Mrs. Fred Titterington, the meeting was
presided over by Mrs r. G. Summers,
the devotional services opening the
meeting being conducted by Mrs. Nj.
NJ Sturgeon.
Rev Mr.. Johnson spoke at some
length on the reforms and referred TO
the fact that the leading nations of
Europe have felt the need of prohibit
ton to increase general efficiency. spe-
cificatly the army. He gave the follow
ing proofs of this fact: Russia has
been made a prohibition nation by an
edict of the ear; France has prohibit
ed the manufacture and use of alb.
sinthe; Germany has made restrictions
of the liquor traffic and the king OF
England and his official advisors have
banished liquor from their homes.
He spoke Of the success of recent
prohibition campaigns and made the
statement that at the same time that
California and Ohio went wet, q big
wholesale liquor corporation went into

not impossible, despite past failures.
Most thin people are victims of NAL

the nutritive processes must be arti-
f1cially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can
probably best be accomplished BY eat
ing a Sargoi tablet with every meal.
Sargol is a careful combination of six
splendid assimiliative agents. Taken
with meals they mix with the food to
turn the sugars aud starches of what
you have eaten into rich, ripe nourish-
ment for the tissues and blood and its
rapid effect has been in many cases re-

from ten to twenty-five, pounds in

Is sold by all druggists everywhere
