REMEMBER that rspid loss Of weight

are apt to 20 "a for injudieious slimming
diets, and sOmetimes they are unable to
check the rapid loss Of weight started
by this means.
Experience has shown that it's much
easier to lose weight than to gain it.
Those who sDe not excessively over

they adopt any diet Dictated by the

some organic aflnent Is present. The
only exception to this rule, according
to physicians, b when there Is some
acute mental WoTTy-and under such
circumstances IN astonishing loss Of
weight may occur without actual illness.
But gradual loss Of weight may occur
from some long-continued minor all
ment-after q septic condition in the
mouth, throat OF nose or absorption Of
toxins due to constipation. Quite often
it occurs from an unsatisfactory mode
of hfe-as for example, in the case of
the "two-job'' woman, who tries to
combine an Office job with the care of
a house, fiat, children and husband
Other cases are due to eating an in

So If you are losing weight or cannot
gain weight, and there Is nothing in
your diet, mind or mode of life to ac-
count for 1t, have yourself thoroughly
examined by your physician, special at

One Republican delegate favors for

land, and two pledged themselves to
Mayor Jacob s. Coxey OF Massillon, who
led an army of jobless men to Wash
ington 38 years ago.
White Meets Opposition.
Gov. White, favorite son for the
Democratic nomination, met greater
opposition than the President. The
Governor will be opposed in five dis
tricts by delegates giving favor to for
mer Secretary of War Newton d. Baker.
and Peter Witt of Cleveland. Wits
delegates were expected to switch to
Alfred e. Smith.
Despite the pledges to Baker, he has
repeatedly said he will not be a candi-
date.
While bidding for delegates, neither
President Hoover nor Gov White en-
tered the presidential preference pri-
mary, which holds only empty honors,
since its vote is not binding upon the
delegates. There will be four candi-
dates, however, who will vie for the
States popular choice.
Prohibition Made Issue.
Coxey and France listed for the pref
erence primary, and in addition the
names Of Olin j. Ross, Columbus attor-
ney, a Republican, and William H.

Grange, and who Is backed by the Ohio
Anti-Saloon League. He filed on the
Republican ticket to oppose Attorney
General Gilbert Bettman. Mrs Eliza

latter two did not divulge their position
on prohibition. but Bettman and the
unopposed Democratic candidate for re-
election, Senator Robert j. Buckley. are

COM MERGE BUILDING
COST Is DEFENDED
Smell Says Cubic Foot Price Shows
Structure Was Erected in
Economical Manner.

Representative Smell of New York,
Republican floor leader of the House.
issued statement yesterday afternoon
defending the cost of the new Depart
ment of Commerce Building.
The statement was inspired by a re-
cent remark of Jouett Shouse, executive
chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee, and Representative Rainey
OF Illinois that the building was erected
by President Hoover for himself" and
is as magnificent as any palace in
Europe"
The cost Of the new building, Mr..
Smell declared. was 62.5 cents per cubic
foot, which. when compared with the
cost of construction of the Chrysler,
Empire State and other large modern
buildings, indicate the building has
been most economically constructed and
is one of the most handsome additions
made to the city. despite its low cost"
The Chrysler Building, according to
Mr.. SHELLS statement. cost 80 cents per
cubic foot, and the Empire State Build
ing from 10 to 30 cents per cubic foot
The cost OF the new House Office
Building, now under construction, he
pointed out, is 10 cents per cubic foot
If the Commerce Building has cost
as much as the new House Office Build
ing" he said, 1T would have required
an additional expenditure of approx
mately $4,000 900.

FINANCIAL TUSSLE
TENDED IN NEW YORK
Legislature Adiourns After
Struggling to Balance
s3OO,OOO,OO0 Budget.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, March lathe New
York Legislature finishing the greatest
financial problem in its history, ad-
journed last night.
The session was spotlighted by its
attempt to balance $500. ZOO, 900 bud
get with a curtailed income and by its
battles with Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
velt, candidate for the Demcc ,atic presi-
Dental nomination.
When the final gavel banged last
night, it had established a fiscal bal
ance only by series of special taxes
and had left up to the voters and tax
payers the question of issuing $50, 900 900
in bonds to continue the States pro-
gram of relief for a million unemployed.
The bond issue, if approved at State
wide referendum next Fall, will bring
the total of State resources thrown into
the fight to shelter and feed the worker
out OF job to $4,000, 900, the largest
fund SO far provided by any State.
Emergency Taxes Approved.
Emergency taxes, the product of
agreement between the Democratic
0oVciuOf anu Tie ntpupllcan majority
of the Legislature, were approved by the
lawmakers to patch up a sos, ,OOO, 900
hole in the States pocketbook. The
deficit arose from falling off in State
revenue caused by depression stricken
taxpaying public.
For nine weeks Democrats and Re-
publicans fought over such questions
as continuing the Republican Legis-
lature's inquiry into the stronghold of
Tammany Hall, the New York City ad-
ministration and conducting a legisla-
tive investigation of the entire admins
tration of Gov. Roosevelt The Repub-
lican majority won in both instances.
Probe Extension Opposed.
The Democrats of the Legislature op-
posed the extension of the New York
City inquiry for another year on the
ground that it had, in the past year,
revealed nothing and was a mere fish
ing expedition" by the Republicans for
