The Body Is a
\ Fat Factory

When a man or woman grows fat and
huge, flabby layers of this worthless flesh
makes them miserable 1t is certain sign
that somewhere within the organism OF
that man or woman there is something
radically wrong. The healthy man or wo-
man digests all that is good in food and
throws off in a natural manner all that Is
bad. This is what the digestive juices are
made for. When these juices are weakened
or too powerful they can not get the good
things out of the nourishment we eat, and
hence they turn into the blood that
which makes fat. IL Is very simple TO
correct these juices in fat person. This
secret has been demonstrated in the
famous MarmOla Tablets which now have
such tremendous sale They reduce fat
at the rate Of from II 10 IS ounces a day
They correct the faulty juices and give to
the body the very nutrition IL needs.
They remove fat In a natural manner, but
they do il 50 quickly as to be almost be-
yOnd belief. You do not have 10 diet or
exercise and you may eat what you will.
These little tablets are the result OF a
demand on the part OF the public for q
form Of the famous Marmoia prescription
that Will permit fat person to carry his
fat reducer with him at all times so that
each meal will add no more fat to his
body. MaTmOla Tablets are sold by every

Lovely Night Gowns.
Many a designer has dreamed away his
life in the creation of lovely night gowns.
These night garments are lavlshly made
for the bride and money spent in having
a profusion of them and all Of them beauti-
full is never considered money wasted
They may be of any material, nainsook,
fine handkerchief linens. French batiste
and many other fine stuffs. Gowns at
ordinary prices, up to IS for instance, are
OF domestic manufacture.
But many brides are not content with
ordinary gowns; they ask the added ele-
gance Of fine imported materials and they
want their embroideries to be the most
delicate and dainty that can be made
MOST imported nlBhtSoWnS come from
Paris. of course. They are designed there
and II is from a Partisan artist that the re-
cent tendency toward empire effects has
come Simplicity is the ideal toward
which the designers now are working and
there is not so much ornamentation In the
really fashionable garments as there used
TO be. The sleeves are very short. Some
times on kimona models, which come
low over the shoulders, the sleeves are only
two or three inches in length. In the EN-
pire models they may be eight inches long
or longer and there are models in plenty
Of a cut a little less modern in which the
sleeves are longer.
Gowns which are not embroidered are
trimmed with cluny, val, or less expensive
laces and pretty insertion The embroid-
cred gowns however. represent the most
expensive outlay and the imported models
are beautiful. Most OF the Partisan impOr-
tations are made in converts where little
French girls under the expert instruction
OF the patient sisters practice proficiency
in the delicate art OF fine needle work.
The converts OF France turn out a vast
number OF garments OF this sort in a bewil-
dering variety OF designs and in the very
finest OF materials. They range in price
upwards from SIS.

There are some made of knit material at

of messaline or Jap silk. Sheer materials
