You Can Reduce The answer of most fat people is | that it is too hard, too troublesome' and too dangerous to force the weight down. However, in Marmola Pres cription Tablets, all these difficulties nre overcome. They are absolutely harmless, entail no dieting or exer cise, and have the added advantage of cheapness. A large case is sold \ hy druggists at 75c. Or if preferable, they can be obtained by sending price direct to the Marmola Co., 864 Wood ward Ave., Detroit, Mich. Now that i you know this you have no excuse for being too fat, but can reduce two, | three or four pounds a week with- j out fear of bad after-effects. | Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1917, International News Service By f LOOK If lb 1 VOOVE ©EEN If THIRTY 1 T . tuam/ut | UKE A HAPPY 'MARKED VERY KIND TO 1 MM*R\EDA TOO I DEAR ME - I J I THOUGHT XOO I N^Ari: J~~ ' MFtsftw-su? . -Jfh LONGTIME- LONC.

Standard grade head rice, as we i have seen, is not a substitute for po j tatoes. Potatoes contain a vast ex j cess of base-forming substances, j whereas standard grade head rice (polished rice) contains an excess of j acid-forming substances. They bear no more resemblance to each other J than an undenatured ripe banana bears to highly milled patent flour. On the banana monkeys and hu | man beings can live indefinitely. On | an exclusive diet of patent Hour they : are doomed to tuberculosis and col , lapse. I The rice bulletin, issued for free distribution among the poor, urges as 1 a matter of "economy" the use of rice j with cheese, peas and beans, all of j which now happen to be among the most expensive foods on the market. The bulletin also publishes a num ber of recipes which call for the use of tomato sauce, now a luxury; cab bage, which for a time threatened to be seen only in museums of natural | history; onions, which since the civil ; war have .never been so high and kid ney beans, ♦which happen to be the 1 most costly aristocrats of the bean family. In passing it might be said that beans of any kin<J are cheap at any I price. They have never been prop j erly appreciated in the United States i since the practical extinction of the American Indian, who ate them in great quantities. But no real economy is achieved in , exploiting the sham virtues of stand ard head rice when such expensive I'oods are included in its preparation i for the table. Fresh tomatoes, in the principal cities of the United States during the first week of March, 1917. were quoted at 25 cents a pound wholesale for prime quality and 15 i cents a pound wholesale for seconds. At retail these tomatoes sold at from 23 to 35 cents a pound. Such ; tomatoes are, of course, hothouse to i matoes. Standard canned tomatoes No. 2 are now worth $1.25 a dozen wholesale or approximately 15 cents a can retail. They contain 99 per cent, water, and estimated on a dry solid basis are worth $9.60 a pound, at which price we might as well eat the expensive potato. Certainly if preparation with to matoes is essential to the finished dish of standard head rice the argument of economy falls fiat and all reason for substituting rice in the place of the potato vanishes. During the first week of March old onions were worth sl2 a hundred wholesale, and were bringing 2 5 cents a pound in the market at retail. One year ago onions sold at 2 5 cents a peck. Ten days ago they sold at $2.40 a peck. Any recipe calling for onions in order to complete a dish, the base of which is standard grade head rice, results in the production of a finished ! dish far more expensive than the po tato even at prices twice as high as j they now are. It may be that the recipes calling for the use of these luxuries with rice were worked out when the so-called substitutes for potatoes were cheap. But to make rice palatable and at the same time as cheap as the rice bulletin asserts it to be. we are re duced to the painful necessity of find- ing less expensive substitutes for onions, tomatoes and cabbage. There are no such substitutes. The free rice bulletin declared, "Many people do not like rice." It re mained silent as to the reason be hind the fact. People do not like head rice because it has no flavor. It is one of the de- I natured foods which in itself is so in j sipid and characterless that it must jbe drenched and disguised under a mass of gravy, soups, sauces or other condimental or succulent treatment in order to make it palatable. Natural brown rice possesses a flavor of such character that it needs j no such drenching or disguising. Growing children on a diet of nat- I ural brown rice will continue to grow. I On the same diet mothers can bring ! forth their offspring and nurse their infants indefinitely. On a diet of standard grade head rice they go to pieces. If there ever was a time when all foods entering the larder of a family forced to subsist on a small income should be whole, complete, and entire, that time is now. Paris, with its regulations of March 11, 1917, enforcing the use of whole meal bread, where heretofore white rolls were common, has set the ex ample. The cities of the United States, with profit to themselves, would do well to follow it.' Honest whole meal bread (not the ! molasses-stained fraud that mas querades as graham bread in the jbakeshops of our large cities), with whole wheat breakfast foods, natural j brown rice, whole oatmeal, whole cornmeal, unpealed barley peas, ; beans, lentils, and whole pure pas teurized milk, would stiffen the na-' tion's backbone and help to put real preparedness on firm feet. The rice bulletin was designed to meet what was said to be an emer- gency. No such devices can meet an emergency when, hastily put togeth- I er, they ignore fundamentals, fotget I the simplest facts of the market I place, and misstate the truth. The rice bulletin calls for milk in j the preparation of the rice dishes I which it suggests as an inconsequen tial incident of minor importance. Yet milk is to-day the cheapest ani mal food purchasable in the United States. THE SOLDIERS' LITTLE JOKE Paris, Mprch 29. —The Paris police authorities have decided in the future to arrest all soldiers on leace who perpetrate the hoax that they are carrying dangerous hand grenades or other high explosives in theunder ground railways or tram cars, thus scaring other passengers to get out. It has been a common practice for soldiers weighed down with a steel helmet, knapsack, blanket roll and canteen to squeeze into a crowded car and then warn the other passengers: "Don't jostle or crowd me or my grenades may blow up." Thus usually caused many fellow passengers to leave the car at the next station, thus giving the soldiers plenty of room and seats. Two poilus have been arrested for this hoax.

A BAX OX HAWAII AX DAXCERS Atlantic City, March 2D.—Ha ) waiian dancers will no longer be per- J mitted to cavort about beach front cabarets. Director of Public Safety Sooy issued the following warning: "Owing to the complaints mado last summer by visitors and citizens of At lantic City against the Hawaiian dances permitted at various cafes, the commissioners have determined to no tify the managers of cabarets that such dances, will not be permitted during the coming season. This is to notify you not to make contracts with such performers, and that contracts already made should be rescinded at once." Discussing the order, Director Sooy said that when the Hawaiian dancers first appeared at local cafes their grass skirts were modest and becom ing. As the competition became keen, however, the skirts continued to shrink to a point that provoked pro test. "Atlantic City is liberal," Di rector Soo.v declared, "and strains a point in this regard, but there is a I line which cannot, be passed." SCHEME TO SAVE CENTS Chicago, March 29.—Under a plan which has been tried in Austin, a sec tion on the West Side of the city, and which will be adopted gy grocers thero next Monday, housewives who go to market, pay cash for their pur chases and carry them home, will save six cents. The grocers have de cided on a fixed charge of five cents for delivery of purchases and one cent for charging them. Cured His RUPTURE 1 was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation, trusses did m no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly ana completely cured me. Years have pass ed and the rupture has never returned, although X am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a completo cure without operation \t you write to ?},e. M. Pullen, Carpenter, .tO6C Marcel lus avenue, Manasquan N J. Better cut out this notice and snow it to any others who are ruptured you may save a life or at. least stop the misery of rupture and the worry ana danger of an operation.
