Governor Crothers one day this week
increasing the representation of Al
legany, Garrett and Caroline counties
in the House Of Delegates by one ad-

Eat What You Will,
Food Makes Not Fat

1t is a mistaken theory that food
makes fat. It 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 prepared
in tablet form for the convenience of
those who do not desire to take the
LIQUID prescription. These little tab
lets when they reach the stomach stop
the Juices from working the wrong way.
They renew those fluids and at once
your food gives your body just what 1t
wants and only what it needs. This is
the secret of Marmola tablets. They
will reduce the fat that is now on your
person at the rate OF from IL TO 10
ounces a day and they will not cause
you the least Inconvenience or worry.
You may eat early or late, you may sit
still or run about, II will not make any
difference. Just put 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 assured
that the meal will not harm you or
make YOU grow more stout. There 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 if your modesty
will not permit you to ask for them at
your druggists you may receive pack
age from the makers, The Marmoia
Company, 2S1 Farmer Bldg, Detroit,
Mich. The price per large case Of the
Marmola tablets Is 7hreents.

Here Are Some Late
Ideas in Writing Papers

For a young girls use there IS no sta
tionery more suitable than the fabric
finished surfaced French dimity. which
comes in white, gray. and stone blue
square sheets of correspondence and
hasty note size, with envelopes OF
matching dimensions. OF an equally re-
fined and dainty character are the linen
lawn papers in solid tints of aeroplane,
dawn pink, Baltic blue, willow green,
orchid, and cream-the hemstirched fab
rio crossbar in white bordered with a
pale shade Of color, and the diagonally
striped fabric in two tones of mauve,
blue or buff.
A fad Of the hour, and one permissible
only as a joke when a note passes be-
tween two very intimate young girls, is
the red-edged, tan-colored "Chanticler"
paper, which has a Growing rooster en-
bossed at the top Of each sheet.
Lawnette correspondence cards for &C
ceptances and regrets are accompanied
by envelopes having semi-elliptical or
triangular flaps on which monogram
or initial may be engraved. This sta
tionery comes in a variety of pale tints,
of which buff, pale gray, gray-blue or
white are prettiest.
Luncheon place cards matching the
shades and patterns Of the French dim
Ity and crossbar lawn fabric finished
stationery are exceedingly smart and In
eminently good taste, as are also cardS
of umbrella shape bearing hand-painted
violets, daisies, and crocuses, and in cut
out flower and figure designs.

Suitable Gifts for Girls
Travelling to Europe

At this season, when so many people
are starting for a European trip al
most every girl has some friends who
are going, and she probably has one or
more to whom she would like to make
some little gift for them to use while
travelling. One of the really desirable
things to give is a new kind of very
fat brush that comes in q soft leather
case.
These brushes take up hardly any
space, and can be packed fiat against
the side of a satchel or steamer trunk.
The brush itself is only about half an
inch thick and the leather of the case
amounts to very little, so it is much
easier to carry in travelling than any
ordinary clothes brush. The case may
contain only one brush or It may be
double and have two-one st1n brush
for clothes and a soft one for hats.
The giver can also buy, to so with
this a similar soft leather case for
handkerchiefs and wells. This is made
on the plan of a mans pocket letter
case. 1t Is, Of course. larger than the
letter case, and is very fat. The poe
ket on one side will hold comfortably
a dozen. handkerchiefs, folded to fit
without too much tapping over each
other, and on the other. side several
ed wells can be carried. These cases are
also made for gloves, and the girl VINO
wants to give her travelling friend quite
a substantial present can get a WhoIe
set of the leather cases just anke.
