For a long while I tried all the alleged obesity cures and none of them did me any good. Then I deter- mined to starve myself and take lots of exercise. P All my life I had been a lover of good eating, and counted that day lost on which I did not consume for my dinner the better part of a sirloin steak as thick as a darky’s foot, with all the trimmings. For breakfast I destroyed a platter of cakes, three eggs and no end of thin-sliced bacon, besides fruits and two cups of coffee.

PURE FOOD LAW NOT MODERN Centurles Ago Tradesmen Who Adul- terated Goods Were Most Severe- ly Punished. Pure food laws are mot quite so modern an invention as we may be lieve. Dr. Reisner has made discov: erles in Palestine that seem to in- dicate some sort of supervision of the food supplies dellvered to the palace nearly 3000 years ago. Labels have been found that were once aMxed to “a jar of pure olive ofl.” We may ‘wonder what tests were employed and what would happen to the man whose ©il was found to be not pure. Prob ably something unpleasant, for there Wwas no Supreme court in those days We know what happened in the mid- dle ages to the enterprising tradesman who adulterated his goods. In 1444 & Nuremberg merchalit was burned alive for mating foreign material with his saffron and-the saffron itself was used for fuel. Probably that artistic touch impressed the matter upon hia memory. Some Augsburg bakers who used false weights and bad flour were ducked in a muddy pool, and through & faulty knowledge of the human re apiratory system, or sheer careless ness, they came to the surface dead. In 1482 & wine merchant was or dered to drink six quarts of his own adulterated wine, and as he died soon after jt is evident that the adultera tion must have been serious. It 1§ true that he had to finish the draft in & glven number of minutes, and & small number at that, but in those Bargins in Women's Knit Underwear A spl ndid lot of Vest, Pants and union suits in the famous Merode make known everywhere for its profection of fit and finish and its fide wearing _qualities. d 84.50 sl 1 uni .S‘: 30 an silk and wool union $2.9 5 $2.75 and $3.00 white silk and wool - $1 95 ‘Women's Coatg P, $9;75 All Other Colored Mixture Ooats at 1-2 Price Blaok QCoats, Broadoloths, Kerseys, also a fow Cara- cule Coats iIn this group at 1-2 Price Tailored Suits for Women Suits to $28.00, $12.50 A special group of about 25 garments.

Men reach ; N the point—usually early in life—where business or politics absorbs their whole attention, and they have little time, strength or interest left for the broader culture and the amenities of] life, while women are prone to be too much preoccupled with these things, to the injury of the home—not, per- haps, in its smooth running, for in ‘207 Third Stroet _Bemidji, Minn.
