DEALERS FORESEE
SHORTAGE OF TOYS
Declare Mechanical Sleeping
and Talking Dolls Made in
Germany Scarce.

A shortage of toys for next Christ
mas is looked for by local toy dealers
who say however, that no increase in
prices has been announced.
Mechanical toys from Germany will
be less plentiful. Dolls that close their
eyes and say mama" will be child's
gift parents will have to come early
to get Many of such things are made
in France, but most of the tops receiv
ed in this city are German made.
One of the stores carrying toys has
received notice of the shipment of the
first consignment. The owner made up
his order a few days after the Fourth
of July from samples the big jobbers
show in their New York and Chicago
houses. The jobbers usually buy most
of their stock after orders come in to
them in order not to be caught with
stock on hands.
The Germans have been manufacture
ing next Christmas toys since more
than a year ago and it Is probable that
most of the toys which are sold in this
country are made up four or five
months before the season opens,

grumbled Warren. "Forty-two, forty

A colored porter now appeared, took
Warren'S suitcase and helped Helen
up the steps.
The car was very different from the
ordinary sleeper. The aisle, instead OF
being in the center, was on the side,
with the staterOOm opening from it.
Throwing open the door of "12," the
porter switched on the lights.
How late can we sleep?" asked
Warren.
THE train gets in at ITO, sir, but
you don't have to be out till 1880
Would you like to be called, sir?'
Yes, you can call us at l."

closed after the porter "Why, it's fit

'On, this might be the washstand.'
Helen was examining a polished ma
hogany case, fitted into one corner.
"How does it open?"
Pushing her aside, Warren pulled
out the top, disclosing a wash basin
with running water. Above this was
small faucet marked ice water"
with a couple of folded paper cups in
tissue envelopes.
There was an upholstered bench, a
chair, and the walls were fitted with
nickel hoops and racks. Across the two
windows were the berths, as in the
old sleepers, but without the smother
ing curtains.
Dear, how much was this?" after
she had made an admiring survey of
the room.
/ ONLY ONE DOLLAR MORE
Five dollars from here to Boston
only dollar more than the sleeper
| Worth it, isn't it? Well, what do you
want me to do-vacate while you get

/ Yes, l won't be minute"
Helen was in her element Passion
ately fond of travelling, she enjoyed
every detail of her preparing for the
night in this stateroom. 1t was a de

was a real joy in opening up the suit
case and getting out her things.

HOW THIN PEOPLE
CAN PUT ON FLESH
A New Discovery

Thin men and women-that big,
hearty, filling dinner you ate last night,
What became of all the fat-producing
nourlshment it contained? You haven't
gained in weight one ounce. That
food passed from your body like I'M
burned coal through an open CRATE
The material was there, but your food
doesn't work and stick. and the plain
truth is you hardly get enough nour-
ishment from your meals to pay for
the cost of cooking. This is true of
thin folks the world over. Your nu-
tritive organs, your functions OF as
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 single Sar-
gol tablet. In two weeks note the diff
ference. Five to eight good solid
pounds of healthy, "stay there" fat
should be the net result. Sargol
charges your weak, stagnant blood
with millions of fresh new red blood
corpuscles-gives the blood the car
rying power to deliver every ounce OF
fat-making material in your food to
every part of your body. Sargol, too,
mixes with your food and prepares it
for the blood in easily assimilated
form. Thin people gain all the way
from 10 to Is pounds month while
taking Sargol, and the new flesh stays
put. Sargol tablets are a scientific
combination of six of the best flesh
producing elements known to chem
istry. They come 40 tablets to pack
age, are pleasant, harmless and mex
pensive, and Leo H. Fihe and all other
druggists in Richmond and vicinity
sell them subject to an absolute guar
antee of weight increase or money

and as Helen nestled closer he pushed
her away with a vicious shove of his
elbow.
Here, give me some room. will
you? My arms asleep now. This blam-
ed things too narrow. There-that's
better" as Helen shrank back close
against the window. Now stay there!
You've nothing to do tomorrow but
CAD around. I've got to work-and

MAKES FINAL PAYMENT
 ON $500 INDEBTEDNESS
Halle Club Free from Debt and Self

The Halle club members have just arrived at the goal towards which they have been aiming foi the last two years in completely paying off the bal ance of the debts approX1matlng Sl, 5o0 contracted in their name and for which they voluntarily assumed the respon- sibiIity a little over two years ago.
 Besides paying this debt, the club has been self supporting during tnis condition has existed since the organ ization of the club in 1907. This has
 been done, too, in spite of the fact
 that, following the change to smaller
 rooms in 1912, the club membership
 dropped from over 200 to 50. or this
 50. only about 30 are active, working members and it is by their efforts that the task has been accomplished that they took up in January, 1912, 1mme- diately after becoming aware of the existing state of affairs.
 At that time they sold all surplus furnishings and went into small rooms and from the proceeds of the sale were enabled to pay by pro rata distribution half the amount owed to creditors. A year later a second payment was made i in the same manner. 6 part or thf money having been raised by givine dances and suppers, and the rest by l popular subscription. The funds fol 1 this final payment were also earned by ! the girls, the result of suppers. sales ! and whist parties for members.
