Dodd CASTOR was interviewed out
in California, and the interview was,
/ of course. about prohibition in Kansas.
Out on the coast they never ask the
kansan for interviews about anything
but weather, graSShoppers and prohi-
bitfon. AS weather and grasshoppers
are out of season, the question was
naturally one CT prohibition. Kansas
! has other things beside weather,
grasshoppers and prohibition, but the
coast interviewers are skilled in pre-
venting any mention thereof.
Hon. Dodd's interview has reached
this city-through newspaper ex-
changes, to be sure, and from it one
might gather that the case of the
mot unfriendly Justice and other
piffle of that period is still fresh in
his memory. AS to his estimate of
the number of quarts consumed in our
arid village, we feel that he has over
estimated by at least three quarts.

This would have been sad news for
the fat woman a year ago. She would
have had TO try dieting or exercise.
Nowadays, however, the woman who is
too fat for the styles goes to a druggist
and gets a case of Marmola Prescrip-
ton Tablets, one of which she takes
after each meal and at bedtime, and
so reduces her superiuous flesh quickly.
These tablets, being made in accord
ance with the famous prescription, are
perfectly harmless, and they are. also,
the most economical preparation a per
son can buy. for they cost only 20 cents
a large case one of which is frequently
enough to start a person losing fat the
rate of II to IL ounces a day. Pretty
nearly every druggist keeps this tablet
in stock, but should yours be sold out
you can easily obtain case by sending
