HAS NEW CURE FOR OBESITY

morning the patient takes n cup O
tea. with buttcred bread. and n he 10

bread and butter. at 10 O'Clock. n,,.
Y Al I o'clock the meal consists Of
meat, vegetables. salad and n com.

Zee. with n little biscuit or white bread
with butter. In the evening he gets
simply n small piece OF bread ana but
ter.
At the first breakfast and the mid.
day meal the amount taken must be
sufficient for the patient 10 leave tho
table completely satisfied. For the
first two or three days the patient
feels very hungry In the evening. but
this quickly passes on. and he soon
gets into the habit OF eating more al
the nrst two meals. this excess OF

Hard LIQUORS In Germany.

Germany is fast changing from a
land Of beer to a land OF brandy,
though perhaps the brandy is intended
for export; some unkind critics say
that much of II goes abroad disguised
as French cognac.
However that may be. the prodnc-
zion Of brandy distilled from wine
hds In Ave years increased from 30.
900 gallons to $4,000.
The number Of distiileries has
grown only from 142 to 1863. But the
methods have improved so that 100
quarts OF wine now yield nearly TWEEN
ty quarts Of brandy instead OF only
seventeen, as was the rule five years
ago.
