An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish TO gain weight Is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stuting II
with greasy foods: rubbing on useless
'.fesh creams" or following some Tool
ish physical culture stunt, while the real
cause of thinneSs goes untouched. You
cannot get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat
Thanks to a remarkable new Sclentlnc
discovery, il Is now possible to combine
into simple form the very elements
needed bv the digestive organs TO heip
them convert food into rich, fat-laden
blood. This master-stroke OF modern
chemistry is called Sargol and has been
termed the greatest of fiesh-builders.
Sarcol aims through its re-generative,
re- constructive powers to coax the
stomach and intestineS to literally soak
up the fattening elements of your food
and pass them into the blood. where
they are carried to every starved, brok-
en-down cell and tissue Of your body.
You can readily picture the result when
this amazing transformation has taken
place and you notice how your cheeks
I'LL out, ho'lows about your neck, shoul-
ders and bust disappear and you take
on from 10 to % ounds OF solid, healthy
flesh Sarge! Is absolutely harmless, in
expensive, efficient Jas. O'Donnelfs 8

every package
CAUTION:-While Sargol has given
dyspepsia and general stomach troubles
1t should not be taken by those who do
not wish to gain ten pounds or more

Hockey is on the wane.
Bows and girls, for the fair sex is not
above taking an occasional day of on
a seIf-appointed vacation. are pretty
regular in attending school.
In fact, from the few cases of habitual
trrrancy brought into the Juvenile
Court, Washington may be considered
almost a model city for school attend
ance.
There are few cases, however, where
DAYS are taken off when the youngSter
feels it imperative that q matinee or a
movie must be taken in. This form
of truancy or hockey" as the boys
and girls know it, is handled by the
teacher and parent
When the cases get beyond the school
authorities and the parents Miss Anna
Began and Miss Sadie Lewis, truant
officers, are notified and look up the
offender, who is brought into the Juve-
nile Court before Judge Latimcr.
Habitual truants are rare these days

Howard Clark, of the Juvenile Court
ance at school," he says. I'VE have
few cases Of habtuaI truancy brought
here and that speaks well for the at
tendance at school
The efforts of tho truant officers have
much TO do with the high record for
attendance. Just as soon as a case is
reported the "chaseTs'' visit the parents,
who often arc unaware that the children
have been out of school
Constant attention on the part of the
officers has had the effect Of keeping
children at school.
Compared with other cities Washing
ton is a model when IL comes 20 school
attendance. During the last three years
truant cases have slumped of so that
only occasional intraCtions of the rules
are noted.

Tribute For Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln was ''the truest
American yet produced" Representative
s. D. Foss, of Ohio, today told the
House in memorial services. He placed
Lincoln above Washington. because the
latter was more English in his in
stincts and habits than American.
'aThe two predominating attributes of
character Of this man were huInor and
pathos," Foss asserted. Two dominant
clements of his life were his faith in
humanity and his deep religious nature. "
some men make their place in his
tory by notable utterances. others By
notable deeds, while 1t is given to but
a few the double distinction of both.
To the latter class belonged Abraham
Lincoln" ..-...-.-..--.

floor in front, but 1 did in the rear.
Q. You got to the fire five minutes
after the fire alarm, but when you get
there you would not send men in?
A No.
Q. Why.
A Because of the danger.
Q. Why?
A. The upper floors were all going.
Q. If, when you got there there was
not sufficient fire on the first floor
to merit fighting, and there was a
menace from above. whose duty was II
to tell you that men were inside, When
you arrived?
A. Well the man who sent them in
should know; he is responsible
O. Upon whom devolved the duty OF
looking after these men? whose duty?
A. After he left she should have
found out where the men we're.
Q. II they came out whose duty was
II to let Sullivan know?
A. Well 1t would be reported to Wno-

ner said II was a physical imposslblllty
for him TO determine the Location OF the

from Battalion Chief Proctor.

Yes, but no man is relieved of his
charge by the arrival of the chief. II

Chief Wagner stated that one of his
first actions was TO send Deputy Chiel
Sullivan to the top of the Family Shoe
Store,

many hose lines around the building,
but that he did not think for a moment
there was any one inside the oundlnS.
O. Did you see line of hose in the
building in front?
when did you first know someone
was in there?'
In reply the chief related how he had
gone into the building after the crash.
There was eight inches of water and
much smoke, and he stumbled over
something, and his man, Gill, caught
him. He found II was a hose, and that
water was being pumped through IL

that time.
A.-No, sir.
Asked To Explain.
At this point Chief Wagner asked per-
mission to make a statement and it was
granted. Evidently having in mind the
conflicting claims for credit Of the dis
covery of the men. he recited that
when he came from the building after
discovering the hose that he asked
whose hose they were.
"a man. believe it was Captain Ian:
aLan. then told me he believed they
were No. 6's hose. and I ordered them
