BURGLARIZES THREE HOUSES
TO SECURE HIS DINNER

The homes of Professor w. F.
Dykes, principal of the Boys High
school, Judge James X Hines and
Andrew Calhoun, three well-known
citizens, residing in the neighborhood
of Eleventh street, were entered last
week by a sneak-thief, who limited
his desire for booty to cakes of but
ter and cold chicken taken from the
refrlgerators. a pair of shoes and an
umbrella, and some small change
from an electric meter says the At
lanta Constitution.
The thief could be traced in all
the homes mentioned. II is said by
the charred match ends he used in
lighting his way through the differ
ent rooms.
The electrician who came 20 repair
the meter which was in Professor
Dykes home, stated that If the thief
had thrust his hand a bit further
through the aperture made by
smashing the plate, the current
would no doubt have detained him
on the spot until he could be iden-
titled.
But the police, who were notified,
have not been able to locate this
thief, who thus, narrowly escaping
electrocution, walked calmly away in
the rain, from which he had provid-
ed means to shelter himself.

ITO THEM THAT HATH
A Short Sermon to Eat Folks.

ITO them that hath shall be given"
is sentence that applies to fat peo-
pie very neatly. 1t is common knowl-
edge that once human being begins
to fatten up, to what they have al
ready is added more than they want
until finally 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 con-
template a more or less lengthy siege
Of dieting and exercising. So it may
be said safely that every man or wo-
man in the land now undergoing the
fattening-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 eman-
cipation of the fat. Nowadays one
may reduce much or little, a pound
day If desired, or hold their fat in
check, absolutely stationary, with
out doing tap of exercise, missing
single meal, doing particle of
harm or causing a solitary wrinkle.
All that's required, as hundreds tes-
tify. is the taking after meals and at
bedtime of one Marmola Prescription

cepted for a case of tablets so we'll
