grants Expected TO Take Place This
Fall.

From Wednesdays Daily.
While the local railroad ofnciaa
have not received of1cial information
as to when the fall colonist or immi-
|gration rates will be effective II "a ru-
lmored in railroad circles that they will
commence September Is. which II the
same time % in previous years. The
railroads are making great prepare
tions for an enormous colontst travel
this fall.
1.-The general impression In railroad
circles and especially amongthe immi-
grafton agents seems TO be that trav-
81 westward this fall will eclipse all
records" said . local omcial yestere
day. ut is expected that the height
OF travel will be reached In October
and November. The rates should stay
in effect until near the beginning OF
the new year"
While there are no ~colonists coming
to speak Of now. that Is no colonist
rates are on, the travel westward Is
quite heavy. Much Of 1t Is due to the
people who are moving into the Vel.
|lowstone valley. The influx 10 great
the greatest in years az the people
coming here now are coming to stay.
Many OF them came out here last
year on low rates, purchased land or
filed on 1t and returned home. Now
they are moving their families here.
That is the reason why the sales Of
tickets here are said to have not been
SO large as last year. While the peo-
pie are coming the same as last year,
when the low rates following the open
ing Of the Huntley project were in
effect, they are settling here and not
returning for their families.
"Our advices are to be ready for a
big influx Of colonists when the fall
rates go into effect. The advertising
the local chamber Of commerce and
other people are doing for the Yellow
stone valley has started inquiry as
to this country from scores, who in.
tend coming here next fall"

SUMNER Tips FOR WOMEN

Next to the white, pale shades with
q very light shrimp pink al one Of
the leaders, are extensively used in
the eastern resorts.
This is surely the age Of the slender
woman. She predominates at all the
resorts this season. Over at Atlantic
City 1t is said all the fat women stayed
away. At any rate, they + few, as
is plain to be seen; what Is the Sc
cret?
Stout ladies of the 400 have found q
new way to quickly take on the extra
fat and hold it in check without incon-
yenience. They have thankfully Civ
en- up dieting, exercising and the mis-
cellaneous dr,gging so long in vogue
among the overfat, for q simple mix
ture that is said to give remarkable
results, owing to It's control OF the.
fat-forming operations Of the system.
The formula is: Marmola, one-half
ounce; Fluid Extract Cascara Aromat-
Is, one-half ounce; Syrup Simplex,
three and one-half ounces; dose q tea
spoonful after meals and at bedtime.
Enthusiastic users claim that this mix
ture will reduce fat at the rate Of a
pound q day. without causing wrink-
les, and has the additional merit OF
being perfectly harmless. The ingred-
tents. are Inexpensive and obtainable
at any drug store. In order to get the
best results, however. the Marmola
must be fresh. and SO care should be
taken to get It In the original unbrok.
