SAYS A GLAS OF HOT WATER EVERY MORMNO BEFORE BREAKFAST WILL TAKE OFF FAT IF TOU GET MOEE FBESH AIE. Be Moderate in Yonr Diet and Rednee Yonr Weight With Tassco. Lack of fresh air weakens the oxy gen-carrying power of the "blood, the liver becomes sluggish, fat accumu lates and the action of many of tho vital organs are hindered thereby. The heart action becomes weak, work is an effort and the beauty of the figure is destroyed. Fat put on by indoor life is un healthy and if nature is not assisted in throwing it on by increasing- iae i oxygen-carrying power of the blood. I a serious case of obesity may result. I When you feel that you are getting i too stout, take the matter in hand at j once. Don't wait until your figure has j become a joke and your health ruined j through carrying around a burden of I unsightly and unhealthy Tat. Spend as much time as you possibly j oan in the open air; breathe deeply, ! ana get irom .Newnerry urug a. box of tassco, take a glass of hot water every morning before breakfast then take tassco after each meal and at bedtime. Weigh yourself every few days and keep up the treatment until you are down to normal. Tassco is absolutely harmless, is pleasant to take, tel";:s the digestion and is designed to in crease the oxygen-carrying power of the blood. Even a few days' treatment should show a noticeable reduction in weight. There is nothing better for obesity. _X>L0EE1> FE0PLE CELEBRATE ii EMANCIPATION DAY HERE t j The colored people of Newberry a leld their annual exercises of the | s mancipation proclamation celebra-; * ion in Bethlehem Baptist church.
