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 staffing II
with greasy foods: rubbing on useless
flesh creams" or following some fool
ish physical culture stunt, while the
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 scientific
discovery, 1t Is now possible to combine
into simple form the very elements
needed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich, fat-Iaden
blood. This master stroke of modern
chemistry is called Sargol and has been
Sargol aims through its regenera tive
reconstructive powers to coax the stom-
ach and intestines 10 literally soak up
the fattening elements of your food and
pass them into the blood. where they
are carried to every starved, broken
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 fill out
hollows about your neck. shoulders and
bust disappear and you take on from 10
to 20 pounds of solid. healthy flesh. Sar-
gol is absolutely harmless. inexpensiye
efficient. Jacobs Pharmacy and other
leading druggists of Atlanta and yicIn-
ity have 1t and will refund your money
If you are not satisfied, as per the
guarantee found in every package.
Caution:-Whfle Sargol has given ex
ceilent results in overcoming nervous
dyspepsia and general stomach troubles
II should not be taken by those who do
not wish to gain ten pounds or more

WILSON PLAN ON
PRIMARIES IS
APPROVED
Leaders Discuss Presidential Pref
erence Method and Arrange
to Frame Law.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-President
Wilson's plan for Presidential prefer
ence primaries was approved here by
Democratic leaders at a luncheon of
the Common Council Club. This is
composed of personal friends of the
President, and is said to be the fore
runner of a chain of clubs throughout
the country whose object will be the
denomination of Wilson
State primaries plan proposed by
Joseph w. Folk. Solicitor of the State
Department, was supported by Secre-
taries Redfield and Wilson, Senator
Owen, Louis D. Brandeis, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin
and Treasurer John Burke.
A committee, with Mr.. Folk as
chairman, was named to draft a plan
for the State primary method of
nominating Presidents If the COM
mittee's report is adopted at the next
meeting of the club it probably will
be presented to the meeting in May of
the House of Governors and the COM
mittee will urge Congress to adopt
legislation necessary for making the
plan operative
Opposition to Presidential prefer
ence primaries, Mr.. Folk said. had
been due largely to the belief that it
would interfere with the rights of the
States.
IAN amendment to the Constitu
ton" he said, would not be re-
quired. Congress can authorize Pres
idential preference primaries to be
held under the laws of the different
States"
A bill has been completed by Rep
resentative Rucker. chairman of the
House Committee on Election of
President and Vice President, to car
ry out the Administration recommen-
dations. The measure will be taken
up by the committee on January 10,
and probably Immediately afterward
reported back to the House and
passed

Labor Federation
Leader Says Christ
Was a Union Man

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Jesus
Christ, a union man, was the picture
presented at Mount Rainier Christian
Church by Frank Morrison, secretary
of the American Federation of Labor,
In a speech on Labor" in which he
said he sincerely believed that Christ
was member of q trades union at
Nazareth.
Mr.. Morrison claimed that the
Christian church originally grew out
of the early labor unions and that
trade unionism and Christianity for
centuries past went hand in hand and
are doing so now.
AS a proof for his assertion that
there were trade unions in Christ's
time, the speaker referred to the
Catholic customs of eating fish on
Friday, which, he said, was created
by resolution of the "fishermen's
union"
