HAS NEW CURE FOR OBESITY
English Physician Has Formulated
Theory Which Seems to Be
Founded on Fact.

DR.. Galisch, an English physician,
In recommending new treatment for
obesity, states a new fact. His treat
ment is q dietary as follows: In the
morning the patient takes a cup OF
tea. with buttered bread, and If he Ia
too hungry to wait for luncheon he
takes an egg, with a small piece OF
bread and butter, at 10 o'clock.
At 1 o'clock the meal consists OF
meat. vegetables, salad and com
pote. In the afternoon he takes cot
fee, with little biscuit or white bread
with butter. In the evening he gets
simply a small piece Of bread and but
ter.
At the first breakfast and the mid
day meal the amount taken must be
sufficient for the patient to leave the
table completely satisfied. For the
first two or three days the patient
feels very hungry In the evening, but
this quickly passes off, and he soor
gets into the habit of eating more al
the first two meals, this excess Of
Authorization being counteracted by
the exercise and work done during
the afternoon.
The whole idea Of the treatment Is
that it Is the food taken In the even
ing and followed by the repose o.
night which particularly contributes
to the formation Of adipose tissue. DR.
Galisch's patients invariably lose one
or two pounds of week.

Should Copy the Kangaroo.

A German physician, DR.. Klaatsch,
recently read a paper at Breslau, on
the influence of the upright posture
upon mankind, in which he arrived at
the conclusion that Idle beutelratte."
that is the kangaroo, has been more
successful and fortunate IN adapting
itself to the bipedal handicap of the
erect posture than has humankind:
The medical assumption that though
man, who, perhaps, in the remotest an
tiquity, was a quadrupedal animal, did
at some vague period succeed In adapt
ing himself to bipedal condition, 1t
was not until he was overtaken by CIV
ilization that bipedal infirmities came
upon him. It Is to his abandonment OF
progress upon all tours that Is due
his bernias, hemorrhoids, varicose
veins, intestinal troubles, etc. The In
sufficiency Of the trunk muscles for the
maintenance of the upright attitude ac-
counts for many human infrmities. 1t
will not be necessary for US to return
to our former quadrupedal condition II
we take DR.. Klaatsch's advice and
learn from the kangaroo.

IMPOSSIBLE TO PLACE LIMIT
imagination FalIs When the Fusure'
Size of oeean-Going Vessels ls I'm
der Consideration.

The astonishing prediction OF the
British shipbuilder who forecasts that
in q few years the leviathans OF the
deep will be half mile long and will
register 100000 tons is not so shat
tering to the imagination in this age
Of wonders as It might have been In
q past era. The breathless story OF
scientific achievement during the last
few years Is replete with marvels that
in an earlier day would have been
wilder than the widest dreams ever
conceived.
1t is still possible to see treading, as
it were, the welldefined paths OF the
Atlantic old vessels of eight thousand
tons which in their heydey were the
largest afioat; while again on a recent
day a titan registering $4,000 tons
the Imperator started on her maiden
voyage across the herring pond. 1t Is
ever so. The Brobdignagins Of today
are the Liliputians Of tomorrow, and
there is no logical reason why In a
few years time this same lmperator'
which now dazzles the senses with It's
size and magnifcence should not be
utterly eclipsed by even more gigantic
successors. While to the greatest or
humanity all achievement is neces-
sarily finite, mans imagination can
penetrate the cloaked dawn and dissi-
pate the mists that mask the future,
and If he has the courage and faith to
follow, then all things are possible.
The sight Of a great vessel crossing
the Atlantic with almost as much reg
ularity In time as the stars In their
courses cannot but recall to mind the
time when imagination and faith guild
ed the hands that charted the unsalied
waists for the puny cavarels Of Spain.

ORGANS OF TASTE NOT FOUND
Experiments Have Failed to Locate
Them In Most Species Of Birds
and Insects.

Many experiments have been made
In order to find out what and where
the organ of taste Is in the lower Gre
alton, but It is easier to say where 1t
Is not.
CrayHsh and worms seem TO have
very decided preferences IN the mat
ter Of food. though no special taste
organ has yet been found. HOLSTERS
like decayfng food. The crab Is more
dainty In Its diet
Snails and slugs show a decided
preference for certain kinds Of food,
as garden lovers know to their cost.
Peas and cabbages, dahlias and sun
flowers are great favorites, but they
will not touch the white mustard
Some prefer animal food, especially
II rather high.
Spiders have only slight sense OF
taste; flies soaked in kerosene seem
quite palatable to them, though one
species, the diadema, is somewhat
more particular, and refuses to touch
alcohol in ally form whatever.
The proboscis or the NY and the
tongues of bees and ants are furnish
ed with numerous delicate hairs, set
in minute pits. These are, perhaps.
connected with the organ OF taste;
but, though the exact locality of this
sense In insects is uncertain. we know
that groups of cells in the tongues OF
animals, called taste bulbs. form In
part the ends OF the organ Of the high
er animals. These taste bulbs were
discovered in 1857. Each one consists
of two kinds of cells, one set forming
an opening in which project from
five to ten of the true taste cells.
Though important, they are not ap-
parently an essential part Of the or
gan, for birds and reptiles have none;
but neither have they keen sense OF
taste-except, perhaps, the parrot.

The Scotland Citizen-Republican
is afraid that the importer will
charge the consumer just as much
fnr his goods as he did formerly,
and will put the savings OF tie re
duced tariff in his pocket. ithls is
another way of exploiting the old
theory that the foreigner pays the
taxa theory which we supposed
had been exploded many years
ago.-Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.
+ II is not a question Of whether
the importer does or does not pay
the tax. The importer does not
fix his selling price by the amount
of tariff he has had to pay, but
makes it all that the market will
stand. If the market will stand It
the importer will add two or three
times the amount of the tariff paid
to the selling price of his goods,
and this same amount would be
added whether he paid any tariff
or not. On the other hand he may
not be able to add anything more
than the original cost of his goods
and the transportation, in which
case the consumer would have
nothing additional to pay on &C
count of tariff. It is the COM
petition that he meets in the mar
ket here that determines his price.
The only way to diminish the price
is to increase the supply, and the
best results can be obtained by ad-
justing the tariff to strictly COM
petitlve basis. If the tariff is 80
high that it gives the home pro
ducer monopoly it should be re-
auced. On the other hand if the
tariff Is reduced so as to put the
home producer out of business and
give the importer a monopoly the
consumer will be held up by the
importer just as mercilessly as the
home producer would if given
chance. 1t is question for nice
adjustment and can therefore be
handled best by competent tariff
mission.

The Underwood tariff bill was
passed by the house last Thursday
by vote of 281 to 139. The bill
as passed was identically as it
came from the ways and means
com mittee, every amendment pro-
posed by the republicans and pro-
gressives having been voted down.
It now goes to the senate where it
is likely to have a more rocky road
to travel, as the majority held by
the democrats in that body is only
six, and two of these are said to be
opposed to this schedule, 80 it is
likely to be somewhat disfgured
before it is finally passed. It will
however, be a hopeless fight for
the republicans and they might as
we'll take their medicine gracefully.
II is evident that the country is
determined to try low tariff
policy, and it will never be in a
better condition to try the expert
ment than it is now.

the republican vote in each state
instead of the population; they
would have the convention recog-
nize the primary system Of elect
ing delegates; and they would
have the temporary roll Of the con-
vention determined by the newly
elected committeeman rather than
by the old committeeman. The
first request is not unreasonable. .
Recognition of delegates elected
under the primary system is all
right, and such delegates we're re-
cognized by the last national con-
vention, provided they were elected
by congressional districts instead
of by the states at large. To pro-
vide for electing delegates at la rye
would be step backward, as it
would cut out all minority repre-
sentation. The last request would
be practical if the second one were
adopted SO that the committee
men would be elected by the states
instead Of by the convention, but
under the present SYSTEM manifest
ly this could not be done, as the
new committeeman could not be
elected until after the convention
had been organized.
