AMUSE IN ENTS.
Cort Production of The Stronger Sex
Sometime Of = Disappointment.

John Corts production of The
Stronger Sex" with charming little
| Maude Fealy in the leading role. which
came to the Odeon Friday night, was
something of a disappointment. Not
that the stars work was not of the
highest order, but that the vehicle
chosen for Miss Fealy was unsatis-
factory. would be the basis of adverse
criticism.
Possibly the English drama is too
English, or not sufficiently American
to be popular. but at any rate the plot
of The Stronger Sex" is not strong,
and comes very near bordering on the
melodramatic. Miss Fealy has good
company, and her support in all re-
spects is strong. The star herself Gre
ated most favorable impression, and
in different selection by her mana
ger could not fail to make hit. Bran
don Hurst, Miss Fealy's leading sup
port, injected too much horse play in
to his lines. making some of the most
delicate situations almost ridiculous.
Florence Robinson, as Mrs. Van Car
lSerken. was decidedly clever.
Mr.. Cort has put out an elaborate
production of the English drama. and
no finer costuming has been seen on
the Odeon stage this season.

A Tip For Fat Women.

In a few years that excess fat of
yours will become bad habit-impos-
sible to break. Better take time by the
forelocll and reduce now in a natural
way If you would keep intact the
youthful symmetry of 20 thru the try
ing years of middle age. Go to the
druggist and ask him for u ounce Mar
mola, x ounce Fluid Extract Cascara
Aromatic, and 314 ounces Syrup Sim
pick. Take a teaspoonfu1 after meals
and at bedtime. Mix them at home if
you wish, but see that the Marmola
comes to you in a sealed package
This mixture makes firm fieshed,
well-fcrmed women out of habby,
shapeless ones. 1t animates their
stomachs to burn up the food fats in
stead of allowing them to gather at the
waist line. Without disturbing the
diet or requiring exercise to help it out
it dissolves the fat away just where
needed the most. 1t has been known to
melt away harmlessly as much as 16
ounces day without causing single
wrinkle.

A news story telling Of the unusual

Even tho it is long time before
state primaries, candidates for county
offices are becoming active 1t would
probably be just as well, and perhaps
great deal better, for candidates and
voters alike, If activities were delayed.

starts something" it is up to his OPP
ponent to "get busy" 1t is to be sim

clean fight. The state primaries, now
legalized for the first time in the his
tory of Iowa, will have good effect
along this line, and it behooYes every
candidate to study the primary law
carefully, and inform himself as to the
restrictions placed upon candidates un-

If you will ask a 'busman whether
asphalt pavement is a success in the
winter time, he will not hesitate much
in giving an emphatic no to your ques-
ton. The recent light fall of snow

sable for all heavy traffic, and unpaved
alleys were eagerly sought as thor
oughfares to and from the depots.
AS to their attitude toward the
liquor question the ministers of Mar
shalltown have openly resolved pledg-
ing their support toward a movement
to abolish the saloons, and enforce
the laws. 1t is significant, however,
on the part of the local pastors assoc
ciation that this movement is asked
to be placed in the hands of some other
than any present existing temperance
The ministers of Mar
shalltown know only too we'll that the
cause of temperance is permanently
injured in more than one Iowa COM
by the fact that its self-ap-
pointed leaders are unworthy of re-
spect or following. 1t is for the pllr-
pose of avoiding "a repetition of former

FIRE DEPARTMENT
 IS TORN ASUNDER

Discord was the dominant figure at the meeting of the fire department last night and as result of the mix up the members Of the department are now considering the resignation of Fire Chief T. G. Quinn. Chief Quinn terdcrcd his resignation in such manner that it could have been accepted on the instant, but the mem bers of the department preferred to let their feelings rCpC"c in cold stor- age for d while before taking action.
 The immediate cause of the troub- lc is the fire bell; some of tho mem bers of the department believe that someone slipped ihcm the bunk in the bell tran3a"tio", and at tho meet ing last night Nhict Quinn was asked to explain .'NVhy docs the bell make SO little noi,c?"
 The chief also wanted the depart mcnt to authorize the payment of the bill, but tn" members declined on the ground that the bell is not worth paying fer. Thief Quinn was author izcd to cah.. tho firm selling the bell, and tell it that the money will not be forthcoming until a satisfactory bell is installed iu Valdez.
 Some of tue members of the depart. mcut assert that Chief Quinn ap- pcarod aggricNod that the noise-mak- ing qualities of his purchase should become the subjcc; of criticism, and that th" aa&,d for explanation was moi forthrau@1G.
