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 tina
they may easily reduce their weigh
without starvation diet or tiresome
exercise.
This can best be done by being
moderate in your diet, so that you will
not over-tax your assimilative organs
by getting plenty of fresh air by
breathing deeply and by taking tasscc
four times a day.
Tassco may be obtained from
any good drug store in 5-grain tab
lets take one after each meal and
one before retiring at night. They
cost little, and are absolutely harm
less, are pleasant to take and are de-
signed 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 a lighter and more bouyant
feeling take possession of your whole
being.
Every person who is 10 or 20
pounds over normal weight should
surely give this treatment trial.
You will probably find that it is just
what you need.

WEAR THOSE SHOES
r THAT TORTURED YOU
Cincinnati authority tells how to
dry up a corn so it
lifts out.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly On a
tender, aching corn stops soreness at
once and soon the corn loosens so 1T
can be lifted out root and all, without
pain. .. ...
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store, but
is sufficient to take off every hard or
soft corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to inf1ame or even irritate the sur
rounding tissue or skin.

SPOUT STEAM, NOT WATER
General Idea Concerning Action Of
Whales May Easily Be Proved
to Be Erroneous.

Since a whale breathes air. when it
is below the surface the breath must
be held, for if the water should be
taken into the lungs the animal
would drown. Thus as soon as a
cetacean comes to the surface its
breath is expelled and a fresh sup
ply inhaled before it again goes
down.
The breath which has been held in
the lungs for a considerable time I'M
der pressure is highly heated, and
as it is forcibly expelled into the
colder outer air, it c~ondenses, form
ing a column of steam. A similar
effect may be produced by any per-
son if on a frosty morning the breath
is suddenly blown from the mouth.
That whales spout out of the blow
holes water which has been taken in
through the mouth is probably more
widely believed than any other pop
ular mi%sconception. AS a matter of
fact such a performance would be
impossible because a whales nostrils
do not open into the back Of the
mouth, as do those of a man, and the
animal is not able to 'Fbreathe
through its mouth as can ordinary
land mammals.-Roy Chapman An
drews, in New York Independent.

"MovIEs" FOR LECTURES.

In Illustrating a lecture in which
armor plate and armor piercing pro-
j~ectiles were discussed not long ago
at the British Institution of Mechan-
ical Engineers, an interesting en-
ployment was made of motion pic
lures.
A number of drawings in which
a shell was shown leaving a gun,
hitting a plate of armor, the cap then
breaking into pieces, the ~proiectile
passing through the metal protection
and subsequently, decorating, were
filmed.
The picture when projected on a
screen showed graphically what orig
inal photographs could not have por-
trayed. The drawings had been care
fully executed and the resulting eff
feet was good.

USEFUL m MEDICAL WORK
Fluid That Makee the Body Transpar-
ent ls a Discovery Considered
Of Great Value.

A new method of giving medical
students instruction which, it is said,
will largely obviate the necessity of
dissection, will be put into practice
at the Hahnemann Medical college,
Philadelphia, at the beginning of the
next term.
Physicians and surgeons connected
with the department of anatomy are
now perfecting the process, which
originate. through the recent discov-
cry by a French scientist of a fluid
by the use of which the human body
can be rendered transparent.
The fluid, which is composed of
several oils, turns the flesh into a sort
of transparent jelly when injected,
enabling the student to study the
veins, muscles, and bones far better,
it is asserted, than if they restored
to the ~dissecting knife. 1t is said
to be one of the most valuable dis
coveries in medical science of late
years.

MUCH COTTON IN BIG SHELLS
Enormous Amount of Material Is
Needed In the Operation Of
European BeIIigerents.

Every shot fired from one of the
ffteen-inch guns of the British bat
tleship Queen Elizabeth, or n of
the German or Austrian seventeen
inch mortars, means the expenditure
of 400 pounds of raw cotton. Cot
ton is one of the basic ingredients
of all high explosives. No substi-
tute can or has been found, although
German chemists are exerting the ut
most of their ingenuity to provide
something that will take the place of
the cotton boil.
1t has been estimated that 1000
tons of raw cotton are shot away ev-
cry day in the world war by the Ger
man and Austrian armies. The
charge for a German seventeen-inch
howitzer shell, 400 pounds, would
provide ammunition for 400 shots
from a field gun or $4,000 rounds
from an army rife.
