backs, habby cheeks are among
these.
Then there are the degenerative
changes in the internal glands which
cause fat to pile up in middle life and
after typhoid fever or similar infec-
tious maladies.
All kinds of body fat, says Dr.
Lyon, point definitely to a connection
with fat-causing troubles. No abso-
lutely perfect or physically normal
person can be fat. and every fat man,
woman or child has some physiology
cal defect, very commonly In the
thyroid, pituitary or some other
gland.
All adipose states of the human
body are thought by DR.. Lyon to be
almost identical although they may
each seem to be distinct conditions.
This prevalence OF common features
among all fat people can be traced
to the real underlying basis Of fiat
ness"

True enough, certain foods such as
sweets, oils, creams and greases,
may all cause temporary fatness,
but the actual source of permanent
obesity, says DR.. Lyon, is in the
thyroid and pituitary glands, with all
the other internal glands under sus-
picion.
Post norton and pathological
studies prove this. Just as every
body has touch of tuberculosis in
them, so every fat man has some
thing wrong with one or more of mis-
glands.
Fat that seems to be inherited or
run in families" really does not.
But the defects in the pineal, pitui-
tary, thyroid or other glands respon-
sible for this hereditary" fat, passes
from one generation to another.
The fact that certain glands are
particularly susceptible to these dis
orders explains why there are five
fat married women to svery thin
man. 1t also makes clear why
women usually remain thin as long

as they do not become mothers Of
children.
AS has been said, the thyroid
causes fairness when out of order. And
adiposity is by no means the only
afflietlon for which the blame can
be laid on this little gland which
lies hidden away behind the mouth.
The thyroid is one of what are
known as the body's blind ductless
glands. Whatever 1t secretes passes
directly into the blood and produces
surprising effects on various parts of
the body.
When a persons thyroid becomes
greatly enlarged 1t causes the dis
ease known as goitre.
Disorders of the thyroid are also
thought to be responsible for bad
teeth. The secretion of the thyroid
seems to supply what serves as NOR
tar for the teeth and when the gland
is out of order the teeth crumble
away just as a wall does when poor
or insufficient mortar has been used
to hold the arches in place.

Hallmark Store.

In the United States there are 10000
retail jewelers.. OF these at least 2, 500,
whether in large or small cities or towns,
conduct their business on the same plan.
They are generally referred to as the
best jewellers. Their success is the
result OF honest representation and fair
dealing. In January, 1914. forty-two
of these jewellers met in Chicago to con-
slider plan for cooperative movement
that would unite the power and prestige
of these 1900 stores. They formed the
United Jewellers, Inc. incorporated I'M
der the laws OF the State of New York
with an authorized capital OF 81 500, 900.
The list OF jewelers. who were invited to
buy stock and become partners in this
company was carefully prepared and
approved by a board OF directors who
are themselves retail jewellers. Each
individual was approved not only for
the financial responsibility but for his
integrity and standing as citizen.
The purpose Of the company is to
produce a general line Of merchandise
for every department Of the retail jew
elry store under special trademark.
In other words, the retailer becomes
his own manufacturer. Selling cost and
manufacturing cost are reduced to a
minimum and he has a direct super
vision Of quality and workmanship.
The natural result is highest quality
merchandise at no more cost than lower
grades distributed in the ordinary way.
The United Jewellers, Inc, have adopt
ed as their trademark the word Hall
mark, 7" and the stores OF the stock
holders are known as Hallmark stores.
There is but one Hallmark store in any
city or town and Hallmark merchan-
disc is for sale only in the stores of the
stockholders. The company's main
office is in New York City where COM
petent hands study the market for new
ideas and improved manufacturing iacil-
tiles.
1t will not be long before there will
be Hallmark store in every city and
town in the United States. Already the
leading jewellers in several hundred cities
have joined this great cooperative move
ment. The volume of business done by
the jewellers already enrolled amounts
to many millions of dollars. The total
sales OF the $500 stores amount to over
$50, 900, 600 annually. This will give
you some idea Of the producing power
