Premature Democratic GIee.

Just now there IS much gieeful

N embers OF the administration regard

is better, but the country should labor
under no misrepresentation as 20 tne
cause The war in Europe has bu4lt
up about the United States a protec-
tive wall, and is giving the tarin pro-
lection that the Democrats took away
in their new tariff bill. The wilson
Underwood law opened wide our doors
TO foreign products; the European
conflict prevents the foreign pro-
Queer from taking advantage OF the
opportunity thus given That Is the
real reason for the present business

country is receiving
The proper comparison of present
business conditions is not with the
immediate past, but with those cond!-
tons which existed before the Demo

pose, the two years OF 1892 and 1914
afford an excellent barometer. as they

The railroad receipts and prosperity
always mirror well the business activ-

than twenty years, with the single ex-
ception of 1895, and was only one-haR
of that OF 1872 During 1914, twenty

An Easy Way TO Gel
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish TO gain weight is that they insist on
drugging their stomach or stuffing IL with
greasy foods; rubbing on useless flesh
creams or following some foolish physical
culture stunt, while the real cause Of thin
ness goes untouched. You cannot get fat
until your digestive tract assimilatcs the
food you eat
Thanks TO a remarkable new scientific
discovery, il is now possible 70 combine
into simple form the very elements needed
by the digestive organs TO help them convert
food into rich. fatladen blood. This mas
ter-stroke Of modern chemistry is called
Sargol and has been termed the greatest OF
hesh-builders. Sargol aims, through its re-
cenerative re-constructive powers 20 coax
the stomach and intestines 10 literally soak
up the fattening elements OF your food and
pass them into the blood, where they arc
carried to every starved, broken-down cell
and tissue OF your body. You can readily
picture the result when this amazing trans
formation has taken place and you notice how
your checks iii out, holows about your
neck shoulders and bust disappear and you
take on from 10 to 20 pounds OF solid
healthy flesh. Sargol is absolutely harmless,
inexpensive, efficient. Leading druggists Of
Wilmington and vicinity have IL and will re-
fund your money IL you are not satisfied as
per the guarantee found in every package
Caution;-While Sargol has given excellent
results in overcoming nervous dyspepsia and
general stomach troubles, il should not be
taken by those who do not wish 20 gain ten
pounds or more.

Gilman from the Twelfth ward. He is
running for reelection on the Republi-

to send him back for second term.
Although the ward is a close one, his
friends express confidence he will be re-
elected
Councilman Williams was born in
Coatesvillc. Pa. on January l3, 1879. His
parents brought him to Wilmington in

Mr.. Williams was ducated in the pub
lie schools. He attended the High School
up to the second year of the course and
then became a car-buiders' apprentice
in the old shops Of the Wilmington and
Northern Railroad. In 1889 he entered
the employ OF the Harlan and Holings-
worth Company and worked in the ear
shops of that corporation until 1906. At
present he is connected with the Office
of superintendent Of the car department
in that big plant.
Two years ago when he was nomi-
mated in the Twelfth ward Tor city coun-
Gilman. the Democrats thought they
would experience little difficulty in de-
feating him. When the ballots were
counted they were chagined to learn
that he had been elected by substan-
tal majority. Since his election he has
been unfailing in his efforts to serve the
best interests of his constituents.
