 There's reason why % many people find dieting slow and often times futile in re. dueing. The reason. doctors say, is often because little gland is not working right. All the blood in your body goes through this tiny gland sixteen times every day. If 1t doesn't pour into the blood stream about one and one-half drops of vital fluid every % hours. many people take on ugly fat This fluid helps Nature to 'burn up" excess food and fatty tissue in much the same way as . good draft" acts in . furnace
 Nov, physicians combat this condition by feeding this gland the substance 1t lacks - and millions of pounds of excess fat has been wiped out in this way.
 Marmola Prescription Tablets are based on the same method used by doctors. So don't waste your time or money striving to reduce with starvation diets or baek-break- ing exercises.

There is startling need for this
kindly admonition; for there are too
many automobile accidents and deaths
and too many children failing in their
studies and playing truant, and too
many men and women losing jobs,

tering the harbor one may stand on
deck, and view one Of the most pic
turesque pieces Of land upon the globe
Some have acclaimed it the most beau
tiful island on earth, however that
statement, it is very outstanding in
loneliness; unique in preparedness
as eyes behold its circling harbor and
its general tropical appearance.
The city itself sets upon almost lev
ell land with tall, leaning palms, clus-
tering here and there, setting it off
from our surroundings of small leav-
ed trees.
Sailing into harbor, one notices dis
tinctly the mountainous ridge that
seems to semi-circle the city of King
ston as well as the outlying districts;
this mountain ridge adds beauty and
charm, and seems to be a protector
over the city, sheltering it from heavy
winds.
The first thing to greet one after
entering the city thoroughfares is US
ually native with punches of large
bananas, using bits of pleasant con-
versation in selling them. Their con-
versation is pleasing too, because they
speak English fluently, and beauti-
fully. The majority of these natives
are "high" brown or very dark color
ed. Out of more than sixty thousand
inhabitants, it is claimed that only
about two per cent are white, but all
are very civil, hospitable, and good
natured.
During this winter month while
walking about the streets of King
ston, Jamaica, you realize the hot
test days of August (above Mason
and Dixon's Line) are only equiva-
lent to the torrid heat at this spot
of earth on this February day. You
will notice other contrasting things
unlike the home environment, one of
these may be the traffic going on the
left side of the street instead of the
right, or it may be the basket or
jug balanced precariously on the ma
tive woman's head.
For contrast, this city is probably
unequaled; mostly negroes, well gov
erned, hot in winter, and many other
things too numerous to mention.
Many of our prosperous Americans
have liked this Island so we'll that
they have temporary or permanent
homes there, as well as some of the
well-to-do English, whose possession
it is.

actions. Through them more than IS
per cent of all knowledge is acquired.
Sight enables one to see, work; to
thrill to the beauties of color, form,
and movement. Vision is the very
foundation of progress both of in
dividuals and nations. Sight is the
most precious and useful sense. And
this precious gift is given only once.
Eyes can never be replaced; so
they should be taken care of, treat
ed as the marvellous, delicate mech
anisms they are.
A keen enjoyment of life is fine
thing to have. Good books, interest
ing shows, sports, travel, wonderful
things to see, eyes bring these pleas
a lot; they live in a half-seen world,
lost in fog most of the time. Yet
glasses can correct 95 per cent of the
common eye defects. The right glass
es would make this world a place of
new sights and color to all those peo-
pie who need them and do not have
them.
So it is hoped that during this
Save Your-Vision-W Week three rules
will be adopted to follow every week
in every year; First, guard against
accidents and injuries to eyes; Sec
ond, have eyes examined at regular
intervals; and third, be sure to give
eyes the right amount and kind of
light for each task they're called up
on to do. Better vision means bet
ter life!

Poetry Corner
OUR CLUB

Birthday anniversary poem dedicated
to the WOman's Club of POcOmOke
City,
A thought, a word, deed,
A bit of faith and zeal,
A clearly stated need
And that needs deep appeal
Have led us to this day
Of gladness and of mirth;
For we'll we know twas they
Which gave our club its birth.
And thoughts and words and deeds
Are just the things we plan
To use as precious seeds
To sow where'er we can.
We're proud and quite content
To tend our little plot
AS gardeners God sent
To cultivate this spot.
The soil that tares now yields
May, by our work and prayer,
Be turned to harvest fields
Of grain the world may share.
The seed of fertile thought
Sown by our faithful band
May, by life's forces caught,
Take root, in some far land.
There are no confines set
The good which here we do
Although we may forget
Its own. seed will renew;
And on through endless years
The things we do and say,
Despite our hopes or fears,
Will live, and live always.
We may not realize
That from clubs like this
Go gifts that angels prize,
And power the world would miss;

Audi0meter

A modernized hearing meter, which
permits measurements of hearing
losses by physicians, hospitals and
schools made at eight frequencies
ranging from Ga to 1892 cycles, has
been developed by the Bell Telephone
Laboratories. Developments in va
rious fields in recent years, according
to r. Nordenswan, engineer, in the
Bell Laboratories Record, have indi-
Gated that improved audiometers for
this type of use could now be made,
which besides having better charac-
teristics of measurements, would be
smaller, simpler to operate and less
expensive.
New MicrOphOne Circuit
The audiometer as described in the
Record article has been designed for
operation on the ordinary commercial
110-volt lighting supply, using either
direct or alternating current. Other
changes Incorporated in the new au-
diometer extend its usefulness and
widen its field of application. One of
these features described, which is OPP
tional with the purchaser, is a micro
phone mounted just behind the front
panel of the audiometer, with which
the physician may talk to the patient
directly through the receiver used for
the test.
Where the impairment is of a Sc
rious nature, this is Of great conven-
fence. The microphone is cut into or
out of the circuit by a switch on the
front of the cabinet. The audiometer
may also be arranged for use with
either an air conduction or bone con
duction receiver, so that the patients
hearing may be measured for both
types of reception. Such a double
measurement may give valuable infor-
nation as 70 the cause of any hearing
impairment that exists.
Air Co-:tuction
A dynamic receiver is employed for
the air-conduc t.on me2surel..e nts in
stead of the electtroma ghetto type fer
merly used. This gives somewhat
higher efficiency and better hearing
characteristics than the former type.
The cabinet OF tie improved audiom-
eter is eight inches high by fifteen
inches wide and eight inches deep,
making it small enough to be carried
around with ease.
Scientists and engineers of the tele-
phone laboratories have been inter-
ested in audiometers for making hear
ing measurements for a number of
years ard about ten years ago devel-
oped a comparatively simple form of
apparatus, used for making hearing
measurements on number of people
simultaneously, such as school children
or factory workers. The present equip
ment gives more complete measure
ments of hearing and has proved prac-
tical in the numerous tests made.

For none can this gainsay:
We give the gift supreme.
And heaven will dawn the day
That we no longer dream.
But seize with eager hand
And understanding soul
The kingdom we command,
The kingdom we control.
We need no crown, no throne,
To play this mighty part;
For we, by love alone,
Hold sway Ger home and heart.
