TRY TWO MEALS A DAY IN HOT WEATHER
A learned English physician, Sir James Crichton-Browne, comes
forward to tell you that you eat too much. But you know that al
ready. Your own stomach has told you so many a time. Yet you
have gone on heedlessly, just as though you were p-'t here to live
to eat. rather than to eat to live. I
Eating is large'y a matter of habit—almost as much of a habit as
drinking whisky, smoking a pipe or sleeping 10 hours a day. Neither
whisky nor tobacco is necessary to the well-being of any man.
Neither is 10 hours of sleep. No more are 3 meals a day, especially
In hot weather.
Is it any wonder that you fret and fume and grumble at the heat
when tbe mercury gets up into tbe nineties, when you go around
with your stomach distended and sagging with a lot of unnecessary
food? What good does it do you t 0 All yourself up on beefsteak,
potatoes, pie and pudding and to go around sweating like a cart
horse, when you could get along with one-half or one-third of the food
which you crowd into your stomach on a hot day?
Yes, what good does it do yon?
The human stomach has been compared to a furnace, which burns
np food as a locomotive burns up coal. But the careful fireman never
overloads his engine, though bis tender may be heaped up and run
ning over with coal, yet you overload your stomach simply because
there is an abundance of food on the table. The result is that you are
dull and stupid afterwards, and are compelled to slow down in your
work, just as an engine would do if it were choked with coal until
there was no draft to consume it.
You think you are generating energy when you are only inviting
dlscomTort.
Gentle reader, and still gentler purchaser, allow us to suggest a
little plan to you.
Try 2 meals a day for a while.
It cannot possihly hurt you.
You may lose a little avoirdupois at first, but you will experience
a Joy In living such as you have never dreamed of before.
Give your poor old tired stomach a rest. Send your liver on a
vacation. Instead of prodding it with calomel to make it work over
time. Eat less. Walk more. Take hot baths often, no matter If the
mercury is 100 in the shade. Curb your appetite. Don't worry. Keep
away from the thermometer. Don't read the reports of "heat in other
cities." Keep your blood cool by these means, and next fall you will
aay to yourself that the summer of 1907 was the pleasantest on
record.

I At this Juncture Robert discerned
Jh Spanish schooner coming from
the south. The pirate ship Baby

£ongstde of her Robert found her
be the Man ana. Captain Conchas,

pirates swarmed over her side. Re

th* captain and state did not stop
ft game of moots they were playing
pita, an unlaundered pack of cards.
"Surrender," cried Robert with
ffestooej Crust by his side. 1
"We have,' said the captain, "10
minutes ago."
The pirates therefore took posses
sion of the ship. There were 4 pas
sengers aboard, who strolled out on
deck and inspected the pirates with
much interest. The camera fiends
among tbe captives took snapshots
right and left, and bemoaned the
fact that they were short of films.

OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE
A WORD FROM JOSH WISE.
"Of course, feather
brained people are
easies' ickled."
A monocephalic monomaniac,
whose monogram we have forgot
ten, has written a monoglot, mono
syllabic monograph upon the mono
rail, and had it monotyped, but his
argument was so monocentric that
it was monotonous as a monologue
on monomtntalism.
Whose Verses Are These?
The shades of night were falling
fast
As through an Alpine village
passed

A Teddy bear whose contents were
Excelsior!
The Husband Prty.
The Husband Party is the latest
social diversion.
The women bring their husbands
to the party and make them com
pete for prizes awarded for good
qualities.
A committee of unmarried ladies
does the judging.
They are supposed to be unprej
udiced.
A sweepstakes prize for the
"best" husband Is usually offered.
Then, there can be prizes for the
handsomest husband, the most ami
able husband, and the most punc
tual husband.
The Judges get tbe necessary evi
dence from printed question blanks
filled out by the wives.
The questions relate to the be
havior of the husband in emergen
cies and In the ordinary affairs of
life.
This is such an excellent chance
to give a delinquent, husband a grill
ing that some day one of them is
going to get shown up at. a party in
a manner that he will not forget to
his dying day.
"I see Mabel has got one of her
stockings wet," said the girl in the
fallormade bathing suit.
"Yes, her chaperon has to watch
her like a hawk to keep her out of
the water." responded the girl in the
musical comedy bathing suit.
It Is claimed by a Texas news
paper that as many men as women
can be seen at church in that state.
Then there is evidently a shortage
of churches in that part of the
state where the most women are.

WOMAN'S CURIOUS SUIT
VERNON, vt, July s.—This
place is stirred with interest in
the suit that Miss Edith Hill has
brought against Mrs. Herbert A.
Staten, a bride of only 6 months,
and formerly the dearest of Miss
Hill's friends. The suit is for
MISS EDITH HILL
$7,000 for the alleged violation of a
contract between the 2 women
which bound both not to marry.
Miss Hill claims that her former
friend solemnly promised to always
remain single, be a sister to Miss
Hill, support her for life and share
her home with her.

The Daily
Short Story
HENRY'S PROTECTOR
It seemed a shame to take a
watch "from such a mild mannered
young chap. Business is business,
though, and the watch was a valu
able one, so I put the ticker in my
side pocket and forgot it. The
crowd waiting at the scenic railway
entrance was so great that I was
sure I had been unobserved.
In rushed a train of the little
cars; out scrambled the pleasure
seekers. Pushed forward, I Jumped
Into a front seat. Someone clamb
ered in Reside me, and my anticipa
tions of a pleasureable 3 minutes
rose when I observed my seatmate.
"Wh-why, you're not Henry,"
she softly exclaimed as the train
got under way. She was pretty.
"Yes, I am," I reassuringly re
plied.
"But you're not my Henry," she
objected. We had started down the
first incline, and she brushed the
stray wisps of brown hair from her
face with a small hand.
"But I'm perfectly willing to
serve," I urged.
Even though I make a living by
picking up trifles here and there, I
try to remain chivalrous.
My well-meant offer of protection
was completely Ignored.
"It was so like Henry," the girl
sighed, "to let. me get away from
him like this. He can't take care of
himself, to say nothing of taking
care of me. It's a wonder somebody
hasn't kidnaped him long ago."
"If I were a horrid kidnaper," I
ventured, "I should not take Henry.
I think I could And someone much
more attractive."
"You mean you'd like to steal me,
I suppose," the girl flashed back.
"Far be it from me to deny your
inference," I replied.
We were going down a long,
steep grade, and I thought my com
panion leaned toward me just per
ceptibly. As we slowed up on an
other Incline, she looked at me
through narrower lids for a mo
ment.
"Well," you can't nave me," she
announced positively. "You have a
way about you of taking what you
want, and girls like a man who
knows what he wants and gets It,
but I'm a little afraid of you. Henry
may be slow, but he's good to me,
and I'm sure he'll never be rash
enough to get into trouble."
I protested. "You yourself," I ar
gued, "enjoy the spice of adventure.
You like the novel, the unexpected,
the unconventional."
The girl looked at me doubt
fully. "Well?" she questioned.
"You are having a good time
right now," I said. "This incident
will stand big in your memory like
a spreading shade tree on a July
day."
"You will cultivate this recollec
tion as the 1 green oasis in the
midst of Henry's mild common
places," I said earnestly. "Aren't
you Just a little afraid of Henry?"
Thus had the charm of a soft
cheek and a. bright eye and a
rounded arm made me turn pros
elytor. I leaned nearer as we
swept down the steepest Incline yet.
"What you say may be true,"
the girl said softly. "Sometimes —
sometimes I think "
"Tell me," I suggested. I was
willing to aid.
"No, no, I cannot," she replied
with a little start. "Henry needs
me, and I must not leave him.
What would he do if he didn't
have me to take care of nlm?"
"But think of yourself!" I urged
warmly. The end of the course
was in sight.
"It's no use," she said with calm
finality. "Goodby now, and please
go away when the car stops."
I obeyed mechanically, as the girl
hurried to meet the youth who had
been left behind.
"Henry may get the girl," I re
flected with rising spirits, "but
there's some consolation in having
Henry's watch."
As I moved away into the
crowd I felt In my pocket for the
ticker. It was not there!
