"Do you think all women, II in good
health, could reduce as you have

Absolutely. The trouble with wom-

ton of eating too much. They would
rather taste a chocolate drop than be
able to think rapidly or move about
gracefully"
do you consider dieting infallible%
Indeed, do Look at me. My fig
ure has improved every day since
started, and there is little room left
for further improvement. Most wom-
en- are lazy-downright lazy. They
start to exercise, keep 1t up for two
days or a week and then stop. They
start to diet, keep it up for two meals
or two days and then slip.
"Stout women are handicapped a
great deal in life. If they are indff-
ferent about their weight and happy in
spite of 1t, well and good. But those
who long and dream of getting thin
are more to be scolded than pitied. All
they have to do is to eat celery and
maybe watermelon, drink water and
walk. They're bound to reduce"

DR.. Mosher has been experimenting

patient could decide on the particular
flower or weed pollen which caused his
affection he had only to inoculate HIM

sweetheart, who she says is the son of
celebrated Austrian general"
She walked from Warsaw to Lem
berg, passing over places where there
had been hard fighting and gathering
mementos. From Lemberg she went
to the outskirts of Cracow. She says
she became obsessed with the idea that
her sweetheart had been killed on the
battlefield there, and she wandered for
several days over it, hoping to find
some trace of him.
She called her experience a might

She made her way from Cracow to

believes she will soon hear from the
young Austrian officer, having learned
that his command escaped.

II don't want to destroy life. I want to make the
world better place to live If the United States gets
into it and there should be attack, shall make
worse than is today Mr. Edison credited with say
ing.
If such accomplishment is possible doubt Mr. Edi-
could make good He has in the past been credited
with remarkable statements, but he has proven
whenever necessary that he could make them good.
There is something uncanny about Thomas A. Edison
To him the term of wizard is correctly applied If Mr.
Edison has knowledge of the secret Of making more
deadly than is today it is sincerely to be hoped that he
is compelled to dvuge it. But if worst came to
worst Mr. Edison's skill and scientific knowledge might
be a substantial aid than the confined battleshp

NEW YORK, June 3.-A letter
from Major-General Edward Etuart-
Wortley, commander of a British army
corps in France, is made public here
by his brother, Ralph Stuart ortley
Of New York, giving this distinguished
officers tribute to the behavior of a
scrihing the horrors which resulted
from the use of asphyxiating gases
by the Germans.
The effect of these gases upon the
men who inhale them, he says, has
been to turn all the tissues of the
lungs into liquid, and during the two
days that it takes for the men to die
the victims are "the most hopeless,
helpless, sickening sight imaginable
The letter follows:
"You will of course have read of
the fighting that has been going on
around Ypres just lately, and of the
magnificent behavior Of the Canadian
division. In their attack on the
Ypres salient the Germans made use
of asphyxiating gases. This gas is
disseminated both in shells and bombs
and also from cylinders, which are

zles pushed through the parapets. The
taps of the cylinders are then turned
on and the gas, which is, as far as we
know, chlorine, is pumped out. The
gas, which is heavier than air, and
which is blown by the wind across ou1
lines, sinks into our trenches and kills
or incapacitates any men who happen
to be in them. The effect of the gas
can also be felt as far back as Eve OF
six miles and produces headache and
a smarting of the eyes.
''The German papers as we'll as
falsely accusing US Of making use Of
poisonous fumes, apparently defend
their conduct by stating that the dis
semination Of this gas results in a
swift and painless death for those with
whom it comes in contact, and conse-
quently is less barbarous than sub.

from which great physical and mental
torture must necessarily be endured
