HERE ARE THE STOUT
PERSONS ENEMIES.

If you are inclined to be fleshy, here
are the foods you should avoid This
is from an article on reducing and
gaining weight in the February Amer
lean Magazine. The author says:
"Overeating is not necessarily glut-
tony, or anything approaching it. A
small meal cade up of certain foods
will furnish more fuel-and more fat
to the body than one twice as large
and less discreetly chosen. Foods vary
vastly in fuel value; for instance, one
pound OF olive oil will stand sponsor
for more surplus flesh tran forty five
pounds OF the lettuce on which we are
likely to eat IL.
THE stout person must learn that
he has both friends and enemies at
the table. His enemies are sugar, bread,
cereal. desserts. butter, cream, olive
oil, bacon, cocoa and rich sauces,
Among his best friends are lean meats,
unsweetened fruits and green foods.
Yet, alas most plump people seem
stricken with an ardent love for their
enemies. This may be good Scripture
but it is mighty poor dietetics."

BETTER PROHIBITION LAW
FOR WEST VIRGINIA;

Charleston. w. Va, Jan. 26.-With
the floor of the Senate Chamber and
the galleries packed, the West Virginia
Senate, after futile efforts had been
made to amend the proposed measure,
to-day, by vote Of "a to 8, passed the
McAboy prohibition bill limiting the
importation of intoxicating liquors in
to West Virginia to one quart during
a period of 80 days.
The three Senators who opposed the
measure on final passages were:
Rosenbloom and Hough, of the First
District, and Coalter, of the Seventh.
The McAboy bill makes no distinc-
ton in the list of intoxicating bever-
ages and the advocates of limited pro-
hibition followed up their success in
the Senate by making the Harvey bill,
which is identified with the McAboy
measure, special order in the House
of Delegates for next Wednesday.

In the list of completed work are two
wells making 100 barrels each in the
Station Camp district, Estill county.
Both were drilled close to the produc-
ing area as defined. Four wells OF fifty
barrels capacity each were reported,
with eight lesser strikes, making from
ten to thirty Eve barrels each. Only
two failures were listed in late re-
turns,
Light results are reported from scat
tered districts, One well OF ten barrels
capacity was drilled in Wayne county,
this being slightly better than the aver
age. One ten-barrel strike and one fail
ure are reported from the Lawrence
county field of Northeastern Kentucky.
Four new wells are under way in
McCreary county, bordering the old
Wayne county district, These are all in
of production. One OF the most
important of new tests is an advance
well on Indian creek, midway between
Knox and Whitley county production,

A vast acreage in that direction will be

ALLEGED CAR ROBBERS
ARE HELD TO COURT

Norman Archie and Elmer Karlck

of Ironton. were given a preliminary
hearing before the United States Com
missioner at Catlettsbury Saturday and
were held on the evidence presented to
the u. $. grand jury under $3.50 bond
each, Archie's brother secured his re-
lease on bond, but Karick is still in
custody,
Division Chief l., Y. Johnson and his
assistant. r L. Kinman. Of Russell,
were both present at the hearing to
give evidence in the prosecution of the
case, on which they both have been at
work for months in the denouement in
which created decided sensation
among the railroad population of Rus
sell
1t Is estimated that the series OF
box car robberies in the Russell yards,
which have been going en- for the past
five years. has cost probably $4,000 IN
merchandise. This may easily be be-
leved when IL is known that the two
detectives turned up on search war

tires, a part OF one shipment stolen,
were found under the river bank below
Russell and shotgun shells, drugs, rer-
chandise and numerous articles were
found strewn along the ravines near
Chinnville.
Sufficient evidence is at hand. 1t is
claimed, to warrant a number OF ar
rests when the proper time comes and
the two detectives who have been
working up the case are receiving the
congratulations of the lawabiding citi-
zens OF Russell and pledges OF their
support in cleaning up on the men re-

HALE LEATHER SHOES FOR SALE.

tation of leather that is SO perfect that
it would be impossible to detect it. The

pont Powder works out of cotton fibre
and it is the claim of the manufac-
turers, that the new substitute is not
only much cheaper than leather. but
that IT will outwear the leather shoe
and look just as well.
The shoe manufacturers are planning
to give the new material thorough
trial and he predicts that in a few
years the leather shoes will become a

Dear Miss Grey: I have
read so many letters in your
column from young men who
claim that there are no sin
cere girls-that all a girl
goes with fellow for Is be-
cause of the money he spends
on her, etc. l have several
brothers and consequently hear
a great deal of what they and
their friends think of differ
emit girls. | just want to say
that I think that for every so
called fast" girl you will find
three men of the same type. 1
don't go with boys at all, as l
have never seen one that l
thought was worth wasting my
time on. They seem to prefer
the kind Of girl who after meet
ing her allows them to take her
home and on the way stops for
a sundae, and by the time home
is reached they are calling each
other by their nick names and
have an engagement for the
next night.
I know what a hard time my
brother has earning his money
and yet the girl he takes to
the shows Is the one that tries
to keep him from spending more
than he ought. So you see, /
know there are that sort Of
girls.
I don't think any young man
would have hard time finding
the kind of girl he wanted II he
tried. The fact is that the
girls don't come right to them
and they are too lazy to go in
search of one. II I were a
boy and hadn't met the girl
that suited me I would be on
the lookout, and II I saw a girl
on the street that looked like
