MORE FAT WOMEN THAU FLESHY MEN East Seems to Be Filling with Plump MatronsRun on Large Suits.

, NEW YORK, Sept. 12. Why are there bo many fat women?" A man rushing upon his doom asked this question, lie spoke of the increasing prevalence of large feminine persons, not with admiration, but with profound dismay. "Why are there bo many fat women?" he reiterated. "I have watched the passing throng in several cities in this state this summer, and while one fat man was passing I have counted not fewer than four fat women. This ratio hast held true whenever and wherever I have had occasion to take observations. "These women, are for the mont part, between thirty-five and fifty-five years old. They either waddel ponderously or propel themeelves forward with not the slightest perceptible freedom of motion, looking the while like statues moving on rollers. . "I also have observed them in large ' numbers at different summer resorts, both inland and on the Atwlantlc coast. They eat with exceeding gusto. Nothing on the menu escapes them. "The alarming corpulence of our middle-aged women is getting serious. They seem to be fattening for a slumberous old age. "If one looks about in New Yotk theaters and restaurants the conclusion that the New York women seen there are about twenty pounds overweight looms large and inevitable. And in those restaurants lies the explanation of the phenomena. We eat too much In New York, because the best food In the country is shipped here and the best cooks prepare it. "Also disregarding the moral aspects of the consumption of alcohol, there Is no doubt that the habitual consumption of cocktails, highballs and other appetizers tends to the production of fat. Doctors may disagree on the relative values of diet, exercise and massage in taking off flesh, but they are unanimous in this one injunction: Don't drink with your meals. Don't touch alcoholic drinks at any time.' " - Noticed by the Stores. Working women, women of leisure, time killers about our fashionable ho- . tela, ail Indicate that the typical New York beauty begins life as a slender 'maiden of eighteen or twenty, and broadens into the plump and pleasing matron of twenty-five to thirty-five. After that there is but one ungallant expression to describe her proportions, the one a married man used who said he was suffering from fatty degeneration of the sweetheart. " But while there are many persons "who will testify to their own ocular (Perception of the stoutness of 'NewYork women, there are tertain individuals who know absolutely about the ; matter. They are the buyers of readymade suits and gowns in large department stores. One of these buyers, a J woman, who draws a large salary from ;the most conservative house in New York, said: "New York women are growing enormous. Today the average customer in . jour store weighs 165 pounds. She (buys a 38 suit. "We sell many more 38 suits than jany other size and the proportions of I these suits are: Bust 38, waist 27, l!

The Food Behind the Men Behind the Gnn When the American Battleship Fleet visited the Thames last November, the London Daily Mirror sent a representative aboard the flagship with Instructions to find out the cause of the superior physical condition of the American Jack-tar over the average British Blue-Jacket. An officer of the American flagship, upon being questioned regarding the food of the American Navy, said: "They have the best food of any navy on earth, and when they ask for more like Oliver Twist they have it without question." s Then the chief commissariat steward handed the newspaper man , a sample breakfast bill of fare: It read: . - Soft boiled eggs (two) Post Toastles with milk ' Bread, butter and coffee : Post Toastles are a delicious food made of white Indian corn. Crisp and tempting, this food Is the wholesome favorite for breakfast with hundreds of thousands at home and abroad. . ' V r '"" '','' "The; Memory Lingers" Postal Cereal Co, Ltd, Battle Creek; Mich

A WARNING WORD

From the Herpicide Girl You are becoming bald. The hair is getting thin on the top of your head and unless you take my advice you win, before long, be as hairless as a croquet ball. Remember too ' that chronic baldness is incurable. It Is all due to dandruff. I can tell, because you always have dandruff flakes on your coat collar. Besides being an indication of impending baldness. It also suggests untidiness. Newbro's Herpicide will kill the germ that causes dandruff, checks further accumulation of scarf skin and stops falling hair. You are not taking any chances when you purchase Herpicide and you are tempting fate when you use anything else. Herpicide has thousands upon thousands of satisfied users who testify to its- germ destroying and hair preserving qualities. Your druggist is authorized to guarantee one dollar size bottles. The best barbers recommend and use it. Send 10c in postage to The Herpicide Co., Dept. R, Detroit, Mich., for samp'e and booklet. ' A. G. Luken & Co., Special Agents. hips 48. When a model is expensive and we buy only one we always take a 38 size. And the number of women who buy 38's is by no means representative of the number that should wear them, because one of woman's little vanities is to buy a suit a couple of sizes too small and have the fitter let it out. She can go around telling her friends she buys a 36, although the fitter may have made it over Into a 38 or even a 40. The reason why American women do not look well in the hobble skirt is because they are too large for it. French women have comparatively small hips and they can afford to have their gowns pulled in at the feet. Skirts are narrower than ever this year, and 1 am Bure I do not know how New York women are going to wear them." COURTSHIP IN MARRIAGE. Many men are prone to consider that their courting days end with marriage, but the little attentions which the wife used to delight in are still dear to her. Maybe flowers and candy are too expensive now, but a man can bring joy to her heart by making her work easier. Have her try a cake of Hewitt's clean, white. Easy Task soap. It will do half of the work which has been wearing her out; she can keep her hands soft and white,: and the house will be kept neat and clean. DELEGATES DISCUSS DEEPER WATERWAYS (National News Association) RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 12. The betterment of waterways throughout the entire country, but mainly those in the eastern part of, the United States, is the subject to be discussed by the 1,000 delegates who assembled in Richmond today for the annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways association. The purpose of the convention is to pass upon measures that may best bring about the deepening of such waterways and to promote the project for a chain of inland waterways from Boston to Beaufort, N. C, and thence to the Keys of Florida. Several of the links in the proposed intercoastal route are already completed or under construction.

The Scrap Book

A Real Grouch. There Is in Washington an old "grouch" whose son was graduated from Yale. When the young man came home at the end of bis first term he exulted In the fact that he stood next to the head of bis class. Bat the old gentleman was not satisfied. "Next to the beadr he exclaimed. "What do yon mean? I'd like to know what you think I'm sending you to college for? Next to the head! Why aren't you at the head, where you ought to bcr 4 At this the son was much crestfallen, but upon his return he went about bis work with such ambition that at the end of the term he found himself In the coveted place. When he went home that year he felt very proud. It would be great news for the old man. When the announcement was made the father contemplated his son for a few minutes in silence; then, with a shrug, he remarked: "At the head of the class, eh? Well, that's a fine commentary on Yale university." Llppincott's. B Strong. B strong! We are not here to play, to dream, to drift. We have hard work to do and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle face It "lis God's gift. Be strong! Say not the days are evU who's to blame? And fold the hands and acquiesce. Oh, shame! Stand up, speak out, and bravely. In God's name. Be strong! It matters not how deep Intrenched the wrong', How hard the battle eoes, the day how long. Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song. Unidentified. A Powerful Appeal. Two Dublin bargemen were strolling along beside the Liffey when they saw a notice that any one who rescued a drowning person from the water would receive a reward of 5. If a dead body were taken out the reward would be only 30 shillings. It seemed an easy way of making money, so after thinking the matter over for some time they arranged that one of them would fall in and the other would "rescue" blm. "And then," Mike explained, . "we'll share the 5 between us, two pound ten each." They found a fairly quiet spot, with nobody about, and Pat jumped into the water. Only when be saw his companion go down and come up gasping did it occur to Mike that neither of them could swim. So he stood rather doubtfully on the bank and watched bis friend go down and come up again for the third time. , Then a faint voice called to him: "Mike! Mike I For the love of hlven, save me, quick, or we'll only get 15 shillings apiece!" Pleasant For the King. One of the most delightfully ludicrous enactments to be found in the acts of parliament is the "fifty-second of George II., chapter 146," which enacts that the penalty imposed under it shall be given half to the king and half to the poor of the parish. After the act had been passed it was discovered that the penalty which the act provides Is transportation for fourteen years. The first intention was that the penalty should be a fine of 500. On second thought parliament substituted a term of penal servitude. But it forgot to omit the clause pro viding for the division of the spoils I between the king and his indigent subjects. Superfluous. For sixteen vears Mike Flvnn had cleaned out the town hall after shows. lectures, political meetings, Memorial day exercises and other doings and never a complaint did he make. Recently, however, he fancied he had a kick coming, and he went into the mayor's office to register It. "What Is it, Mike?" asked the mayor. "It's nbont the hall, yer honor. The byes stand up in the rear, they do, an' they cbew an spit durin' the intire performance. An not a wurrud would Oi say, yer honor, if they would spit out on the fiure where Oi could git at it, but. the varmints, they would spit all over the legs of the chairs in th back row an' on the places where the chairs do be fastened to the,flure, an' hard work it is fer a man of me age to stoop down an scrub it off. There's a favor Oi would ask of yer honor this mornin" In respict to it." "What is that, Mike?" "Indade, Oi would ask yer honor fer permission and authority to do away with the back row of seats entirely. Nobody likes to sit in the back row anyway, yer honor, an sinceless it Is to have one in the hall at all." Right In Town. According to John Lattlmer, a clerk at the Seelbach hotel, a big Chicago traveling man, while stopping in the city recently tried to call a little southern Indiana town by long distance telephone. He was informed by the girl on the switchboard that the call would cost him 25 cents. Immediately be raised a strenuous kick. "Say," he shouted, "in Chicago we can talk to hell and back for 25 cents." "Well, I know," came the calm and unruffled reply back along the wire, "but that's In the city limits.' Louisville Times.

Old Defenders Day, the anniversary of the battle of North Point, where the Marylanders made a successful resistance to the British invasion in 1814, was observed as a legal holiday in Baltimore today in accordance with custom. It was the battle of North Point that inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner," and one of the interesting features in connection with today's celebration was the unfurling of the original flag that inspired Key to write the national hymn over the ramparts of historic Fort McHenry.

The Flower Shop, 12-5t 1015 Main St. Amusements At the Murray. To say that the show at the Mur ray this week is a good one is putting it mildly as it is undoubtedly one of the best that will be seen here this season. Adair and Dahn open the show with their novelty wire act the equal of which has .not been, seen in Richmond for some time. They dance, cake walk, and lunch upon the wire. Mr. Adair gives an imitation of the fellow who has imbibed too much of the, wine at the supper. They finish the act with the barrel jumping stunt and for a more difficult and dangerous feat one would have to search for some time. Maybel Wilton a prepossessing young lady gives some very excellent character imitations. She has an excellent voice and her songs are well chosen. Her impersonation of the single lady of uncertain age brought down the house at both performance last evening. The Brinkleys, two colored people, proved to be very good entertainers. Both members of the team have good voices and they introduce some very good singing and dancing during the jftct Their comedy is good and clean cut. As a big hit it would be hard to find any act making more of a hit with the Richmond theater goers than have Boutin and Tillson. These two young men play upon instruments concealed in the most unheard of places. Last evening during the electric bell number much amusement was created by a local woman, who became frightened at the sound of the bell directly under her. The Murrayscope as usual rounds out the performance. - ARE YOU FREE FROM Headaches. Colds, Indigestion, Pains, Constipation, Sour Stomach, Dizziness?

HUGE LAND CLAIM MADE BY 2 SISTERS Enter Suit for Part of Newfoundland, Valued at $85,000,000.

NEW YORK.. Sept. 12 A suit involving $85,000,000 will be brought against the Newfoundland government by Mrs. Claremont Marshall, of 215 East Seventy-eighth street, in the near future, according to information given out by William La Point, an attorney of 110 West Thirty-fourth" street. He has just returned from Newfoundland with absolute evidence; he believes, of Mrs. Marshall's right to much land in the city of St. Johns. "This is not a dream of a fanatic," said Mr. La Point. "It is not a paper suit. This is a bona fide claim, and there are only two heirs concerned. I have no interest in it other than of determining whether my client has a case or not. After spending three weeks in Newfoundland searching through ancient records, I am con vinced that it is worth while to go into the courts, and my belief is that Mrs. Marshall and her sister, Mrs. John Walsh, of Boston, the only heirs, will be awarded the entire $85,000,000. According to Mr. La Point, the es tate which Mrs. Marshall claims was confiscated by the government in the early part of last century. The fight to regain the property has lasted for three-quarters of a century. If the lawyer's prediction proves correct, the government of Newfoundland will lose a large portion of the water front of St. Johns, extending from Petty harbor to Riverbead and to government wharf. In the early part of the eighteenth century," said Mr. La Point, "Samuel Churchill, whom Mrs. Marshall believes to have been a relative of the first duke of Marlborough, went to Newfoundland with his son Nicholas, and his two daughters, Claremont and Elizabeth. "Churchill, upon his arrival at, New foundland, engaged in the shipping business and became the owner of a large fleet of merchant vessels. The captain of one of these vessels was one Morris Bolin, a young Irishman, romantic and captivating. Miss Clare mont met him. There was a whirl wind, clandestine courtship, and the young couple ran away and were mar ried. The bride became a Catholic, her husband's faith. "The rich, stern father was a strict Covenanter, and his daughter's religious change infuriated him. He cut her off without a shilling. Shortly af ter he died. "Nicholas, the brother of the girl. Inherited the entire estate. The young man was fond of his sisters, and made a Will in which the property was to be equally divided between Claremont and Elizabeth. At this point the trou ble leading up to the present suit be gins. Pirates Got One Will. "Nicholas intrusted one copy of the will to William Haffyard, who had married Elizabeth Churchill. The other he kept, taking it with him when he sailed for England to take charge of his father's affairs there. "Enroute to England, the vessel up on which Churchill sailed was attacked by pirates, and the whole ship's company was forced to walk the plank. The pirates presumably obtained the will. What they did with it, of course, is a matter of conjecture. No trace was ever found of it. "When Churchill's fate was learned, Haffyard showed Claremont the other copy of the will intrusted to him by his brother-in-law. He proposed that it remain in his care until Churchill's death was proved. Claremont gave her consent. , "Shortly afterward Haffyard met his Secure Health while you may!

death by drowning while sailing in a small boat, and although all possible efforts to find the will were made the important paper was never brought to light. The two girls could not produce proof that they were the rightful heirs of their brother's estate, and so the Newfoundland government took the property and sold it at auction, taking up Samuel Churchill's landmarks and substituting its own." For years, according to Mr. La Point Claremont and her sister fought to regain the property, but were unsuccessful, and now the contest is being taken up again by Mrs. Marshall, the j granddaughter of Claremond. They have made several attempts to recover the property which they believe rightfully belongs to their grandmother and at one time interested General Benj. F. Butler to such an extent that he went to Newfoundland to take up the case. He died before he had advanced far in his investigation, j "I have been able to find the records establishing the identity of Claremont Bolin and her ancestry," said Mr. La Point. "Her marriage certificate has been unearthed and data concerning Bolin. I hope to locate letters sent to Claremont by Haffyard establishing her right to her brother's estate."
