HOW FAT FOLKS
MAY BECOME SLIM
Be Moderate in Tour Diet, Breathe
Deeply and Take a Little
Oil of Koreln
Fat folks, particularly those from ten
to twenty pounds above normal weight,
will be interested to learn that they
jnay easily reduce their weight without
istarvation diet or tiresome exercise.
If you ore fifteen or twenty pounds
above normal weight you are daily
drawing on your reserve strength and
are constantly lowering your vitality
bv carrying this excess burden. Don't
Jeopardize your health or bo the laugh
ing stock of your community any
■longer. .
Spend as much time as you can in
the open air, practice deep breatliiug
and got from any good druggist a box
of oil of kQiein capsules; take one after
each meal and one before retiring at
night.
Even a few days treatment should
'show a noticeable reduction ip weight.
Footsteps should become lighter, the
skin more firm and smoother in appear
ance, your work seem easier and a
lighter and more buoyant feeling should
take possession of your whole being.
Oil of korein is inexpensive, is abso
lutely harmless and is pleasant to take.
Any person who wants to reduce their
weight 15 or 20 pounds should give this
treatment a trial. You will probably
find it is just what you need.—Adv.

just as intoxicated when they are sober
as when they actually have an extra
large quantity of booze beneath their

Such was the cuse with this particu

neither the police, the train crew nor
other passengers were able to identify
the supposed "drunk." Anyway the
staggering John pretended that he
couldn't walk the chalk line, fell into a

the conductor sought hds ticket and
would not pay his t'are>
And to make certain the belief that
he really was drunk, the supposer ine
briate smashed the window with his
fist. Then the conductor wired ahead
to have a constable on hand by the
time the train arrived here. * The "cop
per" was on the job "lying in wait,''
so to speak and so was the "rummy."
As the train rolled into the station the
"drunk" jumped out of his seat, made !
a dash for the door and) was off with
the wind, having left the train from
the side opposite where the policeman
stood ready to nab him. He made good
his escape.

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises
Here in America there is much suf
fering from catarrh and head noises.
1 American people would do well to con
sider the method employed by the Eng
lish to combat this insidius disease.
' Everyone knows how damp the English
• climate is and how dampness affects
i those suffering from catarrh. In Eng
land they treat catarrhal deafness aud
1 head noises as a constitutional disease
1 and use au internal remedy for it that
> is really very efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear a
■ watch tick tell how they had their
, hea"ring restored by this English treat
ment to such an extent that the tick of
' a watch was plainly audible seven and
eight inches away from either ear.
i Therefore, if you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal
; deafness or head noises, cut out this
formula and hand it to them and you
I will have been the means of saving
, some poor sufferer perhaps from total
i deafness. The prescription can be
easily prepared at home for about 75c
. and is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 oz. of
Parmint (Double Strength), about 75c
worth. Take this home, and add to it
% pint of hot water and 4 ounces of
granulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take a tablespoonful four times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the inflamma
tion. and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure) on the drum, but to correct
any excess of secretions in the middle
ear, and the results it gives arc usually
remarkably quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in any
form should give this recipe a trial and
free themselves from this destructive
disease.—Adv.

EYEWITNESS TELLS HOW
FRENCH CAINED VICTORY
IN LES EPARCES BATTLE
Paris, April 18, 9.20 P. M.—"The
action by which we gained the military
ascendency of the entire west of Les |
Eparges on the evening of April 9 was
the culmination of a prolonged and
violent effort," says a French eyewit
ness in giving an account of the des
perate fighting which took place in
that vicinity. "It was a victory," he
continues, "analogous in the intensity
of offensive to that which took us to
the summit of Hartmaus-Weilerkopf
and more important if one considers
the forces engaged.
"The crest of Les Eparges is a long
spur with an altitude of 346 yards,
dominating to the east heights of the
Meuse and the immense plain of the
Woever. Its sides are abrupt and slip
pery and it is surrounded by numerous
streams. It frequently becomes, there
fore, a mountain of mud. The /;rest is
particularly important on account' of
its situation and in connection with
the developments of our future opera
tions its capture was indispensable.
A Long and Savage Fight
"At the beginning of the forward
movement the French were at the edge
of the villages of Les Eparges. A long
and savage fight to gain ground fol
lowed. The Germans at one time placed
two heavy batteries on the plains. A
number of successful actions finally
brought the French to the poipt of try
ing a decisive offensive. This began at
4 o'clock on the afternoon of April
5, with the capture of the western
summit as the oibject. It was raining
and the lighting began in a sea of
mud.
"In spite of a heavy fire from the
enemy's artillery and tlie fact that our
infantrymen hardly could lift their
legs out of the mire, the French ad
vanced steadily. After hand to hand
fighting the French installed them
selves every where in the German
trenches except to the east where they
were slopped by aerial torpedoes which
some times mowed down entire ranks.
The French who had been fighting
without cessation since the
day, finally stopped but resumed the
attack the next night when they
charged with fixed bayonets and threw
back the enemy.
Order to Carry the Summit
"On the seventh, covered with mud
and soaked to the skin, but victorious,
the French realized that since the fifth
they had gained 500 yards of trenches
and taken a hundred prisoner*, includ
ing several officers. The French now
approached their goal but when this
near on the seventh the enemy
counter attacked with heavy reinforce
ments. The French artillery was wait
ing for them however, and they were
mowed down as they debouched fr.om
their trenches.
"When daylight came the order -was
given to finish the task. 'We must
carry the summit,' was the word it
contained. Rain wns falling, rifles
were clogged with mud and the use of
bayonets was necessary. By midnight,
after most furious fighting, which last
ed uninterruptedly for fifteen hours,
almost all the positions belonged to us,
although the enemy still held a email
triangle on one side. Finally at 10 p.
m., on the 9th the entire summit was
in the possession of the French and
Les Eparges now belongs to us."

ABOUT HUMORED FIRE
(Correspondence of Associated Press)
London, April 7.—There was a rumor
in Lolidon the night of January 31 that
a serious fire had broken out in the
big government dock yards at Ports
mouth, but the government smothered
all inquiries with a prompt denial and
the censor eliminated all mention of
the matter from press dispatches.
It now appears that the fire was of
a very serious.character and came near
wiping out the docks and other valuable
properties at Portsmouth. The reST
extent of the damage is still carefully
concealed. It is the common belief in
official circles that the fire was the
work of incendiaries, presumably Ger
man spies.
To-day a carefully worded notice was
issued by the dock yard authorities of
fering a reward of SSOO "for the dis
covery of the incendiaries responsible
for the fire at the building slip sheds
the night of January 31."

tending prorogation of the payment of
commercial paper dating betore August
4, Minister of Finance Ribot states
that business activity has increased to
steadily since October that many firms
have not availed themselves of this
provision and 17,000,000 francs ($3,-
400,000) have been paid into the Bank
of France in settlement of obligations.
M. Ribot believes, nevertheless, that
in view of the fact that several French
departments still are occupied by the

TERRA COTTA
The Anicent Greeks Used It, as Did
Also Michaelaugelo
Terra eotta means literally baked
earth. Tt is usqally eriiployed as tho
it. meant only architectural oniiunents
made of baked clay. Vet Michaclangelo
made statues of it, the Japanese use
it cleverly painted as "imitation
bronze" for busis, tea jars and bowls,
and the ancient Greek children had
terra eotta dolls with movable legs
fastened by wooden pegs.
In the tuule to-day pieces of clav
work for architectural ornament over
eight inches square are called terra
eotta. Under that size they are called
ornamental brick.
The famous Delia Robbia ware of
Italy was of terra eotta covered with
opaque enamel and painted, England
used it much. From the time of Henrv
i VIII it was popular in lnrge buildings,
and since Queen Anne's day it has been
used for crnamenting smaller houses.
Terra eotta can be produced in a va
riety of colors, and, while rains leave
stone surfaces dingier, they brighten
surfaces made of the cloy. It is as
durable as stone; it can be produced
in more shades and colors; it can be
molded into a great variety of designs;
it can be given more delicate outlines
than stone; it is lighter than stone.—
