are clogged the pills
will remove the obstruction; IL they
are only tired with overwork the pills
will act as tonic on the kidneys and
other vital organs. -a
They viii cure the backache of the
traveller or railroad man.
BOSTON, November 27, 1900.
W. F. SMITH, Esq,
Dear Sir-I cannot speak too highly in praise
of Smiths Buchu Lithia Kidney Pills. as they
have done me q vast amount of good. For
several weeks suffered terribly from Lun-
bago, and expended great deal of money in
experimenting on cure, but failed to find any
thing of merit until commenced taking your
pills. 1 got relief from the start, and within a
few days was able to resume work. The dis
ease has wholly left me and am at your SER
vice in speaking a good word for the pills.
Wishing you the success you deserve, am,

Treatment.

Ben Cooper Sent to Pasteur Institute For
Treatment.
Ben Cooper, living near the foot OF
Lake koshkonong, had dog that about
a month ago became irritable and cross
and after biting his neighbors' children
Mr.. Cooper and several of his cows, the
dog was reluctantly killed. Nothing
more was thought of the incident until
recently three of the cows that were
bitten have died with symptoms that
point very strongly toward hydrophobia,
Another COW is still sick and DR.. Rob-
erts, the state veterinary, has been called
to investigate and determine if possible
the true nature of the disease. Mr..
Cooper fears that in skinning the dead
COWS that he might possibly be inoculat-
ed with the virus or that the bite of the
dog may result in hydrophobia and is a
dood deal alarmed over the situation.
Under the advice of DR.. McManus Mr..
Cooper will go to the Pasteur Institu tie
IN Chicago for treatment next week.

GAINESVILLE Boy Drowned.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance week ago of Willie Gokey, the
ten-year- old son of Mrs. Mary Gokey of
GAINESVILLE, was cleared away on Monday
by the discovery of the body in the river
Monday morning the boy, his tenth
birthday being on Wednesday last left
home ostensibly to go to school at the
Grant building. He and another brother
got to the school building but Willie did
not go in as he was not credited with at
tendance. Since then, until his body
was discovered Monday, no trace of him
could be found. The body was discov-
cred by Fent Rockwell, who delivers for
Tarrant & Osgood He was driving
across the bridge and saw it floating
down the stream, about midway between
the banks. He fastened over the bridge
and secured the assistance of w. F. Hill
and in boat they went after the body;
which was brought to the shore, and F..
T. Williams phoned to the east side fire
station for the patrol
When found the boy was fully dressed,
which precludes any possibility of his
having been bathing, so he must have
fallen into the river somewhere above
Jackson street bridge. The features of
the boy were considerably distorted and
the face and body were terribly bloated.
The mother was completely Frustrated
over the sad misfortune which befell her
son, and added to the mental strain of
