STOPS FAT WITHOUT
 PURGING
Says harmful Isxstives, strenuous exercise or starvation diets
 not necessary

There is a simple, practical way tc take of excess fat without starving, without daily purging, without strenu- ous exercise. This method is the method that specialists use in treating obesity cases.
 Doctors know that when food is taken into the body, it is either trans formed into energy, or 1t is stored in the form of fat. The proper reducing treatment helps the body turn food into energy. That's the way Marmola works. It supplies the normal element that the body itself uses.
 With Marmola, more food is used for energy, less is unused to form fat. That's why most people who take it will usually say they feel better than they ever felt before in their lives. They are surprised at the new energy they have. And they can hardly believe their eyes as they see excess fat go.
 Go try Marmola now. All you do is take 4 tablets daily. Moderation helps, of course, but starvation diets or strenuous exercises are not necessary. Then you stop when you reach the weight desired. A booklet in every package gives full details. Just see your nearest druggist.

what they want, the rest was
simple a easy. Tomorrow there
would be beer.
1T so happened I had made
l. eager inquiry and found that
such was not the case. I en-
deavored to explain to Gus.
You see this is only the be-
ginning. For some reason, the
people who already have ex-
pressed their opinion must be
doubly assured that they really
want what they know they want.
This is one of the splendid
benefits of democracy. There is
no chance of an emotional mis-
take. No matter how strong your
convictions ste, they must be au-
thenticated by studied legislation.

they couldn't, because they didn't
have the money.
That was why Janet sat in Bruce
Hamilton's office from o'clock
until sand often long afterward-
five days week and for half DAYS
on Saturdays when she would so
much rather have been busting
about a blue and white kitchen of
her own.
Give up her job to cook and wash
dishes and mend and iron clothes?
Indeed she would! Shed have been
glad to.
EOR Janet and Rolf there couldn't
Il be a blue and white kitchen, a
vine-clad bungalow or even a tiny,
cheap, third floor apartment. They
couldn't be married because the
combined total of their savings &C
counts was $214 short of $500.
Five hundred dollars that total
must be before Janet and Rolf
could go to the courthouse and then
to the church and solemnly ex-
change promises to love and cherish
one another until death.
1t might not seem large sum to
great many people. To Janet and
Rolf it was huge, indeed. 1t was
also the absolute minimum on which
matrimonial venture might safely
be launched.
Janet knew this because she had
read it in magazine. 1t was Janet
who had insisted the $500 must be
in the bank before their marriage
There had been arguments. Dozens
of them.

With paper and pencils and a
great many highly irrelevant inter-
ruptions they argued and added and
subtracted-and arrived at Janet'S
originl statement. There must be

the $500 would buy; it was what II

That, at least, was the way Janet
looked at it.
They had been engaged for almost
year, yet the mention of Rolf's
name was enough to set her heart
beating a swift, exciting tattoo. That
warming and quickening that made
Janet wonder if all the world under

1t was being engaged to Rolf that
made Howard CreSSys continued
attention SO annoying. 1t was be-
ing engaged to Rolf that made
working hours-especially on Satur-
day-distasteful. But it was being
engaged to Rolf, too, that had made
the world paradise Janet Hill had
never imagined it could be, that
made the once ordinary city of Lam
caster suddenly the earth's garden
spot, that made Janet Hills hither-
to commonplace existence a state OF
ecstasy beyond anything she had
ever dreamed.
Oh, yes, it was like that-being
engaged to Rolf. Janet was engaged
and she was in love.
She and Rolf didn't talk so much
about when they were going to be
married. They didn't talk about it

of the Olympic insignia, and cack-

would have to be postponed until
tomorrow. That way she'd get every
thing done.
Janet's fingers clicked out the
neat sentences, rapidly, but not at
the reckless pace that would have
meant errors. The dancing keys
flew up and down with rhythmic
machine like precision.
She didn't notice how frequently
Howard CreSsy's glance wandered

was forgivable. Almost any young
man would have done the same.
Janet Hill wasn't beauty-not in
the taking sensational sense
of the word Janet's gray eyes were
not the sort to do hypnotic tricks
when a man looked at her. They
were level eyes, fringed with dark
lashes and they looked out on the
world in a friendly, confident way.
They we're practical eyes and the
broad forehead above them was
practical, too. Janet had cheeks
and throat like cream and her
lips were the dark, rich hue of ripe
cherries. 1t was unusual to see such
creamy skin with gray eyes, but any
artist would have told you it was
exactly right with the waving, light
brown hair that glinted copper in
the sunlight. Right, too, was the
well-molded chin, the nose, and
generous lips.
And then, just when one had
catalogued Janet's features and de-
cided that here was a girl who was
attractive and pleasant and sensible,
one saw the freckles. Almost a
dozen of them scattered across the
bridge of that practical nose and
across the practical cheeks. A dozen
small but perfectly visible freckles
of the same golden brown as Janet's
hair.
Somehow the freckles discounted
the matter of -factness of that bust
ness-like young face. They were
likely to make you wonder how
Janet Hill looked when she smiled
They made you want to wait and

picture Of Janet Hill, but all this is,
after all, quite minor. The one i'm
portant thing to know about Janet
was that she was engaged to Rolf
