HOW TO GET PLUMP.

The fat-producing foods are prin-
cipally milk, cream, eggs, butter, olive
oil; the sweets-sugar, honey, sweet
desserts, jams, sweet fruits; the
starchy vegetables potatoes, peas,
beans, corn, beets; wheat bread, rye,
cereals of all kinds, rice, sage, etc. Of
the fruits, peaches, grapes, bananas,
prunes and figs are especially recon-
mended. The only foods cut out of a
thin PERSONS diet are the condi-
ments pickles, pepper, mustard, cur
ry, salt, etc.; the acids, including acid
fruits, the vinegar in salad dressing,
etc.; and the stimulants, tea and cof-
fee. It must not be forgotten that
although the tissue-making foods,
such as meats, fish, ETC., are not fat
producing, they are required for their
own especial functions. Some of the
green vegetables and fruits are not
fat-producing, but they are needed
for other purposes. The fat-produc-
ing foods should be INDUCED in prin-

NO SEX IN POLITICS.

In our generation women have
forced their way into almost every de-
dartment Of life. After you have let
them work in your factories, in your
fields and mines, in your bars and
workshops, in your gardens and post
Offices and counting houses, after you
have let them practice medicine and
study law, it is too late to turn back,
or to refuse them the rights of their
new position Those who object to
female suffrage, who say that wom-
ans sphere is the home, should have
kept her there. Too late to turn the
key on her now-she is not at home.
The fact is, that, important as is
the sex-division in some things, it
does not stretch across the whole Of
life; sex has no meaning in politics
any more than in dinner parties.
Men and women pray in the same
church and dance to the same music.
Both sexes have far more in common
than they have points Of difference.
Why should one sex be shut out of
the polling booth? Why is Florence
Nightingale opinion Of the candi-
date for her constituency less valua=
BILE than the chimney sweeper's? We
suffragettes demand votes for wom-
en-, not because they are women, but
because they are fellow-citizens. It's
nobody's business to inquire what sex
a voter is, any more than what color
the voters hair is. Once get into
your head that the claim Of women
rests not upon their petticoats but on
their purses, not upon their being
women, but on their being taxpayers,
not on their being our rivals, but on
their being our comrades, and you
will escape tangling yourself in a
whole network of fallacies.-By Is
rael Zangwill, in Texas Farmer.

SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMON
Translated by Helen Rowland.

Lo, my daughter, hast thou met
a homely man who charmeth thee9
Then cleave unto him with all thy
might. For a Greek god conquereth
easily, but he with the face Of q mud
pie and the legs Of piano pleaseth
only by taking great trouble, and he
hath a winning way. Yea, he under
standeth women.
He doeth the sympathetic and run
meth thine errands. He studieth thy
taste in flowers and quoteth thy
speeches accurately. He remember
eth the necktie thou didst admire and
weareth it always.
He noteth the fine points of thy
dress and speaketh definitely concern
ing them, saying, IA pink ruff be-
cometh thee and thine ear is Of fas-
cinating cuteness."
He consuIteth thee tenderly con-
corning the soup whether it pleaseth
thee and passeth thee the salt solicit
tously. He putteth sugar in thy wine
and the CLANS which thou despiseth
will he not offer thee
He playeth the devoted with great
skill, yet he forceth not his attentions
upon thee Behold how he Wrappeth
thy boa about thee adoringly and gaz
eth at thee long and hard when thou
art supposed not to be looking. Yea,
he spreadeth down a mental cloak for
thee to walk upon, even as did Sir
Walter Raleigh in the time of Queen
Bess, and secretly thou knightest
him.
For 10, he hath had much practice.
He treateth every woman in this way.
And it shall come to pass that in time
this shall become 'habit," and he
shall treat even his wife with some
little courtesy.
Then, consider, my daughter, how
other women shall envy you and
speak among themselves, saying:
"Beold this woman's husband
listeneth when she taIketh Verify
he appeareth to hear her-even to see
her. And is it not wonderful"

My soul was weary. Ny heart
tainted within me. I could not un-
derstand. If God were good, why was
it so? My soul doubted, and my
heart was full of questionings.
In the great unequal, unending
struggle of Right against Wrong, why
was Wrong always triumphant? Why
was "Truth forever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throne"?
could not understand.
And the men who have given their
lives for the uplifting of their broth
er man, why is it that the world has
ever treated them as failures, and
killed them on the block, or tortured
the life out Of them by its hatred and
neglectq
All down the vista of the ages since
history's dawn, I beheld them-the
men to whom the world owes it's prog
ress, its liberty; the men who have
dared to oppose the established or
der Of things and point to the Bet
ter Way; the men who have been
brave and fearless enough to stand
by principle even unto death; the men
who have championed the cause Of
the weak against the strong-and the
story was ever one Of suffering.
One, the Holy One, was crucifed.
Some were beheaded, some met death
on the scaffold, some wasted away IN
dismal dungeons, some sang their
songs and died in poverty and obscu-
rity. Some have done their work
amid and delivered their message to
people that misunderstood, despised,
rejected, and broke the Reformer's
heart by its jealousy and indiffer-
ence> through the weary length Of long
years. It was always so. The
thoughtless, selfish world has never
recognized its great men until they
were dead
And again I could not understand.
Did not God care? If Ged we're on
the side of Truth and Right, why did
not Right triumph? Why not give
the Proclaimers Of Truth the sweets
of victory while they lived9 Why
must these glorious, inspired ones
bear all the ridicule, all the reproach,
all the cruelty, all the WEAKNESS,
while the Indifferent, the opportunists,
the slaves Of public opinion, reap all
the honor, all the ease, all the praise?
Are the truly great never to have any
reward? Is there no joy for them?
And then I knew that the power,
the privilege, to live for the Truth
to die for it, if need be-is to the
brave, courageous heart it's own re-
ward He who defends the Right
only after it has become popular and
easy to defend is but a coward at the
best He who is not a disciple, an
apostle of Truth for Truth IS sake,
without respect to the reward, is not
worthy. The brave, unconquerable
spirit Of the martyr, the Reformer,
scorns to accept ease and position as
