MAKES FAT
 PEOPLE SLIM  New York Physician Perfects ~ Harmless Method of Re-
 ducing Weight,

The loss of as much as a pound of excess fat day with no harmful re- suits is the record made by many pa tients of Dr. R. Newman, licensed practicing physician of 286 Fifth ave- nue, New York, who announces that he has perfected treatment which has quickly rid fat people of excess weight. What is more remarkable is the eDoctor's statement that he has sue cessfully treated thousands of patients for fat reduction without change of diet or unnecessary exercise. It is also said that fat people who suffer from chronic rheumatism, gout, asthma and high blood pressure obtain great relief from the reduction of their superfluous flesh. Realizing that this sounds al- most too good to be true, the Doctor has offered to send without charge to anyone who will write him, a free trial treatment to prove his claims, as we'll as his pay-when-reduced" plan. If you want to rid yourself of superfluons fat, write him today, addressing Dr. R. Newman, 2S6 Fifth Ave, New York City, Dept. R-20O.-Ady.

NSIAlL OAE1LAA 1Oh6AOJ
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. '6-The various counties of the state will not be called on by the state highway de- partment to maintain the roads to be built in the year beginning June 1, 1924, and for which sale of $7,O0O,00O worth of state bonds has been authoriz- ed, according to Chairman John Rogers of the highway commission.
 When the question of launching on a policy of building roads with state founds alone independent of federal aid was submitted to county officials by the highway department, companion resolution was submitted providing that the counties should maintain roads to be built in future by the state. This companion resolution also was endorsed budget for the expenditure of $7,000,- 900 just authorized, the highway com mission however has made provision for maintenance also.
 The golden, black and brown tresses of feminine employees at the state cap itol are being shorn away at rapidly increasing rate, as the vogue of bobbed hair comes more and more into its own in the historic cradle of the confeder- acy. When Governor w. w. Brandon was on the stump in 1922 he declared that the highest degree of efficiency would be insisted upon from all state employees. Regardless of whether his pronunciamento had any thing to do with the increasing resort to the scis- sors it is nevertheless fact that bobbed hair is declared to greatly simplify the problems of the modern business woman. In mediaeval times a woman's hair may have been her crowning glory, but her twentieth century descendant who has something to do besides play on the harpsichord pronounces an ex- cess of hair a drawback to holding the job. T can get ready for work in morning iu fifteen minutes less time," declared one of the youthful capitol office assistants who recently reported for duty with titian locks ruthlessly mutilated as a sacrifice, so she claimed, to the mammon of modern business haste and efficiency.
