I'd Like 10 See the
 Liver of a Fat Man

This is the expression of a medical man who said that the liver of a fat man must present a wonderful sight when that man is alive and perform ing his regular duties The liver is the largest organ in the human body. The stomach calls on the liver and so doe5 the blood. If the liver gives to the digestive apparatus improper juices then the digestion is wrong. This is what makes people fat. The liver is not right. On popular de- mand we have made the famous Mar mola Prescription into Tablets which are eaten after meals Just like food and they digest that food as it should be digested. They remove fat already accumulated at the rate of from 12 to IS ounces per day and leave no wrinkles or fiabby skin. Carry one fin your vest pocket or purse when YOU dine out and eat what you will. Fasting, diet and exercise will not re- duce fat. You only starve the body and by tearing down other organs you bring the fat with the rest of the de- struction. Marmola tablets are sor~ by all druggists and In greater quan- tfty than all the other so-called fat reducers combined There must be merit in them or their sale could not be growing larger every month. Ask any druggist or if you prefer send 75 cents to The Marmola Company, Dept. s79, Detroit. Mich., and they will send you a large case of Marmola Tablets in plain package by mail.

Several times of late, advice has been sought from this office as to whether any attempt should be made to control whooping cough by quaran- tine. The town health regulations re- quire that this disease be reported and children suffering with 1t be excluded from school. but 1t Is not one of the diseases requiring quarantine and the attempt is seldom made to keep chill Cren having it from running about the streets injecting others.
 In Connecticut whooping cough causes more deaths than either measles or scarlet fever and about one half as many as diphtheria, besides being rec ognixed ms one of the predisposing causes Of tuberculosis so that 1t Is not always as trivial disorder as 1t Is sometimes regarded The susceptibil- ity to the disease. diminishes with. ad- vancing age and beyond the age of five the mortality is very slight. therefore young children especially should be carefully guarded from exposure to in lection. It is prupagated by contact or close association with the sick and is rarely conveyed by a third person. so that to confine a child on his own premises is usually sufficient to pre- vent his spreading the disease.

AN ITCHING PALM
No Cure for IL. Other Forms of
 Itching Preferable.

There Is no cure for an itching palm the money kind. Even poslam, the new skin discovery, cannot help It. But when 1t comes to eczema. the most annoying of itching skin troubles, pos lam will stop the itching at once and cure the worst cases In a few days. So with hives. rash. scabies. split toes. piles. and scaly scalp. all of which are different forms of eczema, accompan- ied oy severe itching and caused by imperfect digestion and careless diet
 Poslam comes in two-dollar jars. but fifty cents worth will answer in cur ing any of the diseases mentioned. It can be had of any druggist Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy makes a spec ialty of 1t.

Washington.-Much interest is being

Chicago. - Recommendations which
shepe history in the economic and finan-

of the American Bankers Association
an Importance and interest greater than
has attached to any other meeting held
by the body in the thirty-fve years OF
it's existence.
Two startling and far-reaching propo-
%sitions were placed before the bankers.
One was the demand for the establish
ment of a 500, 100000 central bank to
be conducted by the government, voiced
by George NJ. Reynolds, president OF tile
association, in his annual address. The
other was a blunt warning uttered by
James J. Hill, empire builder. chairman
of the board of the Great Northern
Railroad ard leading citizen of the
Northwest, that the United States is on
the verge of permanent decline; that
the rapid and steady decrease of the
percentage of rural population %portends
disaster, and that this country, now one
of the worlds largest exporters OF
wheat, stands in danger of becoming
within ten years a wheat importing ma
ton.

PELLAGRA A PROBLEM
TYPE OF DISEASE DIFFERENT
FROM THAT IN SOUTH.
Have Been Cases in Illinois Asylum
for Eight Years-Physicians
Assign No Cause.

Washington.-Expressing a confident
belief that "pellagra" is likely to become
in this country a public health problem
of greater proportions than can at the
present time be realized, c. H. Lavinger,
assistant surgeon in the public health
and marine hospital service, has just re-
ported the results of his Investigations
of the prevalence of that disease in the
Illinois State Hospital for the Insane
to Surgeon-General Wyman.
AS soon as the strange malady was
discovered in the Illinois institution, and
finally diagnosed as pellagra, the public
health and marine hospital service was
requested to cooperate in the investiga'
tion of the outbreak there. There are
in the neighborhood of forty or fifty well
defined cases of pellagra in the institu-
ton, according to DR.. Lavinger. He
states that the type of the disease found
there differs in some respects from the
general type he is familiar with in the
South, but that the disease should vary
in different localities is said to be not
unusual.
"There is one phase of the situation
in this institution which has been COM
mon in my experience; here, as well as
elsewhere, when the disease was finally
recognized, the medical staff can recall
that the disease has been in the institu-
ton for many years, and the superin-
tendent told me that now he realizes
that he has had cases ever since the inr
stitution was opened, eight years ago."
said DR.. Lavinger.

GREATER THAN NIAGARA
Monterey Had 21.61 Inches of Rain
in Ninety-Eight Hours.

CITY of Mexico.-James d.. Schuyler,
the %well-known American engineer, who
recently accompanied President Taft on
a tour of inspection of the Panama
canal, declared in an interview that the
rush of water in the recent Monterey
flood which destroyed millions of dol
lars worth of property and 1,500 lives
in that city alone, was greater in vol
ume than that pouring over the Niagara
According to figures furnished him by
competent engineers, the volume of wa
ter of the Santa Catarina river on the
night of Aug. 81 exceeded the flow of
Niagara by $4,000 cubic feet per second.
Mr.. Schuyler said: ITO give an idea
of the rainfall in Monterey, just be-
fore the food, | can tell you what the
figures are. As much as 21.61 inches of
rain fell in ninety-eight hours from Aug.
&c to Aug. 30. A few days before that
time IA inches fell in forty-two hours,
making a total of 34.16 inches in 14o
hours. The mean rainfall there for Au-
gust in any year in twenty-one years
has not exceeded az inches"

Denied That italian Royalty Ii
Directing to the Match.

Paris.-A high parsonage, in touch
with previous preliminary arrangements
regarding the marriage OF the Duke OF
the Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins,
says the real hitch was not due to OBJ
jections on the part of the Italian royal
family, but to the attitude of Miss
Elkins herself.
IF Miss Elkins would accept the
duke" said this authority, there would
be no obstacle placed in the way OF
the marriage by his family. l know
that the king and the royal family
have offered to grant their consent, not
to a morganatic union, but to a marriage
which would include the privileges and
rank for Miss Elkins to which the duke
is entitled. The dukes fate rests with
Miss Elkins herself. If she should say
the word, the duke would be at her side
tomorrow, and the marriage would not
long be DELAYED"

ing that the ruling of ex-Congressman
Caulfield, now State excise commissioner
at st. Louis, that a saloon keepers wife,
daughter, mother or sister may lawfully
serve drinks to his customers, if they
receive no wages from him, is in conflict
with Missouri's statute enacted by the

the wage question does not change the
morality of the situation, aimed at by
the legislature, and that even the mem
ory of the barmaid of a more degenerate
time is entitled to live only in the fiction
of Dead Mans Gulch;" that the wom'

last testament of E. H. Hartman, make
his widow, Mrs. Averell Hartman, one
of the wealthiest women in the world.

Wall street estimates that Mrs. Harri-
man will inherit in realty and personal
property between $4,000, 900 and $780,

is supposed to have been greater than
this by many millions, but there is rea-

tiers, Mary and Carol; his married laugh
ter, Mrs. Robert Livingstone Gerry and
his two sons, William Averell and Ro-
land, a boy of IA, together with his sur
viving sister, Mrs. Simmons, and other
relatives have all been substantially pro-
yided for
