:sANTI-FAT CRUSADE
Experiment Being Made In Re-
ducing Weight by a Special
Diet

Chicago, May 12-Fat persons all
oyer the United States are watching
with great interest the ;sixty-day ex-
pertinent in reducing weight which is
being conducted here under the SUI
!, 'percision Of DR.. John Dill Robertson
city health commissioner. Inquiries
already received here suggest the pro-
liability that if the Chicago experiment
! is successful it may be tried in other
communities.
4 y Success reported in the first week
when the average weight of the "a
women composing the first class was
reduced 80 pounds has prompted the
organization Of other classes in this
! city and altogether more than 200 per-
sons here are trying to see how rap
idly they can regain their youthful IL
gures.
| Tile leaders Of the fat elimination
contest here aver that the experiment
can be tried by anyone suffering from
surplus Of averdupois. Reasonable
exercise and a strictly controlled diet
constitute two of the chief features OF
the. Chicago experiment.
The daily menus of the reducing
class are prepared by Miss Ruth Will
bar, of the health commissioners
training school for nurses, who be-
lieves this supervision Of diet to be
essential to success. Those ambitious
to- become slim are permitted to have
lean meat but once day and potatoes
are forbidden. If one is hungry be-
tween meals Miss Wflbaf suggests that
glass Of water will satisfy that "emp
ty feeling
Here is a typical menu prepared by
Miss Wilbar for one day:
j. Breakfast One medium apple, one
egg, one slice of toast, one cup
of coffee with one and a half table
spoons Of skinned milk instead of
cream.
1o:3g a. M, one-half cup Of bullion
With one cracker.
Luncheon: Medium serving of lean
cold roast beef; two thin slices of rye
bread; lettuce and cottage cheese sal
nd; two and one-half tablespooi.;itl
Of French dressing; tea with lemon;
one cracker
Dinner: Large serving OF oolleo
cod with lemon; large serving of plain
caulifower;; one scant teaspoon of but
ter; lettuce salad Or celer3.; one-hal1
orange; black coffee.
I 1890 p. n: one-half cup of hot
skim milk.
Each Of the women is expected to-
work an hour a day in her garden-f
She has a garden-otherwise to take
long walks and setting up exercises.
!. Daily the women report by telephone
and receive instructions, including
diet Tor the following day. on Thurs
day of. each week they report at the
city hall and are weighed, and the
weeks 1oss-or gain-recorded on

EDITORS WILL ENJOY BOAT RIDE

Helena, Ark, June 2-The beauti- full steel hull steamer, Kate Adams, the finest and one of the largest steamboats plying the Mississippi River, will be used to convey the Ark ansas newspaper men and those from other states to Memphis at the close of the convention of the Arkansas Press Association to be held here June 17th, 18th, and 18th. The handsome steamer will leave Helena for Mem- phis Saturday afternoon, and reg ular Kate Adams supper (famed throughout the Mississippi valley) will be served en route. The spacious ball room will be turned over to the young folks Gold folks, too, if they feel like joining in the dancing) and the steamers orchestra augmented, perhaps, for the occasion will flood the majestic stream with music as the graceful steamer ploughs her way up stream. Such trip can not be forgotten by those who are fortunate enough to enjoy it, and there will doubtless be aboard many excursion ists who remember the ride on the river. If so, they will undoubtedly be reminded of the palatial steamers of Mark Twain's day on the Mississ- ippi and the stirring river scenes of those times. The Kate Adams has all the grace and beauty of the old time seamers, with every modern con- yenience, some of them undreamed
 of fifty years ago-and twice the safety of those days.

HUMOROUS BATTLE SCENES

"To be sure not all the scenes aboard the Lawrence even under those stern conditions, were of 90 serious kind," says an article by George B. Bryan on "Alexander Perry, Real Seascout," describing the experiences of this twelve year old boy at the Battle of Lake Erie. "The Commo- dore had pet dog which, when the firing had commenced, had scurried below and hid in a closet where was stored the crockery belonging to the officers mess. A cannon bali came hurtling through the vessels side, smashed in the closet door, and broke most of the crockery to bits. The dog, though unharmed, seemed to feel that no spot was safe from intrusion and set up protest of howls and
 barks. Lieutenant Yarnell had suf- fered scalp wound, to which Dr. Par Sons had hastily applied lint, tying down the dressing with a big ban dana. Stored on deck, as we have |
 noted, were the sailors hammocks.
 These had been stuffed, for want of something better, with the downy ma terial gathered from cat-tail tops. Ere long the hammocks were shot to pieces
 and the cat tail down floated in the
 air like the flakes of miniature snow
 storm. A mass of it adhered to Lieu tenant YarnelPs bloody head and face and as if this were not enough, the
 lieutenant's nose was bruised by a splinter and swelled to vast propor- tions. When Yarnell presented him. self in the cockpit for further atten- ton, he looked, Dr. Parsons said, for all the world like a huge owl; and even in those surroundings wounded men set up laugh at his bizarre ap-
 pearance, and called out that the Devil had come for them. These and

G(lVERNOR BROUGH REFUSES PARDON
. .rFs THAT MATTER MUST GO rupouGH PROPER :. LEGAL
 nporEsSES" = HAS SEVERAL nAY STO APPEAL.

ratle Rock, June Ex-Governor
 p,ouph yesterday afternoon after ma .,,e deliberation in the case of Alex M.nonald, who was recently fined ,s0O and sentenced to six months in ;su bv Judge Archer Wheatley, at yoresboro. issued statement declin- ;ac to act until the matter had gone .hro,gh all the proper legal processes.
 Gov Brough said that there had been presented to him very strong nstition urging the pardon of McDon- .,d in which it is stated that the .ourt was not in session at the time McDonald entered the courtroom in menacing manner, and that he ,ould not therefor have been in con- tempt.
 This contention does not agree with q statement contained in a letter from Judge Wheatley, who says that court was in session at the time.
 The Governor further stated that McDonald has several days yet in which to take an appeal, which would automatically serve as stay of exc c1tion. Judge Wheatley says that the accused was guilty of the following offenses:
 Interfering with the ordinary pro cedure of a court, punishable as a contempt.
 Forcing litigants to surrender rights then being adjudicated by the courts punishable as contempt.
 Carrying a concealed weapon, pun ishable by fine and Imprisonment.
 Aggravated assoult, punishable by fine up to 5000.
 Conspiracy to obstruct the admiris- Nation of justice, punishable by irn- prisonment of one to fifteen years.
 Judge Wheatley says that if blan- ket pardon be issued to man of this type, then the governor twill doubt less be called upon for many more pardons."
