French Beauties
All Slender

In Paris (the city of the worlds
most beautiful women) the first thing
the tourist notes when studying the
beautiful native women is the absence
of plumpness or flesh. They are al
ways slender and graceful and so &C.
tive and attractive. Their nervous,
emotional temperament of course af
fects somewhat their physique, but
most Of them keep up a continual
fight against increase of weight. One
of the many good fat preventives and
cures is easily made at home by mix
ing ounces parnotis (all good drug
gists carry this) with 1zs pines hot
water. When cool strain and take 1
tablespoonful before meals until
weight is just where you want it. This
is a safe. harmless method of fat-re-
duction and does not depend on diet
ing or unusual exercising. The parno-
tbs treatment is gentle in action and
restores the symmetrical lines to the
figure.

WILSON TO TAKE STUMP.
President Expects to Be Very Pussy
in OctOber-Will Defend Party
Policies,

Washington, July 2S.-Presitent
Wilson will go upon the stump in de-
tense Of his policies and incidentally
bring before the attention of the peo-
pie the virtues of those Democratic
candidates for the Senate and House,
whose territory is looked upon as
being doubtful.
This hint was dropped by the Pres
i&ent himself yesterday to number
Of callers at the White House. A. Z.
Rodgers, who called to extend The
President an invitation to attend the
pure food convention az Boston, Oc-
tober S to 81, was Informed that the
President Expected to be very busy
during October Other callers re-
ceived similar assurances.
This is interpreted as meaning but
one thing-that the President will
go upon the stump during that month
and will take an active part in the
campaign. This being true, there is
little doubt but that he will make
two or possibly three speeches in
Pennsylvania for his friend, A. Mitch
ell Palmer, who Of late has been a
most frequent caller at the Execu-
tive office.
New York would also be included
in itinerary of the Presidential trip.
The big majority of these Con-
gressmen have stood loyalty by the
President in his tariff, his currency
and his antitrust program, and the
President believes that when the peo-
iple in New York and othcr States
get all the facts corceruinE thcse
measures that they viii support Tie
candidates of his party.
He has accepted complete response
bility for the action of Congress in
it's support of these measures and hr
intends to take the stump in the Dc
Tense of those who have remained
faithful to him.
The President lis hopeful that Con
gress will adjourn by September. 80
that he viii be able to spend n few
weeks at Cornish before cntcria"
actively into the fall campaign.

W0man's Duty to Herself.

Every woman owes it to herself to
keep in good health. No one can rea-
sonably be expected to maintain a
cheerful disposition when half sick.
Indigestion and constipation are two
of the most common ills to which
women are subject and fortunately
are easily cured. Mrs. H. c. Getty,
Indiana, Pa writes: "Iast summer
I was advised by a friend to try
Chamberlain's Tablets for indigestion
and constipation. This medicine not
only cured me of these disorders, but
toned up my whole system so that
my health has been better than for
years since taking them" For sale
