Take OF the Fat
Where Il Shows

Most women suffer much humiliation be-
cause OF great quantities Of fat. so located
that no matter how they dress. everybody
sees that they are abnormal. This Ia the
day Of the slender figure. and fat women
are simply not to olerated either In business
or social Affairs. Women may not know
". but men when they see fat woman pass
them on the street make all manner Of
sympathetic remarks about her. They do
not mean TO be unkind or 10 seem unmanly.
but 1t Is natural for a man TO dislike fat on
woman. Where fat shows the most there
is where 1t must be removed. and as quickly
as possible. The hot weather dresses
seem to be made for the fat womnn's mis-
cry and the slender woman's Srliaht. They
expose all the chains of woman and her
ugliness as well Exercise and diet will
not remove fat This has been proved.
The famous Marmola prescription, which
has met with such phenomenal success
and has 10 many Of our society women as its
sponsors, is now being sold in tablet form

VAIL sPACE To BUY AND SELL.
How tho Buyer Works and How the
Product Is Disposed or.

1
Product IL Disposed or.
A concern dealing In wall sign advertise
Ing win buy any space that oan be made
available for that purpose provided that
1t can be bought at such q price that 1t
can be made to yield a profit. The space
buyer for such a concern has to be man
of intelligence and adaptability. for he
may cover the city and certain area OF
the surrounding territory. meeting all
sorts Of pople. city folks and farmers.
Some won't sell their space at any
price. some want too much; and then there
are some who will sell for some sorts Of
signs but not for others. The buyer must
know how to get along with everybody
with whom he does business.
Incidentally the wall space buyer keeps
track Of all the changes along the rail-
ways and the highways within his out
side territory. and he keeps also a con-
stant eye on real estate transactions in
the city, to know where new buildings
are going up and where old buildings
are to be torn down. He may be able
to buy the side Of new building or the
top space on it where 1t rises above the
building adjoining, or perhaps he can get
the exposed side Of an old building on
an adjoining vacant lot.
On some city side walls there might
be room for sign forty. fifty. sixty feet
high, while on the side or roof Of q country
barn or shed the space would be far less.
Sometimes in, the country you see an
advertising sign painted along on num-
Der OF sheds.
Some Of the spaces bought cost high
price. some are bought low. Many OF
the spaces acquired In city or country
Some are held for shorter periods and
OF some the tenure may be only tempo
rary, as in the case of side walls soon
obscured again by new buildings but
new spaces are constantly being leased
and the aggregate, amount OF space is
kept up or increased:
One concern in the business in New
York has under its control for advertising
signs about 100000 square feet, some;
where about twenty acres OF vertical
space scattered here and there in large
and small lots.
OF course some Of these spaces are in
preferred positions and cost the adyer-

ever he wants IL, He can take space.
as it runs. through q district or territory
or he can pick localities where he'd like
to be or where he thinks 1T would be ad-
vantageous for him to be. The adver-
tiser desiring to rent wall space for adver-
Using purposes may come prepared with
data showing just the amount, OF busi-
ness he is doing in various localities.
In one locality his business may be falling
Of and he wants to jack it up, little
and here he may think he will take more
space; in another locality his sales may
be running along all right and here he
thinks what he has got may do; and then
il may be that he thinks he would like
TO branch out little. in districts that he
has not yet covered.
Thus it may happen that the adver-
tiser wants to look the territory over;
and in such case the concern that buys
and sells wall space puts the customer
in an automobile and sends man out
wi<h him to show what it has to offer.

joyable novelty.
The event is to be given for the

be sent to Everett, Wash, where the
Northwest Saengerfest is to be held
on August u, IS, IA. The local or
ganization has won the prize for vocal

Baltimore The building was burned

the efforts of employees of the packing
plant and prisoners from the state

from the central station was called
to the packing plant shortly aftef L

Owing to the high wind it was diff

and the county road adjoining the
field is said to have enabled the men
to prevent the wheat field from burn

shack became ignited.
