Splendid Way 70
Reduce Your Weight

There is perhaps no one thing that
so plainly shows the passing OF our
youth as the horrible tendency to put
on too much weight after we have
reached the age of 25 or 80 years.
However young our faces may appear,
the sagging, fiabby figure and forty
inch waist gives us away"
The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert the food
we eat into fat because there is not
enough oxygen in the blood to pro-
duce a proper combustion to destroy
the excess fatty tissue. Fat people
will be pleased to learn of simple
home method that is wonderfully eff
ficient in reducing weight, quickly
and easily without a starving diet,
violent massage or strenuous exer-
else. Go to any, drug store and get
a box of Phynola; take five grains
after each meal and at bed time. This
treatment will often give quick re-
lief from oYerburdening fat Phy-
nola taken at meal time assists the
stomach in giving you the benefit OF
the food you eat; at the same time
dissolves the fatty tissue from any
part of the body where there is exces-
sive fat. BY this method many have
reduced their weight pound a day
and there is no flabbiness left. Gorgas.

WIRE REMOVAL
MOVES SWIFTLY
Walnut Street Should Be
Clear by End of the
Month

All overhead wires and poles of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, in Walnut street
from the river to the eastern city
line and beyond TO Penbrook should
re moved by the last of August, City
Electrician Clark E. Diehl said to-
day.
Work on the removal of the over
head lines has been started and
many of the wires and some of the
poles are down already. Cable lines
from Court and Walnut streets to
the river have been placed by the
company and will be connected soon
so that the overhead system between
those points can be taken down
also in the near future.
Removal of city wires and poles
in the downtown district probably
will be delayed a few weeks because
of the work caused by the change
of police headquarters, necessitating
moving the fire and police alarm
systems. Cable for these lines has
been shipped from Wilkes-Barre
and will be received here in a few
days.
The Harrisburg Light and Power
company will be in a position to take
down many poles and overhead wires
also this month, Mr.. Diehl said and
may start the work soon.

that it was time to determine the
cause of the poor service, and when
vote was taken on the resolution
directing Mr.. Diehl to present de-
tailed report, it passed unanimously.
The commissioners accepted an
invitation from the War Camp Com
munity Service to participate in the
program to be given at the Island

tainment.

Coal Conservation Plan

In a recent test made on several
of the express runs on the Reading
1t was found that on the trip Potts.
Vile to Philadelphia, that at least
one and one-half tons of fuel were
saved compared with the amount
used previously. The saving of fuel
is regarded as a most important fac
tor on the railroads. There was a
time when the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company paid the enginemen
and fremen banus. Each locomotive
was allowed a certain amount of coal
to make a trip. All saved from that
allowance was weighed and the
amount that it would cost divided as
stated. The bonus system was never
adopted on the Reading.

COWMAN, LIQUOR, TWO
TRIALS AND Is DAYS

Minneapolis Tribune: Gilbert Olson,
a six-foot cowman from Plentywood,
Mont, saw the courthouse go round
and was the central figure at two
trials within II hours. All it cost
him was 500 and IS days in the
workhouse.
Olson has been in Minneapolis
about two weeks. Not long after
July l he met some men who sold
him at divers times liquor banned by
law. He was arrested yesterday on
a drunkenness charge and sent to the
city Jail.
Held on Vagrancy Charges
Jail prisoners have the freedom of
the Jail corridor at certain hours. Last
night the corridor during the free
hour had among it's occupants not
only Olson but, besides others, Nate
Davis, self-admitted pool room con-
ductor, temporarily out of business,
and Robert Ladue, self-admitted ac-
tor, temporarily off the stage. Davis
and Ladue had been arrested on va
grancy charges.
The court house was spinning fair
ly rapidly for Olson, and Davis OBJ
served it. He at once convened a
court, toow the bench himself, ap-
pointed other prisoners, bailiffs and
jury and proceeded to try Olson for
drunkenness. He was found guilty
sentenced to pay a SO fine. He
paid it, to Davis. Then Davis told
him if he would pay another $40 the
Jail doors would be opened to him
and he might get out. The story is
that he paid the SO. Davis advised
him to wait until the others had gone
to slep. Olson waited, fell asleep
ing.
Davis and Ladue were called today
before Judge C. L. Smith in NUM-
cipal court before Olson. They per-
suaded the Judge that they were de-
serving citizens but victims of hard
luck, and the judge dismissed charges
against them. They left the court
room.
Then Olson Comes Up
Olson came up soon after. He
pleaded guilty to drunkenness and
drew Is days in the workhouse. 1t
astonished him. Hadn't he bought
immunity from such incarceration
The Plentywood, Mont, man re-
monstrated with tie court. Was it
fair now to p.ake him pay $40 in lieu
of a workhouse sentence, and then
give him the sentence?
Judge Smith asked him to tell the
whole story, which he did. Then pc,
lice were hurried away to catch
Davis, but Davis had hurried away
| from there.
