What Thin Folks Should Do
to Gain Weight
Physicians Advice For Thin, Un-
developed Men and Women

Thousands of people suffer from ex-
cessive thinness weak nerves and
feeble stomachs who, having tried ad
vertised flesh makers, food -fads, physi-
cal culture stunts and rub-on creams,
resign themselves to lifelong skinni-
ness and think nothing will make them
fat Yet their case is not hopeless. A
recently. discovered regenerative force
makes fat grow after years of thin
ness, and is also unequalled for re-
pairing the waste of sickness or faulty
digestion and for strengthening the
nerves. This remarkable discovery Is
called Sargol Six strength giving,
fat-producing elements of acknowl-
edged merit have been combined in this
peerless preparation, which is endorsed
by eminent physicians and used by
prominent people everywhere. It is
absolutely harmless, inexpensive and
efficient
A months systematic use of Sargol
should produce flesh and strength by
correcting faults of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fats to
the blood. Increased nourishment is
obtained from the food eaten. and the
additional fats that thin people need
are provided. Geo A. Gorgas and other
leading druggists supply Sargol and
say there is a large demand for ii.
While this new preparation has given
splendid results as a nerve tonic and
vftalizer, 1t should not be used by nerv-
Gus people unless they wish to gain al
least ten pounds of flesh.-Advertise

VERA CRUZ TENSION GROWS
Mexican Troops Showing Increased
Hostility to Funston's Soldiers
Clash is Feared.

Vera Cruz, Mex.-Friction between
outposts of the American forces here
and the Mexican command which
holds the passes toward the City of
Mexico which has been increasing of
late, became acute when efforts were
made to learn something of the fate
of a missing American marine who
disappeared off post.
Surmising that the missing man
may have been killed, as was Pri-
vate Parks, the American outposts
with the Mexicans have shouted ques-
tions across the lines. All the reply
they got was jeers. Orders have been
given that in no case must the Amer
leans be the aggressors if a clash
comes.
Up to a few days ago the relations
between the outposts have been rath-
er friendly than otherwise. Tobacco
and other conveniences have passed
between the pickets. In the last
week, however, steadily growing
feeling of hostility has been manifest
ed from Huertas troops and all
amenities have ceased.

RAILROADS WIN 700 MILLIONS
Supreme Court Decides Against
Governmental Oil Lands Case.

Washington, D. C.-Trans-continen
tai railways won their fight for title
to some 700 million dollars worth of
oil lands when the supreme court held
void the clause in the patents making
the land revert to the government il
found to contain minerals.
Justice Vandevanrer announced the
courts decision. The first point that
oil lands were mineral lands was de-
cided in favor of the government.
In every case before this court, .
said Justice Vandervanter, I'VE have
held that where the law says that
only mineral or homestead lands are
to be granted by the land officials,
the officials must do their duty of as
certaining whether that land came
within the law and that they could
not perform their duty by inserting
exceptions that the land should not
pass if found later not to be within
the law"
The court held that the patents were
irregular, but that they could not be
attacked collaterally-by other claim
ants-but could only be set aside by
a direct attack by the government ON
allegations of fraud.
Justice Vandevanter, for the court,
incidentally emphasized the claim
that the governments time in which it
could attack the patents had expired
in 1900 or 1901.
