New Method Of
Reducing Fat

A news item from abroad informs
us that the American method of
producing a slim, trim figure is
meeting with astonishing success.
This system, which has made such a
wonderful impression over there,
must be the Marmola Prescription
Tablet method of reducing fat. J
is safe to say that we have nothing
better, for this purpose in this coun-
try. Anything that will reduce the
excess flesh steadily and easily with
out injury to the stomach or the
causing of wrinkles, and without the
help Of exercising, dieting, or absurd
greases and salves, is mighty i'm
portant and useful addition to civili-
cations necessities. Just such a
catalogue of good results follow the
use of these pleasant, harmless and
economical little fat reducers. We
say economical because Marmola
Prescription Tablets (made in ac-
cordance with the famous Marmola
Prescription can be obtained of any
druggist the world over or from the
Marmola Company, 1912 Woodward
Ave, Detroit, Mich, for one dollar
a case, which is a decidedly cconomi-
cal price, considering the number of
tablets each case contains. They
are harmless.

There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of

To do this get two ounces Of Gallo

rub over the blackheads briskly-
wash the parts and you will be sur
prised how the blackheads have dis
appeared. Big blackheads. little
blackheads, no matter where they

blackheads so they wash right out.

STARTLING REDUCTION OF
JEWISH POPULATION IN
KIEV DISTRICTS.

Investigation of % towns in the Kiev
district, which was the scene of many
pcgroms. indicates. according to re-
port made to the Joint Distribution
committee that only 25,OOO Jews remain
from an original total of 100000. The
number of houses occupied by them is
2,457 as against II .282 before the war.
The reduction in the number of
houses is due to the Great War, the
revolution and the war with Poland.
The decrease of. the population- aside
from the casualties due to the three
causes indicated. resulted from the
wholesale flight of Jews to places of
greater security. Most of them sought
refuge in Kiev where they still live
in great Distress and one of the main
tasks of the Joint Distribution commit
tee is to help them return and to re-
establish themselves in their old homes
