is all right, if you are too fat;
and all wrong if too thin already.
Fat, enough for your habit, is

There are many causes of get

under these two heads: over
work and under-digestion.
Stop over-work, if you can;
but, whether you can or not,
take Scott's Emulsion ofCod

with your work. You can't live
on it-true-but, by it, you
can. There's a limit, however;

your doing no work--you can't
long be well and strong, without

position is expected to attract immense
crowds OF visitors from the continental
countries Of Asia. in addition to the mill

Mr.. Warmers Statement.

Referring to the general project of the en-
campment, Mr.. Warner chairman of the
citizens committee, said this morning after
the conference:
Our executive committee was opposed to
promising free quarters to any one. That
would have required the expenditure of a
large amount Of money, and as SO much
had been done in 1892 for the entertainment
Of the encampment a large number of our
citizens were opposed to 1t.
"The executive committee Of the Grand
Army has assumed charge of this question
and the citizens committee will have moth
Ing to do with 1t. Our committee will fur
nish headquarters for the different depart
ments and tents for camp fires, as we did
before.
II have been naturally reluctant about
accepting position entailing SO much time
and labor, but feel sure that the encamp-
ment will be great success and largely
benefit our city. l have felt that we could
not again give up our school houses for
any organization. We can entertain any
number of visitors comfortably from 81
per day upward
1T must be borne in mind that many
Grand Army men are wealthy and at the
head Of large business establishments, and,
as a rule, members Of this organization are
in which they dwell. There are exceptions,
however, as there are with all member
ships. l suppose there will be at least 15O-
coo strangers in the city during the en-
I'VE shall have many new features and
attractions. Washington has largely gained
it's reputation and popularity from conven-
tions and such assemblages. and I know
that as it has been decided to hold the en-
campment here it will receive a cordial
public support and the hospitality OF the
nations capital will be maintained"
Fund Necessary.
1t is generally agreed that the fund Of
$5O, 900 agreed upon by the citizens commit
tee is ample for the entertainment of the
veterans. If $4,000 is expended by dona-
ton to the quartermaster general, the sum
left the city for the other needs of the en-
campment will be $4,000. Out of this lat
ter fund must be provided the grand stands.
the street decorations, the entertainment of
the comma ander- -in-chief and his staff, the
expenses Of the parade. meeting places for
the several corps associations and camp
fires, printing and miscellaneous expenses.
It is thought these can be met with some
thing over $4,000, which would leave the
citizens committee what it regards as
rather a small working margin, but one
which will bs sufficient If economically ad-
ministered. But these details will more
intelligently discussed after tomorrow
mornings meeting of the two committees.

INCREASE IN FARM ANIMALS.
Census Bulletin on Sheep, Horses and
Cattle

A bulletin was issued by the census bu-
reau today on the domestic animals on
farms and ranges. By that showing the
total value OF all such animals on farms
and ranges June 1, 1900, was S29s1 ,Oo4. 115,
as compared with the total value Of all live
stock reported in 1890 Of So. 2OS, ,767 ,513. The
value of all domestic animals in 1900 was,
therefore, 35 per cent greater than that Of
all live stock ten years before. There was
a gain In all Of the five grand divisions Of
the nation, with the exception Of the North
Atlantic In that division the value de-
creased from $313, ,902, 5O4 to 1905 1860. $50, or
2.s per cent This decrease was caused by
dininution in the number Of horses, sheep
and swine with insufficient increase in the
other animals to offset the same.
In the South Atlantic division the value
Of domestic animals increased from $161,-
e31 sol in 1890 to s1s4 152, 273 in 1900, gain
OF 1879 per cent. In the north central d.
vision the value inc,} }.ased from 81 1875, ,248.-
262 to 81, 500, 308. .4s7 gain Of 27.1 per cent
In the south central the increase was from
1851 O2s, ,s2s, to $59S.255,6s7. gain OF 7O4
per cent. In the western states the In
crease was from S1S6,95S,11 to 1851, 453, 3J3
a gain Of 93.3 per cent
iowa leads all the states in the total
value Of it's live stock. while Texas ranks
second. The former has an investment Of
live stock of S271 ,844 O34 and the latter has
S2a6 ,227, ,434 Texas has, however the great
est number Of neat cattle, mules and goats
but the average value Of these and other
animals being less tnan In Iowa. the pre-
eminence In Value rests with the latter
named state.
The census secured no reports concerning
the value Of animals not on farms. They
greater than the animals on farms and
ranges since the greater number are To-
Gated in states having the highest average
farm values. Allowing, however the same
have a value OF $215, ,1e2, ,92s. It becomes
probable, therefore, that all the domestic
animals in the United States have a value
Of at least $3, 200 100000, of which the value
over 90 per cent, and those not on farms I
