William JennlngB Bryan reaches

If the leased wire is maintained
12 hours daring the day it will cost

over $6,000 for the night circuit,
should one be maintained. This does

Washington, D. ., July 80.?Hnr t!
serous inquiries received recently by |i
the United States Department of AC- a
ricultur? indicate that promoters of ti
10-called obsealtj remedies and fat- g
>a?teci?g (Aires are using an old trie* 1;
dressed In new clothes to decelyg a
fat people into spending money for tl
worthless or dangerous preparations, b
The advertisements appeal to the ?
realty of people who wish to regale
graceful figures and aleo to the busl- t
neae necessities of those who become ?
so fat that they can no longer do a
their woilt efficiently. p
In order to be able to give a defl- a
nlte reply to many people Inquiring p
about specific remedies, the drag C
specialists of the Bureau of Chemls c
tr yrecently conducted a series of 0
tests with a number of npstrums of r
this character on employes in the
department w^vo wished td lose sur- p
plus flesh without Injuring their n
health. One of the most widely ad- ?
vertlsed so-called prescriptions for I
reducing flesh was tried for a period t
of six months. The result was that t
two of the subjects under expert- d
mentation were ohllred to at on after
taking the medicine for two or three n
weeks because or its injurious effects.
The third subject gained n
I 1-2 pounds instead of losing flesh. 4
Another of tbe so-called remedies g
>f a "Great Obesity Specialist" wai e
tried. The subject scrupulously fol- 1
lowed the diet list which accom- ii
panied this remedy and faithfully d
carried out the system of exercises B
recommended. After six months' 0
treatment there was a reduction of p
18 pounds of flesh, but this the ex- ,
perimenters attribute to the fact that e;
the subject ate no bread, butter. j
starchy food, pastry, sugar or candy
while under observation. The first j,
month after discontinuing the treatment
the subject gained 10 pounds, v
and in three month* was back to the |j
original weight recorded *t the be- a
ginning of the treatment. t
The circulars, letters and other p
announcement .-qf tr<*se ?o-caJled t
obesity remedies, which are pub- t
lished broadcast, in many cases as- 0
serted that a two-cent stamp is the n
Dnly crarge. Those sending tbe two- r
:ents to the supposed philanthropist,
who wishes to help other sufferers to e
set rid of surplus flesh, commonly 8
ecelved a statement that the physi- b
;ian or "professor" discovered this a
remedy ip the wilds of some foreign n
rountry or received it from some fa- t
nous Indian medicine man on hh b
leath bed. Then after due praise of t
;he effectiveness of the remery the k
'professor" states that he is willing t
o supply this wonderful treatment t:
'or a fee of from flS t<f $25 a r
month. If the prospective patient v
loes not answer immediately he is
Mraleged. with a line of rollow-up let
ters. and Anally as a great individual
favor he Is told that he can obtain
this marvelous guaranteed flesh re- ^
Incer for the sum of $$.50. In re- t
lorn for the reduced prioe, however, c
the patient must agree to tell ?11 bin c
fat friends about this yoaderful %
mean* of sheddisg avoirdupois. 1

No,tM
r Bill Will ,
mate This Sessioo
| Wuhlnrton, July SO,?"T)m river
and harbor appropriation bill will
pam the Sonata daring the prmat
session." This statement. made In
tba moat unequivocal manner by
Senator F. M. Simmons, of North
Carolina, chairman of the powerful
finance committee and acting chairman
of the committee on commerce
whtoh prepared the waterway budget,
gives a new angle to what has been
regarded -by the friends of river and
harbor improvements as a very serious
situation for the bill. t
"The opposition to the river and
harbor bill," continued Senator Simmons.
"Is confined to a relatively
small number of Senators. The large
majority of Senators feel that It la
the utmost public Importance that
the bill should pass and they have
expressed themselves to me In no
uncertain terms?this with no reference
whatsoever to party proclivities.
"Almost ever since I estered the
Senate I have been a member of the
commerce committee and have taken
an interest in every river and hurbor
bill passed since my election to
the upper branch of Congress, and
I can say without fear and contradiction
that no bill has been more carefully
considered by the commerce
committee than the one now pending
In the Senate.
There are some items In every hill t
that may be subject to criticism from
the standooint of the character of
the government undertaking. I am
Mttsflod, however, that there are bet
geW items In the present river and ' &rbor
bill that are subject to, the
BriOclsms spoken of.
k "It is true that the total appropriation
carried in the bill Is larger
than usual, but there is a well-founded
demand In the country for a
broader policy on tker part of the government
for the Improvement of our
waterways, a men da justified by the
high consideration of a sound public
policy.
"The large part of the river and
harbor bill Is for the improvement
of our harbors both on the Atlantic
and Pacific Beaboards. and on tho
Great Lakes, including the river approaches
to these harbors. It is a
well-known fact that our harbors
have not been improved as tbev
should have been and that the opening
of the Panama Canal imposes
upon Congress the duty of greater
activity and liberality in the improvement
of these harbors.
"The bill deals more liberally wltli
the Mississippi river than other bills,
but it is felt that this wise policy is
Imperatively demanded by the country
which has been emphasised by
the devastating floods of recent
years. The bill deals more liberally
with the intercoastal system of waterways
than former bills, but this Is
a scheme that has been thoroughly
thought out, and on which sentiment
has been crystalised.
some persons nave rnnciwa pruJects
in the bill located In diBtant
sections of the country, bat these
persons have made no criticism of
projects located in their immediate
vicinity. The small projects In th?*
bill, when all the facts are known,
compare favorably in importance,
within the territory affected .with
the larger projects.
"The failure of the present river
and harbor bill would, within a few
monfbs, stop work on more than half
the projects provided for in the
measure. Harbor Improvements
would largely cease. The Mississippi
river system would be almost
abandoned and great damage would
be done to the machinery employed
upon the several works.
"I have tried lo keep in close
touch with the Senate throughout
this session and, knowing the sentiment
that prevails as to the merits
of the river and harbor bill, I feet
sonfldent the pending bill will pass at
this session of Congress!"
