desire to serve well both the state and the Dem
ocratic party.
Under the Cook rule Crawford soon realized
that the Democratic party was the Taggart ma
chine and the best interests Of the state were
measured solely from the standpoint of the best
interests of the machine. He arose in revolt
against such condition of affairs and was
promptly snubbed, gagged and outlawed, for
Cook would tolerate no man with convictions of
his own and the courage to speak them openly.
Crawford, by his opposition to machine rule,
failed absolutely in getting through the house
measures in which his constituents were inter-
ested and he was further punished by being de-
MED the customary honor of denomination for
his second term. The Taggart machine wants
no such men as Crawford in the legislature. It
prefers Cooks-or, rather, demands them.
However, Crawford, now retired to private
life, is proving to be more useful citizen in that
capacity than he was in public life
Turning to the Progressive party as the only
agency for the restoration of popular govern
ment in Indiana this combative young farmer has
"enlsted for the war;" Wherever Mr.. Crawford
has spoken the last few weeks he has told the
blunt, ugly truth about Taggartism and about
Cook and has aroused the public conscience.
Indiana is one of the few American states still
in the clutches of political boss. The Indiana
Democratic party is memory. 1t has long since
degenerated into combination of greedy poll
ticians and INSCRIPTIONS interests completely
dominated by one man, who retains his power
through legislative rewards and political spoils
Cook was placed on this machines ticket not as
recognition of his services to the people of Indi
ana but because of his unquestiOning obedience
to the dictates of Thomas Taggart at the state
house, Indianapolis, the first three months OF
the year 1913.
In reply to the storm of criticisms heapeC
upon him this man Cook has contemptuously de-
fled his enemies to prove the charges they have
made against him.
To the average voter it appears that the bur
den of the proof rests with Cook

How Thin People
Can Put On Flesh
A New Discovery.

Thin men and women-that big,
hearty, filing 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 crate. The material was there.
but your food doesn't work and stick.
ana 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 nutritive organs, your functions
of assimilation, 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
difference. 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
corpuscies-gives the blood the carry
ing power to deliver every ounce OF
fat-making material in your food to
every part Of your body. Sarsol, too,
mixes with your food and prepares 1t
for the blood in easily assimiiated
form. Thin people gain all the way
from 10 to 25 pounds a month while
taking Sargcl. and the new flesh stays
put. Sargol tablets are a scientihc
combination OF six of the best flesh.

current that .he new oil we'll had
broken its bonds of iron casing and

This, however, proved to be mis-
take, the story originating in all prob
ability from the sight of oil running
from the we'll, which was occasioned
by leak in a piece Of casing, the
trouble being easily taken care OF.
Late yesterday afternoon the care
taker in charge Of the well. in show
ing some oil men the pressure OF the
oil, loosened the cap slightly and a
two-inch stream of oil shot from the
spouting, horizontally, distance OF
perhaps thirty to thirty-five feet. This,
also, probably in the course of travel,
resulted in the story that the well was
