TO REDUCE THE WEIGHT.
Systematic Exercise and Diet the Two
Main Requisites.


If you want to ge the fiat front flg-
ure you must learn how and when to
exercise. It is useless to take exer-
else at night when you are tired, and
just as useless to exercise before
meal.
English women are slim because
they keep their homes cool. Women
who fill their rooms with fresh air
are simmer, as rule, than those who
sit in an overheated atmosphere. The
lungs do better work under the cir
cumstances.
In India the stout person takes the
mind cure as well as the physical cure
She says to herself Il am not hun
CRY" After she has repeated this she
takes a walk and engages in some
thing to occupy her mind So she
lets meal slip by.
In Denmark when lady gets too
stout she is urged to get out upon
the hills and tend the sheep. She has
fresh milk to drink and she also eats
fruit and herbs, but no fish nor flesh
nor fowl She lives in the open and
she loses weight.
The so-called Colorado treatment
consists in sleeping out of doors in
sleeping parlor Duilt with sides Of
Japanese mating to keep the wind
from blowing upon you. Only two
pieces of bedding are required. There
must be a German feather bed to
place upon the floor Of the sleeping
parlor and another feather bed to be
drawn over the sleeper Exchange.

the well-known proprietor of the
transatlantic steamship line known as
Campo & Co., which ran service to
India, the Philippines, Japan and the
United States, made will leaving his
property to his son, who, he stated
also, was his natural son and heir, and
was to take his fathers title upon his
majority. Until he reached that major
ity the youths interests we're to be
looked after by Senior Macias, a
wealthy and honorable gentleman.
When the present marquis de Cam
po entered into possession Of his title
and property, two claimants appeared,
who declared that they we're the
rightful heirs. Senior Macias sided
with them (they are Frenchmen by
BIRTH, saying that they had shown
him documents proving their claim
Actions were taken simultaneously in
France and Spain. The French au-

Spanish tribunal admitted the demand
for an inquiry on account of certain
letters brought forward and the evil
dence Of some witnesses.
The marquis de Campo has de-
nouneed Senor Macias, alleging that
the latter is trying to rob him Of his
rightful inheritance. Many sensation
