MUSCLE AND NOT FAT.
WHAT THIN PEOPLE NEED 'TO ROUND OFF
TH E CORNERS.
What thin folks need is flesh or muscle, not fat.
To be symmetrical and properly proportioned every
person should have a certain amount of excess flesh,
but to lbe plump does not peceesarily mean to he
fat.
Fat Is undesirable; it clogs and retards the action
of the muscle's, Interferes with the healthy action
of the heart and lungs, and when very excessive
predisposes to fatty degeneration of vital orgarm, to
say nothing of the disconmfort resulting from too
much adlipose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that If one wishes
to b)ecome dleshy and plump the thing most needed
w'.lu he flesh-forming food; that is, albuminous
foods, like eggs, beef, oatmeal, etc.
The kInds of food whIch make flesh are the foods
we have on our tables every day; but the trooble
Is that our stomachs, from weakness or derange
ment of some kind, do not, promptly and properly
digest it.
Really, the principal reason so many people re
n'ain thin is because their stomachs do not properly
and completely digest and assimilate the flesh-form
ing b,eefateak and eggs we eat every day.
There are thonannde of such people, and they are
really dyspeptics, although they may not suffer any
particular pain or Inconvenience from their stom
acha.
If such persona, and all thin people, would take
after theIr meals some simple and natural digestive
like Stuart's DyspepeiA Tablets the food woul be
quickly dIgested and the proper degree of plump
ness very soon result, because these tablets are pre
pared exactly for that purp,ose. They digest every
varIety of flesh-forming food, whaich Is the reel rea
son why they Uo quickly build up and strengthen
thin, dyspeptic men and women.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure every form of In
dIgestIon en this common-sans plan, that they thor
oughly digest the feed promptly, giving strength to
averg nerve and organ in the body, and the weak
ened stomach a chance to rest and recover Its natu
ral vigor. Nothing further is required to eure any
stomach trouble, etxcept cancer of~h stomach.
They make thin, dysptptie people strong, plump and
well.
This excellent preparation I is aI, 50 ceminSa

FORMALLY OPENED
Twenty-Seventh Annual Convention
of White Ribbonerm.
IG AT L AYE=E OPERA HOUSE
The President Announces the Ap
pointment of Committees.
SERGEANT-AT-ARMS NAMED
In the Lafayette Square Opera House this
morning shortly before 10 o'clock the twen
ty-seventh annual convention of the Na
tional Woman's Christian Temperance
Union was formally called to order by the
president, Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens of
Maine. The white ribboners and visitors
Mrs. L. E. Weightman,
Corresponding Secretary.
filled the commodious playhouse to over
flowing, and on account of the extent of the
crowd there was some confusion in seating
the delegations.
The opera house was most elaborately
decorated with flags, bunting, banners and
patriotic devices and presented withal a
decidedly handsome appearance. Standards
appropriately lettered marked the positions
of the several state delegations in the or
chestra chairs.
The stage was set as a garden scene and
directly under the proscenium arch was sus
pended a motto design worded: "For God
and Home and Native Land." American
flags formed graceful drapings on either
side. On the stage were the national ofil
cers, including besides Mrs. Stevens the fol
lowing: Vice president-at-large, Miss Anna
A. Gordon, Illinois; corresponding secre
tary, Mrs. Susanna M. D. Fry, Illinois; re
cording secretary, Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman,
Missouri; assistant recording secretary,
Mrs. Frances E. Beauchamp, Kentucky;
treasurer, Mrs. Helen Morton Baker, Il
linois.
The Prayer Service.
Prior to the convention this morning a
prayer meeting was held in Foundry M. E.
Church, under the leadership of Mrs. M. E.
Hartsock, evangelistic superintendent of
the District of Columbia. There was also
a conference of departments at 8:30
o'clock and a meeting of the purity confer
e under the direction of Mrs. Helen L.
Bullock, national superintendent of the de
partment of purity of the W C. T. U., at
Luther Place Memorial Church. At the
latter meeting there were addresses by
Mrs. Bullock, Mrs. N. R. C. Morrow and
Mrs. Mabel L. Conklin.
Immediately following the calling of the
convention to order the crusade psalm of
the union was read responsively, and the
crusade hymn, "Give to the Winds Thy
Fears," was sung. Mrs. Cornelia B.
Forbes, president of the state union of
Connecticut, offered prayer. Mrs. Clara C.
Hoffman, the recording secretary, called
the roll.
During the call there were a number of
interruptions. Mrs. Ramsey of South Da
kota wanted to know if by some means or
other quiet could not prevail in the con
vention. She said there had always been
more or less confusion in such gatherings,
and it was time a change had been inau
gurated.
It was announced that the Ohio delega
tion was without a place on the floor. It
Mrs. Clayton E. Emig,
Assistant Recording Secretary.
was thereupon determined that the super
intendents of national departments should
be seated upon the stage, their places on
the floor to be filled by the Ohio ladies.
The roll call was renewed, but there was
more confusion, and a lady in the rear of
the house called for a postponement of
the reading and the presence of a ser
geant-at-arms en the floor. She said the
roll should await the sea,ting of the Ohio
delegation, whereupon Mrs. Stevens, the
president, remnarked as she wielded her be
ribboned gavel:
"It seems most important that Ohio
should sit down!"
Applause and laughter followed, as well
as quiet.
Mrs. Cornelia Forbes of Connecticut was
appointgl rgeant-at-arms, with power to
namne her associates.
The sergeant was Immediately called to
"the rear of the church." as the president

The Annnal Sermaon.
The annual sermon before the W. C. T. U.
was delivered yesterday afte,rnoon at the
Lafayette Square Opera House by Mrs. J.
K. Barney of Rhode Island, round-the
world missionary. Mrs. Stevens, the na
tional president, presided, and Miss Green
wood read a Scripture lesson and offered
prayer. Mrs. Barney's subject- was "The
Watchword for Our Battle."
"A great Jericho confronts us today," she
said, "The combined liquor interests frame
laws, they dictate legis.ation, they decide
the social standing of the community, they
scmetlmes even control the pewa In our
churches, and stay the arm of the execu
tive of our country; It Is the all-controlling
vice today. But against this vice stands
God. It doesn't mean easy victory to down
It. He did not say I will give you victory.
but I will give you eternal reward.
"I have seen people who were ready to
die for a cause, but today people are ready
to die for liquor. It never meant as much
to be a good Christian as It does today.
Those who bear the name of Christ let us
follow Him faithfully. While we work let
us have faith and obedience, for the place
upon which we stand -is holy. Obedience
and faith should be our watchwords. The
stand we are taking brings us culticism, it
always has, but Christ loves us the better
for it. 'The eyes of the world as never be
fore are turned toward America."

PRESIDENT'S HOME
Plan for Providing More Room at
the Eeoutive Manion.
PIATEM 1OE ON IMIfON
Criticism of Design Approved by
Former President's Wife.
VIEWS OF ARCHITECTS
It is evident that the plan for providing
more house room for the President of the
United States and also for the executive
office, which contemplates the enlargement
of the present White House, is arousing
considerable opposition. As is well known,
one of the proposed permanent memorials
of the celebration of the centennial anni
versary of the District of Columbia is an
enlargement of this structure. At the last
session an appropriation of $6,000 was made,
to be expended under the direction of Col.
T. A. Bingham, commissioner of public
buildings and grounds, for plans for the
enlargement of the Executive Mansion to
be submitted to Congress at. its present
session. Such a design has been prepared
and a plaster model is to be exhibited at
the White House on the day of the cen
tennial exercises, and Col. Bingham is to
deliver an address on the history of the
Executive Mansion.
Several weeks ago, in an article publish
ed in a weekly journal, Col. Bingham gave
a description of these plans, illustrated by
a design of the exterior of the White
House with its proposed wings and a plan
of the interior arrangement. The plans,
Col. Bingham stated, carried out the pro
ject which originated with the wife of Mr.
Harrison when the latter was President.
A criticism based upon this description by
Col. Bingham of what he had done in car
rying out the act of Congress appeared in
an issue of the American Architect and
Building News of Boston, November 3,
which is looked upon as the representative
of the views of the architectural profession
of this country. In this article a protest is
made in vigorous words in the name of
American architecture, and a call is made
upon all citizens who care for American art
to join in "protesting before it is too late
against the execution of the present scheme
for the alteration of the White House.
Grounds of Objection.
"Plans for a public building." it is as
serted, "appearing in the public prints, are
certainly subjects for legitimate criticism,
and it may be said at once that the Harri
son design, as might be expected of one
produced by a person with no proper train
ing, is artistically ridiculous. Mrs. Harrison
is said to have had the assistance of a Mr.
Owens, 'a man of artistic temperament and
large exp rience,' in laying out her scheme;
but the 'artistic temperament and large ex
perience' were either not largely availed of,
or had been acquired in other fields than
that of architectural designing on a great
scale, for the plan bristles all over with the
marks of the ignorant amateur. In general,
the scheme is to build two wings, at right
angles with the present structure, connect
ed with it by what are called 'curved corri
dors.' All architects know that to round
the corners is the most effective of all
means for spoiling an architectural group;
but, in the present case, the corridors on
each side are not merely curved, but
splayed and bent in the most extraordinary
manner.
"Each corridor is furnished with a colon
nade, corresponding, to a certain extent,
with the colonnade of the present pordco.
and the professional architect, who knows
what it is to lay out details of classical
cornices, will best appreciate the circum
stance that the entablature of each of the
Harrison colonnades comprises, in plan,
four straight lines, one circular arc, of
about 150 degrees4 and four angles, not one
of which is a right angle. It is hardly nec
essary to say that the spacing of the col
umns to support such 'an entablature is
necessarily so Irregular as to be L-e reverse
of monumental, and the plan and elevation,
as publisned, are very far from agreeing in
regard to the spacing, the draughtsman
having, apparently, solved in this simple
way the difficulty of reconciling them so as
to be presentable in his drawing. This ditti
culty, it may be remarked, is not likely
to have disappeared when the time comes
for carrying the scheme into execution and
the public should be permitted to forn its
judgment from accurate drawings, rather
than 'fudged' show pictures.
The Porches Coneemned.
"In plan, these 'curved corridors' are
made symmetrical with the palm houses of
a conservatory, an arrangement which will
suggest thoughts to the professional archi
tect. Otherwise, the arrangement of the
proposed new wings is not unlike that of
the present White House, and, although no
trained architect in these days wou:d re
peat, on such a scale, the cdose and dark
central corridors of the last century, the
people of Washington are, perhaps, too
much accustomed to them to find them ob
jectionable. it is not so, however, with
the ridiculous little porches which we find
Scattered over the Harrison plan, and
which were evidently suggested by the
newest fashion of colonial porch in the
wooden dwellings of Indianapolis. Here,
agaln, the draughtsman has come to the
rescue of the design, and has lavished on
these features in the elevation columns
which do not appear on the plan, and
which would have the practical disadvan
tage of standing in the middle of the drive
way which is shown passing under some of
them."
This subject has also been taken up by
associations of architects throughout the
ccuntry and by others interested in art,
and petitions numerously signed by repre
sentative men from all Darts of the coun
try will be presented to Congress at the
present session protesting against the adop
tion of what is termed the Bingham plan.
Antagonism From Two Sources.
According to the statement of men inter
ested in this matter the antagonism to the
proposed plan comes from two sources
first, those who are of the opinion that as the
Whi-te House is the only one of the public
buildings, except the old part of the Capi
tol now standing, which was here In 1800,
and has been the home of every President
of the United State, except the first Pres
ident, on account of its historic associations
it should be left untouched as a memorial
of the past; second, those who believe in
enlarging the White House and who think
it should be done as the result of the best
architeotural skill of the country. This
class will oppose plans which were not se
cured in a fashion that gives an oppor
tunity to call out this skill.
Then there are those who believe that a
separate dwelling should be built for the
President and his family, or an independent
structure on the White House grounds for
office purposes.
Disenssion of By-Laws.
At a meeting Saturday evening last of a
number of District blaticnal Guard officers
interested in the formation of an officers'
club, the draft of a proposed constitution
and by-laws was discussed.
Funeral of R. W. CdraweIi.
Funeral services will be held Wednes
day afternoon at 3 o'clock over the re
mains of R. W. Cornwell at the late resi
dence, 919 Massausetts. avenue north
east. The interment will be in the Con
gressional cemetery. Mr. Cornwell died at
Canyon City, Col., where he went several
months ago, hoping to benefit his health.
