AS a person is generally made thin by

responsible for indigestion and its attendant

he is overtaken by severe illness than a

emaciated state, he has very little or no

Exercise promotes digestion and deep

in contact. In this simple manner is the

why, Jones, you're looking very well, IN

any more. Bless us. but you're actually
getting fat.''
The proper physical culture movements
will make a thin man gain weight and take
on flesh simply by developing undeveIoped
and often long neglected muscles. While
some thin persons are naturally thin, the
majority are thin because they have not
given their bodies the proper grooming.

This means not only developing the muscles
by exercise. but taking good care of the
digestion as well. One who suffers from
improperly digested and assimilated food
cannot be otherwise than thin, because only
by perfect digestion can proper and suffi-
cient nourishment for the upbuiIding of
flesh and muscles be obtained from food.
Therefore, the man who Is thin should be
careful what he eats. He should see to 1t
at all times that he doesn't give his di-
gestive organs too little work to do by not
supplying them with sufficient variety Of
food, or throwing too much work on them

STRICT INQUIRY MADE
INTO SALE OF CIGARS

Clubs.

The Internal Revenue Service of The
Treasury Department is carrying 5ut In
vigorous fashion the regulation made
some weeks ago that cigar dealers must
sell cigars from the original boxes md
must destroy the box as soon as the
last cigar has been sold.
The regulation is intended to break up
a practice said to be common with stew
ards and walters of clubs in the large
cities of rehlling boxes originally con
tanning high-class brands OF cigars with
inferior brands, and then disposing of
the contents of the refilled boxes Under
the guise of the genuine article.
Deputy revenue collectors have can
vassed in Washington, as well as other
large cities, and made minute inquiries
at each club as to how cigars we're sold.
Where the custom has been for the
waiter TO carry a tray containing
small wicker basket filled with cigars of
different sizes and brands, the club Of
ficials have been informed that either
the whole box of cigars must be ten
dered the purchaser or that the member
must step to the cigar stand and there
take his selection Where the cigars
are sold to members directly by the
cleYk at the stand, IL is required that
the unsOld cigars must be returned to
the original boxes and the boxes de-
stroyed as soon as emptied.
The regulation has been objected TO
by some of the large clubs.

NEW CANAL MEASURE
EXCTTES NO ALARM
Substitute Bill Reported to Colombian Senate Regarded
"Btdnd'-No Official Dispatches ReceiDed.

DR.. Herran. Colombian representative
in Washington, has not received from
his government a draft of the new canal
bill which last nights dispatches say is
under discussion in the congress at Bo-
gotta. This new bill, according to the
dispatches, asks the United States Gov
ernment and the New Panama Canal
Company increased bonuses for a trans
fer of the concession now held by the
company.
The advices from Bogota say that the
terms of the new bill differ from the
Hay Herran treaty in that a demand
of $50, 600 900 instead of s1O,00O.000 is
made from the United States. and that
an additional $40 600 900 is asked from
the Panama Canal Company. The new
bill proposes also that the annuity to
be paid by the United States shall be
s4OO, 900 instead of $3.50 900. and that this
annuity shall be increased 25 per cent
at the end of each one-hundredyear
period.
Dr. Herran said to a Times representa-
tive this morning. the press dispatches
do not indicate that the senate had taken
action indorsing the new bill. but is
merely considering the plan advanced
by the special committee to which the
treaty was referred, after its disap-
provaI by the senate more than three
weeks ago. The news received last night
is the first information that the com
mittee had made its report to the
senate.
IT the State Department nothing had
been heard this morning of the new bill.
The department officials are not worry

prepare any answer until the reports
have been confirmed by Minister Beau

the Colombian senate is likely TO approve
the recommendations OF the special COM
mittee.
