The Sin of Gluttony. Eminent physicians continue to send out warning against the Sin of gluttony, but with little effect on the community. The growth of dis*- eases directly attributable to over eating increases, and the death rate gives- solemn warnings that seem to be unheeded. The case is all the worse because most men who are heavy eaters take no exercise and thus double the danger. An emi nent physician has just given an ar gument against business men eat ing three’hearty meals a day with out taking any exercise. He says that a man who works in the open air can eat as much as he feels like, but that the man of sedentary hab its who partakes of nieat three times a. day is simply laying up trouble for himself and making it necessary for insurance companies to change the rates. - > “ ' I T 7 i ■■ i. ■ Another Indiana Orator. J. Frank Hanly of Lafayette, who was a candidate for United States senator against Mr. Beveridge, is a recognized orator. It is said of Mr. Hanly that several years ago he was attorney in a suit against Park Hunter of Warren county, who owns several thousand acres of good land.

A French method ot curing obesity has recently been in vogue. It is mqch simpler and more effectual than the plan of the late Prince Bismarck’s physician. It seems that officer an army thought of resigning from the ser vice, because he had grown so fat that it required two men to lift him into the saddle. The formula is this: “Never eat more than one dish at each meal, no matter what that dish may be, and a per son may consume as much as the stomach can bear, and satisfy the appetite without the least reserve. Nevertheless, nothing but the one dish should be taken; no condi- ✓ ment, or soups, or supplementary deserts should be allowd. ” This was also tried by a lady who was growing too stout' and with the most satisfactory result.

It was the initial meeting of the two, and their spinal inflexions were barely completed-when the lit tle doctor stepped back a pace and, drawing her rather slight anatomy np to the uttermost semblance of dignity that she could command, with an expression, too, of utter disapprobation upon her counte nance, eyed the big Chinaman most severely for a moment. With a look of astonishment at this attitude, to which the popular diplomat is so little accustomed, he waited in curiosity for what was coming, for Dr. Mary’s expression was portentous.
