Q-What do you think of
Thomas B. Reeds statement
that no gentleman weighs over
200 pounds ?"
A-Nothing to IL. Many fine
gentlemen of the present and
past have weighed more than
200.
During his active military
career George Washington
weighed 200 pounds.
Too much weight may shorten
a mans life. but it apparently
has no effect on his manners or
intelligence.

1t is well that man so ex-

emphasize the Importance OF
meat.
In spite OF the rawlings OF UNI
informed critics who aScribe all

consumption of meat, il remains
a nutritional staple and / can
not imagine a time, in this coun-

THERE are plenty Of good rea-

One Of the great jolts that the
nutritionists had was a few
years ago when DR.. Stefansson,
the Arctic explorer. announced
that the ESkimos who live on an
exclusive meat diet. had
lower incidence OF high blood
pressure and Brights disease
than those in temperate eli
mates who mixed large

meat.
The Eskimos also do not suf-

THE lug is of the cops, the

over. so he got a parole and
now lives in his big house in the
country club district, and wears
a gag.
The government took him for
a lot of money but plainly he
isn't broke and his ready-mix
concrete business and his liquor
business are still going strong
for he always did sell good
concrete and his whisky was as
nutritious as any other.
But the terms of his parole
forbid him TO 60 outside the city
limits and If he did discuss
politics with any one, back he
goes to Leavenworth.
The machine is plumb busted.
Gage won by 10000 the first
time and 10000 the second time,
but, OF course. the reform isn't
permanent. 1t never is. but
Pendergast will never come

NO EXPLANATIONS

Neither the statement .... the
spokesman explained what circum-
stances would be regarded as
grounds for remitting fines Since
the miners insisted they had no

work without a contract, the mo-
tive behind the stoppages presum-
ably was the samc for all mines.
IckeS said the government had
held that the contract remained in

ed. He pointed out that the con-
tract imposed fines on the miners
for unauthorized strikes and fines
twice as great on the operators if
they failed to assess the miners.
Ickes' spokesman said one condi-
tion for remission of the fines pre-
sumably would be assurance from
the UNIV that it would not invoke
the fine against the operator, in this
instance the government. The

taken will depend on the local ne
