THE CONFLICT OF

The average man will 'jolly'' with the stout girl; but he steals glances over her shoulder at that Miss Slen- of the latter in fatuous silence than really enjoy himself with the other. Such is the power of line. Just a line from chin to toe, or nape to heel that's all. But it rings the merry mar riage bell.
 Fat women should not repine-but refine-their own lines by means of that phenomenal-the Marmola Tab let. No exercising or dieting is neces- sary. Simply take one tablet after each meal and at bedtime, and in a little while the overplus of fat-the coarseness of aspect-will disappear. The figure will become slight enough to permit of a maidenly contour, a pure outline, being fashioned with corset and gown. Then victory-if not revenge
 Although Marm ola Tablets often take off uniformly a pound of f1abby fat day, they are quite harmless (be- ing made of the famous fashlonablc prescription: F oz Marmola, F oz' Fl. Ex. Cascara Aromatic, 3k OF. Pep permint Water). Consequently. even tinid ones are safe in using them, for no ill-not even a wrinkle or stomacn ache-Will follow their use; seventy five cents secures large case at any druggists or by mail from the Mar mola Co.,, S79 Farmer Bldg, Detroit Mich.
