GARDEN CITY, n. Y, May 12.-

glasses of water; Wednesday, less
water, juice of two oranges and one

milk every hour.
This is a summary of the bill of fare

diet. Today they entered upon a new
phase of their self-imposed task, shift
irg from water and orange Juice to
milk, a glass Of it being taken upon the
least desire to eat.
The young women are jubilant over
the result thur far, and say that they

There has been no falling off in weight.
The trio explain their fast as merely
a sensible treatment for indigestion
AS a matter of fact, they say, 1t Is
nothing more or less than a rest for the
digestive organs.

Weighing 900 pounds, which children in

Yesterday when a member of the
firm returned to Harrison with the in
tention of having the table removed to
New York he found that it had 1isap-

made an investigation and learned
from a former employee of the firm

VASSAR PROFESSOR GIVES
ADVICE ON MATRIMONY.
Declares Women Should Com
slider Marriage as Profession.

TROY, N. Y, May 12.-"Why cannot
the clever woman look on matrimony
as a profession ?" asked Prof. /. Wood
ford Riley, of Vassar. in an address at
the opening session of the Episo opal
Church Congress which is meeting here
this week.. las a profession-or, per
haps, rather as something demanding
professional abilities? 1t is common, y
said that a far-seeing girl, threatened
with spinsterhood, marries merely to
have a home. That is scarcely true.
C%leverness seldom loses its head. The
clever woman wishes to marry the
clever man, n does so.
Now, from a cold-blooded point OF
view, such marriages take place from
justifiable ambition. Two heads are
better than one. And the clever woman
sees hat she can influence her husband
in his professional affairs. and thereby
affect the interests of their community.
Is this un-American because unsenti-
mental?'

then, 1t is said, compromised on a hall
a dozen new pairs a week.

Ever Worry over This?

A man standing in front of photo
graph on the wall said:
Sisters and brothers l have none,
and that mans father is my fathers
son. What relation is the man in the
photograph to the speaker?
This is an old one, and in nine
cases out of ten when the question is
asked the answer will be that the
man is looking at his own picture. 1t
seems that this answer is so univer-
sally accepted that few have ever
questioned its accuracy.
Wishing to settle the question once
and for all, I beg leave to announce
to everybody everywhere that the
man was not looking at his own pho
tograph at all, but at his sons.
Had there been but two persons in
the proposition, had 1t read, That
man is my fathers son." there would
be no reason to dispute that that man
is myself. However, we have three
persons here: That man (my SOM
that mans father (myself) and my
father. Dispensing with the term
"My fathers son." for the reason
that / myself am my fathers son, we
have left, "That mans father is my
self" Now, If the father of that mar
is myself, if / am that mans father
then that man, the subject of inves
tigation, is my son.-Scotsman. in tn,
