Stout ladies of the 400 have found
"a new way to quickly take off the
extra fat and hold it in check with
out inconvenience. They have thank
fully given up dieting, exercising and
the miscellaneous drugging so long
in vogue among the overfat, for a
simple mixture that is said to give
remarkable results, owing to it's con-
troll of the fatforming operations of
the system. The formula is: Mar
mola, one-half ounce; Fluid Extract
Cascara Aromatic, One-half ounce;
Syrup Simplex, three and one-half
ounces; dose a teaSpOOnful after
meals and at bedtime. Enthusiastic
users claim that this mixture will re-
duce fat at the rate of a pound
day without causing wrinkles, and
has the additional merit of being
perfectly harmless. The ingredients
are inexpensive an dObtainable at
any drug store. In order to get the
best results, however, the Marmola
must be fresh, and so care should
be taken to get it in the original I'M

Electricity as a motive power. which
Mayor Busse has urged should be used
on the trains entering Chicago to do
away with smoke of locomotives, has
Just scored a new triumph in being
substituted for steam in the longest
submarine tunnel in the world. This
is the St. Clair tunnel under the river
connecting the United States and Can
ada at Port Huron, Michigan. and Sar-
MIA, Ontario. This is on the direct
line from Chicago to Eastern Canada,
on the Grand Trunk railroad, and the
first electric locomotives have already
been put into service at the tunnel on
trains running to and from this city.
The identification of the tunnel marks
a great step in the progress of the
electric science as applied to transport
tation. The mighty steam mogulS
which used to handle trains through
the tunnel have been replaced by COM
pact, powerful electric engines driven
by $50 horse power alternating current
motors. The frames of the novel loco
motives are similar to those of steam
mOguls, on the frame there being a
cab of structural steel provided with
doors at each end and each side. The
engines are built as two half uniteS,
each with three driving wheels, and
these units can be coupled up to one
when desired, with free passage
through the doors from one section
to another. Inside the cab is the cleo
trical equipment. Practically the en-
tire operations connected with the
running of the trains are carried on
by electricity. a mOtor-driven air
compressor is installed in the cab and
supplies compressed air not only for
the operation of the brakes on the en-
CINE and the train service, but also
for the working of the various de-
vices on the locomotive for which
compressed air is used, including the
operation of the trolley bow and the
land the electrically controlled switches.
the ringing of the bell, the sanding of
the track and the setting of the cir
cult reeakers. The tunnel has been in
existence about fifteen years and is
now one of the most important gate
ways of traffic between Canada and
the United States, and hereafter will
be one of the smokeless ones.
