AUTHOR NOT WISELY GUIDED
Book May Have DeplorabIe Effect on
Humanity, in the Possible Passing
of the Fat Man.

An American author who has made
a name for himself in American letters
threatens to nullify his good work by
standing sponsor for volume entitled
Eat and Grow Thin In this book
he liberalizes to the proportions OF
an epicurean dream the food a fat
person may indulge in and yet melt
his too. too, solid fesh." Fat men
there are, of course, no fat women
who have adopted the generous
Thompson regimen assert that they
are steadily decreasing in avoirdupois
and yet are enjoying bountiful repasts
1t is to weep.
The fat man is the delight of the
world. This is universally conceded.
The fat man is philosopher. despite
what Shakespeare makes Caesar say,
by inference, in his expressed desire
to have about him fat, sleek-headed
men, complaining that the lean and
hungry Cassius thinks too much" The
fat man exudes joyous, unctuous op-
timism that inspires and cheers all
about him. He thinks, however, that
he would prefer to be thin, not reallz-
ing the origin of his blessings. The
only thing that has prevented his be-
coming thin is the fact that most sys-
TENS of diet require sort of starva-
tion-and his provender is more dear
to him than a sylph-like form.
But now that he may eat luxurious
ly and grow thin he is likely to desert
the society that has profited by his
unimpressive and pessimistic. Then
in time of stress and trial thin, wor-
ried people will have no billowy shout
der upon which to weep, no fat phi
losopher to encourage, sustain and
soothe. In time of trouble a fat
friend is in the shadow of great rock
in a weary land. He is fortress
against the slings and arrows of out
rageous fortune-though FaIstaff, fat
and scant of breath, strangely failed to
take advantage of his obesity.
One trembles to think what the
world will be when the fat man be-
| comes extinct. Yet the facts must be
faced in all their horrors When the
fat man has grown lean this will be
waste and desert world, given over
to bony cynics who will howl in the
high places and preach the gospel ol
despair. Therefore, the rash author
is entreated to take his baleful boob
off the market Chicago News.

Electric Furnace Proves Best.

An electric furnace for the heat
treaEfaent of steel used in automobile
construction has been introduced Its
method of producing uniform, depend
able heat that is so urgently sought
by automobile manufacturers is quite
novel in electric furnace practice. al
though its principle is comparable to
that of the well-known Nernst lamp
Both the floor and the domelike COW
ers of this furnace are ola refractory
material which is practically noncon-
ducting at ordinary temperatures. To
start the furnace, current is passed
through bed Of coke laid on its floor
On being sufficiently heated the floor
becomes a conductor and in turn heats
the walls and top, rendering them
conductive, until finally the entire fur
mace becomes incandescent. 1t is
stated by those who have tried the
furnace that it's use in the heat treat
ment of automobile parts promises to
be extensive in the future.

Manifest God,

We find that the selfish striving, the
bitterness and woe that people com
plain of, are only seeming reality.
1t is the picturing forth of false
thought; it is the fruitage of false
statements Our sorrows and desola-
tion, our pains and deformities, our
poverty and bitter misfortune, cur buf-
feting with the world as if we were
footballs of chance, are conditions of
our own making by our acknowledg
ment of another power than the Most
High, who said, Thou shalt have no
other gods before me; thou shalt not
bow down to them nor serve them. -

The Spiritual Man.

1t is a perception of the beauty of
God, a delight in it. a desire after it,
which distinguish the spiritual man
from others. They may feel that God
is great and right; he feels that God
is beautiful. Hence it delights and
soothes and refreshes him to think
of God. 1t is a sense of the beauty of
God that inspires devotion, that makes
the Bible full from beginning to end

saturated compounds. Stated less tech

Farmers in western section of the
country have found way to beat

gallons of cider were made in that sec

cohol remaining.

cider to sit in the warm November
