"Reduction" writes: "I am seeking

Answer: For many years'! have
placed reliance in the formula known
as five-grain arbolene tablets packed
in sealed tubes with full directions for I
home use. Some have reduced as much j
as forty pounds in a few weeks.
C. O. C. asks: "I am constipated,

spells and indigestion sometimes.
Please advise?"
Answer: 1 advise that yoir begin
using three-grain supherb tablets (not
sulphur). These tablets are laxative,
act on the liver, kidneys and bowels
and tend to keep the blood pure, by
arousing the eliminative functions.
Relief should follow quickly.

THURSDAY EVENING
ESTHERTON PLAN
UP FOR APPROVAL
! City Planning Commission to
Act Finally on Proposed
Development
The City Planning Commission
1 will meet to-night to take final ac
tion on the plans for the develop
ment of the Estherton farm which
1 j will be placed on sale on Saturday
by E. M. Herahey.
I The plot has been laid out and
street lines staked off. A feature of
the plan, according to E. S. Herman, j
! president of the Planning Commis
' sion. is the conformity of street
lines with those proposed by that
i body in the development of the sec
tion north of Division street.
I While the commission has not de
cided finally on the street extensions
north of Division street, it is under
j stood tlie streets in the Estherton
plot will meet with general provi
sions which have already been made.
| The development plan will probably
be adopted to-night as several con
■ ferences have been held to go over
1 details of plotting the ground.
John T. Brady, a member of the
( old park commission, who was ap
pointed to the Planning Commission
to succeed Benjamin F. I'mberger,
will not be present to-night. His ac-
I ceptance of the office was received
| to-day by City Clerk Charles A.
Miller.

and three treat mens cured me. Now.
| I want to know if I can increase my
| weight abo lit UO pounds?"
Answer: I have very frequently ad
vised thin, aenemic, bloodless* people
tc use three-grain hypo-nuclane tab
lets at meal times. They assist diges
tion, increase the nutritive processes
and give strength and flesh to such
people. Several months' treatment is
i essential to produce results.
"Secretary" writes: **l have pains in
my spine and frightful headache in
back of head, fainting spells, twitch
ing and trembling, nervousness, sleep
lessness, loss of appetite and strength,
and in fact am a 'has been,' when it
comes to performing accustomed work
and duties."
Answer: In all such cases the as
similative functions have not kept
place with waste functions and a pow
erful harmless tonic treatment is
needed. 1 tind three-grain cadomene
tablets unexcelled and astonishingly
beneficial in such cases and advise
them for you.
M. J. B. asks: "My hair is too oily
and my scalp itches with dandruff,
and of late it is combing out too much. ;
\\ hat is a good treatment?"
Answer: Obtain plain yellow ininyol
trom your druggist in 4-oz. jars and
apply HS per directions. This cleans, i
purities, cools and invigorates the hair
, and scalp, thus stopping the death of
the hair. Dandruff and itching are at ;
once relieved. Men and women all '
over the country now use it regularly.

followed by burning pain and am very
tender and sore over region ot blad- 1

, fully. Can hardly move when 1 awake
in the morning. Weakness, too, is a
symptom." *
Answer: I think if you will take
| balm wort tablets regularly for a few
weeks your kidneys and bladder will
become normal and such sypmtoms
vanish. This is unequalled for such
i complaints in my estimation.

Chairman Ramsey Serves No
tice to Members of the House
During Afternoon
Members of the House of Repre- I
sentatlves were told very bluntly
yesterday afternoon that they must
adhere to the order of bills on the
calendar or objections would be
made to coJlitTg up of every bill out
of Its place. Chairman W. T. Ram
sey, of the committee on rules, which
makes up the calendar, was Incensed
by the action of members skipping
all over a calendar of nearly forty
pages yesterday and after half a
dozen starts had been made on third
reading bills started to object to the
calling up of bills out of place.
Some of the bills were on the
postpbned calendar and were in
danger of being dropped unless ex
tension of time was granted and the
action of the chairman precipitated
a panic. Finally he agreed that he
would not object to calling up of
bills to move extensions or
nients after the business was over.
"This proposition or members call
ing up bills from any part of the
calendar makes all sorts of trouble,"
said the chairman. "We have the
calendars arranged for the orderly
dispatch of business and unless we
stick to them we will be hopping all
around. 1 shall object to calling up
bills out of order."
During the afternoon session Rep
resentative Fletcher W. Stltes, of

Montgomery Politics
Aired at Hearing on
Fourth Judgeship Bill
The Montgomery county political
pot boiled over yesterday at a public
hearing held by a special subcom

Committee in the Houp£ Caucus
Room on the bill sponsored by Sena
tor Croft which provides for a fourth
judge, at a salary of |7,000 a year,
in that county.
Strong opposition to The measuro
was voiced by Attorneys Nicholas
Larzelere and Montgomery Evan*,
both of whom declared that Senator
Croft had introduced It without the
knowledge or approval of the county
bar association.
This Senator Croft admitted but
he and several attorneys, including
Former Assistant District Attorney
Theodore T.ane Bean, of Norristown,
argued that a fourth judge was
urgently needed In the county in
order to expedite the trial lists
which were often dragged to an un
necessary length because the present
three judges had frequently to pre
side over more cases than they could
attend to.
