ovERFArNEss CONDEMNED.

Fat or even fattish women readers who
want to be in the mode this year must
understand that the demand is for lines,
not curves, and govern themselves accord
ingly.
That means OFF with the fat. 1t has
become a duty. Many are trying exercise
or dieting; but it is certain they will find
these methods too slow and unreliable.
The cheapest and safest way to get in
form for the Directoire mode is by means
of Marmola Prescription Tablets. Any
druggist (or the Marmola Company.
Dept 164 Detroit, Mich.) will give you a
large-sized case of these elegant little
fat reducers, containing a good generous
supply, for seventy-five cents, and even
this quantity should be enough to make
a decided impression on your excess fat.
Many have lost as much as a pound a
day.
These Marmola Prescription Tablets
may be used with impunity and likewise
perfect confidence, for, being made strict
ly in accordance with the famous Marmo-
la Prescription, they are. of course, quite
harmless. They are rather beneficial
than otherwise. in fact, never disturbing
the stomach or causing a wrinkling of
the flesh.

down to a few. and then down to two or
three. ..
Bids offering all sorts of land. in all
sorts of sizes and at all sorts of prices
have poured in upon the prison commits

HOUSE MAY REJECT
TAFT TARIFF BOARD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-There is little
likelihood that, the house ways and means
committee will consider another PROPOSE
ton involving a tariff commission, as
suggested by President-elect Taft
Chairman Payne and other members are
known to be opposed to commission
which would have the power to make
rates, while some members claim that a
commission for the purpose of gathering
information is unnecessary, in view of the
numerous sources of information through
the various government departments.
1t is probable that the new tariff bill
viii contain no provision for commits
sion.
The main argument advanced against a
tariff commission which would have the
right to establish the rates Of duty or
even recommend changes to the house
committee. is that the business interests
of the country would be seriously impair
ed by the constant uncertainty on tarin
rates which would result.
Furthermore, it is claimed. capital would
not be invested so freely in those indus
tries which are affected by foreign trade
and competition.

GRAND JURY PROBES
TOWN LOT FRAUDS

MUSKOGEE, okla, Jan. 25.-Wtth the
sitting of the federal grand jury today to
investigate the alleged town lot frauds
Muskogee becomes the cynosure of the
eyes Of half a nation. That the govern
ment regards the matter of great import
is evidenced by the fact that the jury is
closely watched and guarded by secret
service men.
Rumor has it that there is a man for
every Juror. Additional interest is added to
the case by reason of the implication, of
the governor, Charles y. Haskell, in the
investigation.
He, i'm turn, declares the entire matter
is due to the enmity of William r. Hearst.
This ramification of the case is an echo
C. he presidential campaign of last year.

IMMIGRATION SHOWS
AN INCREASE HERE

The tide Of emigration setting toward
the new world was seriously felt in At
lanta for the first time last year, over
three hundred immigrants drifted into At
lanta during then. Most came from
Greece, many from Russia, and a number
from Italy. There were one or two Poles,
several Prussians, and a dark-skinned
Turk from the land of the sultan
The total number OF immigrants last
year was over twice the number OF the
year before. Application for citizenship
was made oy 1856 immigrants and the
year before but "A made such application.
Through their desire TO become citizens
the desirabiIity OF the newcomers can
be very accurately gagged. Practically all
who are real additions to the population
apply for citizenship. and those who fail
10 do so are but an incubus.
The records in the clerks Office at the
custom house show that the greater num-
Der of applicants were Greeks. Indeed,
Atlanta is rapidly acquiring a stanch,
substantial colony Of Greeks. They own
property, take a real interest in their
adopted land. and are respectors of the
law

ORGANIC DISEASES
CURED BY SUGGESTION

CHICAGO, Jan. Z7.-Dr. Sheldon Leav-
lit is now in active charge of Rev. john
ston Myers mind healing class. In his
initial lecture the doctor cited cases Of
organic diseases he has cured in his
practice through the use of psycho-ther-
apeutics.
DIR. Leavitt maintained that there Is no
more limit to the practice of psyche
therapeutics than there is to the prac-
tice of medicine. he declared that he had
cured cases OF locomotor ataxia, intestinal
tuberculosis, and typhoid fever by the
method of healing he advocated.
1--WE have not made the claim that we
can cure a great many cases of cancer,
Bright's disease, valvular heart disease or
consumption" said DIR. Leavitt Neither
can the medical practitioners do so. We
do not say there is nothing in medicine
and but little in surgery. We believe in
medicine and surgery and mind healing.
