Meals and Weight

1t has been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
hghter after meal, and they have
even gone the length OF explaining this
by the amount Of gas that Is developed
from the food. Average o6servati
however, show that we lose 3 pounds q
ounces between night and morning;
that we gain l pound j. ounces by
breakfast; that we again lose about II
ounces before lunch; that lunch puts
on an average OF n pound; thar we
again lose 10 ounces, but that an ordi-
nary dinner to healthy persons adds .
pounds = ounces TO their weight.

ACTS ON NEW
COURT RULING
Judge ]. Ellsworth Grants a
Divorce, Treating Final
Decree as an InterlOcutOPy
CUTS SHORT LONG WAIT
Absolute Judgments of Year
Ago Will Be Confirmed
Upon Proper Application
Oakland Office San Francisco Cali,
1016 Broadway. Feb. 20.

1016 Broadway, Feb. 20.
Basing his ruling on the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the
Claudius case, Judge Ellsworth
granted a final decree Of divorce to
Bruce McGregor from Gertrude Nc
Gregor to-day. treating a final decree
of divorce granted more than year ago
as an interlocutory decree. In the case
cited an appeal was taken by Attor-
ney Asa V. Mendenhall from a decision
by Judge Melvin, in which he refused
TO so consider a final decree granted
by him during the time certain Judges
considered the present law unconsti-
tutional. Mendenhall took the matter
TO the higher court and won his point
and is now awaiting the return of
Judge Melvin from the East to get his
decree.
The ruling of Judge Ellsworth this
morning is the first of the kind made
III this county in regard to these cases
and it is expected that other persons
will now take advantage of the de-
cision to cut short the wait of whole
year that ordinarily would have to
elapse between the granting of an in
terlocutory and final decree.
Lizzie J. McConahy was granted a
final decree of divorce to-day from
Harry Z. McConahy on the ground of
desertiOn. They were married in 1903
and he left her shortly afterward
