Stylish say the dressmakers.
This would have been sad news for the
fat woman year ago. She would have
had to try dieting or exercise. Nowadays,
however the woman who is too fat for the
styles goes to druggist and gets a case
of Marmola Prescription Tablets, one of
which she takes after each meal and at
bedtime and SO reduces her superfluous
flesh quickly
These tablets, being made in accordance
with the famous prescription, are perfect
ly harmless, and they are, also. the most
economical preparation a person can buy,
for they cost only 70 cents large case,
one of which is frequently enough to
start a person to losing - at the rate
of II or IA ounces a day. -retty nearly
every druggist keeps this tablet in stock,
but should yours be sold out, you can
easily obtain a case by sending to the
makers. the Marmola Company 1896 Far

THEY LOOK DIFFERENT
Nothing Equals the Landscape and
Painting of the Japanese.

Six months ago a Jap came through
Topeka placing orders for handpaint-
ed scenes of the land of the Mikado-
This morning the quantity covered
and peculiarly marked package came
to J. c.. Wolcott, 720 Kansas avenue.
and when unwrapped disclosed thirty
of the most unique and daintily col
ored paintings ever seen in Topeka.
While no two paintings are of the
same subject, yet many have as
background, the snowy crown of
Mount Full San, considered by the
Japs as one of the Japanese gods
This collection of paintings is the
only one OF the kind in Topeka. They
come in panels in several sizes rang
ing from twenty inches by twelve, six
by twenty, down to ten by twelve.
They are all suitable for framing.
Each piece shows the work of a
genuine artist and they all look dit
ferent from anything in this country.
The moon bathes the little Oriental
Isles and this particular landscape in
q cheerful, yet subdued light, while
the daylight views indicate a more toll
Grant sun than we experience here and
the shadows, colors and highlights
are all blended into an especially har-
moniZing effect
