The biu introduced into congress a short time ago by Congressman r. 0. smith to make a present to Canada of what Is known as the panhandle Of Alaska providing that England would make certain concession with reference to the Panama canal would seem to be too ridiculous to discuss were 1t not for the fact that this proposition Is constantly being men, ticned and being aggitatcd in a quiet way by strong influences in congress and Canada. There is ;l movement in western Canada looking to this end. EI. Thompson a member of the Ca radian parliament from the Yukon district supported by the members from British Columbia and Alberta are back of the movement Tho Brit
 ish Columbia members will propose that the United States and the i'm perial governments with the view of making some exchange for tho strip of land which now is barrier to Western Canada shutting her from the Pacific ocean. It has been suggested by the far western members or the Canadian government that other ter ritory be exchanged for this Alaskan territory British Honduras and Brit iFf Guinea both being suggested. The territory which Canada Is seeking to
 'uire consists of islands of tho Alexander archipelago and strip of coast on the main land running south from near Juneau. It Is a narrow fringe along the coast of British Co., lrmbia 6e0 miles long and of varying width from eight to thirtyifive miles.
 This strip of land. 1t is claimed by the British Columbia people. shuts off the Yukon territory. the northern half of British Columbia territory and the cEtire Mackenzie basin from free ac- cess to the Pacific coast It shuts of northern British Columbia and nlso northern Alberta from the sen and promises to be serious menace tt the prosperity of those sections of Canada. When the United States pur- chased Alaska this narrow fringe along the coast had no particular value to either the United States ar England. England was at that seek ing to protect the Hudson Fay Fur Company which had occupied tho in- terior territory and the United States acquired the territory occupied at
 that time by tho Russians who hnl not left the coast but for short dis tance. The development of western Canada in recent years makes an sVtlet necessary to her future pros-

familiar example illustrating this
principle may be seen in large city
any day in the gait of the letter car
rier and the policeman. The fast
walk of the postman is unfavorable
to the deposit of fat, while the
saunter of the policeman results in
greatly increased size and weight
The difference in the gait accounts
for the fact that the large majority
of mail carriers are thin, while most
policemen are stout.

THERE are three forms Of obes-
ity according to experts, and
each is due to different cause.
The commonest form Is caused by
over-eating and under-exercise. The
second is due TO derangcment Of the
pancreas, that large, fleshy gland sit
rated under aud behind the stomach
which secretcs fluid that aids the
processes Of digestion. The third. and
least common, is due to atrophy of
The thyroid gland
The first class of fat persons suffer
from ordinary causes and can be
cured by ordinary methods. unless

conducive to Discrimination for mental
or bodily eXertion. So is a vicious
circle formed which can only be
broken by rousing the mental and
bodily forces to proper exercise.
This IS the theory upon which Mr.
Jack Cooper proceeds in reduction
treatment in his athletic school and
his private classes in New York, the
latter having included John Purroy
Mitchell the recently elected Mayor of
New York, He bases his work upon
the fact that those muscles which
are least used become overlaid
with fat, that varies in depth from
one eighth Of an inch to four inches,
according to the degree of obesity
You can determine easily which is
fat and which muscle. Take it be
tween your fingers That which Won
can lift is fat.
The first class of fat can be cured
by exercise and diet alone, providing
the person does not wait too long, so
long that structural changes have
taken place in the blood vessels. In
that case it will be necessary to Sc
cure the services of "A physician.
The second class can be materially
benefited by exercise, but the patient
should at the same time be under
the care of a physician who will reg
ulate the exercises
The third form, Mr.. Cooper be-
lieves. Is the only kind in which
taking thyroid extract is of any
value. and the doses should be ex-
trcmely small. Those persons who in
their frantic desire to grow thin have
taken thyroid extract have usually
taken overdoses and suffered in con
sequence.
The object of the exercises is to
improve the breathing capacity and
increase the size and power of all the
muscles of respiration. Especially
should they focus upon The stomach
and abdominal muscles. which. in
women particularly, have been 50 con
