They're here. The Indians, Mexi-
cans, Germans, Frenchmen, Arabs and
several other nationalities. And all of
them are led by the old scout, Buffalo
Bill, or, as he was christened, William
Frederick Cody. The gathering known
all over the world as Buffalo Bills
Wild West numbers this year 800 per-
sons, nearly one-third larger than ever
il has been before. There are 1S7 In
dams with the show, and all of them
will be seen in the battle of Summit

the new features of the exhibition this
year.
There will be no parade.

grounds.
Among the new features this season
the one which probably has attracted
most attention is the game of football
played by the best riders from among
the Indians and the cowboys. Five
redskins are pitted against five cow
boys, and there is seen a boisterous
battle in the efforts of the riders to
push kick or shove an imme0r --s

ing that everything is done to keep up
the good name of the Wild West.
Every phase of the life of the redman
will be shown, even to the sun, moon
and ghost dances. All the braves and
squaws will be dressed in their prim-
tive garb, which means only few
feathers and much paint designed ac-
cording to the belief of the tribe.
Johnny Baker. the crack shot and
the man who is also the arenic direct

shooting at clay pigeons released from
traps. Ray Thompson, the celebrated
horse trainer. has with him five of his
best animals this season, including Joe
Bailey and Irma G.

through the goal posts at each end Of
the Enclosure. The horses seem to I'M
derstand the game as we'll as the men,
and always there is jealousy as to who
will be the winner of the most novel
and interesting contest.
Colonel Cody though white OF hair,
is strong of limb. and his eye is just
as keen in his shooting exhibition from
the back of a galloping horse as it was
when he fought the redskins On the
plains. Buffalo Bill will be seen six
times in the arena. One of the great
pictures of the show is buffalo hunt,
in which Buffalo Bill chases seven of
the finest animals in the country
around the enclosure. Despite his o3
years, Buffalo Bill presents a picture
as the man on horseback. His seat in
the saddle has been admired more this
season than ever before, and it has
been said that the fact that his hair
has become snowwhite only tends to
make him a more imposing figure than
before.
Buffalo Bill is one of the busiest
showmen in the world. Long before the
work of setting up the tents has fin
ished Colonel Cody will be seen geing
here and there on the show grounds

The Cheapest Fat Reducer
Is the Best

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 good while; in fact,
II buys an extra large case. This is
enough TO make a very desirable change
in almost anyone's weight. Taken one
after each meal and at bedtime the loss
of as much pound OF fat day has
been attained innumerable times.
This is 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 s not the only
good feature of these tablets. They are
pleasant to take; don't disturb the stom-
ach: don't require one to exercise a par
ticle or diet a moUthful, and last. but not
least do not cause wrinkles. They re-
duce one quickly but evenly-naturally
They produce in short, the Identical re-
suits of the famous Marmola Prescrip-
ton, with which they are identical in
composition. Try a case. II your drug
gist is sold out then write the makers,
the MarmOia company of Detroit. TO send
you one by mail.
