RISE OF RAIL POWER IN WAR AND

Even the average American knows
Of the extraordinary part played by
the railroads OF France and Germany

the great war began, but few ON this

play in the everyday life Of the bat

of the part of the railways in war

ADVISES FOLK WHO
WOULDBE THINNER
Or. Rose Gives Some Rules for
the Reduction of Sur
plus Fat.

OF all worldly possessions an over.
supply of fat is the most undesirable.
The only people who want fat are
those who have nothing but bones. 1t
must hurt to have nothing but bones:
as, for instance, when one sits
through a performance of "Goetter-
dammerung" or is punched, in the
side by the elbow of some one equally
unfleshy.
1t must be admitted, however, that
more people are interested in lessen
ing their respective skeletons of a
too solid weight of flesh than in lay
ing it on for the comfort it is sup
posed to give body and spirit. Wom-
en- would be youthful, and one cannot
be youthful and fat.
Weight Table For Women.
In the American Magazine for Feb
ruary DIR. Robert II. Rose gives an
swers to all the questions fat and
thin people could possibly ever ask
themselves. For both fat and lean
ladies he gives this table:
