Victims of Obesity
Cure Yourself at Home in Comfort

Cure Yourself at Home in Comfort
 As a bodily affliction Obesity often seems to be inexplicable, so rapid is the increase of weight and bulk, even in cases where the victims are stu d1ously temperate in eating, etc. There is evidently a predisposition that way, and neglect only tends to confirm it. The remedies tried may nave grievously disappointed you.
 Here is one that will not do SO, and you may get the ingredients at your druggists and mix them your self without trouble: Ask for F oZ. Marmola, F OF. Fluid Extract Casca- ra Aromatic and 3K oz Peppermint Water. Shake together ip a good sized clean bottle. Simply take this mixture after each meal and at bed time, one teaspoonful to the dose, and give yourself no further trouble; the superfluous fat will subside with won- derful rapidity.
 Dieting need not worry you in the least, nor is violent exercising at all desirable. Wasting methods of weight reduction are not natural Try the pleasant treatment above prescribed Tor a week or so, and you will be fit, strong and free from all bodily dis comfort, besides having regained cor rect weight and shapely figure.

his fellow Republican from the Fifth He said: ''The plan to widen on the l north side appeals to me. l believe
 1t to be the best plan. l am not in l f1uenced even if the alderman who has just spoken continues to insinu-
 ate that some of the votes here have
 been changed by outside influences
 l am tired of hearing of this talk of aldermanic flip Hops or turn overs
 The source from which it emanates is the cynical disposition of man
 who is not able to think for himself
 Not able to think for themselves such people have a funnel up to their ears so that the information can be pour ed in."
 Alderman Jackson answered.: eff six years ago that Alderman King in-
 troduced a resolution here to widen Congress street on the south side. Somehow or other nothing more was was introduced. Auditor Heating
 has said the south side was the prop CT side to widen on but that it was question of price. Yet the price on the south side has never yet been determined. As to the oratory it is
 matters and a right that every mem
 Der of this council has. I have writ ten down. here that Alderman Prtm-
 rose said, I favor the south side, but. after I saw the plan of MT. Man
 waring, I changed my mind I have
 respect for the opinion of Alderman Primrose and for every other man in this council. But I say again it is good business to get the price of widening on both sides"
 A little later Alderman Jackson arose to speak again but Alderman Fletcher objected on the ground that he had already spoken twice on the same question. The objection was sustained.
 Chairman John H. McMurray of walks, said that the citizens de- manded to know what it was going to cost to widen on the south side before action was taken on the wid- en1ng of the north side. He said that 1t was matter of about three weeks time for the Board of Appraisal to make a report relative to the south side and that there was nothing final in the adopting of the recommenda- tions of the committee which made it possible to consider both sides of the street. He said that the decIara- could spare land for the widening without affecting the proposed plans for his new proposed new theatre re- moved one of the obstacles that pre- sented itself to the aldermen at a previous meeting.
 Alderman Conlin said that he was of the opinion that the cost of wid- ening on the south side would not be found so great as has been antici- pated.
 Alderman Gould said there had been great deal of talk about be- ing fair but he could not see any fairness in asking the aldermen to go all over the question of widening on the south side as the aldermen had already decided that they favor cd iyo !, -iI IT contended that the report of the board of appraisal would not be final in the matter as there was hardly ever case involving a large sum of money where the assessment of the board had not been appealed from and taken to the Superior court. The vote was then taken and the Gould amendment carried.

COUNCIL REFUSES HEARING
 TO SOUTH SIDE WIDENING
By Vote of 12 to il it is Determined That Only Project on North Side Shall be HeaTd-Date Of Hearing Fixed For June 28--Jackson and Primrose Exchange Sharp
 Language

The widening of Congress street or at hearing to be held before the Common Council Tuesday evening June 2S. The aldermen voted to ex- clude consideration of the south side last night by vote of 12 to II de- spite the appeals of the members ot the committee on streets and side walks to have the hearing cover both sides of the street so that the cost of widening on the south side could be ascertained to compare with the ap- praisal of benefits and damages on the north side.
 There was much oratory on the votes less in the ranks of the stand patters' for the north side than at an earlier meeting. If Alderman Mahoney had been in attendance it might have been necessary for the mayor to break tie on the ques- t1on, but he was absent.
 A resolution by Alderman Robert H. Gould was substituted for the re- port of the comittee. It excluded the south side from consideration and the aldermen who voted for the amend ment were Aldermen Cassidy, O'Neil Paddock, Primrose, Gould, Wilder Bertilson, Fletcher, Bullard, O'Con- nell, Feyrer and Zink.
 Those who voted against the amendment were Aldermen McMur- ray, Walker, Clampett. Griffin. Con- lin, Reddy, Brady, Lavery, Jackson, Stewart and Meyer.
 The committees report called for a hearing upon '"The widening of Congress street from Main street to Housatonic avenue, and the widening of the approach to the new Congress street bridge (so-called,) on the west side"
 The amendment of Alderman Gould was as follows: Resolved, That the City Clerk be and he hereby is di- rected to notify the persons in tn- terest to appear before this Common Council at the council room in the City Hall on the 18th day of June, 1910, at o'clock in the evening and then and there be heard in relation to the following public improvement: The widening of Congress street east from Main street upon its northern side to Housatonic avenue and to the western extremity of the new Con- gress street bridge; and the widening of Congress street east from Main street upon it's northern side, Of the western extremity of said new Con gress street bridge and the western approach to said new Congress street bridge easterly from the eastern end of said Congress street..
 Alderman Jackson said he had not changed his mind since the last meeting about the matter and that he was anxious to learn what 1t was going to cost to widen on the south side He wanted to know if it was not fair to ascertain the cost of wld- ening on the south side. He said he believed that it was a discreet busi- ness proposition for the city to get some records of the cost of widen ing on the south side. He hoped that the aldermen would go on record as being fair in the matter ana not ex- clude the south side from being con- sidered He said that he was not in fuenced by any one in the matter and that he had not been asked to vote one way or the other.
 Alderman Primrose appeared to be a. little angered at the remarks of

 MT. Goodwin said that during the debate in the last Legislature on the public utilities bill he felt that some one should be a candidate who had that bill at heart and who would see that 1t was passed-not in an emas- culated form but in a way to test the principles on which it was found ed. He believed in effective public utilities and employers liability bills and the removal of the s5,O00 damage limit for deaths.
