1t is Possible to Reduce Flesh
Without Dieting or Ex-
ercise.

1t is not only possible but is being
done everywhere. Exercise, unless
carefully superintendent by a physl-
clan and expert Athletic Director,
may easily do a bit of harm to the
great overbounded feshy body.
The untutored fat man and woman
determined to get thin are only too
likely to overstrain their fat encum-
bered muscles by their awkward,
ill-advised gymnastics, and so cause
nerve and muscle troubles that may
develop into something far worse
than a little too much flesh, Same
way with dieting. Starvation is GER
tainly too effective if kept up long
and faithfully enough, but it is al
most certain to injure the nutritive
process and so weaken the patient
constitutionally, while it is abomina-
BILE torture, of course, especially to
good-natured, high-living, heshy
man or woman.
Fortunately neither dieting nor
exercising are required or desirable
if one uses the right remedy for re-
ducing fat, and strange to say, the
remedy is a simple, wholesome
home mixture, the ingredients
of which are obtainable at any drug
store for a few cents. This mixture
is as follows: J OF. Marmola, or.
Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic,
80 ozs. Syrup Simplex, and the
proper amount to take is one tea
spoonful after meals and at bedtime.
This mixture takes the fat oft rapid
ly, but naturally, so that no wrinkles
are formed and no harm is done to
the stomach, as is so frequently the
case with Patent" or secret" ad,
vertised remedies.

"My Wife's Family"

Those who may possess some skep-
ticism about the excellent reports
pertaining to Stephens and Linton's
three act musical farce comedy,
my Wife's Family" as to it being
a meritorious production in every
way, containing all the elements of
a farcical comedy, bursting with la
dicrous situations, possessing a dia-
logue that is full of wit, music that
is tasteful to the ear, scenes that are
picturesque to the eye, Jokes which
have merit to them, the entire COM
edy moving with such rapidity that
its humor tickles one from the start
to finish, haven't much room to
doubt when they read the criticism
written about this show. The fol-
lowing is what one we'll known critic
has 20 say about this attraction:
with the naked eye it can be
seen that the lively fun and the
clever speciality features of the pro-
duction are bound to make a decided
and fiattering hit with patrons of

ing purposes only is the label which
might we'll be attached to the show,
and in this line it is a success which
is unquestionable. While there is

"Ouincy Adams Sawyer. "

One of the attractions booked at
| Hollands Opera house for Saturday
Jan. 18 is Quincy Adams Sawyer"
the great New England drama in its
sixth season Of interrupted success.
Everyone who has read the book of
the same name from which the play
was taken, will want to see the dra-
matization, and those who have not
read the book will want to see the
play just the same, for everybody
loves clean, wholesome play of
New England life, and this is just
what Quincy Adams Sawyer" is.
Best of all, it has departed from
the weather. beaten tracks of the
oId-time drama. The pleasing points
are simple, sweet love story, a con-
tinuous series of humorous incidents
and an almost heretofore unknown
nasuralness and purity that pervades
the entire play.
To begin with, you start at the
country store and postoffice, where
you see Quincy Adams Sawyer"
as the city chap helping his country
friends and outdoing his country
enemies. You are made known Of
the pretty love affairs of several of
the village young folks, and your in
terest in Mason's Corner folks is
firmly established.
Next you find yourself at the
crossroads. Here takes place one
of the prettiest touches of the play,
where Ezekiel describes the surround
ings to his blind sister. The scene
drifts to Mrs. Putman's sitting
room, and you meet the ludicrous
Samantha, and grow a bit appre-
hensive over LiEdy's affairs, which
have got into a curious tangle.
Next you find yourself at a real
husking-bee at the Pettengill farm
yard. You will hold your sides in
laughter at the grotesque dancing of
Abner Stiles and Mrs. Crowley.
When you recover. you will find
that you are in the midst of a good,
old fashioned snow-storm, but you
shiver for only a minute or two, for
the Interior Of the comfortable Pet
tingill homestead is opened to your
gaze. Everybody eats supper, all
the tangled love affairs are straight.
ened out and everybody is supreme
ly happy. You are happy too, for
joys and sorrows of those quaint
people have been your own. You
go away with the singing of the
doxology lingering in your ears, and
feeling that you have tasted a piece
of genuine rural atmosphere.
