T IARGK, by Arthur Christo-
pher Eenson That the essay
1 again being recognized and
demanded la the most hopeful
sign In the literary firmament
Once the vehicle of the moat
advanced and mature thought, the esiay
took the highest rank In literary excel
lence, but the demand for a more mod
ern and feverish mode of expression haa
for tome years relegated the essayist to
the shades of the pant. The essay Itself,
perhaps, had something to do with it,
for, as A rule it i3id not meet the de
mand of a newer, thought and s newer
- dispensation. . - -
Mr. Benson, however,' has seemed to
recognize this defect and in the collec
tion before us has brought his matter in
close touch with-the modern and exact
ing demands of an age pulsating with
life and activity, and whose attention
can only be caught, and held by the
things that are present and practical.
- He haa furthermore made the 18 essays
contained in "At Large" readable and
understandable. He- takes every day
experiences and emotions., such as con
tentment, travel, optimism, Joy, etc and
writes of them in a pjeasant, fluent
manner, and with an engaging literary
style, avoiding entirely the obtuse or
' grandiloquent phraseology that - sounds
the literary death Knell of bo many es
sayists. Mr. Benson possesses two
qualifications absolutely necessary for
the author of a successful essay, Vis.,
courage and humor; he has strength to
mt . what he thinks and tones it down
with the saving grace of humor. - That
he thinks too along the most advanced
lines of psychological research is. evi
denced in many passages throughout the
book, noticably so In the essay on "Joy.4
Mere, for instance, he says: "In hu
manity we have merely a certain por
tion of this large life, which may spread,
for all we know, beyond the visible unl-

spray of a fountain, into little separate
Individualities. Some of the argent In
explicable emotions which visit us from
'time to time. Immense, far reaching
mysteries, are, I believe with all my
heart, the pulsations of this vast life
outside us, stirring for an instant the
silence of our sleeping splrtt, It Is pos
sible, I cannot help feeling, that those
people lire the best of all possible lives
who devote- themselves to receiving
these pulsations. Why, then,
lastly. It may be asked, do these experi
ences befall us so faintly, so secretly, so
seldom: if it is the true life that beats
so urgently into our souls, why are we
often so careful and disquieted, why do
we fare such long spaces without the
heavenly vision, why do we see, or seem
to see, so many or our reiiows to wnom
suon tnincs come rareiy or not at aiiT
I cannot answer that; yet 1 feel that
life is there, and I can but fall back

who wrote: 1 know not how it is. but
the more the realities or heaven are
ciotned with obscurity, tne more tney
Aaliaht and attract: and nothlnr so
much heightens longing as such tender
reruaai. -
Most of Mr. Benson's subjects, bow
ever, are more earthly than this, , and
deal with the material more than with
the spiritual side or lire.
indeed the entire book appeals so
stronelv to the practical, and is so full
of strong wholesome! food for living, one
would never associate tne tnougnt or
the spiritual very largely with it.
It is a collection of essays, In short,
that must command a large circle of
thoughtful renders, and it is a volume

nearly sure to wake tip reallilng the
turth of what he has said,
i "Instinct and Health" is made up of
18 essays, or articles dealing with sub
jects of every day importance; of the
things that contribute So largely to the
health and happiness of the individual
yet are so common they receive little,
if any, attention from the ordinary per
son. , While these articles were origin

form" they have almost all of them pre
viously appeared in the most Important
magazines and periodicals, and few Of
the many people that have read, and
profited, by them but will be delighted
to have them In permanent form.
Dr. Hutchinson la a man who has
contributed much to science through his
pen, and is a student of deep research,
yet the theory upon which he invar
iably bases his opinions, may, in every
case, be simmered out to the statement
with which he opens a comparatively un
important chapter of the present book
when he says: "Reason is always trying
to play tricks upon Instinct, to teach
Its grandmother how to suck eggs, as
the old ear runs. Instinct is a old

"Judith of the Cumberland. i." by
Alice MaoOowan The story is evidently
written with a purpose the purpose -of
giving a Just, honest and faithful pic

environments, dialect and standards of
morality, as well as their viewpoint in
regard to the moonshiner and his writs

a lawyer, who returns to his native
land "The Turkey Track" to teach
his people the value of the law. Nat
urally his first attempt creates strife
and contention, and he finds himself
involved in numerous family feuds. An
incident, which will illustrate his diffi
culties, is iouna upon one occasion
when he settled a law suit, giving Judg
ment against a poor widow and then,
out of his own pocket, reimbursing the
widow to the amount of the fine, which
contrary to his expectations offends
ooin claimant and widow, and brings
troubles thicker and faster about him.
Judith, the nature woman. Is a strik
ing character sketch, and illustrates
most rorelbiy tne facts and fancies the
author wishes to bring out in her ap
preciative description of the people of
the Cumberland s. She Is a brave, pas
sionate and Jealous creature, with the
superstition that is natural to those
who constantly dwell amid the myster

"Carrie Who?" by MaxImWlan Foster.
In reading the book one is - almost
forced to believe a Dickens has risen
up among us, so Dickensesque if we
may coin the only word that seems suit
ableare the exaggerated descriptions,
the Intricate and complicated plot, the
grotesque but, withal, expressive names
such as Mrs. Plnchln, Mr. Gelkie, Mr.
Tollbee, etc., and the characters all so
extremely bad or good they seem
blocked out after ' the pattern of the
great novelist, except for a decided
stamp of originality that Mr. - Foster
has given them;, and then it is New
York and not London, and th heroine
Is an American. Instead of an English
girl...
Corrle is Introduced to the reader
when she Is a young woman of 19, liv
ing with' Mrs. Plnchln, ostensibly a
Mrs. Flnchln's companion, but Corrle
is always asking, "Corrle who?" or
"Corrle what?'' for she has no Idea who
she is or who Mrs. Plnchln is, or who
ny of the people are that frequent Mrs.
Flnchln's "Sunday evening social func
tion." Dim recollections of a big brick
house, a garden, a boy peeping through
a broken fence, fill Corrle' mind until
she is Impelled to find this house, and,
if possible, learn who and what she is.
At this point the plot beglas to de
velop, and a young architect, falling in
love with Corrle, takes a hand in un
winding themystery.
The book Is full of Intense human ac
tion and cannot fall to touch a chord of
sympathy for Its fine, appealing quali
ties, while the plot and romance Is so
compelling and full of Interest the
reader finds himself racing through It,
quite as much interested as the girl, to
learn "Corrle who?" or "Corrle what?"

The scenes shift from New York to

When later the prophecies for the
kingdom come true, when trouble, over

Why Is Fa!
Is It because one is bern' with the ten
dency? Or is it one of "life's trials," or
Is it due to Just plain, hearty appetite?
The doctors say not any one of these
phrases the question correctly. They say
fat IS because the fat person's digestive
organs are defective. Such organs, it
seems, don't change the fatty foods
eaten by stout persons into heat and
energy, as they should. Instead the
food fats pass on into the system un-
consnmed. Hence fat layers accumulate
under the skin In quiet spots, such as
the chin, abdomen, shoulder blades, etc.
Let that, digestive defect be corrected
and the formerly fat person goes back
to his or her original shape. You can
prove this on yourself. Seventy-five
cents will secure from your druggist
one of the large cases of Marmola Pre
scription Tablets recently licensed for
sale by the Marmola Company of 'De
troit, Mich. Take one of these tablets
after each meal and at bedtime and the
demonstration starts right there. Very
soon you will experience a new sense1 of
digestive comfort and a delightful feel
ing of Increased energy which should be
followed in due season by a gradual,
uniform decrease of your fat .
eat and drink as formerly; remember.
The tablets need no help .from either
