A Message to Thin,
Weak, SCrawny Folks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 80 Lbs. of
Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say,
Il can't understand why / do not get
fat. eat plenty of good, nourishing
food" The reason is just this: You
cannot get fat, no matter how much you
eat, unless your digestive organs as
simulate the fat-making elements of
your food instead of passing them out
through the body as waste.
What is needed is a means of gently
urging the assimiative functions of
the stomach and intestines to absorb
the oils and fats and hand them over
to the blood, where they may reach
the starved shrunken. rundown it's
sues and build them up. The thin per-
sons body is like n dry sponge-eager
and hungry for the fatty materials of
which it is being deprived by the fail
ure of the alimentary canal to take
them from the food. The best way to
overcome this sinful waste Of flesh
building elements and TO stop the leak
age of fats IS to use Sargol, the re-
Gently discovered regenerative force
that is recommended so highly by ply
sicians here and abroad. Take a little
Sargol tablet with every meal and
notice how quickly your cheeks fill out
and rolls Of firm. healthy flesh are
deposited over your body. covering
each bony angle and projecting point.
Bowditch- Webster Co. and other good
druggists have Sargol, or can get it
from their wholesaler, and will refund
your money if you are not satisfied
with the gain in weight it produces as
stated on the guarantee in each pack
age. 1t is inexpensive, easy to take
and highly efficient.
Caution-While Sargol has produced
remarkable results in overcoming
nervous dyspepsia and general stom-
ach troubles, it should not be taken
unless you are willing to gain ten
pounds or more, for it is q wonderful
flesh builder.-Adv.

Gently Assisting Nature

Those who find their breath bad in
the morning, bad taste in the mouth
a coated tongue, mean feeling in the
new laxative.
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. 1t is condition which,
if not corrected. becomes chronic.
Even chronic constipation can be cor
rected by care in the diet and persis-
tent treatment with a gentle laxative.
The use of harsh laxatives, unfortu-
nately so common, gives temporary re-
lief but in the end aggravates con-
stipation. Pinklets are dainty, sugar
coated pills, hardly larger than a
mustard seed and they act gently,
causing no nausea or gripping. They aid
digestion and are a good after dinner
pill, especially when more food has
been taken than the needs of the body
require. They clear away the waste
and prevent congestion. With little
persistence, which the result is we'll
worth. they really correct chronic con-
stipation

FOR HOME CLASSES IN PRACTICAL
FARMING AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE

Washington, Aug. "a plan where
by ten or more farmers or farm wo-
men can form home classes in agricul-
ture or domestic science and receive
the textbooks, lectures, lantern slides,
laboratory and cooking equipment nee
essary to conduct them has been de-
vised by the L. S. Department of Ag-
riculture in cooperation with Agricul-
tural Colleges of certain States.
The object of the plan is to make ac-
cessible at home, to men and women
who have not the time or means
to attend the regular courses at the
colleges, practical short courses in ag-
ricuiture and home management spec
tally adapted to their districts. These
courses which will consist of Is to 20
lectures, and will consume five or more
weeks, can be arranged to suit the
spare time and convenience of each
group of people.
The courses to be offered at first are
poultry raising, fruit growing, soils,
cheese manufacturing. dairying, but
ter making, and farm bookkeeping;
and for the women especially, courses
in the preparation, cooking and use of
vegetable and cereal foods. The de-
partment will supply lectures and Ian
tern slides covering these subjects,
and the States which have agreed to
CO. operate in the plan will lend to
each group laboratory and cooking ap-
paratus valued at 500 and a reference
library. The textbooks and lectures
will be made so complete that each
group can safely appoint one of its
members as study leader to direct the
work of the course.
When a group has decided to take
up the work, the State which cooper
ates sends an agent with the Depart
ments representative to organize a
sample class and assist the leader
whom they elect in laying out the work
and in showing him the best methods
of procedure. The classes commonly
arc held from s to II in the morning
and from l to in the afternoon, two
or three days each week. The sessions
are not held every day, so that the
mem bers will have time to attend to
their farm duties in between the ses-
sionS, as we'll as before and after the
instruction period. The classes meet
commonly at the most convenient farm
house. During the morning hours,
textbook work is done. In the after
noon laboratory work is conducted, and
the women who have elected to take
the domestic science courses have
practical lessons in cooking.
AS soon as class is established,
the State organizer withdraws to start
a class in some other district. The
work thereafter is left in charge of
the leader, who receives assistance by
mail from the college or the Depart
ment in carrying on the work.
AS there is no regularly paid instruc-
tor, classes can be carried on all over
the State as rapidly as the college or
ganiser can visit the groups, and as

Two disastrous fires resulted from

lightning struck the barn of Audrey

Not all of the States have yet agreed
to cooperate in this plan. Last winter
experiments along these lines We're
carried out successfully in Pennsylvan-
ia, and this has stimulated an inter-
est in the method in other States. In
one of the Pennsylvania classes more
men applied than could be accommo-
dated, and all of the 20 men and Is
women who began the course complet-
ed it. Pennsylvania is now arranging
fer more classes, while Massachusetts,
Michigan, Vermont and Florida expect
to take up the work. Other States such
as Maine, New York, New Jersey, and
Delaware have signifed their willing
ness to cooperate.

For financial reasons, certain colleges
are not so able TO engage in the work
as are others.
The advantage claimed for the new
home courses with local leaders and
laboratory equipment over the ordina-
Ty correspondence courses is that only
a small percentage of those who take
the individual correspondence course
finish it. Studying in a group, with lab
oratory work and a leader, seems to
stimulate the interest and add Il social
feature which lead the members of the
group to follow the work conscien-
tiously and complete it. Experiments
with free correspondence courses show
that while many individuals gain ad-
vantage from them, many others, be-
cause the material is furnished free

complete them as they do when they

DO MODERN DANCES
MAKE WRINKLES?

1t is strictly a newspaper notion that
because the dances of the day are siren
uoas they develop signs of age. Worry
and carelessness may make wrinkles, but
the activity of clean dancing never.
Wrinkles are due more to improper care
q the skin. neglect and too strenuous
mental activity. They may be avoided or
cured by using a simple protective and
stimulative vegetable cream jelly before
retiring. Just get one ounce of almozoin
from yo;r druggist-dissoIvei it in 1-2 pint
of water and, before retiring, cover the
wrinklei surface with this cream, which
dries quickly and both protects against
