UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
CHICAGO, Feb. 10. Speaker
Champ Clark and Senator John Sharp
Williams are cooperating with Presf-
dent Wilson in framing bill that
will appropriate $50 100000 to be
used for prevention of floods, this and
subsequent springs and for the relief
of flood sufferers. This was made
public here today by Edmund s. Per-
kins, president of the National Drain
age congress and a prominent DRAIN
age engineer.
while the precipitation up to date
has been bslow normal said Perkins,
sit is expected that snow and rain
from now on will bring it up to the
average by April i, and the usual
floods throughout the Mississippi val
ley will result. The immense amount
OF water that is poured every ysar

ICARELESSESS
CAUSES DEATH
Property Loss During Year Increase
Over 1912, Report will
Show,

Sixty-three persons met death in
fires in Iowa during the last year, &C
cording to the annual report which
has been filed by Ole o. Roe,
state fire marshal, with Governor
Clarke. or the sixty-three fatalities,
twenty.one were due directly or indi-
rectly to gasoline explosions. The
property loss by fires will show an
increase over 1912.
Careaessness is responsible for
practically all of the gasoline fires,
the marshal declares. He states that
some persons have discovered many
ways of being careless with this e9-
plosive and mentions particularly the
fire in Des Moines recently when |.
Waterman went to look for a leak in
gasoline tank with a lantern. The
explosion and fire which followed de-
stroyed $4,000 worth OF property.
In many other fires there were Sc
we're injuries to persons and twenty.
one deaths resulted The rapidly in
creasing amount OF gasoline being
used in Iowa makes 1t necessary that
the public be instructed how to handle
/ 1t, Mr.. Roe says.
According to the report which M
H. Byers, chief oil inspector of the
state, is making, the consumption Of
gasoline in Iowa increased 33 1-3 pei
cent within the last two years. II
1910 and 1911 the average amount o
gasoline used was 100000 barrels 8
year. During 1912 and 1918 it in
creased to 100000 barrels, or 1900,
900 barrels for the two year period
This increase is due to the fact thai
the farmers of Iowa have so man,
automobiles. Mr.. Byers asserts.

What Thin Folks Should
Do To Gain Weight
Physicians Advice for Thin. unde-
vcloped Men and Women.

y
Thousands of people suffer from ex,
cessive thinness, weak nerves and
feeble stomachs who, having tried adj
vertfsed fiesh-makers, food-fads, physi-
cal culture stunts and rub-on creams,
resign themselves to lifelong skinni-
ness and think nothing will make
them fat Yet their case is not hope
less. A recently discovered regener-
atiys force makes fat grow after
years of thinness, and is also I'M
equalled for repairing the waste OF
sickness or faulty digestion and for
Strengthening the nerves. This re-,
markable discovery is called Sarge.
Six strengthening, fat-producing eae-
ments of acknowledged merit have
been combined in this peerless prepa>
ration, which is endorsed by eminent
physicians and used by prominent
people everywhere. It IS absolutely
harmless, inexpensive and efficient.
A months systematic use of Sargol
should produce flesh and strength by
correcting faults OF digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fats to
the blood. Increased nourishment is
obtained from the food eaten, and the
additional fats that thin people need
are provided Wilkinson & Co. and
other leading druggists supply Sargol
and say there is a large demand for
| it.
While this new preparation has Civ
en- splendid results as nerVs-tonic
and vitalizer, 1t should not be used
by nervous people unless they wish to
/ gain at least ten pounds of flesh.
