If you are too fat and want TO
reduce your weight ] 3 or 20
pounds, don't starve and weaken
your system, or think you must
always be laughed at on account
of your fat. but so to any good
druggist and get ooX of oil of
KOrein capsules. take one after
each meal and one before retir-
ing at night.
Weigh yourself once a week
and note what a pleasant and
reliable method this is for re-
moving superfiuOus fat from any
part of the body.
1t costs little. is absolutely
harmless and am sure a weeks

Several young boys who were rabbit
hunting in the swamps of Wolf creek

EUFAULA

Eufaula, January 6.-(Special 1.-The
people in the western portion of the
county are seeking to have the Bar
bour county circuit court hold a ses-
sion at Clio in the fall and spring as
VI ell as at Clayton and Eufaula, the lat
ter of which is the county site. They
make the claim that Clio should have
q semi-annual session of the court on
the same grounds as Clayton, namely,
that the size of the county makes 1t
expensive both in time and money for
those called upon to attend court to
go to Clayton, which Is 16 miles dis
tant. AS 1t is now there is line di-
viding Barbour county on the east side
of which people attend court at Eu-
faula and on the western side at Clay
ton. A similar line would be drawn
between Clayton and Clio with the same
provisions.
The people of Clio and vicinity are
making their wants known in the form
of a petition which is being circulated
readily signed. This petition will be
presented to the Legislature by one of
Barbour county's representatives at the
coming session.
The building committee of the First
Methodist Episcopal church has been
comforting with architects and build

as unsafe.

Another thing" Mr.. Davis went on to
say. the much neglected left hand is one
of the greatest defects in modern pianis1n.
The left hand should be developed tech
nically, just like the right hand. In de-
veloping the right hand the right side of
the brain alone is developed, and this
should be balanced by the development of
the left hand, which in turn develops the
left side of the brain.'
"Of recent years SO much attention has
been given to tone that technique in a
measure has been neglected,"I suggested.
Tone Is one of the many essentials
in piano work." Mr.. Davis said. at takes
50 much to make the perfect pianist so
many of the smaller things that go to
make the perfect whole. I believe in q
broad musical education along all lines.
When people ask me who my favorite
composers are, / say l haven't any. l
think the ability to play them all. to ap-
preciate them all, is much broader,

cause music has been taught like any
other branch of academic or collegiate
work. 1t is in the blood, in other words.
A musical atmosphere can be created. not

that table linen that has become yellow
with age may be whitened by boiling in
