T, Still Dies in His 8oth Year. Kirksville, Mo., Dec. 12.—Dr. A, T, Still,, founder of the osteopathic school of medicine, died here today, 89 years old. Doctor Still began to elaborate his ideas of medical treatment in 1874 and organized the first class -in the study of osteopathy in 1892, he founded the American School of Osteopathy at Kirksville, from which six thousand men and women have been graduated and are now practic- ing in all parts of the world. There are now six hundred students at the school, Doctor Still, who was born in Lee County, Virginia; in -1828, was the son of a Methodist preacner and phy- sician. He first practiced medicine among the Shawnee Indians, He was elected to the Kansas Legislature in 1859 on an anti-slavery ticket, and served as surgeon in the Union Army.

Closing Net Upon Alien Slackers. Chicago, Dec. 15.—Thac a treaty will shortly be negotiated whereby alien slackers in America will ve compelled to enter the service of their country was the declaration of Judge K. M. Landis in a speech here, “Canadian slackers,” said Judge Landis, “are filling the jobs left by patriotic American boys. There are 500,000 British subjects in the conn- try, a great many of whom are elig: that the increased strength of the hostile] forces will result in any permanent strategic advantage to the Germans. “The raiding of German towns of the interior, more especially the in- dustrial, centers of the Rhine land, by Allied aircraft as reprisals for the ré- peated bombardment of .open towns in France and Great Britain by the Germans has been successfully in- itiated. “The reports of observers recently out of Germany, who were present in previous air raids, state these raids have had a very depressing effect on the civilian population and have heightened the growing discontent among the German people, who now for the first time are being’ brought face to face with real war conditions.” More Negro Soldiers to Trial.

Washington, Dec. 15.—Christmas cheer will be brought to thousands of homes whose bread winners are now in the army jor navy through the re- doubled efforts today of the Wa. Risk Insurance Bureau to make t first family allotment and allowance payments before Christmas day. Within a few days bushels of én- velopes _ containing Government checks for wives, mothers or other dependents will be dumped into the mails, to’act as material mesengers of.comfort to soldiers’ homes. The payments were due the first ot the month, but were delayed’ by the enormous crush of clerical work thrown upon a new and hastily or- ganized bureau.

FAT FOLKS LEARN HOW TO REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way. \ People who are over-burdened with superfluous fat, know only too well the discomfort and ridicule that. over- stout people have to bear. If you are carrying around 5 or 16 pounds of unhealthy fat you are un- necessarily weakening your vital ‘ore gans and are carrying a burden which destroys the beauty of your figure. There is no need of anyone suffering from superfluous fat. If you want to reduce your weight in a simple, safe and reliable way, without starvation, diet -or tiresome exercise, spend as much time as you can in the open air, breathe deeply and get from any good druggist a box of tassco; take one tub- let ufter each meal and @he before re- tiring at night. Weigh yourself once a weck so ag to know just how fast you are losing weight and don't leave off the treat- ment or even skip a single dose until you are down to normal, ‘Tassco is absolutely harmless, Is pleasapt to take, helps digestion and is designed to consume the excessive fatty tissue by increasing the oxygen- rrying power of the blood, Even a few days’ treatment should show a noticeable reduction in weight, foot- steps become lighter, your work seem asier and lighter and more buoyant feeling takes possession of your whole being. Every person who suffers from superfluous fat should give this treat- ment a trial, there is nothing better. OH MY STOMACH “I had stomach trouble so badly that nothing I ate would—digest as it should,” said Sadie I. Hamilton, Port- land, Me., as-she began a remarkable story of the relief she has secured from Argo-Phosphate, the new recon- structive, stomach tonic and system purifier, “Everything that I ate would lie In my stomach like a lump,” she ex- plained, “Gas would form and I would suffer distress all the time. I got sol could hardly eep anything down, “urying to get relief, I had my stomach pumped out, but even this did not help me as I continued just as bad. “I kept hearing so much about Argo- Phosphate that I thought maybe it might help'me and I decided to try it. . I have taken two bottles and to my surprise- I am already feeling fine. I can eat anything and I am not troub- led at all. “I am completely rid of my old stom- ach trouble that I had for three yegrs. ooo and the aggregate of insurance sought passed the $2,000,000,000 mark by $73,000. The average amount of insurance applied for was $8679. The maximum which may be obtained is $10,000. ; : f Have you Cothlone Skin Soap A ssc CAKE FREE I have not felt so well for years and I am certainly glad to endorse Argo- Phosphate because I want-others to be helped by this wonderful medicine.” “The spirit of wanting to help others is what makes suffering men and wo- men give these splendid public en- dorsements of Argo-Phosphate,” said a local druggist.
