Washington. June Mayor Gay
Tor. OF New York, believes he has a
tood chance of being the democratic
presidential nominee of the Baltimore
convention. With the frankness TO"
which he is noted, the mayor has
told New York leaders here of the
notion he entertains as TO the demo-
cratic convention. He seized the OPP
roTtunity afforded by his visit to
Washington to do considerable polit-
ical comforting. In a conversation
with a New York leader in Washing
ton the mayor expressed the belief
that the democratic delegation from
the Empire state will hold the key to
the situation at Baltimore. 1t was
pointed out in the course of the con-
yersation that if Colonel Roosevelt S
nominated at Chicago the democrats
would have to exercise great care il
the party expected to carry New York
this year. A republican who TOOK
mart in the conversation expressed
doubt that any of the democrats now
mentioned for the presidential honor
fould win in New York against Col
Roosevelt, and he named two or three
who in his opinion could not defeat
President Taft.

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DR.. T. j. ALLEN
Food Specialist
DISADVANTAGES OF BEING
FAT.

"Fat people are not healthy"
says DR.. F. Nj. Pottirger. They
are considered poor risks from
the standpoint of longevity
prone to suffer from diseases of
the heart, arteries and kidneys.
Any person With reasonable
powers of digestion can be
made fat by overlooking, but
when this has been done little
has been gained" It Is better
to be ten pounds under than
over weight. Persons who live
to be old are nearly always lean.
The vitality required to circu-
late the blood and carry on the
other processes of nutrition In
fifty pounds of superfluous flesh
Is a serious handicap, not to
mention the loss Of muscular
energy required to carry the
superfluous weight. copious wa
ter drinking, simple diet and ex-
ercise are the natural means for
reducing weight, drugs being al
ways injurious in such case.
