FAT WOMAN q
HATES SOCIETY

Fat people have to get into clothes that
are designed for people of horm5i physique,
The men wear dress suits and look like
comic pictures. The women wear low
necked dresses to their evident humilia-
ton. This is why It is often said that
a fat woman hates society. Fat is as
much the mistake of poor health as any
thing else. The things that make fat
should be making good blood, bone and
nerves. The secret is that the digestive
machinery is out of gear. The juices make
fat in too large quantities. This fat I'M
pedes circulation. cramps the heart, sup
presses the liver, crowds the lungs and
interferes with the stomach. Marmola,
Tablets are harmless. They are taken after
each meal. They help digest that meal as

They remove the fat already made at the
rate of from IL to Is ounces a day and

IN JUNIOR ". C. 7. U.
Amendment to Constitution One Of Big
Convention Features.
TURN BOYS OVER TO Y. ". c. t. U.
Proposed Amendment Has 20 no with
the AEe Linft for Members
OF the Loyal Temper
ance Legion.

one OF the most important issues 10 come
before the convention Of the National
Women's Christian Temperance union dur
ing It's session in Omaha is a proposed
amendment to its constitution involving the
Junior branches Of the union, the Loyal
Temperance Legion and the Young
Women's Christian Temperance union.
Miss Margaret wintrinEer OF Evanston,
ILL.,. general secretary Of the Loyal Tenn
perancs Legion. is among the earlier COM
ers for the convention. but declines to dis
cuss the proposed amendment until repre-
sentatives Of both factions arrive to present
their arguments. Miss wintringer has.
however, prepared a printed statement Of
facts gathered in her capacity as director
Of the young peoples work. which will
be distributed when the delegates arrive.
The proposed amendment has to do with
establishing an age limit for members
Of the Loyal Temperance Legion. which
includes both boys n girls. and now has
state organizations in fourteen states. The
new plan would graduate these juniors into
the Young Women's Christian Temperance
union, which is a training class for the
mother organisation.
The opposition to the amendment claims
the new plan would turn the boys out
when the age limit is reached, because, be-
Ing boys, they are not eligible to member
ship In the young women's organization.
Statistics presented in Miss Wintringer's
circular tend to indicate that that would
be the case, Under the present plan boys
and girls Of all ages are given systematic
training in this organization, which in
cludes many branches, and it is so arranged
as to hold them until they become younG
men and women.
Miss Wintringer expressed ~disappoint-
ment that the children's street parade
which had been planned for next Saturday
was given up. She will, however, conduct
the children's program Thursday evening
of next week. when diplomas for completed
work will be granted to about 100 young
people,

Once again the fence came down and
went up again farther to the south.
Darkness came on. and Tim and the

When the work was done Hills said

Tim brought the lunch from the
house. and Hills settled himself with
his back against pine to keep his
vigil ut the fence.
1t was nearing II o'clock when he
heard footsteps and low voices. He
arose and strobe to the fence. Two
were already starting in on it.

She moved away. followed by the
two men. who were muttering angrily.
But Hills heard nothing more of the
fence save a word from his attorney,
who Informed him the Grays had
taken the matter to court and through
his own alertness they had lost their
case. Hills grinned and was relieved
that the matter was settled.
Some weeks later he strolled down
to the mooted grove He was sitting
on a stump when lie heard strange
