Rome.
In the midst of the general surprise
occasioned by this new order of
things, no secret is made that at least
amongst the members Of the BLACK
world the greatest portion Of the
surprise comes from the fact that
Pope Plus should have been respons-
tbe for this change. The election of
Pope Plus, a man Of peasant origin,
has ever been resented by the noble
families of the Roman patriciate.
From the very moment Of his elevation
they had more than presentment
that ne would be the death teller Of
all that once brillian+ phase of vatican
life in which they had participated
and which in fact had been supported
to the last degree by Pope Leo XIII,
who himself was of noble origin.
This fear of the noble families
found further confirmation, when Pope
Plus, following his coronation. failed
to confer titles Of nobility in his peas
ant brothers and sisters, as ne not
only had a right to do. but as vatican
tradition said he should do. Still
later, his opening of the ranks of the
noble guards to practically everyone
and anyone who had even smatter
ing of noble blood in them, was an
awful blow to the position of The
blacks"

The strenuous exercise of the tango

Does Tango
Reduce Flesh?

The violent movements Of the mod
ern dances naturally tend to keep
flesh down, but they also tend to put
an extra strain upon the vital organs,
especially the heart, and SO may dam
age the health more than assist it.
Besides, many people do not dance.
some people do not believe in dancing,
and few people can afford the time to
dance enough to really accomplish
much reduction. A better way to dis
solve fatty tissue easily and quickly
without dieting is by taking the par
motifs treatment, made at home as fol-
lows: Pit 4 ounces parnotis from

ter and strain when cool. Take q
tablespoonful before meals until
weight is where you want it. No
harm results from the use OF tie
parnotis treatment. and the flesh is
left solid and the skin soft and
