WHY FAT RETURNS IF
 TAKEN OFF BY EXERCISE

Since fat is the result of particu- larly easy assimilation of food, which too readily turns into fatty substances. the exercise for reduction must be very vigorous to tear down the tis- sues and as rapidly as exercise builds a larger muscular foundation, more fat is developed. For the early part of the time which you are exercising fesh is turned into muscle. but the action of the stomach being unchanged and the flesh being more easily de- Yeloped than muscle. 1t is not long until the exercise has increased tue weight. Of late years, the slender form is possible without making one self miserable by dieting or indulgihg in violent exercises to reduce fat.
 Make up and take this simple re- ducer and your weight will soon be just where you want it. Dissolve { ounces parnotis (which every good druggist has in his store) in 1h pints hot water; when it cools strain and take a tablespoonful before meals. This parnotis reducer acts gently, is quite harmless and entirely satisfac tory results are quickly attained. Ii leaves thA a--ah GfTa and vsl zasuidsd

WORK OF THE UNITED STATES FOREST SERVICE
1 Description Given at White Mountains Forestry Conference.

Gorham, N H, July 22.-A descrip- ton of the progress of the work of the United States forest service in the new White mountains reservation, by ]. St. J. Benedict, forester in charge. was on the programme at today's ses- sion of the White Mountains Forestry conference Prof James W. Tourney of the Yale Forest school, had pre- pared a paper or Forest Planting in New England As An Investment.
 In his paper Prof. Tourney ef1apha- sized the need of specializing in the species of trees which have an estab- lished market for their lumber, chief ly white and red pine. He said that only a small part of the waste and unused lands of New England met all the requirements for a high grade individual investment when planted for lumber raising, and that such planting if done at all should be done by the state or the community. He declared that governmental and com munal forests exercised a beneficial influence on the industrial. economic and social life of the community

T was in the drug business six years in Columbus, Ohio, and was among the unfortunates in that great disastrous flood of the West Side, year ago last March. Nearly all of the one hundred that perished in that flood were friends or patrons.
 Through cold and exposure and improper food during the food, was taken with appendicitis and acute in- testinal catarrh. In June and July nay life was despaired of, but recov- cred sufficiently to be up and around My bowels seemed paralyzed. Was compelled to use injections once or twice a day. Could eat no solid food
 '"The first of last December I de- cided to try Perut1a. My bowels began to move at once. without the use of injection. Peristaltic action began to take place, and have not used an injection since. My appetite improved and very soon solid foods could be taken. In two months time I gained IS pounds. Now I am heavier than ever was before"

NEW LoNDoN's OLD TOWN MILL. It Is Still in the Field After 260 Years and Grinding Out Quite a Bit of Grain,

To be accustomed to a thing is to forget, very often its uniqueness and
 its attraction, says a New London writer. Those who have always been used to seeing the Old Town mill hold It as an accepted historic tradition, with it's appropriate place in the guide books of the city, and it is left to the summer visitor, the sightseeing tourist the seeker of ancient lore, or the lover of natural beauty to appreciate the place..
 1850 is the date of erection, a date which means scarcely settled coun- try. newly titled soil, and abundant Indians. Twenty three years ago the Winthrop house was still standing on the site of the present Winthrop school. But while the house was razsd the mill was preserved, for not it's attraction as a historic curio alone has kept~it from destruction. Since it's beginning the mill has been in active use and today the great wheel of IS feet in diameter daily grinds the grain in the same spot as was done 269 years ago.
 Of course the wood of the building
 has been frequently replaced: for in
 stance. the roofing. porch and rafters
 are no longer the original but the
 huge door posts and supporting beams are hand hewn are still the same. The
 present wheel has been in use nine years. is in itself masterpiece of wheel making The iron rods which hold the buckets in the center each pass through the axle of the main shaft. The wheel is of the overshot sort and is of Is horsepower. Most of the grain ground at the mill rye. barley, wheat and corn is shipped from Chicago and is disposed of To- cally. shipment of 30 carloads of grain was sold to one dealer alone in 1 Groton during the past year Hay and straw are also handled. while shavings from the lumber yards on the river | are baled and shipped as bedding and road covering. such as used on the paths of Riverside park. Sawdust is also sold to the local meat market and groceries
 That the tiny mill is not merely a | tradition Is shown by the fact that 1 the business is carried on in compe- ! titfon with three other wholesale and retail dealers in New London The land and building is owned by the | city. but the business itself, which is l at present for sale, has been owned l for 25 years by George E. Smith. Al | this time of the year from 10 to 1ot l visitors inspect the ancient mill daily and score or so of automobile par 1 ties arrive each day and the appre-
 citation of the venerable structure and i the shady glen with it's splendid elms
 is heartily expressed.
