NOW A NATIONAL BANK
Merchants Bank of this City Receives
New Charter and Takes New Name

Under the new charter received yester-
day, what has heretofore been the Mer-
chants Bank becomes the First National
Bank Of Punta Gorda, and is now oper-
ating under the Federal banking laws.
The change from state Bank to a
4 national bank was decided upon after
due consideration by the directors and
officers, who were of the opinion that 1t
would place the bank in better position
to better serve its patrons and to command
the confidence of the public in general.
Organized in April of 1913, the Merch-
ants bank rapidly built up good patron
age and has become firmly established.
AS to the First National Bank, 1t will
maintain it's reputation for conservative
methods, for the same officers and di-
rectors as heretofore will direct it's poll

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 dragging their stomach or stuffinE 1t with greasy foods; rubbing on use less flesh creams" or following some foo1ish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinnesS goes untouched You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimiiates the food you eat.
 Thanks to @ remarkable new scien- thc discovery, if is now possible to 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 builders. Sargol aims through its re- Eeneratlve, reconstructiVe powers to coax the stomach and intestines to lit orally 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 or your body. You can readily picture the result when this amazing trans tofma ton has taken place and you mo- tlee now your cheeks fill out, h2IloWs about your neck, shoulders and bust d1sappear and you take on from 10 to xU pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Sar- goI IS absolutely harmless, inexpensive eIue1ent. Lee & Osgood and other lead ing druggists of Norwich and vicinity have 1t and will refund your money if you are not satisfied, as per the guar antee found in every package.
 EautiOn While Sargo1 has given ey- ceJenr results In overcoming nervous ayspepSla and general stomach troubles It should not be taken by those who do not wish to gain ten pounds or more.

Validity of Inspectors Appointment Questioned Stubborn Fire in Bakery-Electon Day Incidents John j. Dunn Buys Woolen Mill Property.

Att the recent meeting of the West eFly town council in order to partially satisfy the persistent committee in fire prevention of the Westerly board of trade, pending opportunity of that committee to secure legislative action for the better fire protection of West erly, with special reference to the con Etruction of chimneys a new off1ce was created. Herbert P. Clark was appointed inspector of construction or chimneys and the placing of stoves and stovepipes. The creation of the of1ce and the appointment of a com petent official met with public favor It develops, however. that the council assumed a power vested in the West erly fire district, and fti is claimed that there will be conflict unless the coun- ciI recedes from its action. Section 24 Rules and Regulations of the Westerly Fire District, reads as follows:
 There shall be a committee of three appointed annually, whose duty It shall be to superintende the erection of chimneys, the setting of fire places and of stoves and tunnels, and to ex- anime all such as are now in use, within the limits of the corporation; and if, in the opinion of said commit tee, any such stove, funnel, chimney or fire place be made unsafe in regard to fire, they shall request the owners or occupants of the buildings or rooms where theysare to make such alfera- tions as will in their opinion render them safe; and if the owners or occu- pants refuse to comply with the direc- tions of said committee, or a majority of it, delivered to them in writing, they shall be subject to a weekly Inc of ten dollars after receiving said di- rections, until complied with; and 1t shalaI be the duty of said committee to report all celinquents to the treasurer for prosecution"
