Hsrole Struggles of a Fat Man Who
Thought tho Scales War
Deceiving Him.
I have about come to tha conclusion
that the good Lord Intended aome of
hla creaturos to be fat and aom thin,
regardlcui of medicines and ao-called
Infallible cures, writes a western
man. For a long while I tried all tho
alleged obesity cures and none of
them did me any good. Then I deter
mined to Btarve myself and take lota
of exercise.
All my life I had boon a lover of
good eating, and counted that day
loHt on which I did not consumo for
my dinner tho better part of a sirloin
steak as thick as a darky's foot, with
nil the trimming). For breakfast I
usually destroyed n platter of cukes,
threa eggs and no end of thln-Bllced
bacon, besides fruits nud two cups of
coffee.
This lifelong system I abandoned
for an cnttro month, cutting out all
tho meat and about all tho vegetables,
a piece of toast and glatiH of milk tak
ing tho place of my morning meals
and a llttlo rlco being tho chief Item
on the meager dinner bill of fi'-o.
Lunch I omitted wholly. In addition
I walked at least six miles every day
and did all sorts of stunts In my room
with a gymnasium out lit. Prior to
going to bed I perpctratod all sorta
of muscular contortions and rolled
on the floor till my body was bruised.
At the end of thirty daya I felt fit
to run a threo-mtlu foot-raco or go In
the ring with the champion. About
thla time It occurrod to me that 1
ought to get weighed and I made a
bee line for the soales. My grocer as
sured me that they were correct to
an ounce, but they showed I had
gained 14 pounds In the period of my
abstinence. Exchange.
CHARACTER SHOWS IN BACKS
Straight and Upright Carriage Means)
You Are Determined, Bnereetlo
and Reliable.
If your back la straight and upright
you are correspondingly straight In
your conduct. You will hold your head
up, for you nre not afraid to look the
world In tho face.
Hvcn when you'ro sitting you keep
your back straight. Thoro Is an air of
real strength about you both physical
and mental. In short, you have plenty
of backbone. You nro dotormlncd, en
crgctlc and to bo relied upon.
If your back Is stooping and round
ed you nro a creature as weak as yoif
look, you nro prone to lolling aboutj
and too Inzy or too feeblo to tako a
(rout rank In tho battlo of llfo. Tho
tramp Is nn excellent example.
If you nro a criminal, your back Is
stooped or round, but tho scholarly
stoop of tho bookworm must not be(
confounded with tho foregoing. Thoro(
Is a dlfferenco which In difficult to de
scribe, but It Is readily recognized by,
tho close observer.
If you nro mean and covetous your'
back Is narrow and rounded and your
shoulders are high. Yoti nro sly
very sly. You generally have the np-'
pcaranco of drawing yourself up Into1
as small a compass as possible. You
aro always yoiirt'e'.f. so to speak,
and people, should give you tho cold
shoulder.
Are you too otrnlght backed? That It,
do you hold your head so high Unit
thero Is a preposterous fall In the

PURE FOOD LAW NOT MODERN
Centuries Ago Tradesmen Who Adul
terated Goods Were Most Severe
ly Punished.
Pure food liuvs aro not qulto so
modern an Invention as wo may be
lieve. Dr. Kelsner has made discov

wonder vhnt tests wero emploed and
what would happen to tho man whoso
oil was found to bo not pure. Prob
ably something unpleasant, for thoro
wub no Supremo court In those days.
We know what happened In tho mid
dle ages to tho enterprising tradesman
who adulterated his goods. In 1444
a Nuremberg merchant was burned
alive for mating foreign mnterlal with
his saffron and the saffron Itself was
used for fuel. Probably that artistic
touch impressed tho matter upon hla
memory.
Some Augsburg bakers who used
false weights and bad flour were
ducked In a muddy pool, and through
a faulty knowledge of the human re
spiratory system, or sheer careless
ness, they came to the surface dead,
In 1482 a wine merchant waa or
dered to drink six quarts of hla own
adulterated wine, and as he died soon
after it is evident that the adultera
tion muat have been serious. It is
true' that he had to finish the draft In
a given number of minutes, and
small number at that, but la those
days they had a pleasant way ol
weighing tha scales and loading tha
dice upon tha sida of Justice.

and to the Injury of the home spirit.

"The king." "Who becomes the head

"The president." "And who would

HUNTING DR. OREflfl
y CLARA IN1Z OIACON.
Oodfrer Oynn, artist, was aa auvi
lets. That la, he waa going to teJ
some day. In his studio la the ettr
he swung Indian cluba and lifted
weights, and down at his brother's
farm, where he passed most of hie
Sundays, he did more.
Ho rose with the lark to trams
around In the dew and breathe
through his nose. The rest of the fam
ily growled about It, and tha lark pat
him down aa an eccentric. He felled
trees to get shoulder muscles, and
aa ho wasn't particular as to whose,
trees they were, old Farmer Hobba
mado him pay five dollars each for;
them.
Ho lifted 50-pound stones over
fences, climbed troos, ran up and down,
hills, and did so many other things
that seemed curious to the farmers;
around that tho report got abroad that'
he waa a little touchod In the head.
All thla wouldn't amount to shucks,
had not an accident happened to Mr..
Oynn ono morning as ho waa Jump
ing a fence. He caught his toe on the;
tou rail as he went over and fell In
auch a way that ho broko the thumb
on hla right hand. Thla waa on a
morning when he had risen with the
lark, and long before anybody else
was astir.
A broken thumb needs more atten
tion tlinn u broken nock. There must
ho u viblt to tho doctor's and some
bandaging.
With a rag tied about the aching
thumb, Mr. Godfrey Oynn started est
down tho highway at n faat walk. Ha
had mndo two-thirds of the distance
when it young lady came out of
manor house Just ahead of him and'
took tho highway. Her Jaw waa tied
up with a cloth, and sho aoemed In
u hurry to get somowhere.
"It's dollars to cents It's a case of
toothacho," said Mr. Oynn to him
self, and tho Idea almost comforted
htm.
Mr. Oynn was right about tho tootk
acho. Miss Hopo Thornton was visit
ing a married cousin at tho manor
house. At midnight sho waB aroused
by a tooth trying to Jump out of her
mouth, and thenco to early morn sho
groaned und wept nnd vowed that f;
Bho lived a thousand years sho would
novor do any moro wudlug In brooks.
It was an hour after daybreak when.
Bho woko her cousin to ask what could
bu dono.
Tho Jaw was bandaged up and MIsb
Hopo Bturted out. Sho Bnw Mr. Gynn,
coming, nnd later on heard his foot-)
steps bohlnd hur.
Mr. Oynn didn't mean to overtake1
tho girl, as tho pain of his thumb keptl
him gritting his teeth, but somohowj
or other ho presently found hlmselr
keeping step with her and aBklng:
"Toothacho?"
"Yum."
I "Dad?" .v.,
"Awful!" "
"Going to Dr. Oregg'a?"
"Yum." j
"Then this must bo the place, for
hero Is his sign."
They both turned In at tho gate, and,
a frosty-haired woman said:
"Tho doctor ain't In." i
"Where is he?"
"Out In the fields somewhere to kill
a rabbit for breakfast."
"I'll go nnd him. This young Iadr
haa a bad case of toothache."
"She can come In and wait, but 1
won't do anything. Early as it Is, hea

"I'll try and sober him np."
Mr. Oynn nodded to the girl to
