Perfectly Moulded Figures
Another Medical Discovery.

To get out of condition is detrimen-
tai TO beauty of form as well as 20
health There is a certain tiabbiness
which robs a good figure OF charm and
grace Those who are beginning to
grow fat rapidly are never in the pink
of condition.
But here medical science has slipped
in with a very wonderful remedy-one
which not only restores perfectly
moulded form but renews health and
strength. We give the recipe In full
for the benefit of our stoutish friends:
II OF. Marmola, II OF. Fluid Extract
Cascara Aromatic and 3la OF. Pepper
mint Water.
Any druggist will make up this pre-
scription or supply you with the In
gradients which you can mix yourself.
The dose is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
The great virtue OF this harmless
remedy is that whilst the excess fat Is
being expelled. the person under treat
ment has Il healthy appetite and does
not need to study dietetics or go In for
tiresome exercises. The whole, system
is refreshed" and reinvigorated the
blood renewed and muscular develop

They went TO field of pretty white
clover, and o that makes such nice
honey, But this naughty lazy bee.
instead OF getting the sweetness from
the blossoms. was just swaying back
and forth on the stem OF one OF the
flowers. II didn't want to work, and
1t just decided II wouldn't.
Now, this field was beside a school
house, and the lazy bee could hear
the children saying their lessons. Now
they were having their reading les
son. and what was IL they were read
ing?
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour?
1t gathers honey all the day
From every open flower"
First one read II and then another;
and then the teacher talked to them
about 1t and told them they ought to
be ashamed to ever be idle In school,
and fall In their lessons, when the lit
tie bees worked so hard all day long.
The children went back to their
seats and began to study so hard, and
were just as quiet and busy as could
be.
Then, how do you suppose that
lazy little bee felt? Why. IL was lust
as ashamed as could be, and 1t started
right in and worked SO hard that.
before night, 1t had gathered just as
much honey as any OF the other little
bees.

Sbnn The Matrimonial
Journal, Says Cynthia Grey

The matrimonial papers are flled with
advertisements inserted by the cum
ming and designing-both men and
women-whose one object is TO ruin,
either financially or morally, the I'M
sophisticated who answer. The hon.
est dupes are usually those whose
bashfulness, age or personal peculiari-
ties seem TO cut them off from meet
ing the men and women about them
in the way that ordinarily leads to
matrimony. They answer these ad-
vertisements and a correspondence
ensues. Then comes the blight, be-
fore or after the marriage-such as IT
is-when the victim has given up her
own self-her most precious posses
sion on earth-or her little store OF
savings. TO a brute or crook. The
notorious murder case OF Mrs. Gun
ness and her victims Is but one OF
many such instances.
Even ii IL were possible that both
parties to the advertisement were
honest and sincere I'm their intentions
think OF the terrible chances each
takes. the awful gamble such mar
riage means. Neither knows the other,
or has any real knowledge OF the
others characteristics and pecuiiari-
ties. How innnitesimally small the
chance that they Will be compatible
and congenial!
And. above all else, this matrimony
by correspondence ignores entirely
that love which should be the founda-
ton stone Of all marriages. Without
love marriage is prostitution. legaliz-
ed but immoral. Love only comes with
propinquity it never originates un-
der postage stamps.
You cannot love the man or woman
you have found through a matrimonial
journal DO not. by all that you hold
most holy, marry without love.
