New System of
Fat Reduction

Here's a new way for all fat people
to laugh together at that old bugaboo
The saying tnat there ts
nothing new under the sun" does not
now apply to. fat people any more
Here is something new for them
new sensation, a new pleasure, a new
and graceful figure, easily. found bv
any one who is passing beyond the
limits Of slimness. Every one has
heard Of the Marmola Presentation: thai
harmless combination. of fat-defyine
elements which has become known as
the most successful Of all reducing
treatments. Now there comes anotber
idea-the idea of condensing these
same pure, harmless ingredients into a
pleasant little tat.et. Taken after
eating and at bedtime, they help the
stomach to dispose Of all the fattv
foods, converting them into COMPACT
solid flesh. muscle and energy, with
out dieting or exercise. Marrnola Pre-
scription Tablets regulate the entire
system--do for you what bodily exer-
tton and self-denial cannot do, and
the fat, once routed, is gone for good.
You can prove all this at q triflfnr
cost. Marmola Prescription Tablets
are sold by all druggists or sent post
paid by the Marmola Co., S64 wood

New York. March 17.-When Adam
Heinlein. proprietor of a Brooklyn cafe,
heard about Mexican wildcats in letters
from his soldier friends on the border,
he wrote to them:
Bring one Of them fellows home with
you. He'd make a good sparring part
ner for my cat Tige."

eral OF the boys" toted a big box into
Heinlein's emporium.

Vogler, of Company K, their spokesman.
Hes the widest cat from the widest
wilderness in Mexico"
Amt that great" exclaimed Pro-
prietor Heinlein, who took the Grated
cat in the back room.
All day the wildcat had many visitors.
A particularly curious one, not satisfied
with a peep through the Stats, pried the
top Stats from the box and said:
Here, pussy, pussy"'
What happened next Is told in many
versions. But an hour later Heinlein
was still sweeping the fragments Of glass
from his wrecked ship and Tige was atop
the ice box. The customers had fed.

Wednesday evening the members of the First Spiritual union of this city were delightfully."- entertained by the Helping Hands society, the energetic little band of tireless workers who form the auxiliary society of the un- ion.

King Hilarity held full sway, the evening passed all too quickly, wei ;% ly fantastic creatures mingled with the guests and created no end of fun. Elk ceptionally original decorations adorn- ed the vestry, and all took the trip to see the kaisers finish. after indulging il. games, all of a nature to properly lead up to such spectacle.
 German engagement rings and hy- phenated ink, better known as dough- nuts and coffee. formed the menu, with dainty confections afterwards. This was a most suspicious opening for the series of monthly socials to be given to the members of the society and their friends. which will take the place of the regular suppres given by this society.
