Slightly Incorrect.

A week ago we published an
item going the rounds telling
how Peter B. Atwell, of Cadiz,
had tested the ground hog wealth
er theory. The Cadiz Republican
also publishes the story and then
adds: "The only thing wrong
about this story is that there is
no Peter B. Atwell; besides, he is
not the least bit eccentric, and
never lived at Cadiz. He never
captured a ground hog; IN fact,
he never saw a ground hog, and
would not know one If he saw it.
He didn't keep the animal in a
box in a closet, and the animal
never went out to the window sill
on the I'd of February to wait for
the sun to rise. Even after the
sun rose it didn't go back and
sleep six more weeks. After the
six weeks were up it did not
come out of its nest wide awake
and 60 out to the apple orchard
on the hill. There is no apple
orchard there, and there is no hill
on Peter B. Atwell's farm at
Cadiz; where he does not live and
never did live. "

But it makes a man miss all fun

TIL. HOWE ITS PROBLEMS IND INTERESTS
HOW TO REDUCE WEIGHT

"a successful reduction of weight
which came under my observation
said a physical culture teacher, was
that of q noted platform speaker.
AT forty years old her bulk greatly
interfered with her work. Being
woman of determination, she set about
getting rid OF the burden. and at the
end of a month the scales showed a re
duction Of four pounds, while NJ the end
of six months she had reduced her
weight twenty-five pounds. When tell
ing me OF her success she remarked that
she had never felt better. and she looked
it. This is the way it was done:
breakfast was omitted, and the time
usually spent over that meal was used
in the air, taking a brisk walk. on get
ting out of bed In the morning a quick
sponge bath in cold water was followed
by n brisk rundown. Then, clad IN
short walking skirt. soft felt hat, and
comfortable shoes. she started out and
walked briskly for half an hour, by her
watch. On returning home she engaged
in her regular occupations until i
O'Clock, when a little luncheon was
eaten. This consisted of n small cupfui

chops. one vegetable. but never pota-

fruit or a green salad.
"A moderate amount of water was
drunk during the day, but no liquids
were taken at meals. Rich, greasy
foods. fat meats sweets, and cereals,
except in very small quantities. were
strictly tabooed at all times. She con-
fessed thai for the first time she felt
the need of brea RfaSt greatly. ana 10

a glass of hot water slipped slowly on
returning from the walk.

Laundry Work
Is Now Supreme

The real queen Of the kitchen these
days is not the woman who can cook,
but the woman who can "do up" shirt
waists in laundry style.
With the widespread knowledge Of
cooking through classes and ''WOmau's
page recipes, as well as the numbers
Of cooked or partly cooked articles found
on the market. the question OF feeding
the family Is not 50 serious as one as in
the days Of our mothers and grand
mothers, when anything but home
made viands were looked upon askance.
Now the great problem is the getting
up Of fine linen, especially where the
household is largely feminine. one
would think that the numerous laua-
dries Of a great city would provide a
way out OF the difficulty. They certain
~ could. wee II not for the innate
economical tendencies Of the average
woman and the extravagant wear and
tear" Of the laundries.
The price OF laundering a shirtwaist
is anything between 10 and 30 cents ac-
cording to the status of the washing
establishment and the amount of frills
upon the garment. Two days is the
natural life Of its freshness sometimes
It can be stretched out to three. but the

to 81 for this one item alone. That is
why the average woman, looking for a
general housewo1ker. lays much more
stress upon the fact that she must be a
| good laundress than that she IS TO be a
good cook.
All other Shortcomings are condOned

Many PerilS Along the Route

AS Illustrating the cupidity Of the ma
tives and the iow estimate they place on

He was spotted" and that night the
authorities told the pair they would
better decamp il they didn't want 10 be

at midnight and, though pursued, they
eluded capture.
Mrs. Sperber says the satages were
more worthy Of trust than the half
civilized tribes nearer the settlements.
The travellers unite IN saying the west

possibilities are not promising.

RIDING ASTRIDE

Periodically one hears rumOrs that the
fashionable folk are going to ride astride
in public Lots Of women are doing IL
right along I'm the country, especially
where they ride 10 hounds but il re-
mains for some bold devotee Of the FASH
ion 70 make 1t popular for the city.
After all, It isn't quite so necessary
when the exercise is Of such a quiet
uneventful nature as park riding be-
comes, but every woman who does
cross-country riding and runs the
chances Of jumping fences and brooks
should by all means adopt the divided
skirt and boomers. As an example Of
the advisability Of this, one has only
TO watch the riders in the circus and
compare the grace and ease with which
men 90 up and over with their mounts
with the manner in which a horse car
rying a woman gets over the Obstruc~
ton. AS a matter OF fact. il isn't so
much the way the horse and rider rise
as Il Is how they come down. for in
variably the man makes a clean, grace
full leap with his beast and drops on
the other side OF the fence without a
swerve or break. whereas horses bur
dcned by women sitting In side saddles
give a little involuntary twist as they
descend that is entirely due TO the un-
evenness Of weight. Their horses never
seem 20 90 at a fence so straight or
take II with the same precision and
accuracy as when the weight they carry
is evenly divided. Eow. If women riders
wore divided habits there would not Do
this very noticeable difference, which
Is a great disadvantage as we'll
There is a rumor that riding astridc
Will be popular for all occasions this
summer.

ECONOMICAL HINT FOR
PROSPECTIVE EaIDES

For the bride who cannot AFFORD to
lay her wedding gown aside after the
ceremony. but who wishes 10 make
use OF Il as an evening gown, an ex-
cellent idea IS 10 have the very long
train, which all wedding gowns should
have made go that II can be easily de-
tached, and not ruin the tout ensemble
OF the costume If the train is either
Of satin or lace, II may be fastened to
fan from the shoulders. and In this way
be entirely separate from the rest OF
the gown. and very easily removed when
desired.
