laugh together at that old bugaboo--Obes-

under the SUM- does not now apply to fat
people any more. Here is something new
for them-a new sensation, a new pleasure,
a new and graceful figure. easily found by
anyone who is passing beyond the limits of
slimness. Everyone has heard of the
Marmela Prescription: that harmless COM
bination Of fat-defying clements perfected
by one of the foremost physicians. Now
from the same high authority, there comes
another idea-the idea of condensing these
same, pure, harmless ingredients Into a
pleasant little tablet. Taken after eating
and at bedtime. they help the stomach to
dispose Of all the fatty foods, converting
them Into compact. solid flesh muscle and
energy, without dieting or exercise Mar
mola Prescription Tablets regulate the en-

MEXICO IS COMING BACK?
Railway Conditions Indicate Country
Is Recovering From His.

If railroad activity is an index to
the general economic and financial
condition of a nation, Mexico is on
the high road to recovery from the
political ana economic ills which
have assailed her for more than a
decade.
Recent reports which have been
published in the Railway Age, rail-
road journal. indicate that railway
conditions in tile republic to the south
are improving.
A statement is credited to the Mex
lean treasury department to the eff
feet that the Mexican National rail-
ways. which have been in the hands
of the government, are to be returned
to private ownership not later than
November 15.
1t is also announced that govern
ment approval has been granted for
the plans and specifications of the
proposed new passenger station of the
National Railways of Mexico at Tam
pico, which is to cost approximately
100000 American currency.
The Southern Pacific Railroad OF
Mexico, it is reported, has agreed to
accept Mexican government bonds to
secure the claim for twelve million
dollars, United States currency, fof
loss and damage to that reads prop-
erty during the numerous revolutions
A more significant statement is that
the Southern Pacific is to replace the
temporary bridges which were built
in Mexico during the destructive wal
period, with permanent structures.
At the last annual meeting of the
shareholders in the Mexican Vera
CRUZ railroad company, held iH-Lon-
don, England, provision was made fol-
the electrification of the mountain di-
vision of the road from Orizaba to
Esperanza. The power will come
from the hydro-electric plant of Lore
Cowdray and associates. near Orizaba
or a plant OF it's own may be built
by the road.
The Shareholders also ratified the
securing of a concession for the con-
structiof1 of d railroad from a poini
on the Mexican railway company's
main line from Mexico City to Vera
Cruz. at a cost of $4,000

There are some men in America
who are very much exercised over
the dreadful perjury and contempt of
law that they say the prohibitory leg
islatioh has produced. To say and
believe a thing like that is to confess
ones ignorance of history. Those who
point with horror at the violations of
law under prohibition have forgotten.
if they ever knew, the violations Of
law when the saloon was an institu-
ton in the midst OF a good many
thirsty citizens. In Kansas the brew :
cry and distijlery and saloon broke
more laws and caused more crime
and disorder and political and social
and commercial anarchy than al
other criminal sources put together.
Kansas is perfectly willing to grant
all that is trie of the failure to en-
force her prohibitory law, and assent
to the statement that the law, espe-
cia1ly In the early years. was very
imperfeetly obeyed. For that is his
torical fact.
But with all that true it must not
be forgotten, you gentlemen who are
effects of the national prohibitory
law that the greatest disturber of
the common peace and the greatest
enemy of national political honesty
and decency was the saloon and the
liquor interests back of it. Kansas
would emphasize again the fact that
imperfectly enforced prohibition was
heaven on earth compared with the
hell which the organized liquor power
had been giving her for a generation.
Make your own comparison between
prohibition and an open saloon.
And So in spite of well-nigh insur-

The history of Kansas in it's fight
with the liquor interests is being re-
produced in the national conflict al
most step by step. The difference
consists in the tremendous advantage
that Uncle Sam has over the single
state that stood for SO many years
alone. But the evasions, the home
brew, the illicit sales, the lawlessness
of the high-brow and the fow-brew
element in hatred of the law, the cry
