TIE LOBSTER IS VANISHING
Scarce in New England Waters Where Once Plentiful Dis- quietns News for Lovers of This Choice Tb Late suppen-Steady Decrease in Number of crust.cesns Taken Each Years.

What the Boston Transcript has to say under the Captain. The Vanish ing Lobster. is enough to cause many pang of regret in the cities of New England wherever the toothsome con- stacean recalls the palate as an opicu- rean delight or the tit-bit of late sup pers. The Transcript says:
 The lobster in New England waters appears to be in parious state. Since midwinter the represen- tatives of the Main fishery have been maneuvering in Washington for con- tinuance of the Federal aid which has, it would appear, begun to re- habilitate the industry in Maine waters. And the senate committee on fisheries has now reported favor dishment of a government lobster hatchery on the Atlantic coast, to be located probably somewhere in Maine. To this might be added thatit would be located, probably, not a hundred miles. from Boothbay, where the pres ent station is.
 'It was in 1911 that the commits sioners on fish and game made a re- port to the Massachusetts legislature on the lobster fishery, studying the decline. it's reasons and the possible remedies. The decline itself has been The scarcity of lobsatrs in areas where they were once plentiful. is a mournful fact.
 The causes of the decline are in part the natural enemies and unfriendly environments, such as exposure to bleaching in severe storms and the predatory inroads of man. This last cause splits in two-the increased market demand. created by a donse population and accumulated wealth which seeks food delicacy without regard for its nutrition value, and in effective laws for protection. either

 For all this the diminution of the catch has been steady and disQuiet- ing. In 1911, the year of the report, the fishermen reported the taking of about 100000. The next year the report had dwindled to 0,000. While these figures do not by any means in- clude all the Holsters taken, they rep resent a large proportion and indicate ratio of decrease.

Thin Folks Who
 Would Be Fat
Inoreass in Weight Ten Pounds or More.
A Physicians Advice

"Td certainly give most anything to stay that way" declares every exces- siveiy thin man or woman. Such a re- suit is not impossible despite past fail- ures. Thin people are victims of mal- nutrition, a condition which prevents taken up by the blood as they are when the powers Of nutrition are normal. Instead of getting Into the blood, all the fat and flesh producing clements stay in the intestines until they pass from the body, as waste;
 To correct this condition and to pro- the nutritive processes must be artifi- cially supplied with the power which nature has denied them. This can best be accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol is a scientific combination of six of the best ments known to the medical profes- sion. Taken with meals, 1t mixes with the food and turns the sugars and stafches into rich, ripe nourishment for the tissues and blood and it's rapid eff feet is remarkable. Reported gains of from ten to twenty-five pounds in a single month are by no means infre- ural and absolutely harmless. Sargol is sold by the Lee & osgood Co. and other good druggists everywhere and every package contains guarantee of weight Increase, or money back.
 Cantf0ns-While Sargol has produced nervous indigestion and general stom- ach disorders 1t 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.
