John King, formerly the greatest
catcher in baseball, is now bidding
for premier honors as a three-cush-
ion billiard player. King, playing for
Kansas City in the Interstate Billiard
League, has been one of the sensa-
tons of the early contests. Playing
away from home, he has astounded
the experts by winning in PhiIadel-
phia and Buffalo. -...
He met with a setback at CleVe-
land, but continues to play fast and
clever billiards. King has for years
been one of the greatest pool players
in the world, and since his retirement
from baseball has devoted his time
to billiards, improving his game until
he promises to become one of the
leading shortstops of the billiard
world. o. -~-,

How Thin People
Can Get Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A Physicians Advice


I'D certainly give most anything to
be able TO fat up few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such result is
not impossible, despite past failures.
Thin people are victims of mal-nutri-
ton, condition which prevents the
fatty elements of food from being
taken up by the blood as they are when
the powers of nutrition are normal. In
stead of getting into the blood, all the
fat and flesh producing elements stay
in the intestines until they pass from
the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy normal, amount of fat
the nutritive processes must be artif-
cially supplied with the power which ma
ture has denied them. This can best be
accomplished by eating Sargol tablet
with every meal. Saragol is a scientific
combination of six of the best strength.
giving, fat-producing elements known
to the medical profession. Taken with
meals. it mixes with the food and turns
the sugars and starches into rich, ripe
nourishment for the tissues and blood
and its rapid effect is remarkable. Re-
ported gains of from ten to twenty five
pounds in single month are by no
means infrequent. Yet its action is per-
fectly natural and absolutely harmless.
Sargol is sold by Geo. A. Gorgas and
other good druggists everywhere and
every package contains a guarantee of
weight increase or money back.
Caution:-While Sargol has produced
remarkable results in the treatment of
nervous indigestion and general stom-
aeh disorders, it should not, owing to
its remarkable flesh producing effect, be
used by those who are not willing to
increase their weight ten pounds or
more. Adv.

Keep Your Lungs Strong

This advice is doubly important with
the knowledge that every three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs
to consumption and many refuse to
realize they are afflicted until tits too late.
1t is after colds or sickness, from over
work, confning duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular germs
thrive because the resistive powers of
the body are weakened.
Only with fresh air, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progress, and the concen-
trated fats in SCOTS Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish-
ment helps strengthen the lungs while
it builds up the forces.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or rundown Scott's Emulsion is
the most strengthening food-medicine
known and is free from alcohol or -stupe-
flying drugs. Avoid substitutes.
