SLENDER Margaret Knolly, now
| il you please. The fascinating leading
lady OF the Bijou. now more fascinat-
ing than ever, astonished all her
friends on Broadway the other day by
presenting 10 their admiring gaze a
svelt and willowy form in place OF the
plump. not TO say fat, outlines with
which she gaily sailed away To new
triumphs and foreign shores last jan
uary. After a good deal of diplomatic
cross examination from interested fat
acquaintance the secret was cautious
ly whispered To a few dear friends,
with the result that everybody knows
il now. II was not exercise, nor fast
ing. nor sea air. nor worry about her
new venture that had brought about
this wonderful willowy change in the
charming Margaret; no, none of these;
nothing but simple mixture which all
sood druggists are familiar with and
can supply at small cost, to-wit: one
half ounce Marmola, One-half ounce
Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic. and
three and one-half ounces Peppermint
Water. Grown folks need a teaspoon
full after meals and at bedtime" ex-
planned the now slender Margaret. 1T
is simply yonderful IL takes off the
fat quickly, as much as a pound day,
and keeps it off. You can eat what
you like, too. In that respect it is UNI
like anything of the kind | ever heard
Of. and besides IL has another splen-
did feature-it is entirely harmless,
and will not cause wrinkles. l think
It is about as essential a toilet article
for the woman who is fat and wants
to get thinner as face powder. In or
der to get the best results, however,
you should buy the Marmola, in the
original package and mix it i'm with the
other two ingredients after you get
home"

BRIGHT FUTURE PREDICTED
FOR The KIMBERLY co.


Local stockholders in the old Kim
ber1y- Whitley Mining company, which
has been In the hands of a receiver
for several months, are highly pleased
with the progress that is being made
toward the organization of a, new
company by means of which it is ex-
pcctcd that the mine will be on its
feet and producing ore within sixty or
ninety days, says the Marquette Min
ing Journal. With the consent Of the
court, the receiver has brought about
an arrangement whereby stockhold-
for share i'm the new. on a basis that
appears to be generally satisfactory.
The reorganization scheme also pro-
vides for wiping out. kthe debt that
stood against the old company, and
with the exception OF about $4,000,
funds to take care of all present
debts are now at hand. 1t Is thought
hat the remainder will be taken up
within q short time, and meantime
work at the mine Is going right along
The mill will be ready for operation
within three months at the most, and
from that time on there is every rca-
con to believe, say those most inter-
'"sted that the mine will be operated

ceded that the troubles of the Kim

United States Engineer George Bank:
superintendent of the Portage LAX,
ship canals, has completed his inspec-
tion OF the breakwater at the upper
end of the canal and has found il tC
be in need of repairs. which will be
made Immediately. The engineer who
went up TO make the inspection in the
tug Circle. found that the terrible
storm OF last December had torn away
six steel plates at the water line and
had smashed a great hole i'm the planks
OF the sloping face of the breakwater,
permitting the water To wash away the
rock filling Of the structure.
Mr.. Banks says the work of repair
ing this damage will start at once or
as soon as the sea, which has been
pretty rough for a few days, will per-
NIT the repair men TO do the work.
These men have just finished the work
OF repairing the damage done by the
Chieftain last summer when that boat
crashed into the revetment of the up
per canal This work was nearly all
done this past winter but the ice went
out before the job could be completed.
