PULSATING MARK ENABLES AMERICAN

Through Rise and Fall of Mark One Traveller Makes Fifty Dollars Above All
 Expenses

 Cherbourg, France, October h. An American whosarrived here today has had a vacation in Germany, which far from costing him money, has left him with more than he had when he started.
 When he got off the boat he heard that the mark was quoted at 2,200 to the dollar. This was about twice as much as when he left New York. He made haste, in his delrious joy. to convert 1000 into marks. Losing no time, he set out the same night for Bavaria.
 When he arrived in Rothenburg. that charming old Bavarian city with it's glorious medieval architecture he began to wonder what he would do with over two million marks. His hotel informed him that the charge would be HOO marks per day, with board included. He spent an eve ming wandering among the pictur- csque little crooked streets of the am -cient city. trying to think up a scheme for spending his money in the time at his disposal.
 Rothenberg is not town of luxu- rious cafes and all night dancing pal aces. The town closes up tighter than fashionable shoe at about 9:3O in the evening.
 Tries Automobiiing Shortly after our friend had turned in, lie heard the rumble of high powered motor, and looking out tho window saw a party of Americans in a Mercedes racing ear, with a Ger man chauffeur. A hired car, obvi- ously. Here was the idea. Automo- piles are luxury, even in Germany. Next morning early he saw the hotel porter. That pompous. whis- 1 kered individual with his gold-rim- med spectacles and trimmed uniform was quick to respond to the suggestion. He knew precisely what our American friend wanted It just happened that the chauffeur of the ex-King of Wurttemberg Herr
 
 90-h. D. ear that the King had left behind Herr Frey was sent for and was happy to meet our Ameri- can friend, and speaking through the porter as interpreter was ready to pilot him all over Bavaria for 20,- GOO marks day and board and lodging.
 After lunch next day they started. They whizzed along the German highways. stopping along the way for meals. Nuremburg, Iglestadt aHd intermediate points were visited. and each made to bring forth the best 1t possessed for the delectation of the l millionaire traveller. Munich was reached and two days spent in ex- ! p1oring the best it had to offer. Then | Augsburg. Here an altercation with i some of the natives resulted in q 1 warning from the police that our l dispenduous American had better ! leave Bavaria, and the sooner the better for his health. Stepping on the gas, ex-King of Wurttember's

chauffeur brought him to the Bava rian frontier at Ulm in incredibly short time.
 Don't forget urged the Ameri- can. by now respectful of Bavarian law, that we must stop at the police headquarters in Ulm and get our papers put in order.'
 Works Trick
 The chauffeur looked at him pity ingly and said nothing. When they reached Ulm, the watchful Bavarian police were on the job. Other cars, which. seemed to be full of Americans, were sll lined up and officers were examining passports. The ex King of. Wurttemberg's chauffeur looked at them contemptuously. As group of police approached he shouted some thing that the Americans did not understand and they saluted. The gas was again on and the car shot forward.
 At Stuttgart our American dis charged the chauffeur. paid him for six days traevl, with stiff tip, gather ed up his suitcases full of knick knacks that he had bought for his friends and relatives back home and entrained for Paris. Arriving there, he discovered that he still had l,500. 900 marks in his pocket. He had spent exactly 100000 marks in his weeks holc. y in Germany. And, as the remaining marks were of no further use to him, he carried them to a bank and received precise ly si,o50, or just $50 more than he had paid for the 100000 marks with which he started out because of a change in the exchange rate.
 And today he is wondering wlso in the world it is that has paiS him $50 for enjoying motor Hde through Bavaria.

others; each week and month would begin on Sunday and end on Satur- day and holidays would come on regularly stated times, instead of skipping around the calendar.
 The extra month, also of 2S days would be called "sol' or some other suitable name, and would be i'm serted between June and July. "Year Day" would be inserted either just bfore "Sol" or July, and would con- stitute an international midsummer holiday without week day name.
 Easter Day is given as the most remarkable of the movable fe-sts' which would be put at some specific point in the year by the advocates of the plan, allowing the ladies to decide better on the class of their Easter finery. Under the present moon chasing scheme, it is shown Easter may arrive as early as March 23, which 1t did in 1913. or as late as April g, as in 1916. Under the proposed system the date would be fixed as steady as the Fourth oi July.

MINISTRIES COME.
 ID JEFFERSON
Al G. FiId, With Novel Saxo- land Five, Wonder of
 Clear Harmony

"H-a-r-m-o-n-y spells Al G. Field Minstrels this year, per usual" wrote an Indianapolis reviewer of the Field show. He hit upon one of the chief claims to fame this famous minstrel company enjoys. and the millions who have enjoyed it's entertainment will agree that the reviewer is cor rect in his judgment. when he adds:
 There's music in opera, melody In musical comedy, syneopation in she Fohies. but when it comes to real. honest-to- goodness close harmony. and lots of il, the mlnstrels get the palm
 The Al c. Field boys are famous for their harmony. in all-round en- tertainment as well as in their musi- cal numbers, and the current season finds them more distinguished than ever in this as well as other re spects. But confining the subject to harmony, one Of the acts in the show which may be depended upon to give any audience it's money s worth in close harmony. is that of the Saxoland Five, quintet of sax ophone artists which has to respond to so many encores that they say they are thoroughly exhausted when their act is over.
 The Saxoland Five is composed of Carl Cameron, who originated the act; Rody Jordan. the quintet's pre- mier comedian. who wields mon ster bass saxophone; Harry Corley, John Bourke and Garner Newton. These boys are one of the big hits of the show, and they have a roper toire of snappy new harmonies for their enthusiastic audiences.
 The Al c. Field Minstrels will ap- pear at the Jefferson theatre for an engagement of three days beginning Thursday, with special matinee Sat urday.

These figures show that the Indiana voca-

namely, to give vocational training to future
trade workers.
Boys who have taken the vocational indus

"An employer in Terre Haute writing to the
principal of the boys vocational school, states
We have heretofore been compelled to take in
green boys and train them as best our time and
ability would permit. Our time and patience, to
say nothing of our ability have been so limited
that usually we had to keep boy from six
months to year before he of any value to
us, but now with your staff of specialized boy
trainers you equip them with the peculiar knowl-

New System of
Fat Reduction

Here's a new way for all fat people
to laugh together at that old bugaboo
Obesity. The saying that there is
nothing new under the sun" does not
now apply TO fat people any more.
Here is something new for them-a new
sensation, a new pleasure, new and
graceful figure easily found by anyone
who is passing beyond the limits of
slimness. Everyone has heard of the
Marmola Prescription; that harmless
combination of fat-defying elements
perfected by one of the foremost ply
sicians- Now, from the same high au-
thority, 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, convert
ing them into compact, solid flesh, mus
Gle and energy, without dieting or ex-
ercise. Marmola Prescription Tablets
regulate the entire system-do for you
what bodily eXertion and self-denial
can not do, and the fat, once routed
is gone for good. You can prove all
this at a trifling cost. MarmoIa Pre-
scription Tablets are sold by all drug
gists or sent postpaid by the Marmola
Company, 1912 Woodward Avenue De-
troit, Mich. A case-sufficient to bring
resultsis but one dollar-Advertise

BUYING Junk


We spend too much for foolish
things, for things we do not need; for
Airedale pups and piston rings, for
idle tales to read. Tired Father draws
his weekly wage, and says to wife and
kin, 'Since blowing coin is all the rage
come, let us blow it in I may be
broke when l am gray, like other shift
less skates, but while 1 live no man
can say that l have tightwad traits.
So, now, Miranda, don your lid, and
children, come with me; along the viii
lage street We'll skid, and buy all
things we see" Tired Father labors
long and hard to earn the helpful
scads; through weary days he renders
lard, or fashions liver pads; through
long, long hours he greases pigs for
use at county fairs, or manufactures
oakum wigs like that which grandma
wears. And when he draws his week
ly pay. all stained with honest sweat,
he should to wife and kindred say,
"The banks the one best bet. Just
now you handed me some hints that
you would shopping go, but | must sea
your plans and prints before a cent
you blow l give you, wife, a silver
dime, the children each a cent:
there'Il be no carnival of crime, no
coin for doodads spent. In yonder
bank I'll place my roll, and when
we're old, eftsoons, we will not freeze
for lack of coal, or starye through
dearth of prunes."
