CAREFUL WHAT YOU DRINK.
Fat Persons Should Not Imbibe Too
Much Water.

Fat Persons Should Not Imbbe Too
Much Water.
The idea is that water fattens and
that all mineral waters tend to this
also. Tea, coffee and every kind of
liquid sour or sweet, feeds the hungry
tissues and the weight increases.
Women who practice in a gymna.
SUM hour and then rush off to drink
a glass Of cold water will never grow
thin. Water is necessary and the
stomach should have a pint, at least a
day of it, or of some other LIQUID that
answers the purpose. But the woman
who is too fat is in the habit of drink
ing two glasses Of water every few
minutes in the day. And when she
goes out into the street she gets an
ice cream soda and winds up her
shopping tour with a phosphate or
two, says the Louisville Courier-Jour-
NAL. .~.
These things are supposed to be
bad for the stomach, but experience
will prove that they are not really
harmful. There is nothing about ice
cream soda that Injuries the digestive
organs. The only objection to it for
the woman who is reducing is that it
makes her, fat. = ,..zs> ~. 4

WHAT MOST IMPRESSED HIM.

How Young Moody Came to Admire
Fortitude Of Stephen.
Paul D. Moody, son of the evangel-
list, was a class deacon and a power
OF righteousness in his class at Yale
1901. To his strength of character
were added companionable qualities
that made him very popular with his
fellows. "
One day Paul was induced to get
into the exhilarating game of 'nigger
Through conspiracy it deyolved
baby''-a favorite campus pastime
upon him to pay the rigorous penalty
OF the game, which consisted in
crouching against Alumni hall while
the other participants, fifty feet away
took three shots each at him with a
tennis ball. Great was the hope of
the Philistines that worldly, un.
deaconlike cry would burst from the
target at some stinging hit, but none
came. -" H., RI l..= -. ~. 1zs$ i -

REMARKABLE STROKE At GOLF.
Wonderful Feat Reported From the
:. North of Scotland.

Wonderful Feat Reported From the
:, North of Scotland.
Talking Of unique happenings in
golf, here is miracle from unpre-
tentious Clunny, in the north Of Scot
land. The tale runs:
A most remarkable, not to say
miraculous, stroke at golf was made
at Cluny castle ON Monday on the
nine-hole course recently made by
Sir Reginald Cathcart just outside the
castle walls. Mr. Matthew Best, an
employee at the castle, and a fellow
servant were playing from the fourth
hole when the former drove the ball
into the fifth hole.
1t being a rough sort of a course,
with abundance of long grass, a boy
was stationed to watch the balls. He
called out that the ball had gone into
the hole, but Mr.. Best thought at first
that the lad had meant rabbits bur-
row. T he boy was we'll within sight
OF the players and never nearer to

the left hand is a cure infallible But
of all these notions the most interest
ing and probably the most popular in
England is that known by the name of
the potato cure, as the London Globe
says. It is said that if a person suf-
fering from rheumatism will carry
potato about with him he will find
himself free from pain and distress.
1t is asserted that potato carried in
the pocket of a rheumatic person will
speedily become as, hard as a rock,
while in the keeping of a person free
from the complaint it remains in it's
ordinary condition. Therefore it would
appear as if the explanation Of faith
in this case does not apply-as it
would perhaps in the matter of
charms. so far as we know, science
has no pronounced Judgment on the
potato cure, but it would certainly be
interesting to obtain a scientific ex-

Embarrassing Mistake Made by a
Visitor to Hayti.
That the character of the frequent
revolutions in Hayti tends decidedly
toward opera bouffe is attested by a
story which has gained currency in
the navy department during the last
week. 1t emarated from a man who
held, unde-: one of the mushroom gov
errments of Hayti the post of admiral
of the Haytian navy, the same Office
held by Admiral Killick, who is re-
ported to have gone to the bottom
with his ship, the Crete-a-Pierrot,
when it was sunk by the German gun
boat Panther.
The admiral was standing in the
doorway of hotel in Port au Prince
in company with another American,
who was familiar with Haytian GUS
toms.
Down the main street came band
of negroes. They were ignorant look
ing and seemed little inclined to
march ahead, but were forced along
against their wills by the persuasive
powers of long black whips / in the
hands of brilliantly uniformed %zper-
sons, evidently officers of the Haytian
army. - ~ .@$f ~,

With reference to the petition
turned down by the board of county
commissioners for a road between
Willow Lake and Waterbury town
ships the county commissioners, at
their last meeting, and at the pres
ent time, are willing to order the
road, provided that the property
holders are willing to give enough
land for the purpose. The com
missioners have had more or less
experience in laying out these
county roads, and they have proved
an endless source of litigation and
great expense to the county
without any benefits accruing. L
the property owners are willing tt
comply with the requirements of the
commissioners the road will be laiC
out very quickly. Let the owners
go on record.
