FAT

Persons doomed to wear lean and
hungry look from the cradle to the
grave envy those who are more gen.
erously upholstered and sigh for avoir-
dupois. while those who land the
ground would be lean.
A man denied generous covering
for his bones may apear unbeautiful
at the bath. but he has the consoling
assurance that clothes will conceal
his poverty of flesh. The fat man is
less fortunate Nude or arrayed in
fine linen, he still frankly protrudes
into outer space. He gets i'll his own
way. He is an unceasing annoyance
to himself. And his affection is made
greater by the fact that his fat is
locaiized-or rather centralized-so
that he sits in his own lap and walks
always one pace behind the front part
OF him.
For the removal of superflous fat,
there are numerous diets, exercises,
and medicines The diet and eXer-
cises fail because the patient loses
faith after twenty-four hours have
whizzed by without effecting notice
able depreciation, and the medicines
either fail or remore health along
with the fat
The case of the fat is not hopeless.
They may grow lean if they will
Either of the following plans is guar
anteed to make last years clothes re-
quire tucks.
For male persons between the ages
of fifteen and fifty: First, stop eating
before the eyes protrude. Second. after
the morning and midday meals walk
fifty yards to an implement known
as the pillow. grasp two handles
firmly, and say in loud and author
itative tone of voice to the animal fls-
tened to the front end of the imple
ment: Get up, there" Follow the
animal for a period of FIVE hours, be-
ing careful to avoid profanity and
thought of shade trees. The treatment
should continue three months.
For persons who are not males:
Stop eating as soon as you would II
guests were present. After breakfast
bend over a common tub containing
hot water and a corrugated board
Pick up a soiled garment-any gar
ment will do-immerse it in the hot
water. rub it with cake of soap, and
cause it to travel rapidly up and down
on the corrugated surface of the
board Continue the motion.
After the midday meal find polish
ed stick of wood to which straws
have been affixed by broom manu-
facturer Grasp the stick firmly, one
hand we'll above the other, and drag
the straws along the floor with a
vigorous sweeping motion.
These two exercises will not only
remove fat, but will prevent nervous
ailments and the habit of loafing
downtown. where the prohteer lieth
in wait with a dainty frock that may
be had in exchange for a months
earnings of a strong man.-Colliers

small boy who leaves his picture
book outdoors over night and discov-
ers in the morning that it has been
stolen or rain-soaked realizes that the
misfortune is his own fault If he is
rough with his toys and breaks them
he must learn to be more careful If
he doesn't feed his pet rabbit, it dies,
if he fails to care for his garden, the
flowers are soon checked with weeds.
In training the child, his opinions
should be respected and parents
should take time and have patience
to show him wherein he is right or
wrong. He certainly cannot always
have his own way, now nor in the
future; therefore he must learn to-
obey before he is fit to command,
and careful, constant training is need
ed to produce this results Children
should be chums with their parents.
and should also have the companion
ship of other children and learn to
"get along" without difficulties or
quarrels; adaptability is essential to
happiness.

and teach them personal. home, school

From the training of the home good
citizens should be graduated into the
schools, from the schools to the col

Seed Wheat.


Save seed wheat from the crop no
matter il il is poor. The extra plump
seed is no better than the lighter. The
best way to procure the best seed
wheat is to go over on acre and cut out
all cheat, cooked and wild onions. Cut
the area separately and thresh separate
ly. Do not use the first seed that comes
through the separator as II will con-
tain some OF the general run of wheat
After threshing run through a good
tanning mill to blow out trash and
put in safe place until seeding time
III there are any traces of sinking
smut, the wheat should be given the
formaldhyde treatment before sowing
By this method seed may be obtained
from even a poor crop that is likely
to be better adapted, cleaner and more
desirable in many ways than wheat
that can be bought IL is on hand when
wanted. The best varieties are grown
in Kentucky. They have all been tried.
There are none better.
Soil Washing
By far the greatest cause OF loss in
soils is washing. The most practical
and effective means of controlling
erosion is to keep the ground occup-
led with growing crops. Every field
now in cultivated crop should have
on it this winter a cover crop of
some kind, wheat and rye being the
most practical crops. A rye cover
crop is worth more than it costs even
if it should not be pastured in the
spring.
