WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - William
Jennings Bryan never did anything
that called for greater will power
than when ne set out a few weeks ago
to trim down his weight If there is
anything that the present secretary
of state dOtes on il is contributing
large quantities of food to his internal
mechanism. After Mr. Bryan entered
the cabinet and was invited 10 a good
many formal dinners he used TO go
home in the evening and eat a hearty
dinner at $50, say. and then about
) o'clock sit down TO another dinner
which he would also eat with seeming
relish. When he determined to re-
duce his weight a while ago, he did
so with full knowledge Of the self
denial it would mean, and since then
he has never eaten more than one
dinner in one evening.
He made an even greater change in
the ratiOns he allows himself at noon
He nearly always has his lunch in his
office at the state department, and
until recently this lunch consisted Of
some such layout as this:
Three picked lambs tongues.
4 large bottle of milk.
A pound of old-fashiOned rat-trap
cheese.
A box Of soda crackers.
And perhaps a piece of pie or a pair
of apples Now all he has at noon
on the average is a little bowl of rice
and one or two apples or a banana.
Ii has been a trying experience for
Mr.. Bryan, but he has Topped off about
so pounds
Here is another fact about the Sec
rotary of state that seems TO be not
generally known. He goes up to the
top of his home at night and plays
billiards. He is a moderately good
player
With the exception of Sens. Varda-
man and Hamilton Lewis. With their
Identifying hair and whiskers no pub
lic man is more easily recognizable at
q distance than Postmaster Gen. Bur-
leson. This is particularly true on a
bright, ClOudless day. For BurlesOn

an umbrella. Somebody asked MIN
one day why he always carries an UNI
lrella in fair weather. SAYS he: Men
carry canes in good weather. Why
shouldn't I have the quiet compan-
ionship of my umbrella? Then If il
ever rains from a clear sky. I shall be
prepared"
However. even aside from the UNI

one thing, he always wear a black felt
