OUR GROWING TRADE WITH
FRANCE.

Imports into the United States
from France show an increase of GO
per cent in the months of February
and March, while those from all
Europe and from all the world dur
ing that time show in each case a
gain of but about As per cent. The
total value of imports from France
in February, 1909, as shown by the
records of the bureau of statistics, of
the department of commerce and
labor, was 10 million dollars, against
81 millions In February of the pre-
ceding year; and in March, 1903,
II 1-3 millions, against G y millions
in March of the preceding year.
This large increase in the impor-
tations from France is due in part to
Increased requirements for manufac-
turers' materials, in part TO increased
purchases of luxuries by the people
OF the United States and probably in
some cases to anticipated increases in
rates of duty on certain classes Of
articles coming from that country
especially luxuries.
OF the imports into the United
States from France. very large share
is composed Of articles usually classed
as Injuries. OF diamonds, for in

being thus more than 10 times as

How to Reduce Fat without
Drugs, Diet or Exercise

/. After the summer Is past and there are
no more hot. stuffy days, this is the
time when fat people should be think
ing about reducing their weight and
should stop making the fat that is such q
burden to them. The best way and the
easiest Is the one about which so much
has been said and written this past year.
This way Is the Marmola way. The IA
nous Marmola Prescription has been pre-
pared in tablet form. These little tablets
contain nothing but the elements that go
to change the things which produce fat
into good. strong blood, nerve, tissues and
bone. More than this, these tablets alb
sorb and remove the fat remaining at the
rate Of from ~ to 10 ounces per day. You
must not confuse MarmolA Tablets with
harmful patent drugs and hurtful reduc-
ing methods. These tablets go into your
stomach just like the food YOU eat. They
build up the juices of the digestive organs
and correct these juices so that they pro-
duce no more fat. They are harmless, yet
thousands of men and women all over
the land today are of drm figures and
normal size because Of these little tab
let's. This Is why every druggist every
where carries them In stock and will sell
them to you. If your druggist does not
have them, or you would rather send 20
cts, the price of a case, TO the Marmola
Company, Dept. $50. Detroit, Mich, they
will send them to You at once in a plain
package, postage paid.

IOWA RAILROADS ANSWER
Rates on Live Stock Ordered by Com
mission Said to Be Too Low.
NEW GROUPING is PROPOSED
They want state Divided Into Ten
Sections, with Rates Ranging
from 10 to 20 1-2
Cents.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Regrouping of the
state of Iowa and lower freight rates
probably will result from a rehearing Of
a complaint made by the Corn Belt Meat
Producers association against the Iowa
railroads, the hearing of testimony having
been concluded before the Interstate Com
merce commission here today.
Commissioner Charles A. Prouty heard
the concluding testimony and arguments
are to be made in Washington, ID. c.,
the first two weeks in December. Pro
ceedings were begun by the complainant
body against the railroads in 1907 and In
June, 1908, the Interstate Commerce COM
mission ordered the railroads to make 9
r%egrouping and more uniform freight rates
A petition for a rehearing was filed II
November, 1908, the association charging
that the order had been ignored.
The railroads on october q, last, "werC
given until today to comply with the or
ders OF the commission Today the rail
roads submitted a new petition for re
grouping. Directing to the rates proposed
as too low. The present plan proposes
that the state of Iowa be divided int
ten groups, with freight rates ranginl
from 10 to 2S1a cents per hundred pounds

The Midwest Life

A man owning a large business during
the financial disturbances OF 1908 con-
templated asking a large loan. The par
ties who were considering the advisable
ity Of making the loan, which was $780,
600, requested that the owner Of the
plant insure his life for 100000 in favor
Of the proposed lender. When asked
why he made such a provision, he said
to the owner of the plant:
Your brains are the chief asset in
this business. Your mind is a think fac
tory. Your output is ideas. Your mi
tative involved the business, and you
know the work in every part The build
ings were built and the machinery in
stalled with your mental raw stock in
mind. With you there the value Of the
plant Is reasonably assured. With you
gone. II Ia a conjecture. Ny people would
not consider a loan for an instant with
out the insurance on your life"
This principle applies equally we'll in
all the affairs of life. In every family
there IS someone whose rands or brains
are IN chief asset" That asset should
be protected by a policy in The Midwest
