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 thinking about
reducing their weight and should stop
making the fat that is such burden to
them The best way and the easiest way
is the one about which so much has been
said and written this past year. This
way Is the Marmola way. The famous
Marrnola Prescription has been prepared
in tablet form. These little tablets con-
tain nothing but the elements that go to
change the things which produce fat into
good. strong blood, nerves, tissues and
bone More than this these tablets abb
sorb and remove the fat remaining at the
rate of from Il to l ounces per day. You
rate of from IL to Is ounces per day You
must not confuse Marmola Tablets with
harmful patent drugs and hurtful reduc-s
ing methods. These tablets go into your
stomach just like the food you eat. They.
build up the juices of the digestive or
gans and correct these juices so that they
produce no more fat. They are harmless
yet thousands of men and women all over
this land today are of firm figures and
normal size because of these little tablets.
This is why every druggist everywhere
carries them in stock and will sell them
to you. If your druggist does not have
them. or you would rather send 70 cts,
the price of a case, to The Marmola COM
pany, Dept 1856, Detroit. Mich, they will
send them to you at once in plain pack

VENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

When will mothers and fathers
learn that the let-it-try-it cure is US
ually the safest remedy for the child
who wants to take up some business
or profession that his wiser parents
feel he Is unsuited for?
l know a girl who wanted to be
nurse. Her people felt that she was
not at all the right temperament for
that difficult profession. They argued
and persuaded and commanded until
finally she gave it up and became a
school marin, a profession for which
she was we'll fitted and in which she
had a good measure Of success.
But despite her success she still
clings firmly to the idea that she has
missed her calling. When she is
downhearted about anything she al
ways says to her father and mother:
'I shall never be as happy as I
might have been If you had let me do
what I wanted to-"
She will undoubtedly go to her
grave with the firm conviction of hav-
ing made a great mistake.
I also know another girl equally I'M
suited for the nurses profession and
equally anxious to try it.

CUBAN INSURGENTS
ARE SURROUNDED
First Fatality in Uprising is
Death Of Rebel Leader.

Havana, March 18.-The indications
are that the government is now in a
fair way TO crush promptly the incip-
lent revolution which broke out in
the province of Santa Clara Monday
night. The palace officials announced
that the father OF two of the mem bers
OF the band headed by Sergeant Cortez
OF the rural guard had visited General
Monteagudo, chief of the guard at
Camajuani, and told him that the in.
surgents implored the clemency of the
government and were anxious to sur.
render on the promise that their lives
would be spared. General Monteagudo,
accompanied by strong escort
thereupOn started for the insurgent
camp. The general expected to re-
ceive their surrender before evening.
The insurgents are now surrounded by
a Gordon of more than 1000 rurals,
drawn from the garrisons in various
parts of the island, but owing TO the
rugged character of the country 1t will
be extremely difficult for the troops
to come to close quarters with the in.
surgents. While the government still
insists that the band consists of only
eight men, 1t is alleged that the move
ment is far.reaching. 1t is declared
that Cortes is accompanied by fully
100 men, mounted and we'll armed.
More gratifying to the government
than the prospective capture of the in.
surgent band was the arrest and sub
seQuent killing of former Captain La.
yastida of the rural guard, who is be.
lieved to have been the principal in,
stigator of the uprising, Lavastida
was arrested by Major Arteaga OF the
rural guard and was charged with con.
