Cured to me that the large number OF
chubby persons we see floating around may

me, in view of the alarming increase OF
my equator, 1 shall shun hot water with

The eminent banters name is Prof.
Robin but he isn't the first robin OF
spring. Nay, nay; there was a bird of that
same name who showed New York how to
make their bank accounts grow thin, and
then said he was either crazy or he wasn't

danes who pose for the advertisements OF
Queen Zuzu corsets or any OF those lines
named after female monarchs.
Maybe the women, whom this profes

the directions about taking the half hour

Don't be foolish, IL you think I'm going
to miss my dinner to get off and hunt for
that dog you are very much mistaken
1t was exactly what his wife thought
but she did not say so.
II don't see how you can think of eating
your dlnner!" she protested, TREMENDOUSLY,
when my poor little collie may be starved
or beaten or locked up in a cellar! How
can you say you love me when you won't
do a little thing like that?'
Tears shone on her lashes-tears lurked
in her breaking voice.
"Oh, I'll go. I'll got! exclaimed Her
Husband, in a panic, but l think it's a
FOOLS Grand"
SO they left the train at the intermediate
station designated in the advertisement
and for an hour-cold, hungry and appre-
hensive-were lost in the mazes of an alein
city.
At last they found the address they
sought.
An elderly German woman admitted
them to an unpretentious flat.
And there, cGrled up before the kitchen

content he had never worn as the most
pedigreed animal in Mountainville, was
Wool Wool, the Angel Colliel
With a slightly bored air and with very
casual wag of the tail, Wool Wool arose

bill and the bank ceased to be a national
institution when the charter expired.
The tariff law of 1928 caused much dis
satisfaction in the cotton growing states,
and the feeling increased, although in
1892 an act was passed removing some Of
the duties on foreign goods.
a convention in South Carolina declared
these tariff acts unconstitutional and
therefore void, and proclaimed that II any
attempt was made to collect the duties the
state would secede. jackson promptly sent
General Scott to Charleston and issued a
proclamation against the nullifiers His
aggressive policy won the day. COM
promise was passed providing for a, gradual
reduction OF duties and quiet vas restored.

MY solution to the whole thing is that a
person has about all he or she can do right
now to hustle three squares per day and
that the necessity of raising the price OF
five meals per diem would worry any
breadwlnner into a stylish and desired
thinness."
Some stout people are so anxious to
reduce said the Chair Warmer. that they
will do most anything"
Including eating two more daily meals, -
