WHAT DID MADGE DO
WITH HER FAT
 JUST THIS:

A IL over the country, men ~ and women are wondering at the slender figures of today. Excess fat is rare now, compared with years ago.
 These people do not starvc themselves of clements they need. They employ a modern, scientific method to combat the cause of fat. The cause usually lies in an undcr-active gland, which largely controls nutrition.
 Modern physicians, in treat ingobesity, donot advise starva- ton, They feed the gland sub stance which is lacking. Thus the whole world has changed, in late years, as regards the ovcr-fat.
 \ famous medical laboratory embodied the method in Mar mola prescription tablets. Peo- pie have used them for ? years millions of boxes of them. They have told others about them and shown the results, in new youth and beauty, new health and vitality. Today the useofMarmolaisunprecedented.
 Every box of Marmola con-

tains the formula, also the sciien- tlhc reasons results. When fat disappears, and new health and Nlgor come, you know why.
 Try Marmola, and watch the results for a little while. If you see the fat go and new vigor come, keep on until the trouble IS corrected. Then tell your friends who need 1t. It is folly to suffer an abnormal condition so easily corrected. Go get Mar mola now.

Ii. W. WhitmOre Named
 Oakland-POntiac Dealer

The Oakland Motor Car company. announces another addition to it's nationwide dealer organization in the appointment of Howard ". Nhltmore as Oakland Pontiac deal CT here for the new Oakland Eignt and lt9 companion car, the smart New Series Pontiac Big Six. The public is invited to visit the show room at 50 Chestnut street and in spect the various models comprising the new lines.
 The huge e-O1kland-P Pontiac sdlas group with which the new dealer is now identified, has shown one of the most remarKable groWths in the entire automobile industry. With nearly 5000 dealers throughout the Lnlted States, It no is approximately five times the size Of the 1895 OaH- land dealer organization. The factory sales personnel and the zone sales offices at important key cities have been expanded greatly to meet the needs Of the growing dealer orgauiz- elion. W. l.. Tracy, yice-presidynt In charge of sales, has established factory regional and zone offices which afford a means of ready con- tact between the factory and th2 sales forces in the field.
 The remarkable growth in Oak land-Pontiac safes is the most con- vlnclng enforcement of the con- pany's policy of constantly refining its products. Such features as Duco, fcur-wheel barkes, the rubber-si- fenced chassis, crankcase vcntia- ton and automatic spark control, have contributed greatly to the fame and prestige of Oakland pro- ducts.
 The company's latest pioneering achievement IS embodied in the many new automotive developments distinguishing the oakland Eight.
 While retaining it's established po- sliion in the six cylinder field with the New Series Pontiac Big Six, which presents many mechanical rctlncmon,s, the company this year also has entered the eight cNlnd r field with q moderate priced pow "rful N-lypc Oakland that offers new peaks of speed and accclcration
 Developed during three years Of intensive experiment and research, the sturdy, compact new Oakland engine employs many new but thor onghly proved principles of design which enable 1t to establish eXccp- tonal standards of performance.
 Entirely without torsional yibra- ton at any engine speed, the ne Y engine develops S5 horsepower at 800 [. !. m. from 8 displacement ot 25l cubic inches, This high pow CT development is due 10 several rev factors, including the complete down draft type of carburetion, the new type of high compression two- plane cylinder heads and the hori- zontal valve design.

The Right Atmosphere For The Bridge Game

IL just had 10 be, and now 1t is the bridge style of interior dccora, ton.
 If home is q place to live il, MlJ We cant live without brl4e-,'. then We must have brdGy home
 Perhaps Hod haven't reached L." point where Nou will have the ry ing room walls and ceiling paint. with card motifs, but If you a. fortunate enough to have a gam room, you will find the new chint1 called "Trumps" the perfect de. oration.
 It comes in an ivory. black o' red ground. SC 4ttered saily with th4 familiar spots. and the rcd or bla I. chintz would be very effective in draperies with d valance, perhaps of three red diamonds
 But there is no need 10 be dis. ] couraged if you cant so in for tne bridge atmosphere m u big way - there arc always the acccssories- , china. ash trays. lamp shades and hundred other things that will O.. cur easily 10 all who breathe bridge
 The Chintz, for instance. can u, transformed into a. striking coyrr for the bridge table or for the Scorc pads, or at feast the match bor. trridcntallN, match boxes corcr,.l and shcllackcd, tied with red rio bon ln half dozen or dozen lo5>. make appreciated (and incNpcn- sivc) prizes.
 For those who still snatch time off for d bite, the bridge sets O ! china will help keep them in tho proper mood. They are reasonable, too. 12 pieces being generally ob- talnable for much less than 9lo.
 The plates have an inch bord.r ot black or rcd, with a single sllit motif i'll the center. The cups and sauccrs, also Tn black or rcd, Ire 1 dclighttully shaped like the suits, 1 IIarmonizinS with these are the -ass bridge ash trays, each with | spade heart. diamond or club in the center.
 For special occasions (as if ev- l cry game wasn't q special occI- -lon) the effect Of these accessories ! should be heightened further by pd- per napkins and table covers de"- oratod with queens. jacks an1 | hearts.
 The new round cards would add new zcst to the same-and they might bo prizes, too. And, to brighten the scene, over the lamp shades should lie slipped simple pl- per shades pasted over with bridg2
