Fat Reducing Ideas Are
Proven Natures Best

Fat is food turned into the wrong kind
of material for the body. Instead Of the
blood taking up the food we eat and CIV
ing it to the body in the form of good,
hard, sound flesh, nerve and bone, fat is
thrown into the tissues and is packed
around the organs and beneath the skin
This at last tears down all the vital forces
of the system and destroys not only man
w health and comeliness, but likewise re-
suits in death. The sure way and the best
way is to take a Marmola tablet after
each meal You may then eat what you
will, and when you will, and the stomach
and digestive organs will turn the meal
into the very kind of nourishmemnt you
most need. Fat is stopped at once and
the fat you have is removed in a way
that nature herself suggests, at the rate
of from II to IS ounces per day, and there
are no fIabby rolls of skin and deep
wrinkles left to remind you of the days
when YOU were fat. Every druggist sells
these tablets, which made after the
famous Marmola Prescription They are
harmless, but thousands prove that they
do reduce fat just as we say they do Ii
YOU can't buy them from your druggist
or YOU do prefer send rs cts, the price

MANY GAS EXPLOSIONS
Cause Great Loss in Real Estate
More Insurance Needed.

The recent accidents caused by gas
explosions and the attendant loss in
Kansas and the southwest has filled
the newspapers for the past two
weeks. Death and destruction came
fast on the trail of the cold weather.
Considerable property, damaged by
fire as result of gas explosions, has
been uninsured. The winter has but
fairly begun. Accidents are still sure
to follow and property owners are
taking the precaution to take out in
surance on buildings uninsured and
larger risks on those already COW
cred. During the past ten days the
insurance companies have been doing
lively business. The Fox-Cook
Agency has written several thousand
dollars worth of new business in the
past week, as a result of the accidents
and fires eminating from gas explo-
sions
mo insurance company will pay
for damage done by gas explosions
unless fire ensues," explained o. C.
Black, '.but seldom does an explosion
occur without fire follows.

posed for several days, a nlilder attack of
indigestion two days ago having caused
him some concern, although it was too
