the earliest times Several years ago the general assembly of the Presby-
 terian church put itself on record in these words. We regard the promis- cuous round dancing by members of the church as a mournful inconsis tency, and the giving of parties for such dancing on the part of heads of families as tending to compromise their religious prof sssi0n, and the sending of children of Christian par ents to the dancing school as sad
 error in family discipline Among the General Rules of the Methodist Epis-
 copal church it's members are called
 upon to abstain from all such diver
 sions as cannot be used in the name
 of the Lord Jesus and this has all
 ways been interpreted as including
 dancing. The vow that every Episco- palian takes at confirmation, if con-
 scientiously kept, would keep all mem
 bers of that church from the ballroom and lead them to censure the modern dance Eminent bishops of that church have spoken on the subject Tn the strongest terms. Bishop Hopkins of
 Vermont said. Tn the period of youth 1ul eQuCdIlOn nave SlONH llldN udliN- ing is chargeable with waste of time, the interruption of useful study, the indulgence of personal vanity and dis play, and the premature excitement of the passions. No argument can make
 it consistent with baptism Bishop Meade of Virginia said: Social danc- ing is not among the neutral things which, within certain limits, we may
 do at pleasure among the things law
 full and expedient, but it is in itself
 wrong, improper, and of bad effect
 |" Bishop Coxe of western New York, in a Lenten pastoral said: The enor-
 mites of theatrical exhibitions and the lasciviousness of dances are so dis
 graceful to the age and so irreconcila- ble with the gospel of Christ that l feel it my duty to the souls of my flock to warn those who run with the world ito the same excess of riot in these things that they presume not to come to the holy table. Classes pre-
 paring for confirmation are informed that I will not lay hands knowingly on any ore who is not prepared to re- nounce such things. with other abom- nations of the world, the flesh and the devil The plenary council of the Ro- man Catholic church, which met in

Baltimore a few years ago, sent out the following: We consider it to be our duty to warn our people against those amusements which may easily become to them an occasion of sin, and especially against the fashionable dances. which. as at present carried on. are revolting to every feeling of delicacy and prOpriety and are fraught with the greatest danger to morals. The modern dance. in its nature, its tendencies and in its results. is dan gerous to social purity Gail Hamil ton said: The very pose of the par
 ties suggests impurity' The track of the ballroom is strewn with wrecks of character and lives. T. A Faulkner, at one time proprietor of the Los Angeles Dancing academy, has given t as his deliberate opinion that two thirds of the girls who are ruined fall through the influence of the dance. An archbishop of New York is re ported as saying that nineteen out of twenty of the fallen women who come to the confessional have ascribed their fall from virtue to the influence of the dance No Christian can afford to indulge in a pastime that links him with a great immoral institution like the modern dance.
 The card table is the instrument of gambling the world over. There are many other ways of gambling, but nowhere do they displace the card table. There is often an intimate re- lation between the card party in the home and the life of reckless gambling in the pool room and at the racetrack.

If You Are Fat and

There is no necessity Of fat people suf-
fering as they do. Most fat people are so
good-natured they do not care how they
look or how they get along during the hot
weather. As a matter of fact there is a
natural fat reducer that in the past sew
eraI years has been demonstrating that it
will reduce fat and not tear down the
body or leave big, flabby rolls of skin
and wrinkles. This method is the famous
Marmola prescription, which is now pre-
pared in tablet form to meet the demands
of fat people in the summer and to enable
them at all times to take their fat re-
Queer after each meal. One of these little
tablets taken after a meal turns that meal
into good food for the blood and stops all
fat-producing elements from going into

. army of men and women who testify to
its success, and you would tire reading
what they say of It's triumphs AIarmo1a
tablets not only stop producing fat in the
body but they reduce flesh at the rate of
