STARVATION TO BECOME
LEAN IS POOR SPORT
But Many Go Hungry to Get
Rid of Adipose Tissue
Some people are too fat and some are
too lean. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Spratt
seem to have a majority in this coun
try. Happy he or she who can eat ac
cording to the dictates of appetite
without thought of the waist line. Un
fortunately, the happy seem to b« few,
especially among women. The dread
of adipose tissue in. the female sex is
becoming something awful, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. . It is taking the
place of the discarded orthodox hell of
our ancestors. With characteristic en
ergy, women are devoting time, atten
tion and money to their bodies in a way
that would have pleased the ancient
Greeks If they had been obliged to
wear costumes of the present day. For
tunately this was not the % case. Aspasia
never wore corsets, nor* a. gown that
hooked up the back— not even a Chan
tecler hat. • ; ~'i- '\u25a0'\u25a0'.
Many and marvelous are 'the methods
attempted for reducing fat, for the lean
do not seem to suffer nearly so much
In mind, body or spirit. The latest
hobby is to stop eating. It has its ad
vantages up to a certain point 'where
funeral expenses begin to figure, in the
situation. Doubtless most of us eat too
much, at least more than is necessary.
There are a lot of wise, old, scientific
men who can tell us to a fraction just
how many calories (whatever the term
may mean) we need each day and what
foods will produce them most econom
ically, every factor being considered.
From a "purely academic point of view
it looks as if it would be possible to
manufacture tablets containing the ex
act amount of nutrition, potential ener
gy, etc., so that we needn't have cooks
or dinner tables. . Unfortunately, : , no
one wants such a situation. We all like
our appetites and prefer to tickle them
on stated occasions.

HAND OF FATE IN THE
DEATH OF GEN. WARREN
Joseph Warren fell at that victorious
defeat, the battlo of Bunker hill, and of
him itis beautifully expressed:
So Warren stood on Bunker hill at eve. :
And sawamirl the battle's blare aris9
The future's glory and the land's re
prieve I •
And so he died with triumph in his
I - eyes.
God, in new perils, send us such as he,
The gentlest knight of freedom's
chivalry.
x It was the hand of fate, says the
Washington Post, j Warren died to
make way for Washington, for had he
survived he, and not the Virginian,
would hi' ccen commander in chief of
the continental army and the result
might have -been failure, for he was
not trained to arms, as Washington
was. , ' '
And that leads to speculation. Had
Hampden not been killed, would Crom
well have besn lord protector? Possibly
pot. if Mh-abeau had lived would the
world have heard of Napoleon Bona
parte? But England' needed a Crom
well, and Hampden died. Europe need
ed a Napoleon, and Mirabeau died. The
world needed a Washington, and War
ren died.
Gustavus Adolphus died young on
the field -of battle. Richelieu- brought
him out of the 'frigid north to curb the
house of Austria, which he did; but it
is pretty well established that after
conquering Germany it was- the inten
tion of "the lion of. the north" to spoli
ate the house of . Bourbon, and the
great cardinal is- supposed to have
drawn a deep breath of relief when
tidings came that, Gustavus was slain.
Indeed, there were plenty to charge
that it was an agent of Richelieu who
dealt death to the hero. *
Lord Nelson died the moment that
he saved*- England, from' the . clutah of
Napoleon, and. Claverhous© died when
.victory. ;had 'delivered \u25a0; the iebvenanters
into his. hands. L , .. •

MILLINER GIVES RIVAL'S
HATS TO MARKET WOMEN
Stratagem Changes Fashion and
Patronage of Society v
A milliner in Copenhagen for a long
time had the privilege of supplying the
hats to all : the best families in the
Danish capital. Then came a change of
fortune. Her business began to decline,
and this was coincident with a rival es
tablishment in Copenhagen ordering
largely from a Paris house of renown.
The milliner 'patronized by the no
bility ' and gentry was a. woman of
spirit, So she resolved to fight for her
position — put her back to the wall, so
to say. Her first idea was to make- hats
larger than her rivals, but hats are not
like Euclid's line. There is a limit, so
this idea was not practicable. After
serious deliberation she , hit upon a
plan which not only restored the for
tunes' of ,the" house, but changed the
fashion in Copenhagen.
The Copenhagen milliner's stratagem
was? both*, daring yand> original. She
openly purchased a~BCore of the largest
and most attractivej-hata In her rival's
showrooms arid presented one to each
of the market women, who are exposed
all day to the rays of the sun, .says the
London Globe. .These women gratefully
accepted the gifts and showed. their ap
preciation by putting them into imme
diate use. • ' . :.
When the society women were mak
ing theip purchases of fowls and fish,
seeing the venders with hats as attrac
tive as their own, they at-once con
cluded that they had become very com
mon, and translated their thoughts- into
action by presenting their large hats
to their .maids.'-- The stratagem was a
succegs, and the" society milliner had by
this time dressed her windows with
small hats. The rival firm sold off Its
stock- at a reduced price, and now Co
penhagen is the only capital in Europe
where a hat of less than two meters in
circumference is not despised.
