: 4 : A MAN OF WEIGHT Mr. Roosevelt rat as Tips the Scales at 220 Pounds, and the More He Exercises the Heavier He Gets. Since he was sworn in as President, two years ago, Theodore Roosevelt has gained thircy-five pounds in weight, an increase of about one and one-half pounds each month. He now weighs 220 pounds. The news comes from Oyster Bay that be is worried about his condition To him the expression ‘This too, too solid flesh" appeals. His flesh is rolid, and the systematic and violent exercls in which he takes so much pleasure does not serve to melt St Specialists aver that the result of| systematic exercise has the effect of re- ducing the weight of the person taking the exercise. With the President it has been the other way. By means of pnyst- | eal exercise he has bullt himself up all | bis: Ute, and now, when he wants to} trim himself down he finds that he can-/ fot do it. ~ Rule Works Contrarily. oRESEN TRULY | james ncoreeRy & c0. 13.75 5.50 and 7.50 per set; Upholstery Dep’t. 4th floor.
