ECONOMY WON BRIDE
HAPPY RESULTS OF MIR. YoST,S
 FIFTEEN-CENT DIET.
1t Not Only Gave Him Back Health and Untroubled Sleep, But Also Centered Upon Him the
 Love of a Wise Maid.

Many a man has won bride because of his money. Many husband has his wife because he made clear to her in advance that life with him would be one long gastronomic feast spread and maintained regardless of expense.
 But Lewis Yost, IT., is an exception. He won his bride because he knew how to live on 15 cents a day. She was Miss Mary Lallie of St. Louis. Yost lives there, too, and is a worlds fair con- tractor. Life would have looked bright to Yost but for the Nemesis of indiges- tion. Everywhere it pursued him. To counteract its dread ravages Yost began the study of diet
 Starting merely as medical precau- tion, he became an enthusiast over the new style of eating, and discovered that not only had it cured his indigestion. but that he had found means of so reducing his table expenses that they nearly ceased to be an item in his bills.
 He went to board at the home of Miss Lallie~
 She was attracted to the young man, but marveled at his habits of life. Why, he doesn't eat anything" she confided to one of her friends. Her own preference in the eating line ran to the solids meats. vegetables, etc. 1t puz- zled her to figure out how this sturdy young man could keep his vitality on a diet that seemed insufficient to sup port life for a child.
 One day after they became well ac- quainted she questioned him, and even suggested that he might be wiser to con- form more closely to the generally ac- cepted menu.
 why, my dear young woman" said MT. Yost, T can live on 15 cents day, derive more benefit, and enjoy better health than you on your hearty course dinners. r

England,s Fishing Industry.

The extent of the fishing industry in the west of England is not recognized by the casual observer, but it is never theless very large Last year the ves- sels engaged in fishing in England numbered 8,254, and afforded employ ment to some 41,539 men; their ton- mage was 160,096 tons. The fisheries of Devon and Cornwall accounted for 2,097 vessels of 23,010 tons and the em- ployment of 8,059 men.
