tion. On Swanson's long fly to Wa ter1nan, Hall scored and Kocher raced made poor throw home to catch Kocher. Brad looked to be safe, but Umpire Lawton said he was out, and when questioned started to show where Kocher had hit the earth.
 In the third inning Walsh tore over to the donnicks around the foul line, It was a pretty catch. Hi Ladd just to show Haynes that he was a cinch slapped a single into right, which blow was followed by a single into filling the bags. Hall hit savagely at the pill, Haynes partially stopping the blow, knocking it down for Havel to get the runner at first, but Ladd SCOT ed on the play.

 Hey, a left handed batter, found it difficult to meet with the serves of a man who works with the same hand he does, starting the ninth with a pop to Havel. Bobby Stowe still had hit left in his bat, thrusting the sphere into center. his third hit of the game. Ump Lawton had a nerve to call that third strike on Jackson, but nevertheless he called it, and 'fStonewan'' went back to the bench slightly Tiled. This way boys, take a look at the man who has bat ted up with the best ever since he has been. playing the National game. Kid Ladd advances to the plate, spits upon his bat rubbing the saliva into the wood with his well trained paws. Then comes the thrilling denouenent. The white Victor is seen to go on the fly past Aln7eida and on gaining speed as it goes into deep left field. Speedy Marsans races for the vanish ing horse hide as he sees two warriors in white suits laundering around the paths. Bobby Stowe has passed third when Marsans met up with the ball. The kid who has been out of the anna teurs but a year dashes for home, slid ing into the plate long moments be- fore the relay from Marsans to AL meida to Beaumont could cut off the winning count The score:

CURING OBESITY.
How the Physician Reduces the
Flesh Of the Overstout.
From the PoSt-Graduate.

from the PO9t-Erauuate
The essential part of any treatment of
obesity or adipose tendency is based upon
a change Of dietary habits in accordance
with the principles Of nutrition, supported
by definite regulation Of the muscular
work to be performed. These measures
should extend over a considerable period,
or, better still, be permanently maintain
ed. Actual obesity cures by whatever
name they may go. are justified only in
cases OF excessive lipomatOsis. where the
symptoms imperativeiy demand rapid
and generous discharge of the organism
from the fat ballast, and further. where
it may appear indicated, to remove the
patient from unfavorable domestic sur
roundinSs and to exert an educational
influence with view to instituting an
appropriate mode Of life.
The method Of treatment must be left
to the individual Judgment of the ply
stefan as TO whether the case is one Of
alimentary or constitutional lipOmatosis.
In alimentary obesity the most important
and unavoidable point Is systematic un-
dernutrition. reduction of the nutriment
to a smaller quantity than that to which
the patient has been accustomed, always
taking due care, however. that the organ
ism will be supplied with the necessary
amount OF proteids. In this connection
wish TO emphasize particularly that
the food limit for obese patients, at
which the metabolic condition of the
body will be maintained. is considerably
smaller than is normally required for
persons doing moderate amount Of
work, always provided that the condition
of the patient Is otherwise satisfactory
and the cardiac function only slightly
impaired.

tables not rich in carbohydrates, fresh

fruit and bread preferably toasted) in
small quantities it is quite possible to
provide a bill of fare which will satisfy
taste satiation and the calor1c require
ments. The determination of quantity
and quality of the diet as adapted to
each individual case devolves upon the
ply stefan, giving due consideration 10
habits of life, culinary idosyncrasies. pro-
fessional peculiarities, social conditions
and the general state of health. In or
der to regulate the diet in detail it is
necessary to prescribe the exact quantity
in total weight, or at least to state the
quantity in accordance with well under-
stood and common expressions, SUCH as
one zwieback, one roll, etc. Furthermore.
obese patients should not partake OF
more than three regular meals day and
nothing in the intervals. In patients with
alimentery obesity whose cardiac junction
is still satisfactory the amount of liquids
need not be restricted as long as during
meals only small quantities are taken.
Strongly alcoholic or sweet beverages
should be avoided. Generally speaking,
a glass of white or red wine or of light
beer may be conceded by way of excep-
ton.
Hand in hand with the dietary changes
which are TO effect an increased tat
metabolism must go bodily exercises
which will effectively attack the fat stores
of the organism. Here should be consider
ed the patients general state of nutrition,
his former habits of rest or movement,
and particularly the condition of his
heart. in order to determine the proper
measure of exercise I'm each individual
case, which should, however, always be
kept below the functional capacity of the
heart In order to avoid dyspnoea the
performance CT exercise should only grad
ually be increased and be interrupted by
restful pauses. With this restriction,
patients with alimentary adiposity may
indulge in rowing, swimming, horseback
riding, skating and lawn tennis, Bi
cycling is permitted only to young peo-
Die, and then only in moderation.

| Champagne is still the wine Of the

and SIS have practically come to an end,
but the champagne of 80 and 80 is UNI
rivaled, and the wines of '9S and 1900
will be the choice champagnes Of the near

Temperance is, however, a sign of the

at dinner it seldom appears at luncheon

many smart men never touch alcohol un-

Barley water is another fancy of the

Progress on Other Lines.

1T is quite remarkable to SEQ the way
in which the Chinese have adapted them
selves to the more rapid modes of tran
sit and have come to see their importance
for commercial purposes. Most of the
railways are in Chinese hands. and they
are doing very we'll. Everywhere mar
kets are being opened up for agricultural
produce AS an instance, on the north
ern railways l am told that the collection
of freight on the one item of cabbages
alone was $4,000. Not long ago this
vegetable rotted in large quantities
simply because there were no means of
finding a market for it. In the same way
the growth of the fruit business in north
ern China has made great progress.
Trade at Hankow has been enormously
increased since the town became a rail-
way center. In certain districts the Chi
nese show a tendency to make railways
for themselves. A great deal of the iron
used in the construction OF the railways
is produced In China
