To Put On Flesh
And Increase WEIGHT
A Physicians Advice

Most thin people eat from four to six
pounds of good solid fat-makins food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce. while on the other
hand many of the plump. chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all the
time. It's all bosh to saw that this is
the nature of the individual II isn't
Natures way at all.
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers of assimilation are defective.
They absorb just enough of the food
they eat to maintain life and a SEM
blance of health and strength. Stuffing
won't help them. A dozen meas day
won't make them gain single Stay
there pound. All the fat-producing ele-
ments of their food just stay in the in
testines until they pass from the body
as waste. What such people need is
food elements so that their blood can
absorb them and deposit them all about
the body-something too that will null
tiply their red blood corpuscles and in
crease their bloods carrying power.
For such a condition ] always recon-
mend eating a SargoI tablet with every
neal. Sargoi is not. as some believe
a patented drug. but Is scientific COM
bnation of six of the most effective and
powerful flesh building elaments known
to chemistry. II is absolutely harmless
yet wonderfully effective and q single
tablet eaten with each meal often has
thin man or woman from three to rive
pounds q week. Sargol is sold by Jas.
O'DonneIl Drug Store. and other good
druggists everywhere on a positive
guarantee of weight increase or money

DISTRICT BUDGET
GOES TO CONFERENCE
Congressman Page, Sisson, and
Davis Named to Support
House Provisions.

After permitting the measure tG
lie on the Speakers table for more
than two weeks. the House today
sent to conference the District ap-
preparation bill. which was materially
modified in the Sanate.
Because the Senate eliminated the
House provision. indirectly attacking
rhe half-and-half principle to require
all excess District revenues to be
turned into the Federal treasury. is
the chief cause for conference action.
Speaker Clark named as conferees
for the House Congressman Page OF
North Carolina. Sisson of Mississippi
and Davis of Minnesota. Mr.. Page has
previously declared that the bill will
be in conference "a long, long time
before the House yields on many of
the Senate amendments.
The District budget passed the Sem
ate some days ago. On measures
where a long fight is probable, the
House frequently plays the waiting
game. Indications are the District
budget may be in conference for sew
eral weeks. and the conferences are
likely to be laborious affairs.

The old-fashioned farmer who gov
erns his planting by the movements

bulletin just issued by the depart.
ment of agriculture declaring that
either the moon nor the planets have
the slightest effect on weather con !.

Plant your corn in the full of the

short Of sacred in many rural COM
munities is entirely disproven, ac-
cording to the departments bulletin.

says. "Thc temperature, as we know,

weather factor Another and equally

Still another important weather
factor is the direction and force Of
the wind, and this, too, requires heat,
for the winds will not blow unless the
temperature is different at one place
from what it is at another any more
than the air will draw up chimney
where there is no fire in it.
Since, then, the heating Of the
earth and it's atmosphere to differ

it follows that the moon and the plan

APPETITE FOR PIGTAILS

The sight of some freshly boiled
pigtails whetted Peters appetite and
he ordered one and then another and
still another.
II surely do love pigtails," remark
ed Peter as he wiped his blach NOUS
tache and started to leave the place.
"They are ten cents apiece" said
Sandoval. Peter shrugged his shoul-

were good but that he hadn't cen

World FAMED AVIATOR
MEETS DEATH AT PUEBLO
Under Contract Make Seven Flights in Durango During Fair Week.
Dropped Several Hundred feet While Making an Exhibition
flight this Morning al State Fair Grounds

Weldon Cooke, the worlds famous
aviator who had been engaged to
make series of flights at the Du-
range fair next month, was killed in
stantly in Pueblo at the state fair
grounds this morning at 1910 while
making an exhibition flight. When
several hundred feet above the ground
his machine, for some unknown rea-
son, collapsed and he was hurled to
the ground and to his DEATH
The FIRST news of the accident
reached here shortly before noon
when Secretary Cooke of the fair as
sociation, failing to get an answer
to a long distance call he had placed
for him, asked the telephone operator
to determine the reason. Shortly the
response came: aviator Cooke met
death on the Pueblo state fair grounds
this morning" In few minutes a
telegram came to Mr.. Cooke, pre-
sumably from the aviator's manager,
that the date for the Durango event
would have to be cancelled as Cooke
was dead.
Only yesterday Aviator Cooke ac-
complished new feat in aviation in
the west, cross country flight from
Colorado Springs to Pueblo, covering
the distance in, about an hour and n
half. His success was heralded from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Last evening, after the eventful
day President Jackson and Secretary
Cooke communicated with him by
telephone regarding the exhibition
flight here, and completed arrange
ments for the engagement. In the
course Of the conversation, he told
them of the wonderful success that
had wned his efforts and was
exceedingly enthusiastic about giving
an exhibition Of equal merit here.
This morning Secretary Cooke re-
membered one or two details for the
arrangement had been neglected in
the conversation last night, so placed
the call for him this morning, that
brought back the message telling of
his tragic death.
While the accident is greatly de-
plored by the fair association, it will
not prevent an aviation exhibition be-
ing given at the fall event, as the
directors are negotiating with the
Berger Aviation company who are
willing and anxious to fill an engage
ment here on that occasion.

preparations for the year and our
readers remember the liberal sum OBJ
tained for this district by Mr.. C. z.
Herr. Now comes the real history
of the scrap that has been going ON
for over year as to the route. TAX
ing it for granted that the East fork
route was practicable and the right
one, having been SO designated by
the old commission, it was decided to
construct the road by this route. It
will be. remembered that a mining
boom was on in the Platora district
and there was much excitement among
San Luis valley towns and desire
on the part of both Rio Grande and
Conejos counties to build roads into
the district. Through the activity Of
Alamosa people the Conejos county
officials had appropriated and con-
structed very good road q portion
Of the distance and going on the A.
sumption the people Of these counties
knew what they were doing the state
highway commissioners appointed Z
construction commission consisting Of
the chairmen Of the boards Of COM
missioners Of Rio Grande, Consjos
and Archuleta, to have charge Of the
work and construct the highway over
the range. In fact, the law gives the
state highway commissioners very 1T
tie discretion. They have no voice In
the expenditure Of the money after
designating the route. After work
was well under way the engineer in
charge Of the line was drowned In The
Conejos river. The construction com-
mission then, according to their paw
er, hired Mr.. Riley to succeed him.
Mr.. Riley then began an investigates
and in May year ago called . nssst-
ing Of the state highway commissioa-
ers when he submitted tracines and .
verbal report that the East fork routs
was impracticable-thAt the read
should go up the West fork Of ~
San Juan, being fully 20 miles sheet-
ter to the valley and costing nseh
less money. In fact. Mr.. Rilsy stae-

bronze wire conductors radiating out
like the ribs of ar inverted umbrella.
These are accurately balanced and
counterposed, and the radiating wires
are attached to insulators fastened
near the bottom of the mast.
For sending purposes dry batteries
of special make are supposed to
be used, but in case these are not
available small dynamo, coupled to
a pedalling arrangement, forms part
of the outfit.
With this a man can easily drive
the generator at speed of 1900 to
1 400 revolutions per minute, and so
provide a current of one ampere at
so volts, which is amply sufficient for
sending purposes.
The weight of dynamo and pedal
drive is 80 pounds and it is so ar
ranged that it can be carried by one
man by means of straps, which fasten
across the shoulders.
The transmitter and receiver, the
latter of which is Of the well-known
"head-dress" pattern, are designed SO
as to be as light as possible, and 1t
might be considered that a certain
amount Of efficiency has been sacri-
feed to obtain increased portability
and ease in erecting.
1t is interesting to note that the
wave length is about 1854 metres, with
coupling of eight per cent unvaria-
BILE, and the equipment can exclude
waves of five per cent variation.
The sending can be carried out with
great rapidity, and the transmitting
and receiving apparatus, without the
mast and aerial, weigh only eighty
five pounds.
