Thelr selection of him as the person who might take a great weight off thelr shoulders was suggested by accounts of his recent mobllization of a reducing squad of fifty fat men and fifty fat women in New York. These hundred heavyweights have been shrinking dally, and the letters from outside New York inquire how Dr. Copeland does it. It's simple, he says. Proper dlet, regular exercise and proper living habits are all that 18 necessary. “You cannot be happy unless your stomach 1s full,” the doctor tells the fat folks. Then he explains what foods they should eat to keep happy, climinating ‘jll those which produce fat. Some of the foods they may eat in abundance are' celery, ~buttermilk, : radishes, endive, lettuce, tomatoes, watercress, clams, whites of eggs, chicken without the skin, meat of lobster, codfish, pears, grapefruit, lemons, oranges, rl lean meat and skimmed milk. “The greatest mistake people make By the Assoclated Press. RACINE, Wis, November 17.— Those persons who Iike to have just a few barrels of eauer kraut in the house in case of sickness or to whom corned beef and cabbage is a necessity and cabbage salad a luxury owe an inestimable debt to Dr. L. R. Jones, plant pathologist of the University of Wisconsin, and to the persistence of a group of Wisconsin cabbage growers along the west ehores of Lake Mich- igan. In the face of a blight which in- variably followed continuous planting of cabbage and which practically threatened the extermination of the commercial growth of the plant, ex- periments conducted by Dr. Jones have saved the industry. The story is told by a writer in the Wisconsin Agriculturist. ‘Wins Over Yellows. It is a story of a ten years’ fight by sclentific men using the weapon of selection and elimination against a disease known as cabbage yellows and which science finally has ‘won. Today there are miles of cabbage fields in the truck section of Wis- consin and Illinois where a few years ago scarcely a trace of a crop would reward the best efforts of the farm- ers. Cabbage grows almost everywhere in the United States, but it was an unsatisfactory crop because after a few years of production land would invariably become infected with yel- lows and henceforth for all time would refuse to grow cabbage. The principle upon which Dr. Jones operated was this: A field infected with yellows would produce maybe a dozen, maybe not more than one or two heads per acre. For some reason these heads would have a natural immunity to yellows. s that the progeny of these indi- vidual heads would continue to de- velop the immunity to a larger de- gree and this has worked out in fact. In 1910, when the Wisconsin cab- bage growers were disheartened and = |about to_ abandon the industry, Dr. Jones selected a single head from a ten-acre fleld owned by W. J. Hansche of Kenosha county. Cab- bage is a biennial, and it took two years for the seed to develop, but the ultimate seeds from this single — e e e TE Our Complete Stock of | Electric Lamps for | Xmas Is In. i | See Our Stock of Fine Lamps | LIBRARY ' $14-9 Has two lights and is complete with silk cord TEE Library Lamp s l trated has beauty of line and a refinement of design which make it suitabls, for any living room.

This is par- ticularly so of breakfast. Imagine wanting to get thin on a breakfast! 1ike this: Cereal and cream, "hot; muffins with butter and honey, sau- sage and possibly some fruit covered with sugar. This entire meal is made up of starches and sugar, which adds flesh and very often as an added offense it {8 washed down with tea, coffee or cocoa saturated with sugar.” Dr. Capeland lets his squad eat frult for breakfast, except bananas. He bars sugar, prohibits white bread, and opposes the drinking, of water with meals because that makes the room and Inclination for more food.
