This here now Teller Sigmund,
With his purity poetree,
Now il you believe ne, Mawruss,
He don't make no hit with me.
For guy that's got some papers
And a desk to put EN- in,
He should ought to keep 'em in it
Where his papers ought to been,
Oder you believe me, Mawruss,
It's sin!
Now y understand me, Mawruss,
If the Teller wants to sing
About his lofty mountains, brooks
And seas and everything.
Why, amt got no objections
To his singin' loud and long
And I'd even stop and listen
To the sweetness of his song. -.
But to call 'em foolish dollars
OF! that's wrong!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Sweat Yourself.

Do hot sweat baths remove So
perfluous flesh or just make . per-
son weaker? Where can a person
get the massage treatment? What
are electric baths for? They say
they take off flesh, weigh 235
pounds. Could 1 afford to lose so
pounds and how could I 60 about
to do it?-Mrs. M. B.
Answer-Artificial sweating will
not appreeiably reduce flesh. Mas
sage treatment is obtainable just
around the corner almost every
where, though I should not advise
it. Electric baths are a form of
amusement for the lazy obese. I
should think you could well afford
to lose so pounds, though not il

Answef.-It is a. good form of
exercise for you and will tend to
keep your hips in correct proper
ton.
Why NotSMedicine.
l like your articles very much
and never miss reading them, be-
cause you do not preach medicine.
Mrs. V. N.
Answer.-Yet I am a great believ-
er in medicines, intelligently used
The reason why l do not preach
medicine" is merely because a doc
tor cannot intelligently prescribe
medicines for patients he has not
examined.
