Murdock's political future was at

Weakness of will. The Kansas insur-
gent grappled with the problem with
characteristic thoroughness. He Went
into the theory of fat and fat making.
Finally he evolved u system OF rules

These are h rules:
Walk at least four miles a day.
Eat n meal a day-at night.
Drink no liquids of any sort with the
daily meal nor within AN hour before
or after the meal.
No starches, sugar or butter.
Weigh every day.
If you must drink. don't drink beer.
When the success of the system was
observed by h fatter of Murdock's
colleagues. the Anti-Fats club was en-

The thing to guard against is de-

the butter rule by not using any on

himself with a little sweet jam in

Accordingly we have not attached "A

When a NIB transgresses one OF

f, Under the reorganization of the police
there will be an assistant
superintendent OF police who will have

activity upon the part of the police and

National Conventions.

Speaking ut Trenton Mr.. Bryan raid
We have had our last great national
convention. National candidates here
after will be nominated by the people
at home instead of by delegates In con-
ventions controlled by bossev.''
Why should Mr.. Bryan rejoice in his
prospect? He has controlled four ma
tiOnal conventions. three for himself
and one for a man sta nding for his
ideas. He pertaining dOes not contend
that a mistake was made on either OF
those occasions. He was master in
person at Chicago in 1896, and at Bal
tilnOra last year. n master by proxy
at Kansa. City in 1900, and Al ben
yer In 1905. He tried to be master at

ouSly until the transaction was consum-
mated tbs week. it is understood that
the price paid to DR.. Stuart for his home
was $4,000, and the transaction serves
values incident TO the transformation of
the Dupont circle property from a FASH
fonable residence neighborhood into q
new business center of the National
Capital. DIR. Stuart purchased the prop
erty about twelve years ago for $1,000.

II win be RACED The Dupont pharmacy
building also will be demolished at the
same time, and the active Cperaions will
then be begun in the construction Of the
Walker-Hughes building. This structure
VIII occupy all of the ground on 10th
street between Dupont circle and p street.
and 1t will have a depth of about sixty
feet each on P street and Dupon circle.
The Walker-Hughes market will occupy
one whole section of the structure In
the corner at 23th and p streets with
its main entrance from Goth street. Three
additional storerooms will be provided
on the Dupont circle side. and the store
at No. Dupont circle is already leased
to the Dupont pharmacy. Leases for the
other two stores have not been made.
To Build Three-Story Structure.
Plans for the construction OF the Walk
er-Hughes building contemplate a struc-
ture three stories in height, and a con-
siderable part of the two upper floors
will be equipped for office purposes. 1t
has been estimated that the cost Of the
new building will be about $4,000 and
with the prices paid for the various par
GELS of ground the total investment of the
Walker-Hughes company in Its new
building will closely approximate $780,
600.
In discussing the projected move OF his
firm to Dupont circle, Mr. Walker today
said that In his opinion Dupon circle in
destined to become the center OF the up-
town business district of Washington.
The United States Trust Company al
ready has one of its branch banks at
the corner of Connecticut avenue and
Dupont circle, and In the very near flu
ture 1t is believed that still more bust
ness houses viii move into the neighbor-
hood. The Walker-Hughes company ex-
poets to yacate some time within the
ensuing year the store which it now
holds under lease at 112S-?0 Connecticut
avenue. The company will be estab-
lished in its new Dupont circle store

JOHN c. WALKER BUYS
DUPONT CIRCLE HOUSE
Home of Dr.. Stuart, Sod This
Week, to Become Part of
Business Building.

In a transaction closed this week John
c. Walker Of the Walker-Hughes Mar
ket Company took title to the residence
and Office of DR.. A. Rhett Stuart, corner
OF Goth street and Dupont circle. The
transfer was one Of the most interesting
events in realty circles in the National
Capital this season. because 1t marks the
passing of at least one side of Dupont
Circle as a residence center and the utili-
cation OF the property from this time for
ward for business purposes.
Mr.. Walker, acting on behalf Of the
Walker-Hughes company, more than a
year ago decided upon Dupont circle as
the site for the permanent home of his
establishment, and his initial move was
to purchase from James johnson the
two residences at Nos. 5 and Dupont
circle. Mr.. Walker already owned the
store which is occupied as a pharmacy on
the adjacent corner OF Goth and p streets
lin fact this store formerly was the
home OF one OF Mr. Walkers markets.
Work Started Few Weeks Ago.
Building operations looking to the con-
struction of the new Walker-Hughes
market were begun few weeks ago
when wreckers were put to work de-
molishing the houses at 3 and Dupont
circle. When this work was begun, how
ever Mr.. Walker was not yet the owner
of the residence of DR.. stuart, and ne
gotiations for the purchase of that prop
erty were carried on practically continu-
