ARE FAT PEOPLE REALraxp

Why are fat people always complaining
asks some one who entertains the popular
though erroneous notion that health is
synonymous with fat Fat people complain
because they are diseased. Obesity is an
abnormal condition of the system, in which
the saccharlne and oleaginous elements of
the food are aasimiated to the partial
exclusion OF the muscle forming and BRAIN
producing elements ln proof OF this, it
is only necessary to assert the we'll known
fact that excessively fat people are never
strong, and seldom distinguished for men
tai power or activity. Besides, they are
the easy pray of acute and epidemic diseases,
and they are the frequent victims of govt,
heart disease, and apopIexy. Allan's
Anti-Fat is the only known remedy for
this disease. 1t contains no acid, is absol-
utely harmless, and is warrented to RENE
dy the most confirmed case of obesity. or

Those Who Grumble

About hard times are generally the ones
who keep stock over, rather than sell at
q reasonable profit. Not so With Epstein,
however, who never borrows trouble in
that way He buys more goods, in greater
variety and at less money IN one invoice
than most dealers do in an entire season,
consequently can sell at lower prices than
is possible for other dealers to offer. You
can save the price of an extra present by
purchasing of Epstein, the wide awake,
Star Block jeweler. It pays to trade at
Epstein's ''Jewelry Palace.
