CURES FAKES
SAY EXPERTS
Department Of Agriculture De-
clares So-Called Remedies
Are Very Injurious.

! q Fl D
WASHINGTON, July S0.-Numer-
Gus inquiries received recently by the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture Indicate that promoters of
so-calIed obesity remedies and fat
reducing cures are using an old
trick dressed in new clothes to de-
ceive fat people into spending money
for worthless or dangerous prepara-
tions The advertisements appeal to
the vanity OF people who wish to re-
gain graceful figures and also to the
business necessities of those who be-
come so fat that they can no longer
do their work efficiently.
" Series of Tests.
In order to be able to give a def
mite reply to many people inquiring
about specific remedies, the drug
specialists of the Bureau of Chem
sistry recently conducted series Of
tests with a number of nostrums of
this character on employees in the
department who wished to lose sur
plus flesh without injuring their
health. One of the most widely adj
vertised so-called prescriptions for
reducing flesh was tried for period
of six months. The result was that
Two OF the subjects under experiment
tation were obliged to stop after TAX
ing the medicine for two or three
weeks because of its Injurious effect.
Another of the so-called remedies of
a Great Obesity Specialist" was
tried. The subject scrupulously fol-
lowed the diet list which accompan-
led this remedy and faithfully car
ried out the system of exercises rec
commended. After six months treat
ment there was a reduction OF eigh-
teen pounds OF flesh but this the ex-
perimenters attribute to the fact that
the subject ate no bread, butter,
starchy food, pastry, sugar or candy
while under observation. The first
month after discontinuing the treat
ment the subject gained ten pounds,
and in three months was back to the
original weight recorded at the be-
ginning of the treatment.

With rapidly diminishing supplies of

the lumber industry itself recognizes

claims upon the packages are pur-

are very careful to keep separate

er, has been instrumental in silenc-

The Department of Agriculture can

of unnecessarily high prices later.
Yet restriction of competition on the
part of 1umbermen with a view to
greater profits for themselves
through higher prices is both con-
trary to law and highly Objectionable

lists. Any attempt to adjust the pres

The necessity of operating under

must then be left manufactured.

MEMORY AND ABILITY
GENERAL IDEA ATHEYARE. .sYNoN-
YMous TERMS is WRONG.
Numerous Instances In History Where
Men Of Intellect Were Notorious for
Their Forgetfuiness-Humor-
Gus Case In Court.

During the course Of recent trial
instituted for the purpose OF deciding
whether an aged millionaire had need
OF guardian to administer his affairs,
one OF the, principal arguments sup
porting the charge of incompetency
related to defective memory. TAo is-
sue is full Of human interest and can
be discussed as psychological prob
lem quite apart from the legal merits
Of this particular case.
Fate was surely in her most ironi-
cal mood when she tempted an alien
ist to testify that the octogenarian
must be incompetent because of q
faulty recollection of the court pro-
ceedings, and then forced the special.
ist to confess that he could not re-
member a question which had been
asked him only few minutes before.
Hoist with him own petard, the expert
cut an amusing figure, but his profit
from the striking lesson should out
weigh all the personal discontinue to
which he was subjected.
There are few fallacies more gen.
orally entertained than the theory
that memory Is an index to mental ca
pacity. While 1t is true that an ut
ter inability to recall anything out
side of the fixed idea ia a sign of In
sanity, 1t is equally true that many
men who have made their mark in the
world have notoriously bad memories.
That is to say, they are remarkable
for the things they forget, but It will
usually be found that theirs is the
treasure Of q selective memory re.
tanning only what is useful for present
purposes.
A distinguished politician, also
something Of wag, said that he owed
his success to an aptitude for forget
ting everything, including promises
and convictions, but excepting names
and faces.
On the other hand there are count
less instances of men with phenome-
nal memories who scarcely knew
enough to come in out Of the wet.
They are literally peripatetic ency.
clopedias, very useful for reference
purposes to others, but totally unable
to focus their knowledge with any ef.
feet upon given object. Their minds
are junk shops rather than work
shops
AS a French philosopher observed,
general is not great in proportion to
the magnitude Of his army, but in pro-
portion to his command Of the army
for any immediate situation. Better
a small army under perfect control
than an unwieldy force apt to degen.
crate into rabble when faced by su.
perior order. He applied the illustra.
tion to the field of thought and show.
ed that 1t was not the multitude of
disorganized ideas, but the smaller
number well arranged that usually
won mental conflict.
In otho" words, success in life, to
say nothing Of mere competency in
the legal sense, is not matter Of
memory. 1t Is the judiciously selec-
tive rather than the Unfortunately
retentive brain that counts In the bat
tie Of life. Some few men have had
prodigious memories which were not
developed at the expense of the rea,
soning processes, but as rule the
law Of compensation holds, and too
much intellectual fat means too little
intellectual muscles.
