CRAZE FOR GETTING THIN
Prominent British Physician De-
nounees the Propaganda of
Dietetic Ascetism."

London, Sept. 1S.-Sir James erich
ton-Browne, in delivering the presi-
Dental address at the annual meeting
of the Sanitary Inspectors association
at LlandunO. referred to the English
meat supply, and urged the abolition of
private slaughter houses and the pro-
Viding abbatoirs and central Office
for meat inspection. Then people no
longer would find prize Christmas fat
beef absolutely filled with generalized
tuberculosis.
He added: IF Chicago has its Jun
gle, London has it's dismal swamp"
In another part of his address, the
eminent physician denounced what he
described as the prevalent craze for
getting thin.
on all hands," he said, ''the cry is
that we eat too much. So fierce in
some quarters is the propaganda of
dletetic aseetism that in dread of be-
ing suspected of gluttony, people only
indulge their healthy appetite in Sc
cret."
This craze, Sir James declared, was
producing a debility which sufferers
therefrOm were seeking TO combat by
indulgence in alcohol and narcotics"

TayIor's Revolver Tale.
Taylor testified that he was serving
three months sentence for a petty crime

some diamonds hidden at McCammon and
wanted to get out and secure them After
wards Taylor said that McNeFney gave
Jail trusty so with which to purchase
revolver for him. and the next day gave
the trusty $50 more in order that Williams
and Taylor could both have reVolvers,
Williams being McNerney's partner at
the time of the arrest The deal fell
through. however as the tTusty took oc-
the $50. and the authorities have not been
able to locate him since.

A Faithful Fire horse.

The late Chief Meminger, of the NIL
waukee fire department told of the
devotion of a horse he once had It
was at one of the large fires in the
south side of the city, The chief was
among the first to arrive He hitched
his horse to a telegraph pole and
then ran TO a large open doorway from
which dense smoke was pouring. He
plunged into the smoke and ran
down a wide corridor and half way
up a stairway to find where the heart
OF the fire was, At the first landing
he met the flames which turned him
back. Cropping his way, he came TO
the foot of the stairs, where he was
surprised to find horse and buggy,
II proved to be his own horse, which
had broken loose and followed it's
master down the alley, through the
door and then down the corridor.
