AN EASY WAY TO GET
FAT AND BE STRONG.

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on druggng their stomach or stufting
it with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
flesh creams" or following some fool
ish physical culture stunt, while the real
cause of thinness goes untouched. You
cannot get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat.
Thanks to a remarkable new seientlhc
discovery, it is now possible to combine
into simple form the very elements need
ed by the digestive organs to help them
convert food into rich, fat-laden blood
This master-stroke OF modern chems-
try is called Sargol and has been termed
the greatest of fiesh-builders. Sargol
aims through its re-generatiVe, Recon
structive powers to coax the stomach
and intestines to literally soak up the
fattening elements of your food and pass
them into the blood, where they are ear
ried to every starved, broken-down cell
and tissue of your body You can read
lily picture the result when this amazing
transformation has taken place and you
notice how your cheeks fill out, holloWs
about your neck, shoulders and bust dis
appear and you take on from 10 to 20
pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is
absolutely harmless, inexpensive, eff

Maine Boxer Is
Showing Good Form

Portland, Me, Dec. 10.-In the near
future, Young Hugo Kelley. the FORT
land featherweight boxer, who has
shot to the front like meteor IN the
past three months, will meet Tiger
Young, the former Hot Springs, Ark
boxer, at Augusta, in two SKIES. Young
recently fought a whirlwind battle
with Bay Wood at Augusta. Both
men have agreed to weigh in at l33
ringside.
Following this fight Kelley will box
at Pittsfield, Mass, where he has been
matched with Young Mcfarland, To-
cal boy. A big battle will be staged
at the Atlas when Kelley and Pete
Foley the military champion will CLASH
aeain. MANY fans think that just as
in the case of Sheppard, that while
Kelley may DUPONT. Foley in SIX
rounds, the Mckinley boxer can whip
Kelley in Il sessions.
On New Years night at the Atlas
Kelley and the much touted feather
weight, Gus Lenney, will meet in the
ring for six round double header
and this will be the big battle of the
season according to the present out
look. Lenney is one of the toughest
boys in the business, and Kelley will
have to travel on the high speed TO
get the verdict.
Kelley is getting into the fighting
game for fair, and it looks as though
no boxer in New England would De
any buster than the clever Portland
lad from now until the season ends
| Kelley has five fights booked from
now until New Years, with more be-
ing negotiated. He is following the
modern plan of all the leading metro
| politan boxers, who now keep in train
| ing with actual ring battles rather
than through the old method of long
training periods in the gymnasium.
Next Friday night, Kelley will meet
| Charlie Sheppard of New York in a
return battle, this time at the Atlas
| Club on Middle street. The men will
1 fight two six round bouts. When
/ these two boys met at the Victoria
j Club, recently, the newspaper verdict
went to Kelley for five of the six
rounds. Sheppard's friends, however.
generally believe that he can beat the
/ local miller in longer distance. 1t
/ should be one of the greatest bat
/ ties of the season.

Hancock Rescript.
HANCOCK COUNTY.

Clifton e. Dolliver VS.. Granite State
Fire Insurance Company Rescrlpt,
Cornish, J.
In an action to recover upon two
policies of insurance. dated respec-
lively December s, 1868, and December
10, 1911, issued for a term of three
years and covering farm buildings in
the town of Trenton, it appeared that
the premises were occupied at the time
tn policies were issued: that on Janu-
airy /. 1912. the plaintiff procured thir-
ty-day vacancy permits from the de-
fendant's agent. which expired Janu-
airy g. 1912; that the premises remain
ed unoccupied without the written as
sent of the defendant for period OF
more than thirty days after January 81,
1872 and until about June Is, 1872, when
workmen for the plaintiff entered into
possession and continued to occupy the
buildings up to the time of the fire,
which occurred, July %, 1912.
The policies being in the standard
form prescribed by the Legislature,
contained the following provision,
among others: This policy shall be
void if the premises hereby
insured shall become vacant by the re-
moval of the owner or occupant and
so remain vacant for more than 30
days without such assent; such as
sent having been previously defined as
in writing or in print of the COM
pany."
Held:
That contracts of insurance are
contracts of indemnity upon terms
and conditions specified in the policy
embodying the agreement of the par
ties, and if it appears that the insured
Las violated or failed To perform any
of the conditions of the contract. and
such violation or want of performance
has not been approved by the insur-
err then the assured cannot recover.
q That the plaintiff, in permitting
the insured premises to become va
cant by the removal of the occupants,
and to so remain vacant for more than
80 days after the assent of the COM
pany in writing or in print. violated a
condition of the policy; and by it's own
terms the policy was not merely sus-
pended during such vacancy, but was
thereby rendered absolutely void.
5. That the subsequent re-occupa
ton of the premises by workmen of
the assured did not revivify the pol
icy nor restore the plaintiff to his for
mer rights, as no act of the plaintiff
alone could have that legal effect.
4. That there is no sufficient evi
dence of waiver on the part of the de-
ferdant.
Judgment for defendant.
Received, Dec. 9, 1913.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Secretary Gar

field artillery" viii postpone his rec,
concentrations to Congress, but in the
meantime the troops will be garrisoned
in as practical a manner for mobiliza
ton as is possible.
Mr. Garrison discusses the militia at
some length. He says in part:
THE national Importance of a re
serve system for the Organized Militia
cannot be questioned. The minimum
strength at which militia organizations
are maintained in time of peace will
render necessary a great and immedi-
ate increase in a national emergency,
and this fact demands the presence of
q system Of reserves from which train
ed men may be secured for this in
crease. Without some such system, not
only win such increase be rendered ex-
ceedingly difficult, but even when ac-
complished the efficiency of the organi-
cations will have been reduced to a
minimum by the introduction of an I'M
trained element double in number the
trained personnel.
Proper organization as required by
the law is absolutely necessary if the
Organized Militia is to be counted on
as a dependable military Federal asset
In time of national need, and the or
CARNATIONS existing as such in name
only will be required TO complete their
component elements or lose Federal
recognition of their character as such
organizations. While there has been
small decrease in officers and enlisted
men in the Organized Militia during
the past year, this decrease has occur
red, in great part, as the result of the
elimination Of organizations found
hopelessly inefficient and is compen-
stated for by an increase in general eff
f1ciency. 1t is regretted that in target
practice the reports show but slight
progress during the year. This fact is
the more serious as rife prac-

Charles D. Woods, director of the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station, mere
makes public the following:
A little over a year ago there appeared
In this series an outline of experiments
being undertaken by the Maine Agricul-
t,,ra1 Experiment Station upon Highmcor
Farm TO study the effect of preparing
land by dynamite for field crops and for
orchard growth. The first years eX-
narienee with a crop of potatoes is here
given.
Laying Out the Plots.
An acre and a half OF land that mas
been In pasture for at least 20 years ana
is fairly uniform was selected and laid
out into three plots, five rods wide and
1e rods long The land has gentle slope
towards the north and east. The soil is
the usual medium stony loan common
on Maine hills The sub-soil Is OF the
same general character as the soil, shad-
ing into a fine, very resistant hard pan
containing both sand and clay. The soil
is quite retentive of moisture.
The third week In September, 1872 the
different plots We're prepared as fol-
lows: The upper, or southernmost plot,
was plowed and sub-seil plowed. The
middle half acre was prepared by boring
soles from 26 to Sc inches deep in the
soil and discharging a half pound stick
of 20 per cent dynamite in each of the
holes. This plot was subsequently
plowed. The third plot was prepared by
blowing. It is proposed to take the land
that is thus prepared and treat it all
n
binary crop rotation, and the same fer
tiIizers will be used and the same crops
grown upon all three plots, and records
will be kept of the yields. The rotation
on this field will probably be as follows:
1919 potatoes; 1914, corn; 1915 seeded to
grass with oats; 1916, grass.
The object of the experiment is to see
whether the original preparation of the
land by explosives and by sub-soil plow-
ing will have effect upon the quality and
yield of the succeeding crops and if so
how many years the effect can be noticed
The three plots were planted May Is
and q, 1913, with Lowell strain Green
Mountain potatoes. Twelve hundred
pounds of 4-s-7 fertilizer to the acre
were distributed in the hills. Rows We're
90 inches apart and the seed dropped at
intervals of six inches The seeding was
at the rate of 20 bushels per acre. The
plots were distinguished by symbols as
follows: Plot A. plowed and sub-soil
plowed; Plot B, prepared with dynamite;
Plot C, plowed in the usual way.
Plot A showed the first green leaves
