To Put On Flesh
And Increase WEIGHT
A Physicians Advice.

Most thin people eat from four to six
pounds Of good solid fat-making food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce. when on the other
hand many Of the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all the
time. It's all bosh to say that this is
the nature Of the individual. It isn't
Natures way At all.
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers Of assimilation are detective. They
absorb just enough Of the food they eat
to maintain life and q semblance OF health
and strength. Stuning won't help them.
A dozen meals a day won't make them
gain single stay there pound. All
the fat-producing elements OF their food
just stay in the intestines until they pass
from the body a. waste. What such peo-
pie need Is something that will prepare
these fatty food elements 30 that their
blood can absorb them and deposit them
will multiply their red blood corpuscles
and increase their blood's carrying power.
For such . condition always recon-
mend eating Sargol tablet with every
meal. Sargol fs not, as some believe, q
patented drug, but IL q scientific COM
bina ton Of six Of the most effective and
powerful flesh building elements known
to chemistry. It Is absolutely harmless,
yet wonderfully effective and q single
tablet eaten with each meal often has
the effect Of increasing the weight OF a
thin man or woman from three to five
pounds a week. Sargol il sold by Arnold
Drug Co, 523 Kansas ave-, and other good
druggists everywhere On a positive guar

THE FUNDAMENTS OF DRAINAGE ARt
EXPLAINED BY GOVERNMENT ENGINEER

The following is an abstract of re-
marks by Nathan C. Grover, chief
hydraulic engineer, United States
Geological Survey, before the drain
age congress at Savannah, Ga, the
week of April 25, 1914: The nation
must seek it's additional domestic
supply of foodstuffs by retaining it's
waste areas and by cultivating more
extensively all it's agricultural land.
The drainage of swamps will be as
effective as irrigation of deserts in
increasing the area of arabic land.
The failure of some of the private
or state irrigation projects for which
public lands have been segregated is
full of pathos, and the final record
of some of the failures has been
filled with tragedy for the thousands
who have suffered financial ruin.
Most of the failures could have been
foreseen and averted by an honest
and thorough consideration of funda-
mental factors, but the desire for
gain was too great and caution was
thrown to the winds.
In starting the new form of ma
tional activity which is now pro-
posed-the drainage of swamp lands
"a serious attempt should be made
to put the work on a sound basis and
to avoid as far as possible the mis-
takes made in irrigation. Irrigation
a~l ro hnvro ~,,,ab IN on
and are liable to practically the same
dangers-in fact, in many localities
not only in the west, but in the east,
drainage must be accompanied by ir-
rigation. General methods for financ-
ing and managing drainage projects
having been devised, the data neces-
sary for designing drainage system
may generally be collected in such
a field survey as can be made within
a period of a few months, except as
which the canals must be designed.
This last determination, however,
involves the collection of records ex-
tending over long periods. No such
determinations have been made, S 70
far as I am informed, for large
swamp areas in the southeastern
states. Designs for drainage con-
struction have had no other basis
than general records of precipitation
and evaporation. and the result has
been that drainage systems have been
designed and partly constructed with
insufficient capacity to accomplish
the desired results. Disappointment
NAV follow for thousands of small

Commissioner George T. Mills of the

poultry, pet stock and children's
pets. dates for the exhibition of
which are in November and Deem
Der. Assurance is given by Mr.. j.
d.. Graham, assistant chief of the de-
partment of live stock, that all nee
essary space will be allowed for the
exhibition of pure bred live stock.
An effort will be made by Commits
sioner Mills and Superintendent Zeb
Kendall, however, to arrange for the
exhibition of at least one car load of
grade yearling, two-year-old and
three-year-old beef steers. in the pro-
ductiOn of which it is conceded Ne

purchasers of land who have been
assured hat the land would be speed
lily drained.
The failure of one project will have
it's baneful effect on all. and the fail
ure of a considerable number will
make the financing and colonization
of others impossible. The result will
be a situation like that which is to-
day preventing the financing and col
onization of irrigation projects, in
which the intrinsic sOundness and
value of individual projects will be
completely lost sight of in the gen
eral distrust caused by the failure to
recognize the fundamental factors
controlling all such developments.
Let us profit, then, by the expert
ence of others and see that drainage
work is started in a safe and sane
way. Let us first obtain reliable
data in regard to the quantity of
water that must be removed from
the land.
Several years should be devoted

mental factor before there will be
assurance that the records cover the
ordinary range of conditions caused
by fluctuations in precipitation.
The measurement of run-off need
not and should not wait until ar
rangements have been made for fl
nancing and managing drainage
works but, because of the long time
required, should be begun at once.
In other words, such preliminary
data should be collected that the &C
tual work of development may imme-
diately follow the passage of a ma
tional drainage act. in the same way
that the prior collection of stream
flow data by the Geological Survey
made it possible to begin the con-
struction of irrigation projects i'm
mediately after the passage of the
national reclamation act.

TRAP SHOOTING EVENT

Ralph l.. SPOTS of New York City.
crowned his trap shooting career by
winning the Ninth Annual Trap
Shooting Championship of the United
States from a field of 134 gunners,
over the traps of the New York Ath-
letic club at Travers Island, Satur-
day, April 25th.
Mr.. Spots not only won the cham
pionship, but broke the record for
the shoot with 1888 out of a possible
20 targets, shooting Arrow shells
throughout. Mr.. SPOTS also won the
preliminary shoot on Friday. This
was another record, as it was the
first time in the history of the event
that the same gunner had won both
shoots.
The new champion has been shoot
ing for about six years n this is
the third year that he has tried fol
national honors. In 1913, Mr.. SPOTS
| who was a member of the American
Olympic team in 1912, captured the
preliminary shoot and finished third
in the championship event.
