METHODS OF REDUCING
THE SUPERFLUOUS FLESH
Natural Method Is to Put On Heavy Clothing and
Take Brisk Walks Daily.

cream or sugar a soft boiled egg and
bread thoroughly toasted.
Take Exercise Through the Day.
More exercise must be taken through
the day, but 1t need not be as violent as
the morning walk. For instance. tennis
or golf can be played.
Food that contains no starch or sugar
should'be taken through the day. Corn,
peas. caulifower. potatoes and rice should
not be eaten. Sugar must not be put on
fresh fruit. Thick soups are not to be
INDUCED in, and only a small quantity OF
thin ones. Except for this. no liquid
should be taken with the meals.
The Importance Of this last don't. cam
not be overestimated. for there is no feat
ure of the diet that will more quickly help
to take down flesh. Water-at least three
pints-shOuld be taken through the day.
The last drink should come half an hour
before a meal and then not another until
half an hour after dessert. This permits
the digestive fluids to do their work undi-
luted and the effect is marked.
Exercise Before Going to Bed.
Before going to bed physical exercise
should be taken and some simple move
ments. such as standing upright with
heels together. the arms raised above the
head and then brought down with a
sweeping motion. in an effort to touch
the floor with the finger tips without
bending the knees, Is also beneficial. Few
women accomplish this latter feat the
first time they try, but by persistently
keeping at it success will come. At the
beginning five times is enough to take
the exercise, but the number may be in
creased later.

EPISCOPAL NUNS OESER1IoN
SUPERIORS TO CONSIDER MOTH
Err EDITH'S CONVERSION.
Episcopalian Incident at Peekskill,
N. T., Made Subject of Special
Injury at Kenosha, Wis.

KEEOSHA. Wis, July IA conference
was held here yesterday OF the leading
members Of the Protestant Episcopal Or
der of the Sisters Of st. Mary to consider
the case of Mother Edith, superior gen.
eral of the order, who left the mother
house of the order at st. Gabriers School.
Peekskil1. \. Y. TO enter the Church of
Rome. The conversion followed the re-
cent transfer of allegiance of Dr. McGar-
vey. former pastor of the st. Eliza beth
parish of Philadelphia one of the most
notable Episcopal priests in the east. He
was chaplain general to the sisterhood.
The movement toward Rome is said TO
center in Nashota Seminary near Mil
waukee. many of whose students and in
structors have recently gone 10 the Ro-
man Church.
Mother Claire. provincial of the western
province. at yesterdays conference said
she could say that none Of her associates
would leave the Episcopal Church for
Rome. Mother Claire and Mother Cath
crime. in charge of the southern district.
Will probably both go to Peekskill to pre-
vent any further assertions from the Or
der among the nuns there. Mother Claire
it is believed here. will be chosen to sue
coed the mother superior.
Formal Notice of Change of Faith.
Mother Claire received notification yes
terday that Mother Edith had been for
mally received into the Roman Catholic
Church at Philadelphia last Saturday.
Mother Ediths conversion to Romanism
is causing one of the biggest sensations
ever known in the Episcopal Church. as
the mother superior general was a woman
of deep learning and of wide influence.
She was nominally the head of the work
of the sisterhood in all of the larger
cities of the country. of the schools of the
order. including Kenper Hall in kenosha.
st. GATHERINGS Hall at Davenport. Iowa;
st. Mary's Schools i'll New York, st. Ga
briefs School at Peekskin. n. Y. and ST
Mary's School at Memphis. Tenn. as we'll
as the great homes for children in Mem
phis. in New York and in Chicago.
For some time. said Sister Claire, "a
young chaplain has been working in the
school at PeekskilI. and We have learned
that he was a teacher Of Romanism His
teachings seem to have appealed espe-
cially to the mother superior general and
to such an extent that she has embraced
the Roman faith"
Shortly after the reception last May of
DR.. McGarvey and six associates OF the
Companions Of the Savior into the Cath
Ole Church. Mother Katharine Drexel.

Sacrament. and herself a convert, called
on DR.. McGarvey and rendered the hos
pitality of her community to such Episco-
pal nuns contemplated changing their
faith.
Three nuns from St. Gabriefs School ac-
cepted. They were Mother Edith and
Sisters Eliza and Marina. 1t is said that
the purpose of Mother Edith to quit
Peekskiil was unknown to her community
which was as consequence nearly de-
moralized upon hearing of her where
abouts.

HAVE KEEN EYE FOR BEAUTY.
Instinct Of Design Seems Planted In

When a Japanese cannot mold the

he has no control over its creation at
all, but 1t is placed in his hands as It
Is, finished, says the author OF "Ka-

beauty to 1t merely by arrangement.

steamer going out" says Mr.. Edwards.

the extra blanket on the berth in q
new design each day. He folded 1t
into lotus leaves and chrysanthemums,
into half-opened fans and half-shut
buds. He had one wonderful ar
rangement which, being patriotic, was
more often repeated than the rest.
The blankets Of the steamship COM
pany had at top and bottom two wavy
red lines on white ground. BY some
wonderful twist Of his fingers the boy
would fold that blanket into the rising
sun, with the four red lines coming
out of 1t like blood-red rays He did

DEFENSE OF THE srINeY MAN.
Wherein We Differs Occasionally from
the Good Fellow"

They say am stingy. All right,
let 1t go at that: / AM stingy. But
did you ever hear that was dead
beat? There was time when /
threw my money away. and stood off
my creditors, In order that might be
known as good fellow, but now
save my money and pay my debts.
There was time when spent ten
dollars in an evening, cumming around
with the boys. and owed the tailor
for the clothes on my back; when
went riding every Sunday with a liv-
cry rig. and did not pay my board;
when ! thought 1t an evidence Of
smartness to buy cigars and drinks
for other people, but now think it
an evidence of sound sense for man
to save the money for which he is
compelled to work, in order that he
may realize something from 1t. For
this am called stingy, but can stand
1t; In fact, rather enjoy the title, for
there are so many shiftless fools in
this town who imagine that they are
good fellows, hoping to realize on
their wanton waste of money, that I
am glad | cannot be classed among
them. Ask the bill collectors about
the good fellows. = The bill col
lectors will tell you story worth
listening to and they will also tell you
that the stingy men pay promptly.
There are lot of old good fellows in
Atchison who have not money enough
to bury them. and there are stingy fell
lows in Atchison who began life under
more unfavorable circumstances than
the good fellows, and the stlngy fel.
lows are rich. | recommend that the
young fellows deserve the name of be-
ing stingy, for a stingy man seldom
stints himself or his family. but he
often refuses to throw his hard-earned
money away, and very properly. A
stingy man is seldom bothered for
donations and. altogether. I like the
name. -(Found among the papers OF
an Atchison man who died rich)-

a special color process. In addition
the notes are to present pictures OF
well-known buildings in Spain, exc

Soy Originated Safety Pin.

"Tt e originator of the safety-pin,'
said ,r historian OF inventions, was
litti, 10Y, an English blacksmiths
son.
THE little boy--Harrison by name

The baby often cried, and its tears
were usually to be traced to pin pune
lures. The boy nurse tried a long
time to bend pins into such form
that they could be used with safety to
his brothers flesh.
in this he failed; hut his father,

of the idea the lad had been at work
on, took it up on his own account, and
eventually turned out the safety-pin

MISSING LINK IN ARGENTINA.
vertebrac Classed as Oldest Human
Femair3 Found in the New World.


The Oldest human remains on the
American continent have been discov-
cred in the Argentine republic. Some
four or five years ago vertebra was
dug up in the neighborhood of Monte
Hermoso and deposited in the museum
of La Plata. There II attracted the
attention Of the director. a German.
Herr Lehmann.Nitsche. He recog-
nized 1t as having strong resemblances
to human cervical or neck vertebra
and also some relation to the bones of
the higher apes. without exactly CORE
spending with either.
Then he compared II with some other
bones In the collection. and the result
of his study was the hypothesis of a
new type, neither human nor ape, but
related to both. The curve of the
spine indicated by the bones sug-
gested an animal that walked upright,
but the size and formation Of the
bones made it clear that the head
they supported was small and light,
with very small brain capacity.
The remains resemble certain bones
Of primitive race of men found in
Java more closely than any other non
human or near human specimens.
They represent altogether the Oldest
type OF humanity, II human they are,
ever found in the western continent.

Country schoolnaster Of the Early
Days Of America.

Apropos of the country schoolmas-

old manuscript in the New Jersey
Historical society contains the follow
ing characteristic anecdote:
"A travelling person coming into a
country neighborhood where was a
vacant schoolhouse offered himself as
a teacher. The neighbors convened to
examine into his abilities. He was
asked what branches he could teach.
Almost any was the answer. He
could instruct children how to read
without first learning to spell, to write
without first making marks, and 1t
was Indifferent to him in what rule
they first commenced arithmetic.
Are you acquainted with mathemat-
les, sir?' was the next question. Sup
posing some great literary character
was meant, the fellow assumed an air
Of great Importance and quickly re-
piled: Matthew Mattocks, sir? No.
sir, am not acquainted with Matthew,
but l know his brother, Tom. very
well!'"
