would stop the wheels of industry
and throw people out of employ
ment, but the kind of thrift that
means the absolute elimination of
waste.
October IA, has been designated
as the day for the beginning of a

trenches. 1t is a big push for the
enrolment of women for food con-
servation through the pledge card
system. And what must be ac-
complished? It is this: Every
person in America must reduce the
consumption of wheat flour one
pound a week; they must eliminate
the consumption of two ounces of
fat; 7 ounces of sugar and Z
unces of meat per week. In addi-
tion TO which, milk and butter
must be used without waste.
Not much of a sacrifice for each
of us, IS it?
And yet, if each of us eliminates
this small amount from our diet
we can supply the deficiency of our
allies God and have enough for
ourselves.

Why Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce

The answer of most fat people is
that it is too hard, too troublesome
and too dangerous to force the weight
down. However, in Marmola Prescrip-
ton Tablets, all these difficulties are
overcome. They are absolutely harm
less, entail no dieting or exercise, and
have the added advantage of cheap
ness. A large case is sold by druggists
at Use. Or if preferable, they can be
obtained by sending price direct to
the Marmola Co., 1854 Woodward Ave,
Detroit, Mich. Now that you know this
you have no excuse for being too fat,
but can reduce two three or four
pounds a week without fear of bad af-
ter effects.
