Don'ts For Fat Folks

Mere are the don'ts for fat folks IL they
would avoid getting fatter during the lazy
months: Don't drink water. don't eat rich
foods. don't indulge in spurious liquors,
don't eat candy, don't lie in the hammock:
in short, don't take 1t easy or enjoy your
self at all. but keep moving regardless of
wilted collars and sopping shirtwaists.
Take long walks. eat starchy food drink
little and sleep seven hours or less-no
more. If you don't fancy that programme
you can adopt the Detroit Idea" If re-
ports from the Michigan city be only half
true, the Detroit Idea" is certainly
blessing to the fat. In the first place it
is inexpensive; second. it is perfectly
harmless and third, no dieting is neces-
sary-you can eat what you like. Never
theless il takes off the fat without caus-
ing wrinkles. at the rate, 1t is claimed, of
a pound q day. Here is the recipe in full:
Step over to your druggist and ask for
"A or. of Marmola- " OF. of Fluid Extract
Cascara Aromatic and 311 ozs. of Syrup
Simplex. Get the Marmola in the sealed
5k-ounce package and mix it in with the
other two at home. as 1t is necessary this
latter should be fresh to get the best re-
suits. Then take one teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtime until your fat is
gone Simple, isn't it? You can eat, drink
and sleep as you please this summer and
vet be Just as slim you like without
any chance of injury to your health or
rnsar lazy bones.

WILD WEST SHERIFF.
Jonathan Jones. Custodian OF "Jack.
sons Hole,o Visits Topeka.

Sheriff Jonathan Jones of Uinta
county. Wyoming, called upon Cover
nor Hoch Tuesday and secured
requisition papers for Walter C. Yose,
who is held in Jail at Wichita for COM
piicity on wholesale horse thefts COM
rnitted in Wyoming over year ago.
After securing his requistion, Sher-
if Jones called upon Sheriff Wilkerson
while waiting for his train. This
western officer is a good sample Of the
type of man needed in the "Jacksons
Hole district. A large man, with
clear blue eyes, and a Welchman-is
Jones. Before he had been in the
sheriff's office ten minutes some one
said. ''Send for Morris Jenkins The
popular police sergeant was called to
the court house to meet his country
man. In size, features, voice and
brogue, Jenkins and Jones would pass
for twins. They passed the time of
day in their native language, although
Jenkins is rather lame in the use of
WEIGH conversation.
Sheriff Jones is custodian of Uinta
county Wyoming, county which ex-
tends the entire width of the state,
taking in "Jackson's Hole" the his
toric hang out Of criminals, and yell
lowstone Park, the great national re-
serve. He has arrested many bad
men during his several years of office,
and complains that his county on ac-
count of the wild country therein. is
frequently invaded by criminals from
Idaho and Utah.
Horse stealing is the worse crime in
the Wyoming calendar. The anti
horse thief association of that state
keeps a standing reward Of $1,000 for
the capture of horse thieves, but he
says 1t is hard to convict man of
murder. He has been chasing and
tracing Yose. the man who was ar
rested at Wichita, for over year.
Last year he made trip to New Or
leans after horse thief. While in the
south Jones was impressed by what he
considered the unfairness of the south
ern state laws. 81 have been grabbing
criminals for 18 years" said Jones,
but I have never arrested a negro.
Down south they treat them all like
criminals, and make them ride in
separate cars"
While here Sheriff Jones got ac-
ouainted with Sheriff Wilkerson's
bloodhounds. and stated that he
thought trail hounds might be of great
assistance to him in the wilderness of
Uinta county, wyoming.

Wyandotte County Kicking on 1t
Share of Railroad Assessment.

! County Attorney Joe Taggart and
County Commissioner Huffman of Wy
andotte county were in Topeka Tuesday
to kick some more about the railroad
assessment of Wyandotte county.
Mr.. Huffman says that the county is
going to bring suit to test in the courts
the right of the state tax commission
to assess certain railroad property. in
stead of leaving the property for the
county to assess.
The Wyandotte county people have
been kicking a good deal about their
railroad assessment. for while the val
ne of railroad property was increased
~ times in that county other proper
ty was increased I'VE times. The county
officers want to figure out some way to
raise the assessment of the railroads.
