A Message To Thin,
Weak, Scrawny Folks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 80 Lbs. o,
Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh.

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men ana
women everywhere are heard to say,
Il can't understand why I do not get
fiat. eat plenty of good, nourishing
food" The reason is just this: You
cannot get fat, no matter now much
you eat, unless your digestive oreans
assimilate 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 assimilative func-
lions of the stomach and intestines to
absorb the oils and fats and hand
them over to the blood, where they
may reach the starved. shfunken, run
down tissues and build them up. The
thin persons body is like dry sponge
eager and hungry for the fatty ma
terials Of which it is being deprived
by the failure of the alimentary canal
to take them from the food. The
best way to overcome this sinful waste
iof flesh building elements and to stop
the leakage of fats is to use Sargol
the recently discovered regenerative
force that is recommended so highly
by physicians here and abroad. Take
la 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
Wilkinson & Co and other good
druggists have Sargol, or can get 1t
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
package, 1t is inexpensive, easy to
take and highly efficient
caution:-While Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in oyercom-
ing nervous dyspepsia and general
stomach troubles, it should not be
taken unless you are willing to gain
ten pounds or more, for it is won.

i WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Secretary
OF the Navy. Josephus Daniels, is anx.
fous that there shall be four vice-ad.
lm1rals of the Navy, and he will ask
the Congress to create those grades.
His idea is a good one, and the main
Purpose is, to give dignity to our Navy
cefore the world; so that when there
are international naval operations, as
now in the Gulf Of Mexico, the com.
manders of the American contingents
shall not need to take second rank TIC
the commander of any other fleet
Undoubtedly that idea will meet with
popular approval
But, little causes often operate to de.
feat great plans. Only one OF many
little causes defeated Blaine for the
presidency in 1854 Only one unex-
lPected deed, like that which defeated
Napoleon, snatched the presidential
nomination away from Champ Clark.
Commodore Schley should have
been made a vice admiral in 1898 i'm
,mediately after Santiago" said one OF
1.-THE leaders at the Capitol to-day.
Now II this matter should be carried
into effect, four men who never
achieved as Schley did, will be made
vice-admirals; and, moreover, it is
quite likely that they will be chosen
from that coterie of pigmies who
jhelped to make unhappy the last days,
iof the brave officer under whose com
mand the Spanish fleet was annihil-
lated"
Sufficient time has not elapsed to
heal the wounds which were produced
by the attacks upon Schley, after his
victory at Santiago. His friends
still live, and they will oppose the
creation of Vice-Admirals at the pres
ent time.
That opposition will come from SEN
|timent: but there Is another source
of opposition which is decidedly prac-
teal, and the secretary of the Navy
must meet it. Believing as he does

may find himself we'll equipped to re-

ABOUT VICE-ADMIRALS
expert at the Army and Navy club to-

expert at the Army and Navy club to-
! day:
I'VE need four battleships immedi.
ately. There is more need of them
than is need of four -Admirals.
Japan has insolently received with
popular acclaim the special envoy
sent there from Mexico 1t is not
difficult to comprehend that there was
secret understanding that the spec
ial envoy should be sent there, mainly
for the purpose of showing the general
hostility Of the common people of
Japan to the United States, and also
lsympathy for the government by as.
sassins at Mexico City.
Chile need not have made that ug.
lily demonstration against an EXPIRES
lident of the United States, because
all OF us who go to sea and understand
diplomatic conditions. know that Chile
lis hostile to this country and has been
for more than half century
Mexico has never been friendly to
the United States and would be graft
flied now If war should be declared by
our Congress. That would solidify the
people of Mexico; and 1t would give
an opportunity for foreign interven-
tion, with Japan and Chile ready to
step in.
Three nations on the Pacific are
ready to fly at our t1roats There
they are, and our people must under
stand the situation. When prepared,
We need not fear them, even if com
bined. But, we must have four bat
'tleships before we have four Vice
Admirals to command them"
That sort of opposition is not cap
|tious nor partisan. 1t is common
sense opposition. 1t is patriotic and
Ifar-seeing, and must be reckoned with
Secretary Daniels believes in two
battleships annually, But there are
many men of influence who earnestly
believe that this Nation should build
four battlesrips every year, until we
have Navy commensurate with our
population, territory, sea-coast and
wealth, the biggest Navy for the big
gest Nation on earth.
