PALMER ANDPINCHOT
HAVE FIRST CLASH
OF THE CAMPAIGN
Democratic Candidate at a
Loss to Understand Rivals S
Unwarranted Attack on
Liquor Issue.

MERCER, Pa, Oct O.-Representative
A. Mitchell Palmer, Democratic nominee,
and Clifford Pinchot. Progressive non1i-
nee, for United States Senator, by night
fall tonight will be launched into the
thick Of attacks on one another, judging
by indications when Palmer and Demo-
cratic campaigners made the first stop in
their days tour of Mercer County here
at noon today
After the two had refrained from un-
pleasant references to each other from
the time the campaign opened nearly two
months ago Pinchot made the first break
when in speeches in Beaver County last
night he attacked Palmer on the liquor
Issue.
~ am utterly at loss to understand
Mr.. Pinchot's motives," said Represen-
tatlve Palmer on his arrival here today.
The suggestion that Pinchots attack
was due to pique because Palmer did not
retire from the race In his favor, the
Democratic nominee said ne was not yet
ready TO accept.
THE stand of the Democratic platform
on the liquor ISSUE" continued Mr.. Pal
mer, 'is perfectly plain All the DEM
ocratic candidates are pledged to that.
The platform declaration Is in favor of
local option and, of course, that includes
me.
what | have said from the beginning
still believe sincerely. Mr.. Pinchot can
not possibly win. The Democratic ticket
is the only effective organized instrument
with which the voters may defeat Penrose
and Penroseism for all timo, and Doctor
Lewis, Mr.. Pinchots colleague on the
Washington party ticket, recognizing this,
retired in favor of the Democratic can
didate, Mr.. Mccormick"
Representative Palmer in his address
here touched on the Plnchot matter only
lightly, but 1t is expected he will have
more to say about it at tonight's meet
ing in Sharon. Mr.. Mccormick, w. T.
Greasy, nominee for Lieutenant Cover
nor, and Charles ". Crosby, nominee for
ConEressman-at-lar also made short
addresses here.
Today, light day in the Democrat
intinerary, includes only stops in Mer-
Ger and Sharon.

 It is expected that the Jason will be decorated with Christmas trees. bunting and streamers when she starts on her voyage across the ocean. with Falmouth, England, as the first stop. It is likely that there will be some ceremony aboard just before the lines are cast off. Prominent men and women will be there to wish the Christmas ship godspeed.

How Thin People
 Can Put On Flesh
\ NEW DISCOVERY

Thin men and women, that big, hearty, filling dinner you ate last night. What became of all the fat producing nourishment It contained? You haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed from your body like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough nourishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over Your nutritiye organs, your functions of as-z similation. are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction.
 Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream rub-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those a single Sargol tab let. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight good solid pounds of healthy stay there" fat should be thss net result. Sargol, too, mixes with your food and prepares it for the blood in easily assimiiated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 to 25 pounds a month while taking Sargol, and the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are a scientific combination of six of the best hesh-producing elements known to chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive and Lee & Osgood and other dealers sell them subject to an absolute guarantee of weight increase or money back.
