The Body Is.a
 Fat Factory

When man or woman grows fat and huge. flabby layers of this worth less flesh makes them miserable, it is a certain sign that somewhere within the organism of that man or woman there is something radically wrong The healthy man or woman 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 gooh and hence they turn into the blood that which makes fat. It is very sim pie to correct these Juices in fat per son. This secret has been demonstrat- ed in the famous Marmola Tablets which now have such a tremendous sale They reduce fat at the rate of l2 to 5 ounces a day. They correct the faulty juices and give to the body the very nutrition it needs. They remove fat in natural manner, but they do it so quickly as to be almost beyond be- lief You do not have to diet or exer- else and you may eat what you will demand on the part of the public for a form of the famous Marmoia prescrip- tion that will permit a fat person to carry his fat reducer with him at all times, so that each meal will add no more fat to his body. Msrmola Tablets are sold by every druggist. or you may write the Marmola Company, s03 Far iuer Bldg. Detroit. Mich. and a case will be sent you privately by mail. The price of Marmola Tablets is 75 cents everywhere.

Green Folwers for St. Pat
 rick's Day

The green blossoms that transform the florist window into a fragrant field of verdure are in keeping with the color scheme pervading all St. Patrick's Day.
 Nature has been very chary of her greens in tnting flower petals but what nature omits science supplies, and so we have the green boutonniere or corsage bouquet in compliment to the patron saint Of old Ireland.
 A successful method employed in trans forming white flowers into green Is the use of analne dye. Place green analine in water until the desired shade is ob- tained, Try by dipping any white ma terial into the solution. remembering it is best to choose a delicate shade. Place the flowers in the water and in a short time, as their thirsty stems drink it up. the dye will circulate through their veins and be absorbed by the petals.
 Carnations lend themselves easily to this coloring process, as do write chrys- anthmums Lilies and roses are less susceptible, because of their fineness of texture.
 Unique in the extreme is a St. PatrclS's floral conception of pale green carnations punched together like great cabbage. with fringe of valley lilies. the whole enclosed in a funny little old fashioned ruffle of papier mache lace and tied with grass green tulle.
