CAN TO BE TIED TO ANDY
LAWRENCE, READY
How soon will Hearst tie a can


to Andy Lawrence?
It is believed now to be only a
question of time, and that his sue
cessor is already picked.
It seems that Lawrence has got
the Hearst papers to losing so
fast that Hearst is getting tired
of digging down into his jeans to
make up the losses.
While The Examiner and
American are being printed daily,
the big circulation has been
dwindling toward the vanishing
point; and when the advertisers
find out that they are getting only
small percentage of the circula-
ton they are paying for, receipts
will go the way of circulation.
The setting of Andy's sun in
Chicago is evidently worrying
some of the politicians who
climbed into the L awrence-Har-
rlson band wagon, for they can
now see the labor vote disappear
ing this fall, so far as Hearst can
didates are concerned.
A desperate effort is now being
made to stir up a fight against

cago local of the stereotypers. If
Andy loses these two fights, it's

the sister should call upon you be-

"ANTI-FAT" DRUG DANGERS.

Under the heading "Ant-Fat Drug a
Peril" an Eastern newspaper prints the
following special from Newport. r. l.:
Every now and then II is reported that a
Washington. New York, Philadelphia. Bos .
ton or Western woman, who has been a
shining light in society here. is in bad
health. and IT is the proper thing TO say
she has broken down under the strain of
her social duties. But II became known to-
day that the poor health OF some women
who have broken down here has been
carsed by the use OF dangerous ant-fat
drug with which fashionable women In
Europe first experimental. Women in New
port have been using this drug ever since
fashion decreed that a truly fair one must
be slender"
The "anti-fat' drug which the women OF
this aristocratc resort have been using is
probably one supplied by some mail-order
ouacks. the main ingredient OF which Is
thyroid. This drug Is effective as a fat re-
ducer, but. like most effective drugs, It
has It's dangerous side. A few years ago.
when Germany placed strict restrictions on
the sale Of thyroid, Il was common gossip
that this action was due to the fact that
some of the first ladies OF that country had
had an experience similar TO that reported
from Newport.
Thyroid is used more extensively as an
anti-fat than for any other purpose. Its
Use Is accompanied by a certain amount OF
danger. In most cases OF obesity treatment
by thyroid is essentially illogical. and treat
ment by diet and exercise is the logical
method Patients should be warned that
the fat will promptly return after the thy
rod treatment unless they learn TO regulate
their diet and exercise and emphasis should
be laid on the fact that I'm almost every
case the obesity Is due simply To over
eating or 20 lack Of exercise. or Ia com
bina ton Of these.-7Johrnal OF the American
Medical Association.
