case there WAS disinclination on the
part of the brigade commanders TO
shed unnecessary blood.
In the morning Holton was awak-
ened by a bombardment which con-
tinued for half an hour. The men In
the trenches got into action with their
Krags and the Spaniards responded.
The result was spirited session.

The next development was the In
evitable flag of truce trailing toward
the Spanish lines. borne by messen-
gers from Shafter sent to inquire OF
Toral If he had not yet changed his
mind about holding out.
AS Holton could see no special rea-
son why the Spaniard should have
changed his mind. he was inclined to
regard the truce business as a joke. a
sentiment which most of the officers
shared with him. Toward noon he
made his way along the lines. and
eventually, he located the Cuban con
tingent.
Garcia was seated in front of his
tent with General Castillo. He remem
bered Holton and greeted him pleas
antly. Yet he appeared to have some
thing on his mind, and after WELDON
ing the navy man he turned to his
brother general and continued a con
versation which the officers arriva
had evidently interrupted. Holton

its part to play. and that. as conse-

His duty was perfectly clear: and
while he was able to drag one foot
after another its stern behests were

turned to glance after him. He. too.
was turning to gaze at HoJton. and
now brought his horse to a sharp halt.
Noting this. the navy man walked
toward the fellow. feeling that he had

The young soldier. Win head turned

the beautiful animal.

Then he smiled and held out his hand.

Holton looked at the other steadily

over him

EAT LESS To Gain

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Would you

Well, then, heed what Mrs. Thomas
A. Edison has to say to-day about

Reduce the amount of food you

periments that a man Of keen intel
lect lost ground by overworking his

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase inWcight TenP0unds or More
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such result is
not impossible, despite past failures.
Thin people are victims of mal-nutri-
ton, a condition which prevents the
fatty elements of food from being taken
up by the blood as they are when the
powers of nutrition are normal In
stead of getting into the blood, all the
fat and flesh producing elements stay
in the ntesttnes until they pass from
the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy, normal amount of fat
the nutritive processes must be arti-
ficially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can best
be accomplished by eating Sargol tab
let with every meal. Sargol is sci
entific combination of six of the best
strength giving fat-producing elements
known to the medical profession. Taken
with meals, it mixes with the food and
turns the sugars and starches into rich,
ripe nourishment for the tissues and
blood and its rapid effect Is remarka BILE.
Reported gains of from ten to twenty
five pounds in single month are by
no means infrequent. Yet its action is
perfectly natural and absolutely harm :
less Sargol is sold by Jacobs
Pharmacy and other good druggists
everywhere and every package con-
tains a guarantee of weight increase
or money back.
Charlottesville Sargol has produced
remarkable results in the treatment of
nervous indigestion and general stom-
ach disorders, ii should not, owing to
it's remarkable flesh producing effect, be
used by those who are not willing to
increase their weight ten pounds or
more.-Advt

AKER|NAN BESTS
JUDGE SPEER
BY RUSE
District Attorney Has Another
Fedora Jurist Mol Pros 80
Liquor indictments.

VALDOSTA, Feb. 12.-District At
torney Alexander Alderman put one
over Judge Emory Speer here
when he secured an order from
Judge W. b. Sheppard allowing the
mol pros of the 80 indictments against
liquor dealers whose dismissal Judge
Speer had previously refused to sane
ton.
Declaring in his statement to the
Congressional Investiga ting Commit
tee at Savannah that 1t seemed that
Mr.. Alderman was in league with
business houses of evil influence"
meaning the liquor companies, Judge
Speer further stated
IF | remain as judge, and Mr.
Alderman does not remain as District
Attorney, these cases will be tried"
Judge Sheppard, of Pensacola, con-
vened special session of the District
United States Court here for the trial
cases presented to him We're the inr
dictments against the liquor dealers,
whose dismissal the District Attorney
asked. Judge Sheppard granted the
order without discussion.
District Attorney Alderman stated
to the court that each of the dealers
had already settled with the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, and that
he was authorized by the Department
Of Justice to mol pros the cases. The
indictments were for violations of the
internal revenue tax act
When Judge Speer refused last year
to permit the dismissal of the cases,
Mr.. Akerman mol pressed them any

structions from the judge declined
to make them the order Of the court
Mr.. Alderman contends that there is
ample precedent for a District At

the judges wishes, and that in so do
ing ne merely carried out the author

added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux

druff. stop itching and falling hair. Mix

While wispy gray. faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth

darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You just
dampen sponge or soft brush with It
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn

After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy
