Easy Fat Reduction

When buttermilk and gymnastics
were the only known cures for over
fairness many people preferred to stay
fat-dreading the remedy worse than
the disease.
Now these two grim lions on the
road to slimness have been overcome
and the loss of twenty to fifty pounds
has become very safe and pleasant
affair. You can eat and drink and be
merry and lazy and still lose ten to
sixteen ounces of useless fat daily.
Folks with double chins and stout
abdomens can lose them in a month
and yet not strain, bother or deny
themselves a single blessed thing. 1t
does not cost much, either-any drug
gist viii fix you up-and there is no
waiting; results begin when you do.
Take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime of this simple, harm
less mixture; " OF. Marmola, Y or
Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic. and
31a OF. Peppermint Water, and. you will
strip off evenly, without wrinkling, al
the useless fat that now annoys anG

sen" and king Dodo'' was presented
at the New York Casino year ago. the
critics were unanimous in their praises
not only of Miss Cummings beautiful
voice and pleasing personality, but of
the delightful and catchy music of the
opera In its criticism the New York
Tribune said: 'Marcelle" is such
charming creature that she is likely to
pluck the laurels from The Merry
Widows brow, and reign queen Of
the theatrical season of 190S-9." The
operetta is in two acts and three
scenes, all of them laid in the little
German feudal town of Berghof, near
the French frontier. The title role, we
are told, offers Miss Cunning rare op-
portunities for the display of her abil-
tiles both as an actress and as one Of
the few recognized operate singers on
the American stage. Prices so, Is cents,
81 and $3.50.

OPEN Y. M. C., A. CONCERTS.
Welsh GIee Singers Give Delightful
Musical Entertainments,

The annual entertainment course of
the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. was opened
Friday night at the Methodist church
by the Cambrian National Glee Singers,
a company of eleven Welshmen, and an
accompanist, which appeared in a de-
lightful concert before a good sized
audience, despite the rain.
Containing no less than four excel
lent soloists, the solos generally, in adj
dition to the chorus singing. were OF a
high order. \ program of fifteen num-
bers, almost half of which were solos,
was given. For melody some of the
chorus numbers We're notable especial
" the arrangement for male voices of
that pretty old Irish ballad, xii
la1ney.' the arrangement of Annie
Laurie and the arrangement of the
gospel air. In the Sweet Bye and Bye"
All three of these numbers We're espec-
tally nelodious and all of them evoked
sufficient applause TO necessitate en-
chores Another delightful number was
the musical jest, An Italian Salad"
OF the soloists of the company Rich
ard Thomas, the conductor, and tenor,
Will Lewis, base: Ira Morris. baritone,
siil4 LAY III laws. pass, We're especially
excellent singers. Mr.. Thomas sang
Good Night Beloved and responded
10 an encore. He is possessed OF re-
lnarkable sweet and pure tenor voice of
high register, over which he has full
control
Mr.. Lewis selection was one of
Handels ortorios. an exceedingly diff
cult number. calling for a remarkable
range. which Mr.. Lewis handled With
ease and wonderful purity of tone
Mr. Morris sang the "Bandeliro
Song in good voice and with much
spirit
Mr.. Davis number was Three For
Jack" which he sang with dash and
expression.
While musical all the way thru. the
criticism can be justly made that
program of more modern nu,nbe
would doubtless have pleased the audi
ence better The Old Folks at Home"
which the quartet sang, while pretty,
could We'll pe substituted Tor less
ancient, but equally tuneful number.
This song would have appeared better

is Pratt and that therefore Darling
must be Jones & Hovey. The newspa-

a man with inside information could
be but it should make no difference to
our people who gets a franchise so long
as they are satisfied with what they

and it Is reasonable or else Darling
would not have offered it. Likewise
with the old rate of 81 for gas one
year from this coming January the
books of the company would have sus-
tanned this rate The mayor knows it
for he asked the T.-R. editor to find
out for him last winter what gas rate
would stand in court and the editor
got him the figures from Jones &
Hovey's books in a roundabout way
which showed that the rate could be
sustained. Councilmen Gregory and
Devine know this to be true for they
had to be shown the evidence before
they would line up s0 the mayors or
dinance. However, 70 repeal this or
dinance and raise the gas rate $4,000
worth is the councils business. 1t is
