Diet for the Lean.

DR.. Louis Henry Levy, in Pictorial
Review says:
Though the lean individual may be
the more agile and vigorous, leanness
is also associated with those of a
nervous temperament. 1t is not al
ways a desirable condition, since it
prematurely ages the face by the early
appearance of wrinkles. It is also the
accompaniment Of ehronically diseased
stomachs, resulting from disturbed
digestion and po,;r absorption of the
digested foods.
''The foods which are best adapted
for the lean are those that have been
denied to the obese persOn-the
starches, sugars, and fats, but sutfi-
cient care must be exercised to pre-
vent disturbing an entirely good stOm-
ach. Let the lean one eat well of the
rich foods and sever relations with
the sour and spicy ones. Above all,
let her cultivate a sunny, restful dis
position, with a nervous system under
steady control, for these are the trade
marks of the robust and plump per-
son."

EPUbLICANS EASY
WINNERS IN STATE
Late Returns Show All Candi-
dates Have Big Margin.
Philip HAS LEGISLATURE
Wisconsin Goes for Hughes by $4,000
While Other Nominees of G. 0. P.
Have Still Larger Plural
tiles.

MadiSon.-Late returns only served
to confirm the early estimates of the
big pluralities given to United States
Senator Robert 81. La Toilette and all
the Republican candidates on the state
ticket. Senator La Toilette led the
other Republican candidates in the to-
tai vote, but the entire state ticket
was elected by pIuralities ranging from
10000 to $4,000. The state gave Hughes
a plurality of about 25,000 for presi-
dent.
The winning candidates for state Of
ices, all Republicans, are as follows
Governor-E. l.. Philip.
Lieutenant GovernOr-E. f. Dithmar.
Secretary of State-Merlin Hull.
State Treasurer-Henry Johnson.
Attorney General-Walter @. Owen.
Governor Philip will be backed for
the next two years by safe majority
in both houses of the legislature.
Socialists increased their represen-
tatiOn in both branches of the legiS-
lature, and have nine members in the
house and three in the senate. The
strength of the Socialists was shown
principally in Milwaukee county S
vote in the election Of the district at
tOrney.
Ire legislature will be strongly Re-
publican. Late returns emphasize the
fact that the governor will have a
comfortable working majority in the
senate. It was in the upper house OF
he last legislature that some Of the
administration measures were de-
feated.
OF the So senators, Of whom IS are
holdovers, and IS wore elected on
Tuesday, Philip appears to have Is,
majority Of the senate. That body
presents this complexion: Phillip, IS
'rOgressives, 6; Democrats, 6; So
cialists, 3. In the last senate there
were II Progressives and II senators
counted on as supporters of the gen
eral program of the administration.
For the first time in many years
Wisconsin will send a solid Republic
an delegation to congress. The G. o.
L. gained three places in the delega-
don which stood eight Republicans
and three Democrats in the last con-
gress. These men were elected on
Tuesday in the several congressional
districts:
First, II. A. Cooper; Second, e,
Voight; Third, John NJ. Nelson !;
Fourth, w. J. Cary; Fifth, w. III. STAFF
