What Thin Folks Should
Do to Gain Weight
Physicians Advice for Thin. Unde-
veloped Men and Women

Thousands of people suffer from ex-
cessive thinness, weak nerves and feehle
stomaehs who, having tried advertised
flesh. makers, food-fads, physical culture
stunts and rub-on creams. resign them
selves to lifelong skinniness and think
nothing will make them fat. Yet their
case is not hopeless. A recently discov-
cred regenerative force makes fat grow
after years of thinness. and is also un.
equaled for repairing the waste of sick
ness or faulty digestion and for
strengthening the nerves. This remark
e-discovery is called Sargol. Six
strength giving. fat.producing elements
of acknowledged merit have been COM
bined in this peerless preparation, which
is endorsed by eminent physicians and
used by prominent people everywhere.
1t is absolutely harmless. inexpensive
and efficient.
a months systematic use of Sarsol
should produce flesh and strength by
correcting faults of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fats to
the blood. Increased nourishment is oh.
tanned from the food eaten. and the
additional fats that thin people need
are provided, G. A. Gorgas and other
ieading druggists supply Sargol and say
there is large demand for it.
While this new preparation has given
splendid results as nerve tonic and vi.
talizer. it should not be used by nerv
Gus people unless they wish to gain at
least ten pounds of flesh.-Adv.

WOMAN'S PRAYERS ANSWERED
For 1S Years She Had Hoped for
Brothers Return

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 19.-Hope sus-
tanned Mrs, George wilds through
eighteen years of waiting for the re.
appearance of her brother, Charles
Youngs, who departed from his home
in Cleveland, Ohio.
Nothing was heard of him until a
few days ago, when letter came from
him to Mrs. Wilds. widow of Captain
Wilds, who was drowned ON the lakes
last summer. He is i'll in the Erie
county iniirmary, near Cleveland, and
arrangements will be made to have
him taken to his sisters home. Lilli-
bridge avenue, Detroit
1t was hope and prayer that kept up
the belief of Mrs. Wilds that her broth
er would some day be restored to her.
Several times he had been given up
for dead. Seven years ago word was
sent her that positive news of his
death was at hand. She refused to be-
lieve it and told her son, Clarence. that
the brother would some day appear.
Some time after this talk Captain
Wilds, who was near Cleveland on u
mission, was met by an old friend and
told that his brother-in-law was in
Cleveland. The police were notified
and another search was started But,
like the previous hunt, it was unavail-
ing. Clarence undertook a personal
hunt, urged on by his mother, and kept
it up through the seven years. Finally
Clarence received word that Mr..
Youngs was i'll in hospital near
| Cleveland.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question and "How to Prevent
Colds" Is asked thousand times
every day. A cold is really a fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of, the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to Withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why

ness. 1t contains natures medicinal

VIRTUE OF AN APPLE
At One Time the Fruit Was Called the
Food of the Gods

foou OF the G0dS
The apple has become so familiar
as the eommonest of all fruits that its
value as mans greatest friend in the
vegetable kingdom may not be fully
realized 1t was called the flood of
the gods because it was believed TO
be the magic renewer of youth TO
Which che gods resorted when they felt
themselves growing old and feeble.
There have been many mystic tradi.
tions about the apple. which has been
credited with varied potency. 1t is
the healing fruit of the Arabian tales.
Latin chronicles and institutes and
early English poems contain many ref.
erenees to ii. Scientific ANALYSIS of
late years has justified all the ancient
glorIfeation of this fruit. which has

Nsie acid of apples neutralizes the
excess of ehalky matter caused bv too
muoh meat and thereby helps to keep
us young. Apples are good for the
complexion. as their acids drive out the
noxious matters which cause skin
eruptions. They are good for the
brain. which those same noxious mat

OUR FIRST ELECTION
Methods in the Days When Washing
ton Was Chosen President

At the first national election at
which General Washington was chosen
President only eleven of the thirteen
States voted, North Carolina and Rhode
Island not vet having entered the
Union. and in only three-Pennsylvs
mia, Maryland and virginis-were pop
uiar elections held. In the other eight
States the Legislatures chose the elee-
tors. New York did not chose the elee-
tors because of feud between the anti
Federalist House and the Federaist
Senate.
One exciting incident was caused by
the fear on the part of Alexander Ham
the ticket for Vice President with
Washington, was plotting TO tie the
vote, and thus by throwing the eiee-
tion into the national house of repre-
sentatives defeat the Father of His
Country for President. So real was
this fear in Hamilton that he dis
patched messengers on horses TO Vir-
ginia. Connecticut and New Jersey TO
stampede the Legislatures of the latter
two States TO Washington.
So long did it take TO gather news
that Washington was actually inaugu.
rated President before some of the
remote counties in Virginia had sent
IN their returns. In this first election
there was only one ticket and there
was no campaigning. There were only
about 100000 inhabitants in the
country at that time, and the whole cost
of setting up the machinery of this
presidential election is estimated at less
than sl0O.e0O.-Pttsburgh Dispatch.

DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair. don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces. You can get this
at any drug store. and few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t

lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
