 how easy it is to LOSE FAT

everybody knows how excess fat has disappeared in late years. Men and women in every circle prove that figures need not stay abnormal. Youth and beau ty, health and vitality can come back.
 All lmust realize that, in late years, some new factor is employed. Fewer people now rely on abnormal exercise or dict. Modern science has proved that most fat people suffer from an undcr-activc gland, Physi- clans now, in treating obesity, seek to correct that deficiency.
 The chief factors arc embodied in Mar mola prescription tablets, prepared by famous laboratory. People have used them for ? years-millions of boxes of them. Now in every circle there are slender people who can tell you what they do.
 The method is scientific and well known. Every box of Marmola contains the formula, also the reasons for the good results No starvation, thoug h moderation helps. The purpose IS to help out an under-active gland, which should turn food into fuel and energy.
 Go test this well-tried method. In little while results will tell you what Marmola means to you. If you sec the excess fat go and new vitality return, go on until the change is completed. Then, in fairness to your friends, tell them, as users have done for so long. Start today.
 Marmola prescription tablets are sold by
 all druggists at sl a box. Any druggist
 who is out will gladly order for you.

IDE\TIFICATION.
By K. B. Andrews


 My earliest recollection Of pro- hibition is Of the bartender who carried his stock slowed away up on his person in one-drink f1asks a device, I understood. which held him. and not the management, le- gallY responsible
 Only yesterday I dropped in upon my present faVorte dispenser Of cool. pink cocktails and stood dis mayed when I found the mahogany bar gone and only dust in it's place.
 But an inconspicuous gentleman sidled up to me and said "Want a drink"
 At my nod he produced a flask from his coat and said TWO dol lars you can go into the next room and drink it.. "Yourc new band hereo' questioned. "how did you know il was all right to give mo liquor"'
 "Easy,' he grinned, "all waited to sec was whether you looked sur priscd at seeing the bar gone,

THE PERMANENT REVOLT

Revolt of Cantonese troops in South China has given impetus 10 the belief that the Ranking regime is soon to fail. Pekin bankers give it rix months, basing their deductions upon the suppostion that it will require three months for the Nation slist odificc 10 he ongufed in the uucksan1s Of southern revolt and all equal time for bargaining as to what Is to be donc next.
 The crisis in China is one ol permanency. Tho underlying trouble is the army. which does not bclio' e in civil rule and moro especially does not care 10 be disbanded upon the plan Of Chang Kai-shck. Chinese provincial military rulers have a soft thing, and their puppets get along without much cNcrtion. To many observers it appears that tho jdealistic principles of Sun lat-scn were 100 years ahead Of the time oi their cnunclatIon.
 The Cantonese revolt is one of a radical nature. The worst feature about the Ranking regime al present is that it's coffcrs are empty. so that it cannot buy off revoltinG leaders in the south. Money with which 10 placate military leaders in China Is more important than gunpo"d"r. The leaders are not in business for

SCHOOL, POIIIt $

The opponents of school consolida- ton in Hartford credit the public with possessing little intelligence on one point, at least. Leaders in the effort to retain the district system claim that if the schools arc consoli- dated they will be thrown into poll ties. At the same time the district school leaders have put innumerahlc teachers 10 work to talk to- par snts on the advlsability Of continuing the district system. This is being in politics with q vengeance. The facts are. the consolidation plan will take the district school leaders out O politics

CONSERVATIVE NEWSPAPERS

In the days when automobile ac- cidcnts first became subjects for newspaper accounts it was common to state in the chronicle just why it occurred and ye hard-working re- porters were not averse to fixing the blame in q somewhat general way. They don't do that any more: city editors won't stand for it. News rapcrs are more conservative in this respect. For a newspaper account to state that so-and-so had the right of way and the other driver got hurt because he infringed upon that right is distinctly passe.
 The tcchnic nowadays is to print the statements Of the parties to the mechanical fracas. if such arc avail able; but more frequently it is con- sidered amply sufficient to tell just what occurred and not attempt an 1 explanation as to why
 The modern plan is sound, safe and logical. It is not the business of newspapers to try cases before they | reach court,

The rail unification plan by the Interstate Commerce Commission is now postponed until after January. The plan has been subject to innum- erable postponements, and until re- cetly it was considered certain that the l. C. C. would make public it's findings this autumn. What the sug- gcstions of the I. (. C. ultimately will amount to it is hard to say. Good opinion has it that ultimately Congress will have to take a hand. The advantages of excessive unifi- cation are not clear.

COMPLEX TARlFF-MAKING

Tariff making is the most Compli- ! cated business Congress can tackle. ! In the Hawley- Shoot bill arc 1Sl 0 i rate paragraphs. each one loaded with dynamite for some industry unless made to 'protect' properly. Small wonder Senator Bingham was at sea. Even an cx-collegc professor can only become expert at one thing at a time.
 How the complexity of tariff mak- 1 ing has increased can be determined from the advance since the Mckinley act Of 1890. That had 761 individual paragraphs, and was before Congress nine months before finally made into 1 law.
 Even before the Civil War pro- | longed deliberation in Congress | characterized tariff measures. The 1 Morill act was reported to the House l in April, 1860. and was not naCted l until II months later; but at that ! time Congress had been in recess for 1 five months.
 The Wilson act of 1894 was be- for the House committee and the House for six months, and was de- bated in the Senate for three months.
 The Dingloy act Of 1S97 took seven months,
 The Paync-Aldrich act of 1909 took six months.
 The Underwood act Of 1918 took nine months
 The Fordney- -McCumbor act Of 1922 took 2o months.
 Returning to the Hawley-Smoot bill. so far it has taken nine months from the time hearings on it were begun in January. It took the House five months to get through with it. The senate has had n since the last days of May.
 l. IS not unusual for marked diff rcrences 10 attend consideration of q tariff. act. During the first 40 years of the last century it occurred re- pcatedIy that inc House and Sen ate did not agree over the amount Of protection to be granted and the sectional interests to be protected
 The Senate during those years re.
 peatcdly failed 10 pass tariff bills
 which had been approved by th(
 House.
 Since that timr. however, agree ments have been more general ant since 1889 every major tariff revision proposed by the party in control 0 Congress ultimately passed botl , houses Only in 1894 did q deadlocl | threaten over tho Wilson bill. IT the present Senate fails to com,

at is idle to suppose that the Young plans ratification is not in danger following the political upset in France and the victory of the German Nationalists in gaining the necessary ten per cent of signatures to their petition for plebiscite on the subject. Until these muddled in ternal politics are settled in both countries international relations will scarcely be more than subjects for politicians; action will await a stabilization of opinion.
