The Cheapest Fat Reducer

The attention of all who are half choked
and generally bedeviled by an excess OF
fat which, by the way. always seems more
excessively excessive during the sultry
season than any other, is called to the
Marmola Prescription Tablets.
~Seventy-five cents secures enough OF
these remarkable fat reducers from any
druggist to last you a good while, in fact,
Il buys an extra large case. This is
enough TO make a very desirable change
in almost anyones weight. Taken one
after each meal and at bedtime the loss
OF as much as a pound OF fat a day has
been attained lnnumerable times.
This is a royal result that seems all the
more remarkable when one realizes these
tablets are cheaper by a half than any
thing else your druggist has, But the net
loss they bring about Is not the only good
feature OF these tablets. They are pleas

and concluded and which illustrates this
point, is that of the murder of Baron
Saporito, brother of the well-known
Sicilian deputy, who has been the head
of so many parliamentary commissions
to inquire into the Camorra and doubtful
doings /" the south. Deputy Saporito was
the chief cause of bringing ex-Minister
Nasi to trial and has always believed
that the latter had a moral Influence in
the murder of his brother. The latter
was murdered seven and a half years ago,
so that the accused men, now proved to
be innocent, have been seven years in
prison, turning in h time from COM
paratively young men into middle-aged
ones. There is no way of regaining or
revenging those lost precious years.
The now famous Filippo Cifariello trial
exhibited Italian justice in a new light,
while retaining the features of the old.
While three years rave passed since this
Neapolitan sculptor murdered his wife in
a fit of jealousy. he is yet unjudged for
the prime reason that while a trial was

declared.
A characteristic case shows another
phase of Italian law-that is, that even the
confessed guilt OF a prisoner does not
hurry his trial. A certain Casale MUIR
dered an elderly man OF good means in
1895 Inv Perugla, and when arrested shortly
after confessed his guilt. Notwithstanding he
has just been placed on trial. OF course.
in such a case the lawyer for the de-

trial. Their client is sure to be given

the sentence. Before the trial. however.
he is allowed certain privileges, such as
seeing his family and friends, reading,
writing. better food and lodging, so he de-
sires, naturally, TO prolong the period as
long as possible.
Casale expects TO spend the next thirty
years at least iD prison. and now that his
trial has finally come it will probably
prove n not unwelcome break in the mon
otony of his days. This same Casale has
lately passed his leisure In prison writing
a play which was reported to have been
accepted by Bleanora Duse. This was later
discovered to be mere inventions, and the
confessed murderer is now writing his
prison experiences.
Thus, the only persons who gain BY the
extraordinary dilatoriness of the Italian
law are the assured criminals, and 1t bears
hardest of all on the innocent. Public
opinion in the peninsula is perfectly unani-
nous in demanding that there should be
a thorough overhauling Of the procedure
Of the law. The law itself is of the high
est order and the Judges and responsible
authorities in their great majority are ami
mated only by an honest desire to see IL
carried out, but the jurors cannot be-
depended upon and the public Is often car
ried away. so that there is always delay
and often real miscarriage Of Justice.

MIS-. Drexel the Thing.
II was the universal opinion that Mrs.
John Drexel was the smartest woman at
AK this season. Her gowns and her hats
expressed the last word In Partisan chic
and she set the fashions as easily as other
women set their hats at the proper angle.
For all this her frocks for ordinary oc-
c~asionH were Of the simplest design-ex-
quisite things Of 'broiderv Anglaise" or OF
muslin worked by Breton p%easantry. 1t
was only when she went TO breakfast or
to dine with the king OF Greece or other
high born friends that she wore the gowns
which made the grand duchesses sit up
and take notes.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Drexel went to the
tables a good deal, but both always played
will caution and retired Immediately If
they developed a losing streak. They were
frequently unrecognized and one very good
authority tells me that Mrs. John Drexel
won 5000 francs one night-a coup which
for a few days was the talk of the place.
The Drexels are now motoring In France.
They have a magnificent touring car for
their private use. possessing every modern
luxury, including electric light and an
electric stove, which at n pinch can cook

arise.
Nihilists Spoil Pleasure.
At C~ontreXeville. where Lord and Lady
Bateman were staying for a short time
during August, the latter saw a great deal
of the Russian Grand Duchess vladimir,
who has a great weaknes for Americans.
They were constantly motoring about the
town together and were to be seen tete a
tete at places of amusement. The Vlad-
mfrs are among the Russian mobiles who
are singled out for the animosity Of the
nihilists. Lady Bateman received several
anonymous letters during her stay at Con-
trexeville advising her to give up the COM
pany of the grand duchess. This was a
most difficult thing TO do, as her imperial
highness went out Of her way to pay court
to her American friend. Eventually the
Batemans got out Of the difficulty by
leaving C~ontrexeville at the shortest no
tice. They were tactful enough, however.
not to let the Russian princess know that
her presence had anything to do with their

"The present tariff makes it i'm.

increased prices that the people of

"Tbere is only one issue this
campaign, the tariff; the democracy
stands for its reduction, the repub-
licans for its maintenance, so the
voters must recognize this and
make their choice.
"There is nothing to the talk
about the democracy not standing
for large navy; it does, for every
one recognizes that we must have
a large navy to protect the Pacific
coast.
"No, l do not think that the
American people are aligning
themselvs for or against extreme
conservatism or radicalism. What
ills we suffer from are due to the
high imposts of the tariffs, and the
trusts fattou and people suffer, AS

In this issue of The GUARDIAN we
announce the candidacy of Judge
Thomas Stamford Bunch for Pro,
bate Judge of Graham County
Judge Bunch came to Arizona in
1888 from Carroll County, Arkan.
sas, where he held the Office of
County and Probate Judge from
1880 to 1882. With his family he
settled in Apache County and
practised law. His activity as u
citizen in the affairs of the county
resulted in his nomination and
election as District Attorney OF
Apache County, which, at that
time, included Navajo County.
In 1895, Judge Bunch, with his
family, removed to Flagstaff, Coco
nlno County, and in 1898 was
elected on the Democratic ticket
as a member of the Territorial
Legislative Council, and served as
Chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee.
In 1901 Judge Bunch came to
Stafford, and has been a resident
here ever since. He has always
taken a prominent part in the af-
fairs of Stafford and Graham Coun-
ty. In his law practice, Judge
Bunch has been very successful,
and has been retained in all the i'm
portant suits in this part of the
county.
Always strong Democrat
and hard worker for Democra tic
principles, Judge Bunch will make
an ideal candidate for Probate
Judge. Being II lawyer of expert
ence he is peculiarly fitted for a
position which practically demands
a knowledge of law for successful
administration of the affairs of the
widows and orphans.

Democrats Declare
For Pioneers Home

The declaration contained in the
Democratic Territorial platform in
favor of building home in Ari-
zona for the pioneers of this Terri
tory who may be in need of care
and assistance in their declining
years, is timely. one. There is
no class of people in the United
States more deserving of gratitude
than the pioneers who were first
to arrive and strike camp on Ari-
zona soil. 1t required courage,
energy and bravery to face the
hardships and dangers encountered
in Arizona forty years ago, but the
early comers went to work with Il
will to develop the resources at
hand and subdue the hostile In
dians. With rifle in one hand and
miners pick in the other, the
early prospectors searched 10 the
mountains for mineral lodges; it
was these pioneers who made the
original discoveries at Jerome,
Clifton, Globe, Bisbee, Silver Bell
and other districts. Obligations
to these pioneers should bo accent
uated by the results of their COM
ing to the sun kissed land and the
knowledge that Arizona has al.
ready become the greatest copper
state IN the Union. 1t was the
pioneers who first dug the bitches
and took the waters from the
Hassayampa, the Salt, the Gila
and the San Pedro rivers, and, by
irrigating the desert valleys, dem.
onstrated the fertility of the soil
and the possibilities of making
Arizona a great agricultural State
in the future.
Will the present population in
Arizona hesitate in the duty of
caring for the remaining and tot
tering pioneers of this Territory?
Certainly uot.
The Democratic platform con-
demns the veto interposed to pre-.
vent the building of a home for
the pioneers of Arizona, as result
of a bill enacted by the last legis-
lature. The democrats pledge
their support to this measure, as a
mark of respect and gratitude to
the men who blazed the trail for
civilization and prosperity in
