An Easy Way to Get
Fat and re Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stuffing
it with greasy foods; rubbing on useless

real cause of thinness goes untouched.
You can not get fat until your digestive
tract assimilates the food you eat
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
combine into simple form the very ele-
ments needed by the digestive organs
TO help Them convert food into rich,
fat-laden blood. This master stroke of
modern chemistry is called Sargol and

generative, reconstructive powers to
coax the stomach and intestines 10 lit
orally soak up the fattening elements
of your food and pass them into the
blood, where they are carried to every
your body. You can readily picture the
result when this amazing transforma-
ton has taken place and you notice
how your cheeks fill out hollows about
your neck, shoulders and bust disap-
pear and you take on from 10 to 20
pounds OF solid, healthy flesh. Sargol

None Of them was seriously in

under the machine, and Ralph Smith
was pinned under the seat by his
right arm. Miss Smithers and the
two other young men were hurled
from the machine several yards into

road
Young Whitehead was driving the
machine. According to the story he
told at the hospital, he had taken I.

End, and as he was driving the ma
chine back to town he met Smith and
Wood and the three girls. He in
vited them to take a ride and started
the machine for the outskirts of the
city.
Whitehead says that when the ma
chine began the ascent of Clyde Hill,
which is a steep grade, the front
wheels of the car locked and the
steering gear became useless. The
car swerved to one side, turned three
somersaults and crashed to the bot
tom of the hill.

made, by the hardest work and
species of true genius on the part of
the men at the head of them.
That Neil OBrien is capable Of all
this is proved by the exhibition at the
Atlanta rheater Monday night.
There was Eddie Ross and his
banjo, a most delectable combination,
Eddie being a good comedian with it
all; there was Eddie Mazier, a hefty
sort of person who has learned the
true niger" psychology; Walter
Lindsey, an able female impersona-
