pay the price of $50. This robe has
never been used until secured by the
doctor and it is now as good as new.
| OF course ii is we'll known that a buff

mostly in the Yellowstone Park. Now

MANY CANDIDATES
FOR EXCISE BOARD
President Has Not Picked Man
in Lords PIace-Former
AspirantS Are Bsuy.

President Wilson has not yet picked
a man for the District Excise Commits
sion in place of Frank B. Lord. whose
name was withdrawn by him yesterday
from the Senate. Although he has been
considering the question of Mr.. Lords
withdrawal for nearly two months, the
President is said to be far from pick
ing a successor. When he withdrevq
the name of John B. Colpoys he sent
TO the Senate with the withdrawal the
nsme of Joseph c. Sheehy as a substi-
tUte.
Anticipating that Mr. Lords name
would be withdrawn, original cand-
dates for appointment to the board are
said &c have renewed their efforts, and
the woods are as full OF those willing
10 hold down the job as they were be-
lore any names We're sent nj.
1t is thought the Presidents action
Yesterday in sending in the withdrawal
hefore he had made UP his mind as 10
q new man for the vacancy was based
en an erroneous belief at the White
House that the Senate District Commit
tee, which passes on District appoint
mentS, would hold its usual Friday
meeting. AS the committee had on nu-
merous occasions deferred action en-
Mr.. Lords name at the request Of the
"hlte House, II Is thought the Presl-
dent did not wish further to embarrass
the members by asking another post
ponement. 1t is understood that "Cy''
Cummings, Of Maryland, who was one
Of the candidates for appointment to the
board, has withdrawn from the race be-
cause of a decision to run for the Mary
land legislature again. At all events.
State Senator Blair Lee. who indorsed
Cummings for the Excise Commission,
has apparently dropped his efforts IN
the latter's behalf Cummings was as
bitterly opposed by the Anti-Saioon

That "POund of Flesh"
Of Albany

"Oh, that this too, too. solid flesh
would melt!" is that cry of the wo-
man who finds the girlish figure and
willowy grace of youth eluding her
At first the subtle pounds of avoir-
dupois seem only to add a charming
plumpness to the contour, but this very
soon develops into a double chin, a
plump, motherly back and hips
If the woman of thirty will give
heed to these things in time, she need
never resort to those extreme meas
lres which leave the skin fabby and
hanging in ugly folds.
Common sense should be the basis
of all operations for reducing Women
are beginning to realize that moderate,
healthful exercise and a sensible diet
will keep them young.
The stout woman should cease drink
ing cold water in as far as possible
and substitute hot water, which, T
prepared with little lemon juice, is
not unpalatable, and if taken at
means, in place of the usual glass OF
cold water, the result will surely be
beneficial.
The woman who is taking off flesh
must forego her box of bon bons, and
desserts and sweets must rarely en-
ter her menu. Butter should be en-
tirely tabooed, while coffee and tea
should always be taken without cream
ard sugar. Fruits and vegetables
should be her staff of life.
Going up and down stairs briskly is
4 good exercise to take off flesh.
All exercising, walking, playing golf
or anything that compels free perspir-
alton, is bound to reduce flesh.
Eternal vigilance is the stout wo-
mans salvation against growing old
but the reward equals all sacrifices,
for to look well, to stand and walk
with freedom and grace, are important
assets to a woman's successful ca
reer in life.
