THE CAUSE OF FATIGUE.

The fatigue felt after muscular exertion
is chiefly due TO the formation within the
muscles themselves OF certain nitrogenous
poisons which are the result Of chemical
action going on and which have a para
lying action on the muscular fbres.
These poisons are formed by the breaking
up OF certain reserve materials which ex-
ist In the muscles without actually form
ing an essential portion OF them. When
these reserve materials are thus split UP
they give out energy which may be avail
able as a source of heat or as cause Of
motion. They accumulate in the tissues
OF persons who lead sedentary lives and
when such people take much exercise they
are very liable to an attack of gout or
feverish prostration, owing TO the sudden
accumulation within the blood of too
many waste products for the kidneys TO
remove al once. The immunity from fa-
tigue possessed by those who are con-
tinually exercising is due TO the fact that
these reserved ma terials have been grad
ually removed during the course of train
ing and little remains capable OF produc-
ing gouty poisons when much exercise Is
taken.

In the Realm of Those
Who Wear the Skirts
DO YOU DIET?

A low diet deprives the system OF its
proper nourshment-impairs the diges-
tion. by accustoming the stomach to
digest merely certain kinds Of food. and
these only in small quantity-weakens all
the organs. which should be continually
supplied with rich blood what is
most important Of all. not only fails TO
assist the eliminating organs TO get rid
of waste products. whose presence in any
considerable quantity in the system is
alone sufficient TO cause i'll health, but
actually renders the actions OF such or
gans still more sluggish. Again, the re-
duction of flesh by minimizing the supply
of food has the disadvantage of being but
temporary; and can be maintained for
even a short time only by rigorous abb
stinence which is disagreeable. unnatural
and hurtful.-G. Elliott Flint in Dieting

written law" and who will not be influenced in
reaching verdict by those principles.
These principles have come into existence as
the result of the experience of womankind with
man, and they require little codihcation or defni-
ton.
1t was the unwritten law that saved General
Daniel L. Sickles, and New York has recently fur
nished two instances in which its potential opera
tion cannot be questioned
Josephine Terranova, who murdered her uncle
and aunt, was acquitted by jury, and Bertha
Claiche, who deliberately killed the man who had
for years held her in shameful bondage escaped
with trifling penalty. In the south today this
"unwritten law" exerts power equal to that OF
any written statute.
This is wrong, OF course. The written law,
as the Sun observes, is fully adequate to the pro-
lection of society and the members of it, It's orderly
processes should be maintained and no man should
be permitted TO become law unto himself
Nevertheless the stubborn fact remains that
the "unwrtten law" dictates the action of many
otherwise law-respecting citizens; and it will be in
no way surprising if it proves sufficiently powerful
to obtain for Thaw much lighter penalty than
that of death in the electric chair

THAW AND THE "UNwRIrTEN LAW"

In the course of its discussion of the case the
Sun says Those who have notion that the case
OF the murderer OF Stanwood White ought to be
tried under what they are accustomed to call the

the provisions OF any unwritten code, have drifted

THE MARCH OF REFORM.

Revolt against boss rule is spreading. The
people coming to realize more fully than they
did before the mischief and peril of political
dictatorship. They are rousing themselves from
the apathy and passivity that made boss domna-
tion possible, and are preparing to crush it out
under the irresistible power of their ballots.
A few days ago it was Pennsylvania that fur
nished an example of the earnestness and deter
minaton of the people to overthrow ring rule and
establish decent government in the Keystone state.
Sincere members OF the Republican party, no
longer able to tolerate in silence and inaction the
tnonstrous evil and corruption of the Quay machine,
severed the bonds that bound them and nominated
as an independent candidate for governor a man
of proven capacity, known integrity and demon
btrated courage.
The decent element of the Democracy which
means the majority of the Democracy in Pennsyl-
Nania, in anger and disgust at the treachery and
venaty OF the mercenary Guffey ring that had used
the party organization basis Of barter and sale
in its corrupt connvance with the Quay machine,
endorsed the nominee of independent Republicans,
thus forming fusion party that unless all signs
are misleading, will succeed in smashing beyond
the possibility of repair the magn Quay machine
and its maodorous ally, the Guffey ring
Now it is the people of Vermont who take their
place in the procession of reform. Vermont has
been and is under the domination of a gang of
Republican ringsters unscrupulous and as cum
ming that which fosted the notorious ripper
legislation Pennsylvania and throtted represent
ative government here in Rhode Island
Vermont's honest Republicans have renounced
party obligations and joined forces with the
Democracy. A fusion ticket has been nominated
upon which both parties are equally represented by
strong, capable and fearless men and the triumph
of political decency and honesty seems not far off
In the Green Mountain state
Rhode Islands awakening has been slow but
she is thoroughly awake at last to the enormty of
the outrages and abuses to which she has been sub

1t is no spasmodic outburst of reform senti-
ment that is responsible for the present uprising
of the decent citizenship. 1t is no sporadic impulse
that moves the people to throw off party ties and
unite in militant but harmonious spirit for the
crushing of the common enemy-Braytonism
The present reform movement in this common
wealth is the result of quickenng of the civic
conscience, of fuller realization OF the infamous
conditions long prevailing here and of the un-
rhangeabe conviction that decent government and
sinister Braytonisn cannot co-exist in Rhode
Island.
Law-loving and loyal citizens are enlisted
under the banner of reform with but one aim and
one aspiraton-to crush Braytonisn forever That
accomplished, they know that representative gov
ernrrent, so long unknown will be reestablished in
the state never again to be subverted and banshed
by the malevolent Vaccinations of Braytonism.
