flower garden i'm front of his house when
his backyard is filled with unsanitary
scrap heaps is a hypocrite. The first
law for the back yard is that it be kept

Another common sin with many men
is that they rcleyatc to the back yard

fill their garden beds with flowers of

THE MONARCH OF THE CRADLE

The hand that rocks the cradle rules
the world except for the very small
part of il that lies within the cradle.
This is parahoNical but perhaps there
is truth in it. The child is the moth
er'S lever on society. but at the same
time the mother l. Il part of the circle
which the baby rules. The child and
not the mother is the king pin Of the
race Even in the humble homes of
democratic society. all things give way
tn the young>ter in the cradle. What
then must he his sway where the 'ac-
cident of birth means everything?
The birth Of daughter in the royal
family of Holland has ea>ed the APP
prchrn>ion of many who feared lest
Germany should a>>imilate Holland for
the lack of direct heir to the Dutch
crown. How minute will be the care
which this baby will receive and how
eNacting the attention that she will
command Truly the monarch of the
cradle i the one most absolute.

Rexall Obesity Treatment

1t is a mistake and an I'M Justice to as
sumo that all fat persons are gluttons or
large eaters. Very many excessively corpu-
lent people, especially women, are small eat
ers, while some very hearty eaters are gaunt
and thin. Another prevalent error in regard
to fat people Is that they are inert or lazy
and never exercise. 1t is not the quantity or
the quality OF the food one eats which deter
mines the putting on OF flesh, as obesity is
indeed disease and is not merely the result
OF laziness or gluttony. Its cause is in those
mysterious chemical changes by which the
food we take into the mouth is converted
into blood and bones and muscle, skin, hair
and brain cells. Exercise will not reduce your
fat because, as it REDUCES one way, it tempts
to greater consumption of food, so one
thing balances the other, and no amount of
training down" will be of any avail and
much less 50 on account of the fact that
obesity is disease. The only treatment we
know of for the radical removal OF flesh is
Rexall Obesity Treatment with which is CON-
bned the auxiliary Obesity Tablets. This
treatment is sold under positive guarantee
to systematically reduce overfatness, as it is
the most complete and scientific combina-
tion of fat-reducin9 elements and is depend
able TO produce results from the fact that it
aims at obesity or overfatness as a disease.
