Cut the Weeds.

In August, mosquitoes, germs,
microbes and all such things most
abound and their abiding places are
in the weeds, which are all too
plentiful around town. There is n
city ordinance in regard to weed
cutting, which is more honurcd in
the breach than in the observance.
1t is the duty of every good citizen
to see at once that all weeds inside
and outside of their property are
cut and burned. Cut the weeds nj
once.

Charm the Fat Away

To reduce by means of exercise or
dieting is nothing but torture to the
flesh and modification to the spirit.
1t is SO much simpler to charm" it
away OF course. | don't mean by
spells" or lamentations" but through
the occasional use of this home re
ceipt, viz: u ounce Marmola, u
ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic
and 3b ounces Syrup Simplex, which
any one can obtain at any drug store
for a small sum and mix at home
Take a teaspOonful after meals and
at bedtime 1t literally charms the
fat away. Takes it off just where you
need it off and does it quickly but
harmlessly. Many persons lose a.
much as a pound day.
Isn't that charming" off the fat-ea
what you please and still lose a pound
a day-without strain, injury or eff
fort?
