What are the burdens Of obesity
and why does it shorten life: asks
the Journal Of the American Medical
Association. various answers, mostly
indefinite in character, may be forth
coming in reply TO this question. TiS-
sue fat must be carried about like any
ether incubus. We are reminded that
overweight puts strain on the heart

up the diaphragm and cramps the
lungs A gaining adult who is already
overweight may find his physical ac-
tivities restrained and bodily exertion
made labored Accordingly, with an
unchanged food intake the surplus Of
unused energy accumulates and a vi
cious cycle is presently established.
The obese person inevitably limits his
exercise; he grows heavier from the
unused reserves, and his activity there
upon becomes even more restrained
and limited. Overlooking, obesity ana
lack of exercise interplay until big

PROVIDES FARMS FOR POOR
SeIf-HeIp Project Fathered by Nebras-
ka Philanthropist Seems Move
in Right Direction.

a. D. Watson. millionaire farmer
and philanthropist Of kearney, Neb.,
who is perhaps doing more than any
other one man in the United States
to make the "back-to-the-land'' move
ment reality, is in Alamosa inveSti-
eating the advantages of the San Luis
valley as q place to locate one Of his
community farm projects, 0. E. Meyer
writes in the Rocky Mountain News.
Mr.. Watson already has acquired a
tract of 800 acres at Carbonate. Colo,
and is now making arrangements for
starting one of his farm communities
there. However. The Carbonate lis
trict is limited in extent and land is
higher priced, and he found it mex
pedient to acquire as large a tract
as he wanted. He will settle family
on each 90 acres of the Carbondale
tract, and the only condition which
Mr.. Watson places upon an applicant
for one of his community tracts is
that the applicant be absolutely With
out money or other property.
The tenant is located on the tract
with all necessary tools, stock and
seed furnished In addition he is
furnished with q sum of money during
the first year. After that the land is
expected, to produce enough to make
n living for the family and provide a
sinking fund for paying for the land.
In six or eight years the farmer. II
ne is the right sort, owns his land.

MODERN LIFE IN OLD CITY
Changes in Bagdad Might Well Cause
caIiphs to Turn Over in Their
Gorgeous Tombs.

Bagdad, the city Of caliphs. the
scene of the deeds Of, the good Harun-
ai-Rashid Of arabian Nights" fame,
is now enjoying the strangest sights
in its 1900 years Of history. The
British have brought the Strand to
its bazaars. the motorboat to the Ii
girls and the automobile to its time
eaten gates.
Bagdad enjoys an English weekly
magazine. published in English and
Arabic, including some OF the latest
brand of British humoi, and excellent
portraits of the leading muezzins and
sheiks. There are number of Brit
ish banks doing business in the city,
branches of great institutions famous
the world over.
British hotels are there offering
roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with
ale and stout to wash them down.
They have Turkish baths, billiard
rooms, palm gardens and are furnished
with English furniture throughout.
British stores sell perfumery, novels,
clothing for male and female OF the
latest styles of London and Paris. One
leading department store in the old
city advertises: "What you may not
get in other stores in Bagdad you
can get in ours" says the Wall Street
Journal.
One may soon see some lordly son
of the desert driving in his hivver to
the local hotel to partake of the
roast beef and ale Of old England
