AS Predicted, More Than
100 New Pupils Will Be
Added to the Membership
Roll Before the Month
Closes.

There is no cessation in the applica-
tons for seats at the Southern Short

bringing new arrivals to this popular
Business Training School.
Seventy-one new pupils have been
enrolled since the first day Of January,
increasing the present attendance to
about 225.
1t Is now quite certain that the 100
mark will be reached before January
closes.

at the Southern, because I am certain
that / would have become better quail

however, a relative Of mine, whom
have advised to take your complete
Shorthand course"
The relative above referred to en-
tered the Southern, although she could
have obtained a lower rate Of tuition at
the other college.
Business colleges are like everything
else-there are good, fair, inferior.
The Southern employs from two to
three times as many teachers as do
those schools that offer lower rates OF
tuition, but its pupils profit thereby in
the saving of time as well as in the Sc

WIRELESS HERO

ST. JOHNS, n, B., Jan. 15.-Cdp-
of the crew Of the Cobequid, who re-
manned on that vessel when 96 pas
sengers and sailors were rescued late
yesterday, were taken off the strand
ed vessel this morning, according to
a wireless from the steamer Lans-
downe.
The Lansdowne reported that she
would arrive here-this afternoon and
that she had left the Lady Laurier
standing by the Cobequid, which was
rapidly breaking to pieces.
YARMOUTH, n. S., Jan. 15.-Res-
cued passengers Of the liner Cobequid
united to-day in praising Captain
Howson and his sailors for their con-
duct during the sc hours that elapsed
between the time when the steamer
struck on Trinity ledge and their res
cue late Wednesday.
THE safety of the passengers was
the first thought of Captain Howson
and his men," said Mrs. w. c. Som
mer. who, with her child, was the
first person taken off the vessel.
There was perfect discipline all the
time and their demeanor certainly
quelled many fears that we otherw Sc

Passengers Sing Hymns.
The wireless operator was a hero
If there ever was one. He stuck to
his post until almost frozen stiff.
Hour after hour no worked to get
news to other ships of our peril and
he was still on duty when the rescu-
ing vessels arrived"
The sailors were as hearty in their
praise OF the passengers conduct.
Why said one sailor, "one would
never have thought that the women
had any fear of death, The passen-
gers included members of various
faiths, but all joined in prayer
meeting in the main cabin and It GER

Ten members of the crew are con-
fined to the hospital here suffering
from frostbite and minor injuries, but
none will die.
Brothers Heroes.
The brothers McKinnon, Edgar and
Adelbert. commanders, respectively, of
the rescue steamers Westport and
John l.. Mccain, were hailed as he
roes in maritime circles to-day. The
little vessels, neither more than 100

liners would have hesitated to en-
counter If already safe in port.
The brothers modestly disclaimed
credit for having done anything ex-
traordinary.

Thin People Can
Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would like
10 increase their weight with 10 or Is
pounds OF healthy "stay there" fat
should try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for while and note results
Here is a good test worth trying First
weigh yourself and measure yourself.
Then take Sargol-one tablet with ev-
cry Ameal-for two weeks Then weigh
andemeasure again. II isn't a question
of how you look or feel or what your
friends say and think. The scales and
the tape measure will tell their own
story, and most any thin man or wo-
man can easily add from five TO eight
pounds in the first fourteen days by
following this simple direction. And best
of all. the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not OF itself make fat, but
mixing with your food. II turns the fats
sugars and starches OF what you have
eaten into rich. ripe, fat producing
nourishment for the tissues and blood
prepares II in an easily assimilated
form which the blood can readily &C
cept. All this nourishment now passes
from your body as waste. But Sarge
stops the waste and does It quickl,
and makes the fat producing contents
of the very same meals you are eatins
now develop pounds and pounds Of
healthy flesh between your skin ant
bones Sargol is safe. pleasant. eff

IMMUNITY BATHS
FOR TRUSTS To
BE OUTLAWED
Congress Committees Get Down
to Real Work on Wilson's Pro-
gram of Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Members
Of the Senate Interstate and House
judiciary Committees to-day began
work in earnest on the antitrust leg
islative program as agreed to in con-
ferences between the President and
the Congressman.
The first of four items in the plan
brought out by President Wilson is
that removing the last possibility OF
Immunity baths" for trust magnates
who are parties to violation OF the
Sherman law. Not only are they to
be held to answer for personal guilt"
but they and their corporations will
be denied any escape by the confess
sion route. Actual punishment is the
Wilson plan.
Interlocking of directorates is to be
definitely penalized, in the case of
banks trust companies and allied In
dustrial corporations, so that the
means for conducting an industry
may not be assured in one case and
artificially withheld in another.
An interstate trade commission is
to absorb the present bureau Of cor
pOrations and serve as an auxiliary to
the courts and to the Department of
Justice. 1t is to gather information
as to corporations and furnish it to
the business world
AS far as possible all doubt as to
Just what constitutes a monopoly or
conspiracy in restraint Of trade is to
be removed, and the rule of reason"
in this repealed.
Further conferences will be held
within a few days between the Chief
Executive and the committee leaders
to make out details of the program.
Both the Senate and the House Dem
ocrats now are busy, however, with
the drafting of proposals to cover the
general points outlined by the Presi-
dent. These bills will be submitted
for his approval and the ones agreed
to in the next conference will be in
troduced

BULL MO0SERS

State and City Administrations
Attacked at Lively Session Of
Progressive Leaders.

Atlanta leaders of the Progressive
| party in Georgia made it plain Thurs
day that the party in this section is
going to devote its principal efforts

new and vital political problems Of the
day
The party will try to make the
average voter understand just what
the initiative and referendum, the

senting their ideals, rather than con-
fining themselves to any one party
This, of course, applies principally to
local and State politics.

litical conditions through proper edu-
