How 10 Reduce"

have a letter from y. d. S" in
curing If there is reliable cure for
fat While this is not a health coli
umn, still | confess an interest in this
topic. If 81. L. s." is having trouble
reducing he might go to Mesopo-
tamia and perspire. Our old friend.
Sulim +. Raja, writes that a fat per-
son simply melts and runs down in
that climate. AS early i'm the morn
ing as daybreak one awakes to find
himself bathed in perspration. The
cool" of the night means n tempera-
ture Of 80 degrees; by II O'Clock the
temperature rises TO 100 degrees, and
at midday the air simply burns the
lungs Nobody remains fat in MeSO-
potamla, aud nobody works If it can
be avoided, and Sulim tells me that
II generally Is avoided under the pre-
text OF turning everything over TO

Whittllnu Judne of Alabama

l have heard of whittlers and have
seen few in my day, writes a contrib
utor TO the Birmingham Ledger, but
the most consistent whittier within the
range Of my memory was Judge Sam
uel Henry Sprott of Tuscaloosa. whose
whiting proclivities while on the
bench made him known throughout
Alabama. He was also known widely
for his great knowledge Of law and
the administering of 1t. When Judge
Sprott was holding court there were
always two or three long, clear strips
Of white pine resting on the desk be-
side him, and when he started on a
case he also started whiting. The
more interested he became in the ar
guments of the lawyers the faster he
whitfield. 1t was very interesting to
watch him WELD the knife; whiting
appeared to be second nature to him.

Every drug store In the city was open
as usual yesterday. despite the strike
ordered by the United Drug Clerks

stores in Brooklyn and The Bronx
were crippled by tho walk-out, but in
no case was the situation serious
enough to warrant shut down.
Union leaders said last night the
walk-out of 1000 members had hit ell
OF the 300 stores of the city, but re-
ports from the several pharmaceutical
associations were that the effect of the
strike had been exaggerated. Robert

the fourteen druggist organizations of
The city said last night that few of the
pharmacists were on strike in Manhat-
tan.
Of the 1900 drug stores in Brook

20 per cent were affected. In Browns

Gales added, were Immediately re-

Elements reported BY the union came
from The Bronx.
Health Commissioner Copeland said
that Mendel Zagat, president of the
Bronx County Pharmaceutical Assoca-
tlon, assured him that the public would
be taken care Of. Mr.. Zagat placed the
number of strikers at 5000. and said
he did not think any OF the Bronx
stores would be forced to shut down.
An effort to settle the strike is be
ing made by John J. Bealin. special
agent for the bureau Of mediation and
