nation. But none of them knew anything about
it, and Emmie intended that they never should.
1t was an errand upon which she had gone
to Manchester every spring for the last thirty
years; and she would not have neglected it
for anything 1t was the one touch of romance
in her otherwise conventional and we'll ordered
existence. Unobtrusively and almost furtively
she made her way to a Roman Catholic church
and slipped in through the heavy swing doors;
and as she did so she had that delightful
sensation of Sanctified sinfulness and ordered
rebellion which we all experience when we do
something that we feel to be wrong and yet
know to be right.
1t was the Service of Benediction; and
Emmie sat for awhile at the back of the
church, lulled into peaceful dreaminess by the
sound of the chanting and the smell of the
incense; and her soul was stirred with feeble
strivings after that elusive Something which
she had dimly apprehended at the revival in
the chapel at home, and had caught glimpses
of in the woods at springtime.
Emmie did not attempt to join in the SER
vice,-she was far too thorough Protestant
for at,-she just sat still and dreamed till
it was over; and then she did the StrangeSt
and most unexpected thing of all. She made
her way to the sacristy, and gave money to one
of the priests to say prayers for the soul of one
Emilia Ferrari; then she made her way to the
station and took the train back to Ormesleigh.
1t was glorious evening, and the mountains
on each side seemed clothed with glory as the
train threaded its way among the foundations
of the hills And as she sat and looked out of
the window at the beautiful scenery through
which she was passing, Emilia Rowley's
thoughts went back to the time when the
strange rite she had just performed had been
inaugurated. She remembered it as if it had
happened yesterday, and as she sat in the
railway carriage she lived through it all agan
in her mind And this is what she remembered:
IN certain afternoon, thirty years earlier,
~ she was left to look after her father in his
last illness. The nurse was resting; and Mrs.
ROwley had gone out to attend to one of her
multifarious religious duties. There he lay
among his pillows, with his dark eyes and
aquiline nose, looking like grand old eagle
whose wings had been clipped. He had been
a singularly handsome man all his life, and he
was handsome to the end.

Eat What You Will,
Food Makes Not Fat

It is a mistaken theory that food
makes fat 1t Is not the food you eat
but the way it is digested that makes
fat. Your system produces digestive
juices that turn good food into poor
flesh and fat. Stop those juices from
being made by your body and you stop
making fat. The famous Marmola pre-
scription which has created so much
comment in our cities has been pre-
pared in tablet form for the convenience
of those who do not desire to take the
liquid prescription. These little tab
the juices from working the wrong
way. They renew those fluids and at
once your food gives your body Just
what II wants and only what II needs.
This is the secret of Narmola tablets.
They will reduce the fat that is now
on your person at the rate of from IL to
Is ounces a day and they will not cause
you the least inconvenience or worry.
You may eat early or late, you may sit
sun or run about, II will not make any
difference. Just put a tablet in your
purse or your pocket when you go out
to a dinner. After each meal take one
OF the Marmola tablets and rest as
sured that Nhe meal will not harm you
will be no large wrinkles after your fat
has fed. Your skin will be smooth and
regular. These little tablets are sold
at every drug store, or II your modesty

ADVOCATES
BARRED, SAYS PAGE
Committee Slate Framers
Committed to Free Raw
Materials, He Asserts.

1T seems that self-constituted leaders
who are endeavoring to formulate a
slate and make up a Ways and Means
Committee for the Democratic House are
committed to the doctrine Of free raw
materials, and not to the time-honored
policy of tariff for revenue only"
In these words Representative Page,
of North Carolina, today stated his view
of the contest between Democratic fac
tions. Mr.. Page is a supporter of Rep
resentative Pou, whom the opposing
faction has determined to depose from
Ways and Means, along with Repre-
sentative Brantley, of Georgia, because
they voted at times with the Republican
regulars for duties
Mr.. Pou has served on Ways and
Means in two Congresses, placed there
bv unanimous action Of his delegation
tinent of their constituents; they are
unsatisfactory to the people who are
assuming to make up the committees
because they did not commit themselves
to free raw materials. II these self
appointed leaders think they can pro-
duce harmony by ignoring a large elc-
ment in the party. thew are mistaken.
Differences exist, indeed, and the way
to reconcile them is 10 have them rep
thresh out the whole matter"
Mr.. PAGE and his FIVE Democratic col
leagues from North, Carolina who voted
against free lumber resent the charge
that they were influenced by Senator
simmons to take that course, ard deny
that their action was displeasing to
their people.

Plan a Branch Bank
For the Union Savings

The Union Savings Bank will open a
branch office. to be known as the Gen.
trail Branch OF the Union Savings Bank,
in the quarters formerly occupied by
the Central National Bank, on the cor
ner of Seventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue.
President Smith, OF the Union Savings,
has long been searching for a desirable
location and A. E. Randle, at the head
of the United States Realty Company,
ha shad similar ambitions. The election
of Mr. Randle to the board Of directors
of the Union Savings Bank and also Of
the National City, made the settlement
Of the matter possible.
The Central Branch of the Union Saw
ings i'll occupy the quarters formerly
occupied by the Central National, the
entire banking room and the vaults
in the basement. The combined de-
posits Of the two banks, of which Mr..
RandIe is now a director, are about
5000, 900.
l. is announced that the occupancy Of
the former quarters of the Central Ma
tional Bank, will in no way interfere
with the operations OF the proposed new
Federal National Bank, the organiza-
ton Of which is progressing smoothly.
The Central Branch of the Union
Savings i'll open for business February
I, 1911.
