A Physicians Advice.

I'D certainly give most anything
to be able to fat up few pounds and
stay that way" declares every excess
siVoly thin man or woman. Such q
result is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims of
malnutrition, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being 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
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy, normal amount Of
fat, the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating a
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sar-
gol is a scientific combination of six
of the best strength giving, fat pro-
ducing elements known to the medi-
cal profession Taken with meals, 1t
mixes with the food and turns the
sugars and starches into rich, ripe
nourishment for the tissues and blood,
and it's rapid effect is remarkable. Re-
ported gains of from ten to twenty
five pounds in a single month are by
no means infrequent. Yet it's action
is perfectly natural and absolutely
harmless. Sargol is sold by Jacobs
Pharmacy and other good druggists
everywhere, and every package con-
tains guarantee of weight increase
or money back.
Caution:-Whle Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in the
treatment of nervous Indigestion and
general stomach disorders, it 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.

LONDON, March 10.--Mlltant suf-
fragettes in their campaign for votes
to day opened a vicious fight against
the art masterpieces of England.
shortly after the opening OF the Ma
tional Gallery o-day party of young
women entered and began looking at
the collection. They carried eata-
logues and guide books as though
they were tourists. When in front II

masterpiece which cost $225,000, one
OF the women drew Ratchet from her
pocket and began slashing at the glass
which covered the face of the canvas
Before guards arrived she had
smashed the glass and badly injured
the picture She was then arrested.
At the police station the women
was identified as Mary Richardson, q
well known member of the Womens
Social and Political Union, who was
recently charged with arson at Hamp-
ton Court.
ReprissI for Arrest.
The woman was defiant and told the
Scotland Yard officials that she had
been inspired to her act of vandalism
by the arrest OF Mrs. Pankhurst IN
Glasgow last night.
This is a just reprisal, and | do not
regret it," she declared. u hope I

The National Gallery was closed
Immediately after the incident while
experts began an examination to as
certain if the picture could be re-
paired, 1t was found that Il section
of the canvas had been cut entirely
away. The piece cut out contains
that part of the painting showing The
nude, reclining figure Of Venus gah-
ing into a mirror. Belief was ex-
pressed that the picture could not be
restored to its original form.
Go to Meet Leader.
Anticipating the arrival of Mrs.
Pankhurst from Scotland where she
had secretly been put upon London
train. detachments of women were
sent to all the railway stations at
noon. They were ordered to act as
pickets and to endeavor to rescue
Mrs. Pankhurst from the police upon
her arrival. If the police guard were
too strong, orders were given out that
the arrested leader should be followed
so that her whereabouts would be
known.
The Richardson woman was quickly
arraigned and held for trial without
bail.
