Value Of Fat.

The popular view of the close con-
nection between fat and good nature
and weight and balance Is not wholly
without rational foundation. Eat, un-
pleasant and stodgy as it is, Is one OF
the most valuable tissues in the hu-
man body, and any man who reduces
his share of 1t below a certain reason
able level not only takes the smooth
edge of his temper and balance OF ms
powers Of judgment, but exposes all
Of his higher tissues, notably the mus
GUAR. nervous and secreting, to dan
ger of both starvation and disease. a
moderate cushion Of fat is one Of the
best buffers and bucklers against the
"slings and arrows Of outrageous for
tune" whether In the form Of disease
germs or in strains upon endurance.
The man who makes himself into q
lean and hungry Cassius even with the
best OF intentions Is very apt to get
himself into state of both mind and
BODY where he Is more fit for treason,
stratagem and spells than for comfort,
wholesomeness and long, happy lfe'

sRYAN,s OPPOSITION TO MARTIN

Blk ANS ORFOSlIAOS AZ MAnlAN
The Virginia Democratic League at
Richmond yesterday made public q
letter which William Jennings Bryan
had written to Congressman William
A. Jones, who is opposing Senator
Thomas S. Martin for the nomination
OF senator at the forthcoming primary.
The letter follows:
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. Z, 1911.
Hon. w. A. Jones, House Of Represen-
tatives, Washington, D. c.
My Dear Mr.. Jones-Recent events
in other states give increasing reason
for hope for your SUCCESS. The election
Of Governor Hoke Smith to the Senate
was q triumph for democrats and the
signal victory won by Congressman
James in Kentucky is another indica.
ton OF the trend OF sentiment toward
aggressive action. Surely q man Of
your ability and experience: standing
for democracy OF the Jefferson and
Jackson type, ought to be elected over
a candidate like Senator Martin, whose
instincts, environment and record com'
bine to make him the last man to be
thought of in connection with the
senatorship. Our party is making
progress but it has real fight before
it to overcome the powerful influence
exerted by Wall street and the preda-
tory interests that make that their
hiding place. I am grateful to the
democracy OF Virginia for the splendid
support it has given me, and I feel sure
that it will stand by you aud thus take
a position OF leadership on the people s
sids Of the great issue now before the
people. Strength to your arm.
Yours truly,
W. ]. BRYAN.
