[By L. C. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The end
of the present peace treaty debate
within a week or ten days is in sight
as a result of an agreement reached
today between republican leaders and
the "bitter-enders."
The ''bitter-enders" promised to
stop debating the treaty as soon as
Senator Lodge agreed not to permit
notifications of any reservations
Lodge and the mild reservationists
accepted this proposal today.
The "irreconcilables" votes are
pledged to the Lodge program only up
to the point where his reservations
are incorporated in the resolution of
ratification. They have not promised
to vote for ratification.
The program decided is to vote as
rapidly as possible on the Lodge res
ervations, beginning at 2 p. m. when
the reservation on domestic affairs
will be voted on.
Senator Walsh of Montana opened
discussion of this reservation.

You Cannot
Hide Your Fat

Overfatness is the one misfortune
you can not hide from yourself or
from those around you. Ii too thin.
your dressmaker or tailor can supply
the deficiencies, but the 0verfat
carry a burden they can not conceal.
There is one sure way to reduce your
weight safely and quickly. The
harmless Marmola Prescription,
which changes the fatty tissues and
fat-producing foods to solid flesh and
energy, helps the general health and
diges ton, permits you to eat and live
az YOU like, and leaves the skin clear
and smooth. This famous prescrip-
ton is now condensed into tablet
form. Each tablet is an exact dose
of the same harmless ingredients that
made the original prescription cap
able of reducing the overfat body at
the rate Of two, three, or four pounds
a week without the slightest Ill
effects. Take but one tablet after
each meal and at bedtime until the
normal weight is reached and the
bodily health completely restored.
Ask your druggist for Marmola Pre-
scription Tablets, or send TO the Mar
mola Co., S64 Woodward Ave-, De-
troit, Mich, and you will receive for
81 full case-enough to start you
well on your way to slimness and
happiness.

Clintock, a sister of Mrs. Blood, comes
from Laurel, Miss, where she has had
opportunity to study the problem of
the colored women in the south, and
her years in China made her familiar
with the problem of the yellow sis
tiers. Mrs. McClintock pictured the
white woman standing erect and pow
erful, while the black woman has her
head down and back bent under the
weight Of ignorance, while the yellow
woman stands partly erect. They all
look to the white woman for freedom
and for guidance.
An original poem with Mrs. Winona
Evans Reeves on this subject was
read by Mrs. Blood. 1t was cleverly
written and received with applause.
Mrs Reeves will leave the chapter
soon, when she goes to Minneapolis
to make her home, and this was in
the nature of a farewell tribute to
her.
