enormous-weighs nearly 300 pounds.
She came to ask how | reduced myself to
my present slim trimness.
OF course, | told her about Marmola
Prescription Tabets-Hew they contain
exactly the same ingredients as the
Marmola Prescription that took off my
fat, and assured her they were perfectly
harmless. Said she'd be willing to buy a
ton of them If they did any good at all.
The boy is a tremendous eater and is
too lazy to take any exercise tall fat
people are), but you know | stopped
starving and cayorting long before
started to take Marmoia.
That's the beauty of this wonderful
methodist isn't dependent upon any

that boy favor.
In few months, he'll be solid and
smooth-skinned, with better figure and
health than ever before and he need

BUCKEYES GIVE EVERY
CANDIDATE MUCH HOPE

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 21-With
fair weather conditions the voters
turned out early and are polling a
heavy vote in the state primaries for
the election of delegates to the re-
publican and democratic national con-
ventions. Supporters OF President
Taft, Colonel Roosevelt and Senator
La Toilette, the republican side and
Governor Harmon, and Governor Will
son on the democratic, all express
confidence in the result.
The polls opened at $50 and will
close at $50 this afternoon. 1t is
believed it will be late before the re-
suit is known. La Toilette hopes
to elect at least IL delegates, the
Roosevelt forces say they are sure
of at least 80, the Harmon men ad-
nit that Bryan's opposition to him
has hurt Harmon badly but declare he
will win easily despite this.

SACRAMENTO Cal, May 21.-Gov-
ernor Johnson today issued a state
ment that he had directed the states
attorney general to go to San Diego
that justice might be done and the
law enforced and the problem of the
|. w. W. and vigilantes be solved
johnson said however anarchistic
the l. w. w. might be no organized
government could tolerate an admin
istration of law by vigilant or any
eXtra-judicial body
He said that if San Diego wished the
aid of the state in any just cause
it would have it. But he said il the
rights of any man however humble or
feeble had been trampled on the state
would endeavor to provide redress
It appeared that the governor said the
rights of some innocent persons had
been infringed on in San Diego.
