1t is easy to extinguish a little
fire if we get to it when just

and by far the safer and more
sensible plan to use every pre-
caution toprevent the fire.
The fine loss in the United
States is appalling. An official
statement recently issued said:
Imagine one long and continue
Gus street reaching from New
York to Chicago; imagine this
lined on both sides with fine bus
mess houses-and then amagine
a fire starting at one end and
sweeping everything in its path
to the other. The loss would
not equal that ocasioned by &C
cidental fires in the u nit e d
States every year.
1t is really our duty to take
such precautions IS we can, and
examining our chimneys at this
time of year is big precaution.
If you haven't already made
the necessary examination, do
so at once and see that your
fues and chimneys are absolute
ly safe. If you live up TO the
requirements of the insurance
companies there will be hut very

and tobacco to make up the revenue
deficit caused by prostration Of mari
time commerce as a result Of the
war, we're as good as settled today
at conference between Secretary
McAdoo and congressman. Attend
ing the conference with McAdoo were
Leader Underwood, chairman OF the
house ways and means committee
and Senator Simmons. They will
confer late this week with President
Wilson for executive approval OF the
war tax bill which will be brought
out by the house ways and means
committee next week If the present
program is adhered to. The war tax
bill will be given the right of way in
the house and hurried to the senate.
Final passage within a month is pro-
posed.
Secretary McAdoo today presented
statistics showing import revenues
from the countries involved in war
1t was agreed that the revenue loss
in duties will be at least $100,0OO,OO0
annually. Simmons is said to have
expressed the opinion that 1t might
reach s15O,O0O,OOO or even $20O,O0O.-
600. Whether the British-French-Bel-
gian-Russian allies or Germany, by
naval prowess gain control OF the
high seas, depends the probable loss
OF revenue-by resumption or total
cessation of Atlantic commerce.
American shipping under the new
registry bill is also factor In esti-
mated losses and American revenue.
Increase of the income tax was also
discussed today but it is not to be-
come effective until next July. A war
tax on beer, whiskey and tobacco is
considered more feasible for imme-
date revenues.

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase In Weight Ten Pounds or
Moro,
A Physlcian's Advice.

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and
stay that way" declares every exces-
sively thin man or woman. Such a
result is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims Of
NAL n utrition. a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements OF food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers of nutrition are
normal. Instead Of getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy normal, amount of
fat the nutritive processes must be
artifcially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating a
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol
is a scientific combination of six Of
the best strengthening fat-producing
elements known to the medical pro-
fession. Taken with meals. 1t mixes
with the food and turns the sugars
and starches into rich, ripe nourish-
ment for the tissues and blood and
its rapid effect is remarkable. Report
ed gains Of from ten to twenty-five
pounds in a single month are by no
means infrequent. Yet its action Is
perfectly natural and absolutely harm
less. Sargol is sold by Wilkinson &
Co., and other good druggists every
where and every package contains a
guarantee Of weight increas. or money
back.

duced remarkable results IN the treat.
