I WAS FAT NOW I ONLY WEIGH 130 POUNDS Took Off 50 Pounds in 8 Weeks — No Diet, Exercises, Creams, Dangerous Drugs or Worthless Reducing Girdles. Latest French Way to Take Off FAT— It's Safe and Lasting "Dear Fat Folks: Let me tell you the truth about fat. Do not be fooled by believing you can check a fatty condition in your system by going through weakening diets, strenuous exercises, rubbing your body with creams or lotions or by using any of the old _ ways of reducing. If these were effective, THERE WOULDN'T BE A FAT MAN OR WOMAN IN THE COUNTRY today, as diets, exercises, creams and old remedies have been tried for years. Do not think for a minute that you can take off fat by wearing so-called reducing girdles — it cannot be done. I personally know the horror of being fat — I went through it. Not only did I feel ashamed of my figure, but, worse still, I never was well or happy like the rest of the girls — -I always had pains in my back or limbs, my feet ached, mv head was dizzy — ALL THAT BECAUSE I WAS OVERTAXING MY FRAME WITH 50 POUNDS OF EXCESS FAT WHICH NATURE DID NOT INTEND FOR ME TO CARRY. I had spent a small fortune trying everything known to reduce, but never succeeded until one day I met a French Scientist who had devoted his life to the study of'fat forming cells' in the human body; he found out how to check these and how to turn any fat man or woman into a normal regular size person. Thanks to his advice, I easily and safely lost 50 pounds in eight weeks, and I improved my looks and health 100%. I want every one of you fat people to do the same. Since I have explained my discovery in this country I have literally been swamped with letters of thanks from men and women who have taken off from 10 to 80 pounds of excess fat.

Advertising Section Critical Paragraphs About New Productions (Continued from page 101) Married Flirts A lesson in morality is served up in this picture. For it tells of badly balanced marriages — of women who flirt with other women's husbands — of women who make careers and break their hearts. The film is adapted from Louis Joseph Vance's novel, Mrs. Paramor, and features a vamp who wins another woman's husband. She casts him aside and marries another man. And the outraged wife proceeds to adopt the same tactics. She vamps the vamp's husband. A quartet of players, Mae Busch, Pauline Frederick, Huntley Gordon and Conrad Nagel, succeed pretty well in making it entertaining. The Great Diamond Mystery C^reat effort is made to build up a line of mystery in this picture, the plot of which doesn't warrant it. One looks for a story within a story when the heroine has a murder mystery tale accepted by a publisher. But it soon loses contact with this thread and develops around this very heroine attempting to prove the accepted theory that a murderer returns to the scene of his crime. Several convenient devices and loose ends are uncovered which tend to destroy the unity of the plot. One surprise is offered. The director does not show a last minute chase with the governor saving the youth with a "nick o' time" pardon. Shirley Mason is the star — and William Collier, Jr., the innocent boy she saves. I Roaring Rails t's good, old-fashioned, primitive melodrama that is with us in this Harry Carey number. The star instead of driving a horse of flesh and blood drives an iron horse in a picture which calls upon every conceivable element to bring forth unadulterated action, suspense, thrills, heart interest and sentiment. Villainy is painted in the deepest-dyed colors — and virtue wears a halo. The action comes right out in the open and tells of a locomotive engineer who permits his train to plunge over a bridge while rescuing a youngster from falling out of the cab. Discharged, the engineer becomes a hobo — and takes the kid along with him. And the tramp wins back a job, saves the (Continued on page 124) «°kiiurr Yes, We Will Positively Ship You this splendid Underwood upon receipt of only $3.00.
