Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A Physicians Advice


I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such a result is
not impossible, despite past failures
Thin people are victims of mal-nutrition.
a condition which prevents the fatty
clements of food from being taken up by
the blood as they are when the powers
Of nutrition are normal. Instead Of get
ling 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 pro-
duce healthy normal amount OF fat
the nutritive processes must be aTtifi-
Cially supplied with the power which ma
ture has denied them. This can best be
accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet
combination of six of the best strength
giving fat-producing elements known to
the medical profession. Taken With
meals, IL mikes with the food and turns
the sugars and starches into rich. ripe
nourishment for the tissues and blood
and its rapid effect is remarkable. Re-
ported gains Of from ten TO twenty-five
pounds in a single month are by no
means infrequent Yet its action IS per-
fectly natural and absolutely harmless.
Sargol is sold by the Jas. O'Donnell
Drug Stores and other good druggists
everywhere and every package contains
z guarantee Of weight increase or money
back.
Caution:IwhiIe sargol has produced
remarkable results in the treatment Of
nervous Indigestion and general stomach
disorders, il should not, owing to its
remarkable flesh producing effect. be
used by those who are not willing TO
increase their weight ten pounds or

Kill Every Fly and Save
Your Health

The death of one fly. therefore. is
a great boon to sanitation and
means a decrease in the mortality of
any community. The death of one
fly means a diminution of millions
in the total breed of the insect.
Two weeks are all that is needed
for a fy to pass from the egg stage
to a germ-carrying, irritating, intol-
cradle pest. The time to kill the
fly is before it develops into this
nuisance. This time is when the
mother fly is right in your house.
when the pest is on your premises,
when it merits death by buzzing
about your face and your food.
KILL THE FLY TODAY and
your health is assured tomorrow.

Enough flies to bury the entire

is to deposit these disease-breeders

lzaac Walton. Some excellent catches
Of bass were made, and a few perch

rising fishermen who failed missrably

rising and the trip to the banks of the
stream against the brisk fall-like
breeze.

seemed to be on the wane this morn

The following places bear the reputa-

bears its name because the fish are

films, people exquisitely dressed. After
seeing a show OF that kind, your young

content with the crease Of your trousers.
suddenly finds you addressed. You, too,
begin to see all sorts Of things you never
saw before"
Mr.. Shaw declared that inequality OF in
come had grown up without any sort OF
reason. Home people thought II justified
on the principle that industrious people
ought to have more money than idle
people. but the industrious man. in fact.
did not prosper. The more industrious
a man was the less he prospered.
Persons who have made a science Of
round OF idle activities which almost
wears them out, are the people who
never suffer from want Of income" con-
tinued Mr.. Shaw. I'VE already have a
stratlfied equality OF income"
Mr.. Shaw instanced the soldier who Is
taken into the trenches to face sixteen

You say to him Ny friend your he
roism Is going to be your own reward.
We will give you a pound a week and II
you die We will give your wife fve shiI-

''Stratas OF income correspond with
stratas OF society. Country squires and
astronomers associate with perfect ease
II their incomes are similar. So with
bishops and generals, though IL the
bishop really were in earnest about being
bishop he would not speak to the gen.
eral. Very often the bishop is a brother
to the general And another odd thing
Is that bishops are among the most pug
nacious people on earth and generals
the most peaceful"
