Fa Folks May
Now Become
Slim Quickly
Be Moderate in Your Diet, Breathe
Deeply, and Take Tassco.

Fat persons, particularly those
from 10 to 30 pounds above normal
weight will be interested to learn
that they may easily reduce their
weight without starvation diet or tire
some exercise.
This can best be done by being
moderate in your diet that you will
not over-tax you assimilative organs,
by getting plenty of fresh air, by
breathing deeply and by taking tassco
four times a day.
Tassco may be obtained from any
druggist in 5-grain tablets, take one
after each meal and one before retir-
ing at night. They cost little, are abb
solutely harmless, are pleasant to
take and are designed to reduce fatty
accumulations in the system, where
ever located.
A few days treatment should show
a noticeable reduction in weight, the
flesh should become firm, the skin
smooth and the general health i'm
proved, in fact your footsteps should
even become lighter, your work seem
easier and lighter and more bouyant
feeling take possession of your whole
being.
Every person from 10 to 20 pounds
over normal weight should surely give
this treatment a trial. You will
probably find that it is just what you
need.-adv.

MYSTERY OF FREELY
BATTLES SCIENCE

There are three different kinds Of
frehy in the United States, all of
which emit a peculiar, bluish-green
li0ht- The female of a South Ameri-
cen species carries red light along
tie sides. For this reason it is
known as the railway beetle"
Everybody has wondered at some
6ne or other how the FREELY produces
HIS light, what kind of fuel he burns
and how he burns it. Scientists have
nade a study of these insects but
they have not yet learned enough
shout them to answer these questions
suthoritatively. They are all agreed,
though, that the light, however pro-
auced or whatever it's nature, is the
nost efficient known for it is pure
lixht without waste; there is no heat,
6ere are no chemical rays
So men of science believe that
TIE firefiy's glow is used by him in
courting his lady love. Others are OF
he opinion that the light serves as a
danger signal, giving warning of the
approach of bats and other enemies.
Certain bacteria emit light, mush-
rooms which grow on wood give
forth a glow and light is observed on
certain occasions radiating from pop
ples, marigolds and other flowers. The
light in these instances is believed to
bc similar to "foxfire," phosphores-
cent glow resulting from decomposi-
ton.
The light of the FREELY is of an en-
tixely different nature. Some investi-
gators now believe that the flashes it
gives off are produced by its breath
ING which causes the oxidation of
certain fats and oils. The light-mak-
ing apparatus, these scientists say,
consists Of plate of ploygonal cells
together with the breathing system
communicating with them. These cells
secrete oils and fats which are burn
ed when the insect draws in oxygen
II breathing.
The larvae of the firefiies are able
to produce glow and this has led
some to mistake them for glowworms
h reality there are no real glow
worms in the United States. The
source of the glow in immature fire
lies is not known exactly but it is
believed that some of the minute
glowing organism of the female in
sect may adhere to the young, enab-
hing them to give forth light of their
oWn.

Instead Of wedding rings made of
gold, war-brides in England are wear
ing rings Of iron, lead or other cheap
metal. If it happens that the bride
groom has been wounded and the bull
let or piece of shrapnel has been pre-
served, a ring is often made from 1t
which the bride wears with pride.
Gold wedding presents are very rare;
it is considered unpatriotic to give
presents of great intrinsic calue.
