The Slim Woman Is Winning

The day of the slim woman's tri- umph has arrived. The thinner one is the more stylish" say the dressmak CTS
 This would have been sad news for the fat woman a year ago. She would have had to try dieting or exercise Nowadays, however the woman who is to fat for the styles goes to a druggist and gets a case of MarmOla Prescrip- tion Tablets, one of which she takes after each meal and at bedtime and so reduces her superfluous flesh quickly
 These tablets, being made in accord ance with the famous prescription, are perfectly harmless, and they are, also, the most economical preparation per son can buy, for they cost only 75 cents large case one of which is frequently enough to start a person to losing fat at the rate of F or If ounces day. Pretty nearly every druggist keeps this tablet in stock, but should yours be sold out, you can easily obtain case bv sending to the makers, the Marmoia Company. 213 Farmer Bldg Detroit. Mich

THE LIFE WORK
 OF H. [. WHITE FOLLOWED ALREADY FOR QUAR-
 TER OF CENTURY. A Teacher of Those Denied the Power of Oral Speech.

Mention has been made of the ar rival in the city of H. C. White of Boston. Mir White, is d deafmute and for a quarter of century has been engaged in teaching others who are without the power of oral speech.
 Mir White brings many letters of recommendation both of his character and his ability in the line which he has chosen to follow for the relief of others who can not communicate as other men do. Among these letters is one from Mayor Fitzgerald of BOs- ton In relation to his work, Mir. White makes the following state ment:
 When I was twenty-five years old twenty-five years ago, built uR the Utah school for the deaf with my bride as matron After twenty five years, 1 heard the cry of the wild woody west, in Boston and came back to Arizona to see if l can not add another new school to my credit.
 The Utah schol was at first con nected with the University of Deseret now the University of Utah) as one of it's departments but has since we returned to Boston fifteen years ago it has been transferred to ogden. Al present it has a Young Utah Nor mon as principal. The school has grown into one of the best of it's class in the west We were fortunate in having the sympathy and cordial as sistance of both the governors and the Mormon legislature. Cows Eli Fl. Murray, Cabel w. West and Arthur l. Thomas were always our friends While We had Judge Goodwin of the Salt Lake Tribune as our friend we also had James Sharp. Jr., who used his power and influence to good ef- feet among the Mormons and l can never forget his services. l wonder if any of these men are still in the land of the living.
 Young as we were, we knew enough to keep clear of political and religious issues, and our school was strictly non -sectarian. We were on good terms with both Gentiles and Mormons. until the last day of our stay in Utah. I believe l can man age the deaf children from the mixed classes of population in Arizona.
 I had several pupils from the Mor- mons in Arizona in my school, and since then there must be a good many deaf children in Arizona, though no body can tell me of any except half a dozen tLat efv sciIL tC tli- JaliIur - mia S.stitution to be educated at Ari- zJna's expense.
 According to the census bureau. the ratio of deafmutes to the population GOV the population of Arizona is 10000, then there are 150O deaf and dumb children growing up uneducated and as undesirable citizens

 This has been proved true-let a school for these unfortunate and neg lected children be started anywhere. and it will be filled to it's utmost ca pacity.
 There are schools for the deaf in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, IdadO, California and every other state ex- cept Nevada.
 Who can say that a school of this kind is not needed in the great and growing state of Arizona?
 While we were living in Boston, I trained my daughters to the profes- sion. one was d teacher in two New York institutions for the deaf until recently She has just been married to a young lawyer and member of the New York legislature. My other daughter is at present a teacher in the St John. New Brunswick, school for the deaf, and her services can be called upon to assist me in this work in Arizona if needed. Of course both can hear and talk.

There are several exceedingly strong sit- nations in the play, with even stronger lines to give them life. but as a rule there is too much repetition of thoughts and lines, fact that tends to make the per- formance drag and takes all the snap out of the action of the story.

ADJUSTMENTS
sKins podo"

"King Dodo,' revived, was presented at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night. This tuneful and divert ing musical piece has been in retirement for some years, but it has too many excel lent qualities to be entirely forgotten, and In it's present revival, with com pany far above the average in ability and general outfittng that leaves little to be desired, it is still able to hold it's own quite handily with some of the newer musical shows which have less music in thein and less humor. King Dodo' is more nearly comic opera than what is usually called musical comedy. and Its many entertaining features were well brought out last night by the various members of the company. William Friend as the principal comedian capered and chuckled in a most diverting way, while Eleanor Kent proved most acceptable as the prima donna. Miss Kent not only has a fine stage presence and voice of good quality, but she has engaging ways and wears some stunning costumes. She is well adapted to play the part of Piola, soldier of fortune Zoe Barnett was An nette and acquitted herself in capital style. Miss Barnett is exceedingly grace ful. sings well and is endowed with un usual vivacity Osborn Clemson as Pe- dro, William Herman West as Dr. Fizz, Charles J. Udell as Bonilla, Phenia lock hart as Angela and Laura Willard as Queen Lili played the minor parts in satisfactory way.
 The performance was enlivened by sprigty chorus work and the ensembles were at times very pretty, the costumes being varied and beautiful. The revived "King Dodo'' is well worth while. and the present tour of this popular comic opera is meeting with deserved success.
