ITO THEM THAT HATH"
A Short Sermon to Fat Folks.


ITO them that hath shall be given"
is a sentence that applies to fat peo-
pie very neatly. 1t is common knowl-
edge that once a human being begins
to fatten up, to what they have al
ready is added more than they want
until finally a stage is reached where
reduction must be made or decided
disadvantage results,
Then comes forward the ages'old
query, "Reduce-but how?" To the
uniformed nothing suggests itself
but the (to them) twin evils-less
eating-more activity They contem-
plate a more or less lengthy siege Of
dieting and exercising. So it may be
said safely that every man or woman
in the land now undergoing the fat
tening-up process has his or her
mental eye fixed obviously on that
not far distant day when he or she
will have to don the "ashes and sack
cloth of reduction"
This is not an enlivening prospect,
and so it is with considerable salts
faction that we announce the emanci-
patton of the fat. Nowadays one may
reduce much or little, a pound day
liz desired, or hold their fat in check,
absolutely stationary without doing
a tap of exercise, missing single
meal, doing particle Of harm or
causing a solitary wrinkle. All that's
required as hundreds testify, is the
taking after meals and at bedtime Of
one Marmola Prescription Tablet,
which tablets are sold by the Mar
mola Company, Detroit, Mich, or
any good druggist at the uniform
price Of rs cents, this sum being ac-
cepted for a case of tablets so we'll
and generously filled that even one
produces desirable results.

Puts Up Barriers Against Horse
Racing, With Other States.

DENVER, March 20,-The Rocky
Mountain News says:
Whatever hopes some people may
have had that horse racing and book
making would be legalized in Colo
RADIO have been blasted by Governor
Shafroth, The governor has empha-
tically stated to several persons who
have sounded him on the subject that
no matter what bill legalizing race
track gambling is passed, it will be
vetoed,
So plain did the governor make
himself on this point that a bill in
troduced in the House will never
come out of committee. The bill in
question permits racing and betting
at any fair or association exhibiting
stock and produce,

Jim Crow Car Kick is Given Turn
Down.

Washington, June 3O.-Five bish-
ops of the African Methodist Episco-
pal church, who complained to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
that they were Disseminated against
by Southern railroads and by the
Pullman company in transportation,
dining car and sleeping car facilities,
have been informed by the commits
sion that their complaint was not
warranted.
The bishops were Wesley j. Gaines,
H. NJ. Turner, Evans Tyree, G. c.
Smith and f. W. Lampton. Their
complaint was directed against the
Seaboard Air Line, the Richmond,
Fredericksburg & Potomac, the
Southern railway, the Central of
Georgia and the Pullman company.
1t was alleged that the day coaches
furnished for negro passengers in the
Southeastern states we're not equal
to those provided for white people;
that negroes were denied sleeping car
accommodations; and that they were
refused food in the dining car solely
on account of their color.
At the hearing of the case the COM
plaint az to the day coaches was
abandoned in view of the weight OF
testimony to the contrary; and with
respect to the dining car facilities,
the allegations were modified by con-
cession. Most of the complainants
and their witnesses testified that they
actually did ride on sleeping cars.
1t is held by the commission, in its
decision, that undue discrimination
or prejudice was not shown and the
complaiat, therefore, was dismissed.

Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
Close upon the heels of the afro
cious murder by a Chinaman in New
York OF a young woman, mission
airy worker. comes the discovery of
murder in Talbot county, Maryland,
apparently no less brutal and re-
voting in character than the crime
committed by the Oriental degener-
ate in the metropolis. The victim in
the latter case was also a woman, OF
good social position, talented and
attractive. The man suspected OF
killing her is a man whose environ
ment was wholly different from that
of the Chinaman whose crime has
shocked and startled the nation.
But in respect to depravity and fe-
rOcity the Chinese murderer of Elsie
Sigel and the American who killed
Mrs. WOOdill seem to be on the same
low level
In these two crimes, it must appear
to all thoughtful men and women,
there is food for serious reflection.
Upon parents especially they should
make Il profound impression, en-
phazing the vitalimportance ofhome
infuence-Of training children from
the earliest IN the way they should go.
Girls should be taught how absolute
ly essential it is for their own happi-
ness and protection that they exercise
the utmost circumspectiOn in their
choice of companions. OF the perils
to which they are exposed when they
depart in the slightest degree from
high standards in the selections of
their friends of both sexes they should
be frankly advised. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that American girls
are allowed agreater degree of liberty
now than their grand mothers were
permitted to exercise in their genera
tions, in making acquaintances and
receiving attention from men. There
was never a time when girls needed
more the counsels of parents, their
wise and tender and vigilant care and
guidance, than now. There was
never a time when for our own good
there was a greater necessity than
now for girls to surround themselves
with the safeguards of discriminating
exciusiveness, to make no friend
ships until they are satified that these
associates are compatible with the
purest and highest standards of
wOmanhOOd.

a Brutus who pronounced sentence
on his own son in order that the
majesty OF the law might be upheld.
There was not even woman in this
case to divert the attention OF the
jurors from the main issue. There
must have been much sympathy for
the one-armed man who committed
the deed, and a strong feeling that he
had been wronged, because we are
told that an aequittal was expected.
The mastery conduct of the case by
Judge Osborne and his exceptional
plea for the mans life no doubt had
much to do with the verdict. But
all these brilliant features of the trial
do not lessen the Significance of the

Was Guilty Of Forging Cleveland s
Name.

Charlotte Observer
No one should suppose from the
jury verdict in the Brandenburg case
that acquittal implies any lack ofevi-
dence in regard to the defendant forg-
ing Mr.. Cleveland's signature to an
article published by the New York
Times and used by the Republican
national committee during the last
campaign. On this point the testi-
mony OF Mrs. Cleveland and Execu-
tor Hastings was quite conclusive.
Brandenburg stood charged solely
with the larcency of FIVE hundred
dollars consequent upon his fraud
ulent sale to the Times. Justice
Fitzgerald, presiding, explicitly told
the jurors that the forgery OF the
signature was not a matter for their
! consideration.
