For the Woman That's Fat

A Detroit physician says that the cheapest and safest mixture a fat wo- man who wants to get thin can use is F ounce Marmola (get it in the orig inal k-ounce package), F ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and BE ounces Peppermint Water. The proper amount to take is a teaspoon full after meals and at bedtime.
 These ingredients may be obtained from ant druggist at small cost, and make a combination that is not only excellent as a fat reducer, being able, it is claimed, to take off a pound a day without causing wrinkles, but is also splendid help to the system as a whole, regulating the stomach and bowels (where the fat persons trou- bles begin), and clearing the skin of pimples and bIotches. No exercise is required to help the remedy in it's work and. best of all, no dieting is necessary while taking it-you can eat what you like.

''1 do not think there is anything unseem- ly in this lady's presence" quoth he. "She wears gown and-yes, Pm pretty sure that she also wears a wig" The lady went.-London Tatler.

LONELY AND MISERABLE.
Bereft of Wife and Babies, Spartan.
burg Man Planned Suicide.

Spartanburg, Nov. 15.-The arrest
of Smiley Beacham in this city on a
charge of petty larceny brought to
light the intent to suicide that ex-
listed in this young mans breast, and
his subsequent failure.
His home was in Marshall, N. c.,
where he lived together with his
wife and two children until January.
Within two months both Of his child
rem died and his wife soon followed
them to another land.
After this trouble Beacham could
not resist the temptation to drink
and whiskey had about gotten the
best of him, it is said.
In a drunken condition, he took
several razors from a local barber
shop and his arrest followed. When
searched at police headquarters,
there was found on his person book
with the request that the finder send
it to his sister after he was dead.
It was filled with about thirty
pages of one of the most beautiful
letters ever written, telling how mis-
erable he was since his wife died, and
saying that there remained nothing
in this world for him to live for. He
added that he wanted to die and that
aside from her, his sister to whom he
was writing, and his aged mother, he
was friendless. He gave instructions
as to where he was to be buried and
said that he wanted to go because 1t
was the only way for him to again
see his wife and babies.
The way that he had determined
to end his existence was to remain
at their graves and starve to death,
saying that as the lines were writ
ten, that he had already been two
days without food. The attempt,
however, failed and back to whiskey
he had gone, until it landed him be-
hind the bars. He was then tried
and said that he may have taken the
razors, but that if he did he was ig-
norant of the fact, and blamed it on
whiskey. He was not sentenced.
1t is said that he made an attempt
at suicide some time ago by drinking
laudanum.

MILE RIDES IN ELEVATOR.
Strange Spectacle Astonishes Some
People at Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 1.-THE popu-
lace thereabouts were somewhat
astonished yesterday afternoon upon
seeing an onery-looking gray mule,
Mary, walking unconcernedly out of
the main entrance of the Gambler
building, a seventeen-story skyscra-
per.
The astonishment of those outside,
however, could not be compared with
that displayed by patrons of the
building in the lobby when Mary
stepped out of one of the seven ele-
vators and walked as calmly as only
a Georgia mule can, through this hall
of carved marble, inlaid floors and
gold leafed ceilings, toward the door
way.
The reason: Mary with her old
sidestick, Jim, another mule, had
some several minutes before pulled
a wagon-load of coal for the Cand-
ler building up to the manhole for
delivery. The coal was dumped and
in some fashion Mary followed the
coal down the chute. The only way
to get Mary out was via the elevator.

fenced in general sessions to-day to

former, wife, said that during their
married life Woodward was in con-
slant trouble. In my belief" she
added, ''he is beyond redemption.
Nothing can induce him to lead an
honest life. Our son, now 21 years
old, joins me in appealing TO you to
infiict upon him such punishment as
will in your wisdom relieve US and
society from the menace Of his pres
ence. Our only daughter, who died
at sixteen, told me on her death
bed that her fathers conduct had
broken her heart and filled her life
with shame and she did not care
whether she lived or died."

The Discovery

Here is an outline of the story ust
enough to make you want it all.
Two years ago, Mr. John N. WHY'S was
a dealer in automobiles. There came to
him one day a remarkable car-evidently
the creation of mechanical genius. The
simplest, sturdiest Notwithstanding car
that anyone around there had seen.
The name of the car was the Overland.
And the price-then, 81, 250-was as amaz-
ing as the car itself.
The sale of this car spread like wildfire.
Each car sold brought call for twenty
others like it. Old and new motor car
owners came by the score to deposit ad-
vance money attracted by the Overland's
matchless simplicity.
But the cars did not come. And when
Mr. WHY'S went to the makers he found
them on the verge of receivership.
The genius which had created this mar
velous car could not finance the making IN
the face of the 1907 panic.

The $1,000 Overland

This year an Overland better than last
years 81, 25O carts being sold for 81 900.
That is because the tremendous production
has cut the cost 20 per cent.
A 25 horsepower car, capable OF so miles
an hour, for $1,000, complete with lamps
and magnetic Never did a maker give
nearly so much for the money.
There are higher powered Overlands for
81, 25O-$1, 400 81 500. They are just as
cheap in comparison as the 81 900 model.
The Overlands are unique in simplicity.
They operate by pedal control. A ten-year-
old child can master the car in a moment.
They are made in the same factory, and
by the same man as made the Pope Toledo
"a $4,25O car. The reason for the price
lies in the production of 125 cars per day.

The Pope Toledo Plant

Mr.. WHY'S next step was to buy the
Pope-Toledo factory of the greatest
automobile plants in the country This
gave him four well-equipped factories
just Is months from his start.
But the Toledo plant wasn't sufficient.
So he gave his builders just 40 days to
complete an addition larger than the origi
nal factory.
Then he equipped these buildings with
the most modern machinery every
conceivable help and convenience that
cars could be built here for less than any
where else.
Now 1000 men work on Overland cars.
The output is valued at $4,000 per day.
The contracts from dealers for this seasons
delivery call for 10000 cars.
Now this man has acquired % acres
around his Toledo plant. And his purpose
is to see-from this time on-that those
who want Overlands get them.
