That staid old Republican organ, the
Morgantown Post takes the late legis-
lature to task in uncomplimentary
language for not passinga primary
election law. The Post declares that
the people, without respect to party,
want a primary election law but
that "they were cheated out OF these
things through the inefficiency and in
capacity of the last legislature to per-
feet anything in the nature of posi-
tive constructive legislature"

hearing want to say to my frlenos
throughout the state that there Is no
foundation whatever for the charge. II
is absolutely false, and the result OF
the anger of some folks who are not
graceful losers. / never saw either OF
the men who are mentioned as the
witnesses before the Grand Jury, but
twice in my life; once, during the ses-
sion of the Board about year ago,
when did not converse withJelther OF
them. and a second time at the meeting
of the Board last month, when 1 DID
not talk to Mr.. Stullenoerger at all,
and to MraRadcliff but few moments
in the front door of t hotel L did not
even ask him for an expression OF his
own position. Having the knowledge
of their unfriendly attitude one year
ago, 1 had no hope of their support,
nor did ever attempt, by any means
to secure it. was confident OF winning
without the support of either OF them,
and could have had no m0tiye IN try
ing to influence them. because ma
jority of Board had already assured
me that they should support.the wishes
of the teachers of the county, who had
netitioned the Board unsolicited, for
the change of readers, the only change
for which l was working.

Margaret knolIy

SLENDER Margaret Knolly, now, II
YOU please. The fascinating leading
lady Of the l3ijou, now more fascinating
than ever, astonished all her friends on
Broadway the other day by presenting
to their admiring 2 a svelt and
willowy form in place of h plump,
not to say fat, outlines with which she
raily sailed away to new triumphs and
foreign shores last January. After a
good deal Of diplomatic cross-exam-
nation from interested fat acqain-
tances the secret was cautiously
whispered to a few dear friends, with
the result that everybody knows 1t now.
1t was not exercise, nor fasting, nor
sea air, nor worry about her new ven
ture that had brought about this Won
derful willowy. change in the charming
Margaret; no, none Of these; nothing
but a simple mixture which all good
druggists are familiar with and q
supply at small cost, to-wit: One-half
ounce Marrnola, one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Cascara Aromatic, and three
and one-haIf ounces of Syrup Simplex.
.Grown folks need a teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtime" explained the
NOW slender. Margaret. 1T is simply
l%wonderful. 1t takes off the fat quickly,
as much as a pound a day, and keeps
1t OFF. You can eat what you like, too.
In that respect it is unlike anything Of
the kind I ever heard of, and besides
1t has another splendid feature-it is
entirely harmless, and will not cause
wrinkles. Il think It is about as es-
sential a toilet article for the woman
who is fat and wants to get thinner as
face powder. In order to get the best
results, however, you should buy the
Marmola in the original package and
mix it In with the other two ingredients
after you get home"
