Fat Folks May
Now Become
Slim Quickly
Be Moderate in Your Diet, Breath
- Deeply, and Take Tassco.

Fat persons, particularly those from
10 to 80 pounds above normal weight,
will be interested to learn that they
may easily reduce their weight with
out starvation diet or tiresome exer-
else.
This can best be done by being mod
crate in your diet, so that you will not
over-tax your assimilative organs, by
getting plenty of fresh air, by brea th-
ing deeply and by taking tassco four
times day.
Tassco may be obtained from any
good druggist in 5-grain tablets; take
one after each meal and one before re-
firing at night. They cost little, are
bsolutely harmless, are pleasant to
take and are designed to reduce fatty
accumulations in the system wherever
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 buoyant
feeling take possession of your whole
being.
Every person who is 10 to 20 pounds
over normal weight should sure y give
this treatment trial. You will prob
ably find that it is just what you
need.

purity is purity, righteousness is
Righteousness and these two together
are no harm, but to take another
mans wife and tell her its no harm
causes death. For in Romans, 9Th
chapter, 23rd verse, says: For the
wages of sin is death; but the gift
of God is esternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
If we have no respect for other
homes, how can we demand respect
for our own. A mans duty is to sup
PIT his own home and if it takes
every Denny Of his, why should others
worry. He is only doing what he
should. His love is to admire his own

interfere with family love. His re-

WAGES HIGH But
WO0DSMEN SCARCE

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 15.-North-
ern lumber men forecast a serious
labor shortage in the woods this fall
and next winter and it is feared that
the cutting of logs will be greatly
handicapped for lack Of men. Fewer
men are available at this time than
for many years.
In the past there have been hun
dreds o. men coming to the Head of
the Lakes right after the harvest in
the Dakotas, but this year very few
are returning. Many have joined
the forestry battalons for overseas
service Hundreds of the best woods
men have volunteered for military
service
The wage scale is now the highest
ever known. Good men in the woods
can get $45 to S55 month.
