The STRUGGLE
TO KEEP THIN

Until recently professional people,
singers, etc, have had to keep an
eternaily vigilant eye on their fat It
has been customary for many to weigh
daily, the slightest indication of an
increase being their cue for a strenu
Gus course of dieting.
Nowadays a large number keep on
hand the following mixture One-half
ounce Marmola. II ounce Fluid Extract
Cascara Aromatic, 81 ounces Pepper
mint Water, and depend on that in
stead of dieting or exercise to reduce
their flesh and keep 1t stationary. A
teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime
of this pleasant mixture is sufficient,
1t is claimed, to reduce one a pound a
day without causing wrinkles. Instead
of disturbing the stomach, as many
advertised fat remedies do, this receipt
is said to improve the appetite and gen.
eral health. At any rate, it is certain
one can get results without making
any change in the diet

The fulfllment Of arrangements for
the new combine appears to depend up
on whether w. P. Snyder, head OF the
big Shenango Furnace company, the
man who controls the independent pig
iron interests Of the country, joins the
movement. Mr.. Snyder is said to be
more than agreeable to the creation of
a combination to battle for supremacy
in the steel world. but as his holdings
are so great in the iron ore territory,
his demands in the partnership agree
ment has caused the others to hesitate.
It is not felt that they can be granted
at this time.
The Independents are on the eve Of
acquiring extensive holdings in the
iron ore territory. but the trust is
working to prevent the acquisition OF

dependents obtain the proposed areas
