Reduction don Is. -
d EpNA kENT FoRBKs.

THE best doctors who make a spe-
cialty OF reduction agree that
food, and food only. causes fat.
There are some people, OF course,
who viii get fat on a smaller guam
tity OF food THAI others These are
people whose nerves and digestion
are in excellent condition and who
have, as the scientific people phrase
Il, a high metabolfsm.
Since food and food only causes
fat, this should give you the cue as
to what you should do to get rid of Il.
SO for today I would like 70 impress
a few "don'ts" on your mind.
Don't take anti-fat medicine ex-
cept under the supervision Of a scien-
tific, educated physician There is no
such thing as positively reducing
without diet OF exercise"
Don't take drastic purges.
Don't take violent exercise at first.
Don't take too many or too pro-
longed Turkish baths.
Don't take EPSON salts baths.
Don't try everything your friends
recommend
And don't despair.
It's perfectly possible for you to be
as slim as you want-if you really
want to. But remember that the
methods you try must at least DE
logical II you have eaten yourself
fat, certainly the most logical thing
is to diet yourself thin. You won't
mind It at all when you get used
to it.

 Upstairs was her place. she told her self, and after taking careful sur vey of the stairs and the hall, she crept from the drawing room and stole quietly across the heavy rugs. Mount ing the stairs noiselessly was compar- atively easy. for they were covered by thick carpet and in a few moments the girl found herself on the second floor, staring about at the unfamiliar surroundings and wondering which way to turn.
 Jane Ba1lin was in one of the rooms and that room was the very place Frances wished to avoid But which room? All the doors. that opened from the hall, were closed. She had nothing as her guide

 The room. furnished as a sort of of flee, was untenanted. and Frances en- tered, breathing with relief
 In the corner to her right, another door stood open. and moment later Frances found herself in a bathroom staring with fascinated eyes through an opening in third doorway.
 What she observed was the last thing that she had expected to see for Jane Ballin was in the room, a small hammer in her. hands, gently tapping the wall. away from which she had evidently moved the large, old fashioned dresser.
 The woman pursued her occupation in absorbed attention, tapping rapidly over the space that had been covered by the dresser. Finding nothing of which she was searching. she stood

Nerves on Edge From
 Headache and Nausea

q used to be positively afraid to meet people. My nerves were in such a ter rible state from sick head aches and nausea that sim ply could not appear pleas ant or agreeable.
 "One of my friends per suaded me to take a glass of Celery-Vesce. I was com pletely worn out at the time. That single glass straight ened me out in a jiffy, soothed my nerves, drove away my headache and made me feel like new person.
 Now, when I feel the least bit tired. I take Celery-Vesce before my feeling of fatigue brings on a severe headache or a case of nerves. One tea spoonful in a third glass of water makes a foamy drink that is pleasant and immedi- ate in effect.

 ConfSssd thoughts were rushing through the girls nRnd. jumbled tan gled thoughts. Oh. how she would have liked to talk. for one little minute, to Judge Crane but this was out of the question. Even the tele- phone, that rested tantalizingly on the dask almost within reach. was sep- arated from her by an impossible gulf. One whisper into the instrument and she would have Jane in the room. No, she couldn't ask advice. this was some thing she had to decide for herself
 But still. how could she go to Henry Ballin and make the bold statement that his sister was even remotely con nect@d with Red Larkin's gang. It would break his heart And then again suppose she didn't tell him. Wouldn't she, by her silence, increase the danger that he was in?

In one day the newspapers reported the theft of nearly lO'O0 yards of Valenciennes lace, of furs worth near ly s250O and of 500 worth of calico from three different warehouses. The thieves operated in a small way car. The same day masked men, armed with reNolNers' gagged and bound the secretary of west end restaurant and made off with some $500 from the safe. X month or so later an armed thief raided a bank in the county of Kent, near London, and when pursued by the police turned and fired at them. On that same day two burglars. surprised by the police in London, resisted and one fired point blank at the officer.
