Take Off The Fat
WhsIe II Shows

Most women suffer much humilia-
ton because of great quantities OF
fat. 50 located that, no matter how
they dress. everybody sees that they
are abnormal This is the day of the
slender figure, and fat women are
simply not tolerated either IN pusl-
ness or social affairs. Women may
not know it but men when they see
fat woman pass on the street make
all manper of sympathetic remarks
about her. They do not mean to De
unkind or to seem unmanly, but II
e is natural for Il man to dislike TAT on
a woman. Where fat shows the most
there is where II must be removed,
and as quickly as possible. The hot
weather dresses seem to be made for
the fat woman's misery and the slen-
der wcman's delight. They expose all
the charms of woman and her ugli-
res5 rs well Exercise and diet will
not remove fat. This has been proved.

The experience of the railroads in
Missouri the past year, so far as it
goes, bears out the contention of
those who assert that the roads
would do more profitable passen-
ger business under a two cent rate
than under the old three cent rate.
1t seems that with several of the
lines the earnings per mile within
the state, where the two cent rate
appliess have been greater than the
interstate earnings. A little ret1ec-
ton vii, show how that has come
about through the cutting of passes
clergymen's permits, ETC., and in
the greater amount Of travel due to
decreased rates.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES

BARBERING-F. W. J.. Oakland. Cal. What
is the derivation of the word barber and what
is the origin of barbering?
1t is impossible to discover the origin
of barbering. 1t is, however, one of
the oldest personal occupations. SHAY
ing the head or some part of it has
been practiced from the earliest times,
even among nations which discouraged
the shaving of the beard. Figures on
Egyptian and Assyrian monuments and
on some of the oldest Chinese porce-
lains show that shaving the beard and
head as a sign of mourning or sub
lection or religious devotion was prac-
ticed among all these ancient people
Shaving is spoken of in Job 1920, Gem
esis xli:14, Leviticus xiii:3 and xiv:S-9.
and in other parts of Holy Writ. The
first place where barber is directly
mentioned is in Ezekiel vi, "And thou,
son of man, take thou a BARRIERS razor"
etc. In former times barbering was re-
garded as a profession. the lancing of
gums drawing of teeth, blood letting
and leeching being part of every first
class barber business.
Etymologically the term barber" is
from the Latin word "barba" (beard).
1t denotes a shaver of the beard but
shaving and hair cutting have been
accounted from the earliest times one
occupation.
yICToRIA--P J., City What was the late
Queen Eictcria's maiden name and what was the
name Of he- husband?
Before marriage she was known as
Princess Victoria, for royal families
have no family name. But she was
a descendant of the house of Guelph.
it may be claimed that her family name
was Guelph. She married Prince AL
belt of SaxeCoburg, a descendant of
the house of Victim, SO he may be
said to be entitled to the name Wet
tin Neither the queen nor the prince
ever signed Guelph or Victim, and
they were never addressed so, orally, or
in writing.
DISTANCE. {. l.. Niles. Cal What is the
sailing distance. steam and sail. between San
Francisco and Yokohama, also the shortest sail
ing distance between the two ports?
The United States branch hydro
graphic office says that the sailing dis
tance by steamer, via Honolulu, is
5 500 miles, by sailing vessel the dis
tance is about 5000, and the shortest
route, the great circle track. is 1886
miles The latter is what may be
termed the air line distance.

Secret of Successful OratOry

The most effective orator I have

name, who lectured in England when
I was in my teens. He was addressing
some 5000 men and women or the.
hard headed north country type. Ha
was speaking in English. which was
to him an acquired and foreign Ian
guage. He played on his hearers -
II they were an old fiddle in the grasp
of Paganini. He made them literally
laugh and cry at will. He would one
moment hush them In spellbound si-l
lence. and the next. by a word or ges-'
ture. he would explode the Charged

{IT1MES are changing, said an old

THE truth is the world is growing
better. There isn't SO much chicanery
and such wholesale lying as there used
to be, and the assistant general pas
senger agent who now poses as one of
the leading lights and most truthful
James in the business would not dare
to sell a blacksmith a half fare ticket
as clergyman.
'tOf course, 1 9am speaking only
about railroadnen getting good. Try
as we will, we can not get shippers
to follow our example, and the public
is just as keen about doing up a rail-
road as 1t was 90 years ago. That is
the disheartening thing about it.
We start in to tell the truth, and
act like men who would not do a wrong
thing, and we are tempted to fall. Why,
there was a time when a man thought
he could not get business unless by
pouring whisky down his throat. Now
if he goes on that game the first thing
happens to him is that he is fred. The
result is that while railroadmen are
every day getting more and more good
they are becoming easier prey to the
public. This is what makes me fear
there will be a relapse to the bad old

York passengers to make the stop at
Pittsburg, thereby making quite lit
tie saving in their through rates and
also avoid the inconvenience of rebuy-
ing their tickets and rechecking their
baggage in Chicago. This action was
taken on account of the scalpers hav-
ing been practically put out of busi-

news to the constructing and steel men

able them to make the stop at Pitts
