"Shimmy" Machine on Ships.

Contrasted with starving Europe"
millions of Americans are struggling
with too much fat, Glenn NJ. Farley
writes in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The shipping board was forced to put
In "shimmy' machines on its trans
atlantic liners for the accommodation
of the over-fat patrons. A substan-
tial belt connected with vibrator
gives the patient all the effect of a
violent Skinny" The belt shakes
it's victim like a plate of jelly, and bay
windows disappear like magic. One
man lost 6S pounds on the round trip
from New York to Bremen.
Americans kick about the high cost
of living, and yet buy and consume
more food than they require, to the ex-
tent that machines must be invented
to work off the surplus fat. It may
occur to some of them yet that the
most economical and efficient way
would be to buy and consume less
food, and dispense with the shimmy
machine.

cocoNUTs HIS ONLY FOOD
Austrian Exile Had Radical Views on
the Subject Of Proper Susie
nance for Mankind.

In the near neighborhood Of New
Guinea is beautiful island called
Kabaka, which was owned by an Aus
trian named Engelhardt, exiled for
some political offense, who died not
long ago.
Engelhardt was known 90 the
'apostle of the coconut." Having ac-
Quired the island by purchase many
years ago, he planted every possible
acre of 1t with coconut palms, the
fruit of which he believed to be the
only proper food for man. He SUBJ
sisted exclusively on coconuts, and his
only drink, except water, was COCO
nut milk. But, although crank on
this subject, he did not force his Ideas
upon others. He gave admirable din
ners, at which the food was varied
and the wines excellent.
Engelhardt was a man of profound
learning, and his cOcOnut plantation
yielded him a large income. People
invited to stay at his house were lux
uriously lodged; but he himself al
ways slept on bed of clean sand,
which was spread freshly every day.

CHVALRY AND GOOD SENSE
New York Legislator Would Do Away
With Embarrassing Question az
to Voters Age.
what is your age?"

"What is your ageT
In days Of old the question was per-
functorily asked and answered in
every voting booth. In the new days
Of equal suffrage 1t is still asked, but
apologetically rather than perfunctor-
fly, and 1t is sometimes answered re-
sentfully. Occasionally lady voter
especially one who has attained the
dignity Of middle age, considers the
question impertinent Yet one hates
to commit perjury Or anything that
smacks of perjury.
In New York state, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, gallant gentle
man, who should have flourished in the
days Of knighthood, has introduced in
to the legislature Of hich he is
member a bill to do away with the age
question. Ii this measure becomes a
law it will be necessary for no one
to tell her-or his-exact age. It will
be quite sufficient for tie elector to
affirm that her-or his--twenty first
birthday has been passed. =
This is chivalry, and 1t is also COM
mon sense. If one is Of legal voting
age the republic should require no
more detailed information. We all
wish the girls, young and old, to vote,
and to vote without annoyance or re-
sentiment. Going to the polls should
be made pleasure. An important
step will be taken If the New York
law Is enacted and copied.
"Are you twenty-one"
There is something positively de-
lightful in such a question. And who
would call it impertinent2
