MIX, and nothing else, IL the latest
cure for stout people. Prof. F. Moritz
of strasburg. the pioneer Of this new
dietary. declares positively that an ex-
elusive diet of milk Is the simplest,
the most comfortable and cheapest
remedy for obesity. A limited quantity
of water may be taken. but, with this
exception, the patient takes absolutely
no food or drink but milk. The allow

taken at FIVE separate meal times"
Milk Is filling and satisfying. and the
patient suffers neither from hunger
nor thirst. The cure Is easy for the
doctor to direct. and makes no great
demands on the patient to carry out.
As for its efficacy, Prof. Moritz says
that one patient lost Sc pounds in 81
"cure days." an average Of more than
half O pound daily. The cure is said
to be especially beneficial in all cases
when the patient has any heart or
kidney trouble.

Forestry and Fire.
KANSAS

Some reflections that were given
much publicity about the time the
congress OF governors met last spring
now comes back to memory, bearing q
twisted look. We were all very virtu-
Gus Just then. We had learned to our
surprise and horror that our progeni-
tors had been unpardonably reckless
in their dealings with the property
they should have left intact to us. We
scolded them vigorously because they
had cleaned OF our forests until We
were within q quarter OF Q century OF
national badness. The ghosts OF
those pioneers must be holding their
sides when they look down on their
successors in this supposedly mex
haustible region of natural affiuence
and behold us figuring up our fire
losses for this summer. The bureau
of forestry at Washington estimates
that the destruction in the forests so
far would equal the cost Of a whole
feet of firstclass battleships. That
would probably amount to more than
100000, 900. Either our forefathers
were not as extravagant as we have
been calling them. or We ourselves
have not profited by their example.
The offence is the more grievous on
our part since we realize how easily
our forests may be exhausted. Our
predecessors thought they would last
forever.-Detroit Free Press.

ships arrived than an embargo was
laid upon them and their crews ar

One ship, the famous Primrose OF
London, managed to escape. While

to England, and among them was the
corregidor himself. Upon him were

forth expressly that the embargo was
ordered for the purposes Of the expe-
dition which Philip was preparing
against the English. This was enough
for the queen and the powerful pub
lie opinion of commercial circles IN
London, which had obstinately clung
to pacific relations with Spain. A re-
taliatory embargo was proclaimed, let
tiers of general reprisal were issued
and Drake was let loose.-From Publ
