Letters Of a Slim Made
Wsman to Her Fat Sister

Eighth letter. On the Matrimonial
Trials of Fat People
Dear Sis:-Here is aenewly discovered
truth. Fat does not grease the wheels
of happtness-it clogs them.
In spite of their reputation for iollity
fat people are inclined to be peeVish.
And now you're "peeved" at Bob and
filled with self-pity you write me, your
slim-made sister, for sympathy-and
he writes that nobody loves a fat
man."
1t isn't sympathy you two need-its
advice. And my advice to both of you
Is get slim. Only q few months ago I
was just as fat as either of you-and
just as irritable.
Now, sis, dear, forget your CROUCH
Take Marmola Prescription Tablets and
start the thinning process today.
Those tablets are just as harmless as
the doctors original Marmola Prescrip-
ton that made me thin.
Just quit all those exercises, stop diet
ing and take a pleasant little tablet
after each meal and at bedtime.
There's a hundred dollars worth of
happiness in every 75c box of Marmola
will furnish them or you can send the
price to the Marmola Co., Farmer Bldg,
Detroit, Mich. You'll look better, feel
better and live better every day you
take them. !
Soon you'll be again your old sweet,
slim, happy selves. Weigh his advice
and you will weigh less.
I've written Bob and toll him to run a
race with you to slimness. -a3
Affectionately, BETTY.

SUFFRAGE NOTES

The Cleveland Leader has the fol-
lowing editorial concerning woman
suffrage where It has been established:
Can anyone discover in the election re-
turns from western states In which
women exercise the full right of suff-
rage, the slightest evidence that they
change the result of h contests at
the polls? Is there one state in which
it can fairly be argued that the out
come of the election would have been
different IL the women who voted like
men a not possessed the right OF
suffrage? In Colorado an especially in
teresting demonstration was made OF
the fact that the sexes will not
separate widely or often in their use of
the ballot. Many amendments to the
state constitution and laws submitted
under the initiative were passed upon
bys-the voters of that western state.
Some of these measures were supposed
to be especially interesting to women
and sure to command their support
Yet the result was the defeat or most
of the propositions which were consid-
cred surest to receive an overwhelming
majority OF the votes cast by women.
One of the bugaboos made much or by
opponents OF women suffrage Is reduce
ed to nothingness by such object less
ons as the result of the recent elections
in half a dozen states where women
are equal with men at the polls. There
suffrage would entail any rink of an
tagonism between the sexes, or that it
would result in such defeats for meas
ures strongly supported by men that
they would bitterly resent the Interior
ence of their wives, daughters and sis
ters. The truth Is that women and
men living in he same communities
and confronted by the same problems,
will ordinarily deal with public ques-
tions in about the anne a They
will seek the same remedies for exist
ing evils and follow the same leaders.
Woman suffrage is not going to divide
homes, set the sexes at war with each
| other, or in any other way annu the
laws of nature or turn h world up
| side down.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Feb. 14.-There seems to
be something decidedly strange in the
condition Of e A I.arl<in the man who
recently came to this city and con-
fessed to the killing of Charles Ed
wards at Rexburg. Mont. He was ad-
judged insane by the commissioners OF
insanity Of this county, the crime he
committed so preying on his mind
even If he had been cleared by jury
on the plea Of self defense. This morn
ing when he awoke everything seemed
to be as clear to him as to the bright
est mind, and he says that he seems
to have been in q sort Of trance for
some time, he does not know how long
He told the sheriff that he had rela-
tives and money. Before coming ia
this city he had rented a room in Min
neapolis and he had left his valise and
other property in his room. He now
asks that the commissioners Of insan-
ity be reconvened and that he may
have another hearing.

Des Moines. Feb. 1.-THE question
Of the. country church is a question
Of Observation-Disclosures ecclesiastical
craftsmanship" declared Prof. S. c.
Bronson OF the theological department
Of the Northwestern University at
Evanston, ILL.,. to the delegates to the
inter-conference convention of the
Methodist churches in session yester-
day afternoon at the First Methodist
church.
Professor Bronson in making this
assertion was emphasizing fact
stated emphatically by the preceding
speaker, Henry Wallace, editor of Wal
laces' Farmer. that the rural districts
OF this country were overchurched ana
that UNCONVENTIONAL rivalry should
give way to UNCONVENTIONAL co-opera-
ton. What right has the home mis-
sioRary board to go into community
where there is already one church ano
establish another church," Mr.. Wal
lace directly questioned his audience.
Must Get Together.
AS instructor of practical theology
Professor Bronson answered Mr.. Wal
lace's question by saying that the de-
nominations must come together az
once and stop the overcfowding OF
churches in sparsely settled commun-
tiles, fraternize with each other and
even recommended to the conference
which he was addressing that 1t name
a commission before the conclusion OF
the sessions TO issue d call to c:nSI
denominations to appoint like COM
missions to consider the whole ques-
ton.
THE day is past" continued Pro-
lessor Bronson, when you can de-
fend your denominationalism in con-
tending with other christian churches
for the mastery In some little over
burdened community. We fraternize
with these brothers in all Of the rela-
tons Of life and yet we allow denomi-
national pride and jealousy to afflict
some community. with half dozen
churches. literally bleeding them to
death instead, of contributing to the
