ADVICE FOR THE C0RPULENT
German Physician Says to Cut Out
One Solid Meal From the Menu
for the Day.

One Doctor Galisch. a German ply
sician of Rothenfelde, has devised a
simple drugless method of removing
fat, which. If the Doctors claims for it
are justified, deserves the attention
of the laity. He declares that he can
shave down the obese man at the rate
of two pounds per week, without in
any way straining his nervous sys-
tenn or heart. There is, it appears, a
theory that fat is accumulated princi-
pally during sleep. and DIR. Galisch.
pondering this, in connection with an
observation of his own that corpu-
lent folks usually eat very hearty
meal, came to the conclusion that an
elimination of that meal would de-
prive the fat man of his raw material
during sleep, and thus reduce him to
normal proportions.
very little experimenting justified
this conclusion. he says, and now the
Galisch method has been added to
banting and the other anti-fat modes
of life. DR.. Galisch suggests the fol-
lowing dietetic itinerary for daily use:
First breakfast, bread, butter and tea;
second breakfast 10 a. M. egg and
a small tart. dinner Il p. M, meat,
vegetables, salad, preserves; after
noon tea "a p. M, coffee, crackers or
bread and butter. supper (no time
set). one small tart. There appears
to be no quantitive limit for the mid
day meal, SO the system really
amounts to the elimination of all but
one "solid meal a day.

nitrogen. combines with the humic
acids formed from the decomposing
litter. forming insoluble compounds.
Thus they are not SO quickly available
to the plants as the original excre-
ment.
There are also various losses in
quantity which the constituents may
suffer before they reach the land. In
the yard much urine may run to waste.
Ammonia will disappear as gas in the
stable during decomposition Of the
urine and further loss of nitrogen
may occur in the barnyard.

ABOUT CULTIVATION
The Secretary Ct The Interior Has
Made New Instructions On The
Time For Homestead Cultivation

The Department of the Irter-
Tor has just announced an impor-
tant modification in the time of
cultivation of homesteads, so
that it is practically ruled that
instead of a homesteader having
to cultivate so much each year,
his final proof will be allowed on
his showing that his total cult
walton shows the required acre
age. The ruling is as follows:
Prospecting cultivation to be
shown upon such entry, in all
cases where upon considering the
whole record, the good faith of
the entryman appears, the proof
viii! be acceptable if it shows
cultivation of at least one-six-
teenth for one year and Of at
least one eight for the next year
until final proof without regard
to the particular year of the
homestead period in which the
cultivation Of one 18th was per-
formed"
This is very important and
sensible Interpretation of the law
and will help many who are do
ing the best thev can, but can
not reach the strict letter of the
law.
