STOUT MANS TROUBLES.
Thoughtless Remarks That Make His
Life a Burden.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The tribulations of the stout man are
many and varied. First of all, he is the
his friends who knew him In the days of
his thinness, and who greet him with the
rising, inslnuating tone, why, you are
getting fat!' Until one gains an equa-
torial latitude that becomes conspicuous
he never learns how many really mar
row places there are in the usual walks
of life. When rotundity forces itself upon
him he finds himself continually cycling
doors and other passage ways with view
to successfully making the distance with
out an undue exhibition of awAwardness.
In other days he jumped lightly on and
off street cars, climbed Into high carts,
and ran nimbly up and down stairs, all
of which athletic diversions are now de-
MED him. To the truly sensitive fat
man-and what man Is not sensitive about
his size ?-the thoughtless quibs and jokes
of his fellows are like burning iron to his
soul. The true meaning of the weapon
of speech was never more keenly exem-
plihed than In that classic that has come
down to us from the days of Beau Brum-
nell and the Prince of Wales now King
Edward VII When Brummell wished to
make the most cutting and hurtful re-
mark about the King which was allowed
In that day he asked an acquaintance
who was walking with the Prince, who's
your fat friend?'
But there Is another and even greater
discomfort to (which the stout man Is put.
1t Is the common belief, and well found
ed say the physicians, that a stout per-
son Is more liable to succumb when at
tackled by that dread disease pneumonia
than the thin ones. This has given rise

There are now more than thirty yacan-
cies in the grade of assistant paymas.
ter in the navy. The examinations for po-
sitions of this class have proved so rigid
that last week the candidates who ap-
peared before the boards appointed to pass
upon their qualifications all failed to GET
through. The candidates all secured their
right to enter the examination through
political pull, and their failure has re-
suited in an important decision by the
Secretary of the Navy by which the ex-
animation is opened to competitive ex-
animation. 1t is now proposed to hold the
examinations in different cities through
out the country. and to invite candidates
to appear as is done in filing vacancies
in the corps of civil engineers and the
medical corps
In neither corps is ii found easy to get
candidates who can pass the examination,
and 1t appears to be no easier to get quail
fled candidates for the naval corps. The
examination which has just been held
In this city resulted in obtaining but one
candidate out of twenty-five authorized
to appear before the board. 1t has been
urged that it would be to the interest
of the service to have no Limitation placed
upon the candidates to the naval pay
corps, and that every possible advantage
should be given to have the candidacy
restricted no more than Is necessary by
law which only refers to age.

which we claim that Liquozone will help,
we assume the whole risk on two
months test with every patient who
asks 1t.
Before we bought the rights to Liquo-
zone, 1t had been tested Tor years in thou
sands of the most difficult cases obtain
able We found that diseases which had
resisted medicine for years yielded at
once to it. Sickness which had been pro-
nounced incurable was cured.
The value of the product was placed
beyond possible question, before we staked
our fortunes and regulations on 1t. 1t
was amply proved that, in germ troubles,
Liauozone did what medicine could not
do.
Then we gave the product away-gave
millions of bottles one to each of millions
of sick ones.
We, have published no testimonials; no
evidence of cures. We have never asked
a soulNto buy It.
Our method has been to buy the first
bottle ongselves; to let the sick try 1t
without the cost OF penny; TO let The
product itself prove its power.
Most of you know the result. There Is
no neighborh ood--no hamlet so remote
but knows 4ome wonders which Liquo-
zone has wrought.
And Liqtidkone Is probably doing more
to cure sickness, and to prevent 1t, than
all drugs, all medicines combined.
How petty Is that self-interest which
would haH you go back to the old meth
ods-to the days before Liquozone! Back
to the time when the very cause of dis
ease was unknown. or when no one knew
how to meet IT.

to system of persecution of the stout
man that Is narrowing In the extreme
Whenever the man of embonpoint emits
little cough or inadvertently complains
of feeling badly, his friends at once como
to him with the consoling remark "Old
man, you had better look out for your
self. You know that persons go quickly
when they get pneumonia"
The dread OF pneumonia Is natural
enough, but IL is an unwholesome condi-
ton OF the mind. As matter of fact
fat people are no more liable to contract
this disease than thin ones. Little colds
and slight indispositions are not necessa-
rily indicative of pneumonia symptoms
The exercise of care and proper attention
to the physical condition will protect the
fat man as well as the thin man from
pneumonia. 1t is when the disease is
once contracted that the fat mans
chances go a-glimmering because OF his
fullbloodedness, which favors congestion.
All should remember that at this sea-

Costly VISITING Cards.

From the New York Press.
An enterprising young engraver in this
city has forwarded to President Loubet,
of the French republic, 500 beautiful visit
ing cards of his own manufacture, just
TO let him see what an American firm
can do in the way of competing with
Partisan genius. Paris has long had the
monopoly of the manufacture of the visit
ing cards of nearly all the sovereigns OF
heads of state in Europe. M. Loubet
himself uses about 5000 cards a year
which must cost him at least $780, This
is new field of American endeavor
which may lead to big results.
It is said that King Edward VII uses
some $4,000 cards a year, or ten times as
many as President Loubet. He holds the
record in that respect. After the British
monarch comes the unhappy Gar of all
the Russias. The German Emperor is
more economical. Francis Joseph of
Austria has on his card a list of no fewer
than 20 titles. President Roosevelt uses
