B DEAR DOCTOR—Can yon tell me how to get fair Yours, SAMMY EDWARDS. I would advise you to subscribe for THE BASIN CITY NEWS, published at Fresno. Calif. Read that and you will laugh and grow fat. You could try wearing a good, strong leather belt. It la placed around the stomach, and every day It Is cinched up one notch. In this way a man gets thinner. Now, if this method will make a man thin, then I don't see why it can't make you fat. You get a belt and cinch It up to the laat hole, and let It out one notch every day. You can eat corn beef and cabbage and large beers, but don't eat pie. MINSTREL BILLY CLARK STEREOPTICONS.SI4 Brass body, nickel plated, French Lenses, Arc Lamp or Calcium Jet.
