SENSIBLE WAYS OF REDUCING Flesh

Obesity to the average woman is
the one black cloud of fear that hoVers
over an otherwise clear horizon. To
be fat (not plump or bit stout, but
just plain fa) means death to all
beauty, according to her viewpoint.
Only in a smart slimness is there
safety. Accordingly she fights to re-
pei the enemy avoirdupois as she
would no other foe. She uses every
means in her power, fair or foul, to
rid herself of this hostile invader.
The trouble is that those women
who are determined to reduce usually
do so at the expense of health and
nerves. They are so eager to lose
weight that they often do not see
that they are losing health and looks
as well.
Dangerous Methods.
Every case Of rapid and great reduc-
ton is followed by nervous breakdown
and general physical collapse. Long
drawn out illness is a frequent result
of the measures adopted by women
eager to reduce.
There is a safe and sane way to
lower your weight, just as there. are
many dangerous ways. Be very care
full that the method you follow comes
under the former head, or the conSe-
quenCes may be most serious. First
let us touch lightly On few of the
dangerous ways before we turn our
attention to the right way.
Amy anti-fat or fat reducing pills or
-rlF,,r CHI h1 I'd b No
plague, for they are quite as harm
tul. 1t is impossible to reduce by
taking any patent medicines unless
they contain the most poisonous of
drugs, Hundreds of instances could
be quoted where physical ruin was
the result of taking anti-fat pill or
powders. SO don't believe the 81 cry
wOrded advertisements you read. but
avoid them one and all
Baths of various kinds of salts are
favorite methods Of reduction among
women, who do not use their common
sense They notice after each bath
that they are as weak as babies. being
scarcely able TO stand. Yet they con-
tinue until the bitter end. COnse-
quently they usually finish the series
Of salt bath treatments by complete
physical prostration No, Baths of
physical prostration. No! Baths Of
salt are much too weakening to be of
any service to the sensible woman
who is bent on reducing.
Diet and exercise are the proper
means to bring about a loss Of flesh,
hut both must be done in the proper
moderation.
It Takes Time.
The right kind OF a diet may not
show immediate results. but a month
of it viii show some loss in weight
the second month even more, and by
the third month you will have lost all
that ECu wanted to lose.

WHY WOMEN

To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine2" Are they truthful Z? "
why do women write such letters? "
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
On untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands OF women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink

There is always an overflow of stran
gers in Troy during the berry season.

borers are usually the first arrivals

GuardSmen.
MANY DIsCoMFoRTS AHEAD.

But There Is a Wide Variety of Seem
cry and Much to Interest the Volun-
teers Who Are Doing Patrol Duty.
Lower Part of Border Will Fascinate
the Recruits.
San Antonio, Tex.-Campaigning upon
the Mexican border is no pleasant pic
mic in these hot summer days for the
thousands of unacclimated men from
the northern states. Notwithstanding
the many discomforts that will be en-
countered by the raw and unseasoned
military men they will find portions of
the frontier region full of fascinating
interest. This is particularly true of
that part of the border which extends
from the mouth of the Rio Grande
along the course of that stream for
more than GOO miles. When the upper
reaches of the Rio Grande begin to
break into a rough, barren, monoto-
nous country that runs westward all
the way to the Pacific ocean the wild
beauty and striking strangeness that
characterize the lower border begin to
wane.
There is a marked difference In the
summer climate of the various points
along the border, due to the varying
altitude and the nearness of the ocean.

GIRL NEARLY BROWNS

San Francisco.-A sensational res
cue from drowning, in which the lead
ing roles were played by Miss Jew.
ell WEIGH, twenty years old and pretty,
and Harry A. Clark, engineer with the
Royal Insurance company, was staged
In the waters of the Larkspur estuary.
Miss Welch, who with a party of
friends was making a week end visit
on board Clarks houseboat Rockaway,
attempted to swim from the boat to the
shore, 500 feet. She reached shore in
safety and then plunged into the water
to swim back TO the ark.
Suddenly she was caught by the
strong undertow of the stream and dis.
appeared from sight. Friends on the
deck of the boat, knowing that Miss
WEIGH was an expert swimmer, be
lieved that she was "doing stunts"
She finally appeared above the sur
face and cried for help, beating the wa
ter wildly.
Clark, who was standing on the deck
fully clothed, plunged in and reached
the spot just as she sank beneath the
water Clark dived and caught her by
the hair.
Spectators on shore looked calmly on,
thinking it was a moving picture thrill
er. In a few minutes Clark had the girl

SOLDIERS IMPRovIsED HUT TO PROTECT
HIM FROM HEAT.
Many people would suppose that
Brownsville, situated far down toward
the tropics and within twenty-five
miles of the mouth of the Rio Grande,
would be a veritable inferno during
the hot weather months. Just the con-
trary is true. The climate there in
summer is delightful. The ever blow
ing trade winds sweep inward from
the gulf of Mexico, tempering the heat
of the sun. The effect of the gulf
"breeze" is felt along the Rio Grande
for more than 200 miles.
The towns and military stations OF
Harrington, Mercedes, Donna, Mission,
McAllen, Samfordyce, Hidalgo, San
Benito, Edinburg, Rio Grande City,
Roma, Zapata. Laredo, Fort Brown,
Fort Ringgold and Fort Mcintosh are
all within the zone that is tempered
by the constantly blowing breeze from
the gulf From Laredo all the way
west to the Pacific ocean the summer
temperature varies in intensity. The
breeze that usually blows from the
mountains of the states of Coahuila
and Tamaulipas has a cooling effect
upon the climate of the border from
Laredo to the edge of the Big Bend
country, taking in the towns of Eagle
Pass and Del Rio.
If there is anything that the soldier
from other states fervently hopes for
above others it is that he be kept out
of the Big Bend region. From now on
until November an almost steady tenn
perature ranging from 10 to 100 in
the shade can be counted on. There
is not a tree or shrub to break the ter
rife rays of the sun.
Most of the larger cities of Mexico
are well situated at~altitudes ranging
from 5000 to 1000 feet. Saltillo, Du-
range, Zacatecas, Aguas Calientes. San
Luis Potosi Puebla, Pachuca, City Of
Mexico, Guadalajara, Oaxaca, Morelia
and many other cities and towns have
delightful summer climates, while the
temperature in winter is mild and
pleasant. The climate of Monterey
and Torreon is hot, but not oppressive
" so. The gulf coast cities of Tam
pico. Vera Cruz, Coatzacoalcos, Tuxpan
and Progreso are refreshed by cooling
breezes. The same is true of the Pa
cific coast cities of Guaymas, Mazat-
Ian. Manzanilla. Acapulco and Salina
Cruz.
The climate of the border towns of
Columbus, n. NJ; Douglas, Naco and
Nogales. Ariz., is not as unbearable In
summer as one who has not gone
through n living experience upon that
part of the border might suppose. The
nights are usually pleasant and the
days are relieved by breeze from
the mountains. The region, however
is desolate and uninvitiAg.
II is the mystery of the chaparral
covered region of the lower Rio Grande
border that appeals most to the aver
age visitor to the frontier. Upon both
sides Of the international boundary
stream the low growing mesquite trees,
cat claws, prickly pear and innumer-
able other varieties of thorny shrubs
and plants form an almost impene-
trab'e wilderness.

Mrs. Trepel Did Not Read Liability
WARNING on BATHING Envelope.


New York.-Because Mrs. Jack Ire
pei did not read the warning on an en-
velope for valuables supplied to her by
the Deanville Bathing company, Su-
preme Court Justice Erlanger has
granted a motion awarding her S1,9T9
instead of the $50 which the bathing
concern stated on their envelope was
the limit of their liability for lost prop
erty.
When Mrs. Trepel went for a swim
one day last summer she slipped her
rings into the envelope, sealed it and
left it with the company for safe keep
ing, after signing her name just above
the restricted liability clause.
She did not get back her jewelry and
sued for its value. Justice Erlanger
said there was no proof Mrs. Trepel
had seen the warning and so agreed to
the proprietor's limit on responsibility

Mrs. Kinney, seeing the plight of her
