STEPPED in the Tully flavor OF col

new Offering unfolds the narrowing
experiences OF q group Of Americans
in the land OF the Montezumas, on the
coast of the Gulf of Mexico. They
penetrate sufficiently inland to en-
the periodic uprisings and
revolutions OF Mexico, and three acts
and eight scenes are utilized in de-
plotting the rapacity, greed and Grim
lnality OF the Latin-Americans at the
expense Of their whittier brethren.

POPULAR MEDICINE
YDR. HIRSHBERG
Intelligent Observation of Rules
of Hygiene will De-
crease Illness.
BY DIR. LEONARD X. HIRsHBERG.

A fair field and no favors in the
matter OF avoirdupois calls for an
average of two to three pounds 10
the inch in height. Below or above
this weight may mean a rejection of
life Insurance application. though
1t may not pressge iII-healtf.
Obesity and Jack Spratness" also
vary with age. Those who are fat.
IL not fair. at forty are at a cruel
disadvantage in the race for health,
wealth and happiness. Adipose It's
sue in those above middle age some
times means a menace to life. II is
decidedly better to be of light weight
past middle age. because you then
have as good an. expectancy" of long
life as those OF normal weight.
A man 5 feet 8 inches in height
and under thirty years of age ought
to weigh between 100 and 10 pounds.
At thirty-four his weight ought not
TO go up as that of most civilized
persons do. but should decrease a
few pounds. At forty he ought to
weigh from 11S to 1872 pounds. in
stead of gaining an excess OF ten to
twenty pounds, as is often evident.
Youth May Weigh More.
Young people may be obese with
less danger than those above forty.
Overweight is an advantage>to young
men IL their abdominal beltline Is not
greater than their chests. 1t is an
ill-favored sign to find the chest less
than the beltline at any age, but II
is emphstically worse after the thir-
ties.
II is not only deficient muscular
exercise and gluttony which are re-
sponsible for rotundity and a "belli-
cose front" More often the mildest
sort of disorder with the thyroid,
pituitary. the adrenals and other
glands may suddenly make a thin
person stout.
Excessive thyroid production and
overactivity OF other glands, on the
contrary. cause leanness. 1t Is on this
account that carefully regulated feed
ings of sleeps thyroid glands, short
Of producing heart palpitatfon, muscu-
lar trembles and rapid pulsations. re-
duce fat in many persons.
Diet Helps REDUCTION.
Diets help reduction, not because
sugars, fats. seasoning. and condi-
ments only are eliminated, but also
because the amount of the rations is
cut down. At least one-half Of the
quantity Of pabulum usually eaten is
to be diminished. Nevertheless, II
should not be carried to the point Of
physical inadequacy and actual
weakness.
Feelings OF weakness on an "eat
and grow thin" diet are not real
weakness. This IL met by frequent
nibbles at things which do not nour-
ish or make adipose tissue.
Reduction methods ought never to
be carried out without a knowledge
that tuberculosis, cancer, or some
other hidden disease which needs fat
are absent. No one should lose more
than two pounds a week. Cereals, al
cohol, fat, sweets, starches, condi-
ments, soups, water, and other liquids
with food. all encourage an extra
and harvest Of fat.
