ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENT

Dear Doctor:
1.-The subject of this letter is fat
my own fat Tt is positively the rob-
Der of my happiness and all claims to
comeliness that have ever had. But
dostor, dear, dear doctor! I am so
very much dismayed. I have follow
ed your instructions, and not lost a

ach Friday, but did not have an OPP
portunity to weigh until Saturday

ognize me when I had put on the ex-
cess weight. With many thanks for
the good work you are doing to help
me.-Mrs. G. FL
My dear Mrs. C. F.:
If you had weighed Friday when
you began, you would have had a
better idea of your loss. 1t is prob
able that the first day you lost three
pounds in weight. And it Is also
probable that you continued to lose,
but your system retained water and
that kept the scale up. There is an
other possibility, the scale might have
varied. And did you take the pre-
cautions about weighing that L gave
that is. to weigh on the same scales,
and at the same time in relation to
eating and elimination, and in the
same weight clothes? You will lose
if you follow directions, I promise
you.

work you are doing to help me-" It
shows I am succeeding in the very
thing am trying to do, and that is to
make you feel that L am talking di-

Teeth CRASHING as an Art.

I suppose that primitive man had
the teeth-gnashing faculty, as I have
known one man who had it as power
fully as it exists In the dog, peccaries
and pigs of all kinds, and other fierce
mammals.
This man was Spanish basque, a
workman, and as he was unsteady in
clined he had utilized his wonderfully
strong teeth and teeth-gnashing fac
ulty by turning his mouth into mu-
steal instrument Planting an elbow
ON the table and resting his chin on
his hand he would start the perform
ance and go through number of
marches and martial airs far in adj
vance, as music, of any performance
on the bones 1 have ever listened to;
and while the teeth were grinding,
rafting and crashing together the lips
were rapidly moving to soften, deaden
and louden the sounds.
1t was an astonishing kind of music,
but not agreeable to me on account of
an apprehension I felt that at any loud
crash or finale the teeth would fly into
pieces all over the room, like two large
china vases brought violently into col
lision.-W. H. Hudson In the Century
Magazine.

THRUST into the cage TO see now the
king of beasts would behave, that he
will not permit the dog to be removed.
The lion shares his food with the dog,
which during a street parade ap-
peared to be entirely at home in the
lions cage.
Another example of much the same
character has developed at the Havre
de Grace race course where a young
female police dog has made the ac-
quaintance of dog fox which comes
almost nightly from the adjacent
woods for frOlic about the barn of
the Lexington stables, to which the
dog Susie is attached. The Waterman
and others have watched the pair play
in the moonlight all spring.
Solitude is often responsible for
some of the odd attachments, but in
other cases sidelights are cast on the
workings of nature in her most versa
tile moods.

New Use for Silk Waste.

A new use for artificial silk waste,
previously employed to some extent
for mixing with wool to impart finish,
has been found by Herr Won Wexroth,
a well known fiber and dyestuffs ex-
pert, of Fuerstenberg, Mecklenburg,
Germany. The new Wexroth process
involves the breaking up of the waste,
chemically treating it to resist water,
spinning it on the worsted system and
then weaving it into cloth. The process
is said to have brought forth a fabric
which can be washed and boiled with
soap without harm.

Gold-Bearine Whiskers.

Years ago an Illinois barber traded
his razor for pick and pan, and
full in mining, he opened a shampoo
parlor whose equipment included a
cyanide tank. The cuttings from the
hair and boards of the miners. he says,
'assayed $500 the ton in the cyanide
tank" The dollar apiece charged for
shampoos and messages provided him
with pocket money, but the suitcase
full of gold which he brought back
with him is all from the wealth-laden
clippings that went through his cya-
hide bath, and he claims that this
source has provided him with a for
tune of 100000.

I was married recently for the Sec

ginia, came to the hotel where we
were staying to spend Christmas with
us. One morning Virginia and l came
down to get our mail as a number of
the other guests came for theirs. She
spied box on the counter addressed
to Virginia Barton.
She was much excited, and ex-
claimed, "Oh, that's Christmas pres
ent for me, mother"
The mail clerk looked at it and said,
"No, that's for Barton"
Then, to the general amusement of

mother? He was our first husband"

ODD KINDS OF FRIENDSHIP
Strange Attachments Formed by High
Strung Racing Horses--Doo
and Wild FIX Pals.

Animals form strange friendships at
times. Many famous horses have had
companions without which they were
nervous, and sometimes so ugly of
temper that they could not be ap-
preached by strangers, says writer
In the New York Herald.
There was the Godolphin Arabian,
the story Of whose devotion TO black
cat has been handed down by tradi-
ton. The cat is seen along with the
horse in the pictures by Wootton, Muir
rier and Stubs. Kingston, when he
was racing at his best, had terrier
In his box, while Clifford's companion
was bantam rooster.
Goats have been favorites with
many trainers as means of getting
weaving and stall walking. Ties
formed under such conditions cannot
be rudely broken without upsetting
the highly sensitive mechanism of
these temperamental beasts, and every
big stable has it's own story of how
pets of this type had to be replaced
before any progress could be made in
training when death or other causes
brought about the removal Of the COM
panion of a delicate filly or high
strung stallion.
One of the strangest cases of ami
mails of dissimilar types becoming at
tached to each other has developed
within the last month in Maryland
where a lion belonging to small cir
