JESSE N. COUCH.
CARRIES SMALL ARMY
OF HOTEL EMPLOYEES
TO WRIGHTSVILLE
With an army of hotel employees
carefully recruited in Atlanta, Jesse N.
Couch, for several years manager of the
Majaetic hotel and previously in a simi
lar capacity with the Aragon, leaves to
night for Wrightsville Beach, N. C.. to
take charge of the big Oceanic hotel.
Mr. Couch spent the past ten days at
Wrightsville getting things in ship
shape for what promises to be the most
brilliant season the resort has ever
known. Atlanta will be well represent
ed among the thousands who will go
there during the season. Already many
have been booked, and Harry L. Dunn,
booking agent, will arrive in Atlanta
today to continue the work.
The Oceanic will be formally opened
June 1, and its season will last until
November 1. Many new features will
a.aik it. A new dancing pavilion will
be in use for the first time, and bowling
Hlleys, motorboats, pool tables and
board walks will be among the half a
hundred amusement offerings of the
hotel. An outdoor case has been
equipped, and a high-class woman's
orchestra has been engaged.
Jesse Couch is one of the ablest and
best known hotel men in the South, and
his popularity with the local and travel
ing public forms a basis for the predic
tion that he will have a most successful
season at Wrightsville.

FRANCE BREAKS
WITH THE CZAR
PARIS. May 17. -Diplomatic relations
between Russia and France have been
broken off. Premier Kokolsoff, of Rus
sia. has demanded the recall of M.
Georges Louis, F i nch ambassador to
St. Petersburg.
Il is likely that France will lake simi
lar action in reference to Ambassador
[General Sasanoff. the Russian envoy
] here. The situation is decidedly acuu
and the relations of the two countries
1 greatly strained.
; According to a statement published
by The Echo today, the crisis war
caused by the failure of M. Louis to
make sufficiently clear to the French
government Russia's proposals regard
ing mediation in the Turko-Italian war
and maintenance of the political en
tente cordiale in the Far Ea«t.
Efforts are being made today to have
Russia withdraw her demand for M
Louis' recall.
FAT MAN REDUCES MORE
TUAN 100 POUNDS
Without Drugs, Exercise or Starving—Tells How He Did It.
“Philadelphia’s Champion Fat Man.” as
he was called by most of his friends, has
been giving those same friends the jolt
of their lives. While all were deeply sorry
for the enormously fat semi-invalid whose
fat was such a burden he could hardly
walk, yet they were wont sometimes to
call him a “patent medicine fiend” on ac
count of his well-known penchant for
spending his money on various advertised
“fat reducers" and quack nostrums which
always seemed to increase rather than di
minish his size. Finally he lost pa lienee
with all these and declared that he was
through with such methods forever and
was going to try one he bad discovered
himself, largely by accident.
Not long after, his friends were startled
10 behold a most remarkable change in
his appearance. His fat began to vanish
at an incredible rate, and those who knew
him could hardly credit the evidence of
their own senses when, only a few weeks
from the time he began to dwindle away
at the rate of a pound a day. he an
nounced that he had lost 100 pounds, could
stop reducing any time he wanted to and
proposed to reduce a few more pounds
just so he could say his weight was ex
actly the right weight for his height
Dr. F. Turner, the man referred to above,
was seen recently and said that since
he reached normal weight of 150 pounds
(from 254) his fat has shown not the
slightest tendency to return. He ex
plained in detail the method he used, and
while space will not permit a fill’ de
scription of ii here, announcement is
made that all of the stout readers of the
Magazine of Mysteries can obtain the
information free of cost. The method is
highly scientific and requires the use of
no drugs, medicines, exercises, starva
tion diets, apparatus, purging, sweating
or anything weakening in any way. it
could not possibly harm even a child or
an invalid. Not content with reducing
his own weight Dr. 'Turner had several
Atlanta Elks to See
Western Wonders On
Trip to Convention
The Atlanta lodge of Elks will send a
delegation to the national convention in
Portland, Oreg., on a special train from
New York, with Brooklyn lodge No. 22.
No definite date for leaving Atlanta
has yet been decided on, but the one
most likely to be selected is July 3. I he
delegation will arrive in Portland on
July 8.
The business of the reunion will
probably be concluded by July 12 anil
the party will then engage in a series of
eight-seeing tours, to include a fiveday
stay at Yellowstone Park, a trip to the
Grand Canyon of Arizona. Colorado
Springs. Pikes Peak. Cripple creek, the
Garden of the Gods and other, places of
interest.
The return trip will embrace some of
the largest cities of tn-- West. The At
lanta party will probably number about
25. Members desiring to take the trip
must send in their applications by
June 1.
of his friends try the method, some of
these triends being in far distant cities
After using the method Mr. .1. \V. Moore
at Monticello. Minn., wrote "I have lost
I'o pounds. Pains around the heart are
gone." Mr. 11. E. Purdell of Gloversville,
X. Y.. wrote "My weight for 21 days was
reduced 22 pounds." Mrs. Elizabeth New
kirk. Mt. Carmel. 111., wrote "Lost 15
pounds in 9 days.” Mr. Thomas Lock
wrote "I have lost 36 pounds and can lace
my shoes now, something I have not done
in ten years.”
In all. more than 100 persons have al
ready written Dr. Turner of their suc
cess in losing from 20 io HO pounds of
fat by using this recently discovered
method of weight reduction. Not a sin
gle one of them failed to obtain highly
satisfactory results. Dr. Turner feels that
if he can say not one hundred wrote him
but five hundred or even a thousand have
found his method successful, then no one
will doubt his word when he says it is
practically infallible and never fails. t'n
til such time Dr. Turner, whose present
address Is Suite 603 N Clark Building. Syr
acuse. N Y.. announces hfs Intention to
send full particulars absolutely free to
any of our stout readers who are suffi
ciently interested to write him at above
address and simply enclose 2-cent stamp
for reply. The more fat you are the more
welcome your letter will be to Dr. Tur
ner. He is particularly anxious to have a
man or woman weighing from 400 to 500
pounds reduce to normal by using his
method, such reduction to be effected by
Dr. Turner entirely without expense to
the stout person in question. Dr. Turner
has agreed to hold tills offer open to out
readers only during the next ten days,
when it will be withdrawn if lie secures all
the replies he desires. So if you desire
the free information offered you are urged
to write at once, before it is too late to
obtain It free of cost, and yon can then
learn how to begin immediate reduction
of your weight.
