NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Fearing
further outrages, the entire strength
of the New York police force was to-
day conferred on the work of hunting
down the perpetrators Of the greater
city's latest bomb explosion which all
but wrecked the Bronx county court
house and ripped out the front of City
Marshal John e. Hosflings Office, g.
short distance away.
One bomb was set of against the
front door Of the court building; the
other under the window Of Hoefing's
office. Both explosions occurred with
in minute or two of each other,
around midnight last night. Members
Of a gang OF white slavers, nine OF
whom recently were sentenced by
County Judge Lewis D. Gibbs to from
twenty to forty years, are suspected.
The explosions were the most terrific
that have occurred in the course OF
New York bomb outrages. They were
heard for a distance of four miles
and smashed windows for consider
able distance around the buildings
where they were placed. One Of the
huge granite bases at the court house
door was smashed into pebbles. The
massive metal doors were almost rip
ped from their hinges.
Judge Gibbs who had remained late
in his chambers at the building was
thrown to the floor and bruised. His
secretary was hurled PROSTATE. Mrs,
Mary Frat, who was standing 100
feet away from the building was
Knocked unconscious to the pavement.
Windows in passing elevated train
were splintered and the passengers
badly frightened. Marshal Hoefing
had just left his ONCE when the second
bomb exploded. He was thrown
against tree and cut about the face
by flying glass and stones.
Judge Gibbs sentenced the nine,
white slavers following conviction on
evidence furnished by Hoefiing. While
several cases of buying and selling
girls, were charged against them. they
tried one specific charge. It was that
Of Mrs. Della Hanson, a widow OF
Bridgeport, Conn, who was lured here
and held prisoner in 154th street
house after being sold and resold sew
eral times.
The only clue the police had to
work on today was that furnished by
Mrs. Frat. She said she saw an auto
containing three men and, woman in
front of the court house q few NOM
ents before the explosion.

What Thin Folks Should
Do To Gain Weight
Physicians Advice for Thin, unde-
veIoped Men and Women.

Thousands Of people suffer from ex-
cessive thinness, weak nerves and
feeble stomachs who, having tried
advertised fesh-makers, food-fads,
physical culture stunts and rub-on
creams, resign themselves to lifelong
skinniness and think nothing will
make them fat. Yet their case is not
hopeless. A recently discovered re-
generativa force makes fat grow after
years Of thinness. and is also I'M
equalled for repairing the waste OF
sickness or faulty digestion and for
strengthening the nerves. This re-
markable discovery is called SargoL
Six strengthening, reproducing ele-
ments OF acknowledged merit have
been combined in this peerless prepa-
ration, which is endorsed by eminent
physicians and used by prominent
people everywhere. It is absolutely
harmless; inexpensive and efficient.
A months systematic use of Sargol
should produce flesh and strength by
correcting faults of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fats to
the blood Increased nourishment is
obtained from the food eaten, and the
additional fats that thin people need
are provided. Wilkinson & Co. and
other leading druggists supply Sargoi
and say there is a large demand for
it.
While this new preparation has CIV
en- splendid results as a nerve-tonlc
and vitalizer, 1t should not be USED
by nervous people unless they wish to
gain at least ten pounds of flesh.

SUFFERERS
NEED AMERICAN HELP
Many Loealltiess Prepare to Send Re
lief 70 the Thousands Of
Starving BeIglans.

Governor Clarke Is supporting q
movement to send supplies to the I'M
fortunate Belgians. Many cities and
societies have already interested them
selves in the relief work for this I'M
fortunate country A business man
and friend Of The Gate City suggests
that Keokuk raise cash fund to be
forwarded to the proper authorities
which will 60 toward relieving the dis
tress OF the poor Belgians who have
been made homeless by the war and
has left at this Office one dollar which
he hopes will grow into quite lib
eral fund. He suggests that The Gate
City receive money for the Belgians
and this paper has consented to do so.
If you wish to contribute cash assist
ance, The Gate City will receive your
contribution and forward same to the
proper authorities. The situation In
Belgium is distressing and many will
die unless America sends assistance.
To give some idea of the condition
of the Belgians the following appeal
has been sent out by DR.. Shipley,
master of Christ College, Cambridge
University, England, and received by
the president OF Princeton University
of this country:
do you think you could collect
from the Princeton men and their
friends any old clothes? 1t is
difficult for those far away to APP
preciate what is going on in Eng
land. We have practically half
a nation on our hands and nine
ty per cent Of them are abso-
lutely destitute; they have no
money and no belongings OF any
kind. Our great base hospita! on
the Kings and Clare cricket
ground now holds 300 and next
week will hold 1000 wounded. A
hundred Belgian wounded came in
yesterday.
"If you could issue a rousing
appeal and send some clothing as
quickly as possible-any sort Of
clothing and undeclothing, suits,
overcoats, hats, caps, boots, slip
pers, handkerchief, sleeping gar
ments-we should be eternally
thankful. Practically everything
is needed except ball dresses
The Gate City is willing to become
the custodian for cash contributions
and will see that the sums contribut-
ed are forwarded to proper authorities.

How to Beautify the Hair;
A Simple and inexpensive
Home Method

The hair is like a fower-a little
care and proper nourishment does
wonders. Just as plant without air
and water withers and dies, so will the
hair go if not given proper nourish-
ment. The scalp must be perfectly
healthy and free from dandruff, as
the scalp is to the hair what good
soil is TO plants and flowers.
If your hair is not pretty; il it is
losing its color, too dry matted, fall
ing out, or if the scalp itches and
burns, you can overcome all of these
conditions by using Partisan Sage
which supplies every hair need. 1t
soaks right in to the hair roots, stimu-
lating them and furnishing the nour-
ishment that Is needed for the hair to
grow not only long and heavy, but
fluffy, soft, lustrous and gloricusly ra-
diant.
You can get bottle of this mex
pensive, yet delightful and helpful
hair tonic from II. G. Kennedy or at
drug and toilet counters everywhere.
improvement begins with the very
fist application. Besides stopping the
scalp irritation it removes every bit
Of dandruff. The use of this unequaled
hair tonic will surely give your hair
new life and y.-Advertisement
