If overeating is the cause of
your embonpoint, dieting is the
remedy.
Fundamentally, all excess weight
is visible evidence of stored cal
cries. However, not all overweightS
are large eaters. There are people
whose fuel requirements are so
low that they are unable to eat
normal amounts of food without
calorie storage. AS a rule, the
short, stocky people belong in this
class.
Dieting in the popular sense Of
the word is not the solution for
those who gain weight on very
little food. The only satisfactory
plan is to reeducate your tastes to
an appreciation Of foods low in
calories.
You can learn to like fruits,
vegetables, lean meats and simple
salads. You can even overcome a
craving for sweets! This appetite
training should be the basis Of all
diets.
On the other hand, you may
not be taking too many calories-
you may be using too few! In.
activity can be responsible for
your excess weight; and in this
case, exercise is more effective
and a better health measure than
diet. Cutting down on your fuel
intake will make you thinner in
the wrong places. Moreover, 1t
may impair health.
Exercise will not only increase
your utilization of calorieS, but
will improve your figure. The
chances are your overweight is

PROTECT YOUR CHILD AGAINST
 DIPHTHERIA AND SMALL POX
(By Armene stinger)

The need for all children to be protected against small pox and diptheria cannot be stressed too strongly. A member of children have been immunized and Yaccinated, but those parents whose children are not, are urged to have them pro- tected at this time.
 Following are interesting extracts from the April 1897 Statistical Bull etin, published by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company through the courtesy of state health officials.
 "The 1897 record for small pox is distinctly unfaYorable. In fact cur
 rent indications are that this will be one of the worst small pox years that this country has experienced for some time. There were 1,29O cases of this disease reported during March of this year by 46 states and the District of Columbia. The moT-I bidity has been heavily concentrated in the West north central and Pal cific coast states.
 The New York City department of health has started an intensive diphtheria immunization campaign which will be centered in eight health districts.
 More than 1,40O physicians have been asked to warn mothers among their patients who have children under six years of age, of the un
 usual prevalence of this disease m Mem York City this year"
 AS public health nurse, I have re- ceived word from Dr. Sonia Cheifetz. acting director for maternal and child health, stating she will be in Wrangell the second week of June to give physical examinations and protection against small pox to in-, fants and those pre- school children! who are not being enrolled in theI school this fall. This service is given free of charge, at the Wrangelll health center located in the cityl hall.
 Further notice as to the exact datei of her arrival will be published next week

 In its recommendation for enact ment of the proposed measure the House Committee on the Judiciary reports:
 Deputy marshals have important, arduous, and often dangerous du- ties to perform. They serve process Of the courts, make arrests, and handle prisoners. They are subject to duty at all hours.
 The report also quotes the follow ing provisions of a law passed by the 74th Congress with reference to the powers and duties of marshals and their deputies:
 Tt shall be the duty of the mar shal of each district to attend the district courts when sitting therein and to execute all lawful procepts is sued under authority of the United States; and he shall have power to command all necessary assistance in the execution of his duty.

A request for funds to improve the federal jail building has been placed by deputy U. s. Marshal James Nolan.
 It is Mir Nolan's duty to keep prisoners in quarters that are far from adequate. Accommodations are provided for six men and into uhls space are frequently crowded as high as eighteen. At such times the pris- oners sleep in the hallway, and In the women's quarters if they are vacant.
 The building is not old. but it gas so poorly constructed that it is dit- fieult to know where to start or stop improvements.
 The tank, or living quarters for the men, is a room Il X 16 with g. foot walls. Out of this space a foot high partition encloses a bathroom of s 51a dimensions. Three cells open off the tank. The one nearest. the window is a single while the center has bunks for two. Each of these cells measures 6La 5 feet. The end cell, into which a ray of light would find difficulty in pene- trating is 712 5 feet and containsI hunks for four. A double deck bunk is in the tank.
