HOW FAT FOLKS
REDUCE WEIGHT
Many Are Losing Several
Pounds a Month.

Fat persons, particularly those
from ten TO sixty pounds above nor
NAL weight will be interested TO
learn that they may reduce their
weight without starvation diet or
tircsome exercise.
This can best be done by getting
plenty of fresh air. by breathing
deeply and by taking a few drops
OF oil OF korein four times day,
also in following the other simple
rules that come with the box
oil OF korein may DO obtained
from any good druggist in capsule
form. Even a few days treatment
is likely 10 show n pleasing reduction
in weight. The step becomes lighter,
the flesh more firm. the skin
smoother in appearance; work seems
easier and n more buoyant feeling
takes possession of the whole body
and mind as superfluous. unhealthy
fat disappears.
If you are overstout and have tried
various methods OF fat reduction in
vain you may now be very thankfus
at having found n genuine system.

as much as a lace edge since she left
college.
Still. her academic soul had to con-
fess to a plebeian partiality for pink.
She noticed that the waitress who
brought her soup had thin line Of
color trickling across her chest. where
the V of her collar opened. She saw
with some envy. that a wide, glowing
band shone thru the thin waist of the
art student hoarder-a girl who talked
career and worked at filtration.
"A few yards of pink ribbon would
cost only a few cents" she reflected.
After dessert. she varied her even
ing constitutional by stopping at the
corner notion store. To be perfectly
frank, her purchase was not prompted
by Geraldine's theory that romantic
results follow any indulgence in sar-
torial splendor. When "A woman wears
plain scallops and hens and substi-
tutes tape for baby ribbons; when she
stops saying Lingerie, please" and
buys just underwear Cupid would have
to use money bait in order to lure her
into-his trap.
After some hesitation, Anne pulled
the tape from corset cover she was
planning to wear the next morning.
But Anne like, she did not throw it
away but carefully rolled it up and
put IL away. a rosy wisp of pink was
threaded thru the embroidery where
the tape had been. She tied coquettish
bows at the shoulders; then tried it on
with both gas jets turned high. Her
satisfied eyes ignored long eXpanses of
wooden apparel which would have
aroused the scorn of Geraldine. She
fell asleep smiling.
At 6:15, an alarm clock performed
its painful duty. Instantly the girl
turned her face toward the chair
where the new ribbon ends fluttered
impudently in the morning breeze. \
flood of sober daylight fell across the
corset cover. Anne lifted her head
from the pollow to stare at II with
round and startled eyes.
The bows were as dainty as ever
Eut now they looked positively immora,
contrasted with the aggressively util-
itarian garment they adorned The
coarseness OF cotton chosen for its
enduring qualities seemed exaggerated.
The stiff embroidery thru which the
band was drawn was clumsy and iron
like. Grim respectability was the
keynote OF the whole creation. The
climax Of its character was a button,

Anne considered. In her trunk was
q sheer bit of never-worn whiteness
that would grace any ribbon. She
could wear it-this oue-aud then beg

tenderness. But why indulge herself in
an elegance that must he only tenn

THE BUTCHER OF BERLIN

Most kindly srs, good gentlemen,
Well may we feel so blithe and gay,
The kaiser, emperor and king,
Has deigned to sup with us this day:
And so. good friends, most gracious
vons,
Please fill your glasses TO the brim,
And drink to him-who's more than
king,
To Bil-the Butcher of Berlin.
The kaiser tarries but space.
While here some medals will bestow,
Hon some most heroic souls
This one he gives to Won Mostlow:
This gallant knight was first to shell,
An humble church, and all within
Where women prayed; once more we
drink
To Bill-the Butcher OF Berlin.
To this brave Won upon my right,
Who boldly dropped a deadly shell
Upon green whore children played
A cross inscribed: Fellow OF He'll"
Like TO this knight. who sank ship.
Saw women drown-with qulp and
grin
Once more drink heartily to him,
To Bill-the Butcher OF Berlin.
And last and best. this gallant one.
Who sits next TO the kaiser king,
His majesty bids me to state,
He gives to him n royal ring:
He bade his soldiers soil the maids
OF France and Belgium; drink to
him
Who bears his honors modestly-
And Bill-the Butcher OF Berlin.
Our noble Lord must needs make haste
And 60 his way, he has but learned
There Is n certain Red Cross inn,
Where wounded are-that must be
burned.
But ere he goes he deigns to say
That He and God this war will win,
And permits all to drink the health,
OF Bill--the Butcher OF Berlin.
