Without Dieting
A New Way 10 Get Thin

An anti-ferment has been found
which stops fat from digesting. The
ablest physicians employ II.
II Is now put up in tablet form-in
tablets called eerIedets. Take one af-
ter each meal so that fat forming
food may pass out undigested.
No dieting necessary. Berledets pre-
vent the fats from feeding Then the
body, starved OF fat. feeds on the
sto-ed-up tissue. Thus reduction
comes the same as through starvation.
Harm is impossible. Results are
inevitable. A warrant in each box
guarantees them. The way is scien-
tihc, and you who need It owe your
selves test.

tory. Write us for more information.

Bids for a number Of proposed i'm

Mcdonald yesterday afternoon.
The bid of J. p Sullivan. Chicago.
of S1,54S, being the lowest offer for
the work Postmaster Mcdonald in his
report to the postoffice department at
Washington, advised that the con-
tract be awarded to the Chicago man.
The following are the names of the
contractors who offered bids:
c. V. Beatty, Liverpool, O., s4,7I0;

lions of 'GEverywoman" here. Those
familiar with the better things theat-
rieal can rely to the letter upon any
production appearing under the name
of Henry W Savage. He gave us
The Merry Widow" and many other
successes, and locally he has never
yet disappointed in his promises.
Ten years ago a play like Fine
Feathers" which H. H. FraIee will
present for the first time here at the
Illinois Oct. %, could not. have been
successfully produced, because at that
time it was generally believed that no
drama could possibly succeed without
love theme as its most important
basis. Yet this play by Eugene Wal
ter is, acclaimed the most important
dramatic work of the century. In
Fine Feathers the playwright has
struck out along new channels. In his
story the sex problem Goes not OBJ.
trude itself, not even by suggestion.
There are no lovers except the hus
band and wife, and their love is of the
human, everyday sort, which STUN
bles over the small thing as we'll as
! the big things of life, and far removed
from the perfect romano and ecstat
| ic bliss of the erstwh,le drama. But
the most significant feature of thi
play, in so far as it marks a new de
parture in playwrighting, lies in tht
authors treatment of the leadi2e
feminine role. Hers is not one of love
making. She is neither loving nor be
loved. She is just a woman-tht
sort one encounters every day, will
her faults and frailties and her grea
strength in the hour of need. 1t is
sure sign of the times. A generation
ago a woman's only place was TIL
home and fireside-her only mis-
sion to love and be loved-and thu
she was pictured on the stage. Il
Fine Feathers" Eugene Walter EN-
ploys human beings for his character

wife does not believe in the. old "lov
in a cottage" idea She prefers a gram
home and pretty clothes. She induce
her husband to put his hand in tn
financial grab bag and dares him t
take a chance at the system" Thi
character shows the partial develop
ment of the modern woman alon
business lines, although that this dc
velopment is not complete is show
by her ignorance of the principle in
volved in the action she urges upoI
her husband. II is by violating tn
principles that the final catactroph
comes, making the play really BIZ
human document and a sign of tn
present times.

Loss of Appetite

Is the first signal OF disorder and
decay. The usual loss OF appetite is
often caused By functional disturb
ances in the stomach. The stomach
fails to do the work required, the APP
petite is gone, and the body suffers
from lack of nourishment. Such "a
stomach needs to be cleaned and
sweetened. Meritol Tonic Digestive is
made especially TO assist the stomach
TO digest food, and promote healthy
appetite This remedy is sold on our
positive guarantee, and we ask you to
give it a trial. 1t is a genuine tonic.

New York, Oct. 16.-The house of
deputies Of the Protestant Episcopal
church yesterday passed BY a large
majority the first section of the canon
dividing the ecclesiastical domain In
to eight provinces despite opposition
from many of the low church delegates
who fought the change on the ground
IT wac a step in the direction of arch
bishops and IAN American pope" The
vote stood: lerical orders 66h for,
~ against and divided; lay orders,
47i4 for, 81 against and l divided
The vote must be concurred in by the
house OF bishops before the canon can
become effective.
Under the proposed canon each OF
the eight provinces would be governed
by a council composed OF two houses
At IFS head would be a president and
IN general the method of administra-
ton would be similar TO that now IN
force for the entire body Of the church
as exercised at the triennial conven-
ton.
Decades back the church was reach
ing out toward an organization in prov.
inces. and years ago an article was IN.
troduced into the constitution which
permits the organization. The project
has been violently opposed in this
session OF the general convention, how
ever.
DIoCHSES MAY REFUSE.
Charles Andrews, formerly chief
justice OF the court of appeals in New
York, declared that dioceses could not
be compelled 20 connect themselves
with the new provinces. This gave the
convention pause, until Charles g.
Saunders, secretary OF Tie joint com.
mission on provinces, sa d that this
was 80, but there was no chance OF
any diocese refusing TO do such a
thing, because the same question had
come up IN the organization of depart
ments.
Frank L. Stetsoo Of this city gave
constitutional explanation which
seemed to set the minds of the con,
yeGtion at rest as far as the validity
Of the proposed canon was concerned
Violent and prolonged as the oppo
sition 20 the canon had been, the vot
ing in favor Of II was practically unan
imous.
The second section of the canon
which was passed by viva voce, was
slightly modified TO permit. the prov
inces 10 apportion representation, as
there was objection to Porto Rico hav
ing the same synodical rights anC
privileges as New York. The remain
