Heretofore the corpulent have un-
dergone all sorts of hardship and risk
IN the effort to lose their excess adj
pose. Weakening baths, exercises, aud
starvation diet are harmful to many.
Most internal medication plays havoc
with digestion, circulation, nerves or
kidneys. Now. thanks to the genius
whose experiments have made it pos
sible. one may discard the irksome and
injurious things and just eat the harm
less and delicious "boranium jujubes'
instead.

obesity is SO prevalent and where
sweetmeats are much INDUCED in. 1t
seems already to have become popular
in the aUnited States. from what sew
eral druggists have told me. The ac-
tive constituent of the boranium ju-
lube Is a kind of seaweed extract
which has the power to break up and
partially absorb, partially eliminate
fatty and oily matter AS but one ju-

CIRCUS HAS COMPLETE zoo.
Wonderful Menaserie Now Found With
Barnum and Bailey Show.


One of the things that has added
greatly to the fame OF the Barhum and
Bailey circus is it's menagerie. The
management has always held that In
building up and maintaining u really
great menagerie it was doing untold
good to- the youth OF the land as we'll
as entertaining them. 1t Is a good
thing for all boys and girls to read
natural history. How much more bene-
fetal it is to bring these animals before
the eyes of the student where he may
study them at close range.
The Barnum and Bailey circus is the
only one in the world that has it's own
animal hunters and trappers. The var
ious animal agencies distributed thru
out Europe deal only in those animals
which are common to the ZOOS of every
city of size. Rare creatures which do
not breed in captivity are not found
there. Here Hes the reason why other
shows, with neither a hunter nor
trapper In their employ, have nothing
year after year to show their patrons
but the common lions, tigers, sprink-
ling Of deer and bears, few elephants
and various other unimportant types
which from long being seen are scarce
ly Of more interest than goat or an
oxen.
In the Barnum and Bailey menagerie
are ITO cages, dens, tanks and pens in
which are to be found 1900 animals
An instance of their great enterprise is
found in the giraffe family. Here are
five perfect specimens One is twenty
two feet in height. Another is the only
baby giraffe in America. 1t is worth
it's weight in gold.
Various other displays are a five ton
hippopotamus, a double horned rhinoc-
eros. bears from the Arctic regions and
from dozen other climates, wild boars
from the German black forests, kan
garoos from Australia. horned horses
from Africa, forty elephants, thirty
camels and dromedaries herds of
llamas and yaks. zebus. curious cattle,
water buffalo, nylghaus. ibexes, gnus,
Wax vaarks. hyenas. porcupines. tapirs,

There are surprises In this mena gerie.
even to the naturalist. for there are
specimens found elsewhere only in the
tropical thickets far from the haunts of
man. Much interesting knowledge may
be picked up here The attendants are

There IL little hope for the recovery
Of Mrs. Joseph E. Winchel. who was
found lying unconscious on the floor of
her home. 511 South Third street, early
Wednesday forenoon. Mrs. Winchel
still lies unconscious at st. Thomas
hospital. She has showed no signs of
regaining consciousness, and It Is
thought that the chances for her re-
covery are very slight, in spite of the
fact that in some respects her condt-
ton today seems to be slightly i'm
proved. At noon Mrs. Winchers tenn
perature was 1O6 and her pulse was
100.
Suffering With Meningitis.
Mrs. Winchers case has puzzled the
physicians It was at first thought
that she perhaps had been stricken
with apoplexy. or that she was suffer-
ing from the effects Of some kind OF
poisoning or infection.
It is believed now that she was
stricken with meningitis of a toxic
type Tuesday night, and that the
symptoms of poisoning have resulted
from toxic poisoning following the at
tack. There are marked symptoms OF
a spastic condition, shown by the
rightly of the body at times and at
other times a twitching of parts Of the
body. similar to, but not so severe
or marked, as spasm.
Was Going to Telephone.
The husband and the neighbors be-
lieve that Mrs. Winchel was trying to
get to the telephone to cali her hus-
band, when she was stricken and fell
to the floor from which she could not
arise. It is thought very likely that in
falling her face was scratched and
| bruised.
Mrs Winchel suffered with very poor
health, and she was subject to violent
attacks of sickness which came on
suddenly. AS such times. if she was
alone, she would telephone her hus-
band. About three years ago Mrs.
winchel underwent an operation. and
since then her health has not been as
good as 1t was formerly.
| No Evidence Of Suicide.
| Altho search was made all thru the
house for some clue that would show
whether Mrs. winchel had attempted
to commit suicide, nothing was found.
and the attending physician Sand the
neighbors give no credence to the pos
ability that Mrs. Winchel might have
I tried to take her own life. She and
her husband owned their home and
lived happily together.
| It was he who found her on the floor
of the home. A boy selling apples
came to the house and heard Mrs.
Winchel groaning. He met Winchel
near the house as the latter was re-
turning home from work. and told him
Of the groans he heard coming from
behind the locked door. Relatives Of
Mrs. Winchel have been summoned.
Her father lives at Beacon and she. has
sister, Mrs. Anna Moline, living at
Peoria.

as will insure greater safety of patrons
against loss of life in fires or panics.
He also recommended that the atten-
ton of the state board Of health be
called to the poor ventilation of the
same houses. There was no ground
for complaint, he says, as to the char
acter OF the films exhibited or for the

aters.
Violation Of city ordinances is
charged against the billiard halls of the
city, the chief offenses against the city
statutes being, SO the report declares
that minors are permitted to frequent
the halls, and that gambling Is allowed
especially on Kelly pool. Owners OF
billiard halls are criticized for per-
hitting the use of foul language and
swearing by patrons,

Trees Effect on Rainfall

tation has seemed most apparent,
there has been an actual decrease in
the last half of the record, and in the
eastern and south central portions of
the State there has been slight in
crease in the last half of the record
as compared with the first half. This
seems to effectually demonstrate the
futility of trying to show any pro-
gressive increase or decrease in the
amount of precipitation the State
has received during the last fifty
years.
The average stages of rivers in
States where the forests have been
cut off have been examined carefully
for many years back. Records of
river stages at places like Cincinnati
extend back to days when the for
ests were almost intact. Nothing
can be found in these recorded stages
to indicate any change in the average
height of the rivers or in the inten
slty of the floods that have occurred
in them from earliest history and
will continue to occur indefinitely.
In Kansas this belief has been
turned around and many times it is
claimed that breaking up the prairie
sod and planting so many trees has
increased the average rainfall. The
theory sounds well, but the precipita-
ton records of the State, some of
which extend back over seventy
years. fail to bear 1t out.
While this argument that forests
tend to increase rainfull cannot be
used to encourage the preservation of
forests or the planting of trees in the
West, there are many good reasons
why forests should be preserved and
trees planted on the prairies,
