And then, so theatre row says, the
truth came out. The censor, who is
member of the Kings household,
wouldn't allow the Kaiser to be carl

don't know why the censor took this
stand. But they understand.
War is war, but royalty is royalty
and majesty Is majesty and the whole
king business is cheapened when one
ruler allows his subjects TO make
fun of another ruler. And there you
are.
And then there's the additional fact
that both King George and the Kaiser

HOW TO Cain WEIGHT
A POUND A DAY

Thin men and women who would like
TO increase their weight with 10 or 10
pounds of healthy, stay there" lat,
should try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for n while and note results.
Here Is a good test worth trying. First
weigh yourself and measure yourself.
Then take Sargol--one tablet with every
mcal-for two weeks Then weigh and
measure again. IL 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 woman
can easily add from five TO eight pounds
in tho 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, il turns the fats,
sugars and starches of what you have
eaten, into rich, ripe, fat producing
uourshment for the tissues and blood
prepares il in an easily assimilated form
which the blood can readily accept. All
this nourishmcnt now passes from your
body as waste But Sargol stops the
waste and does it quickly and makes
the fat producing contents of the very
same meals you are eating now develop
pounds and pounds of healthy flesh be-
! tween your skin and bones. Sargol IS
safe. pleasant. efficient and Inexpensive.

Editor Press:

Editor Press:
I noticed the article in last weeks
PRESS by A. A. Liederbach and
am sure the writer needs a good
dose of some real settling" medicine.
The idea Of a man who poses as a
good citizen writing such stuff! He
unconsciously reveals in his letter
why it is. that the world does not
give him all he thinks he deserves.
The world has little use for crouch
holders and kickers.
A man who takes piece of land
and by hard work early and late
builds home for himself and his
family and adds to the wealth of
the country is, according to the Oak
dale gentleman, plutocrat and a
loan shark. Again the man who is
content with few odd jobs and with
raising few acres of wheat and
who spends his spare cash for to-
pacco and other worse indulgence,
who dances the night away and is
uS~u W tIle WOrlu when ne should
be at work, who is content to live in
sod house and never have anything
ne can call his own, this man is
slave!
Such are the ideas of certain class
of people of which Mr.. Liederbach is
fair sample. There is not a new
thing in his letter; he simply re-
hashes the old statements made by
agitators Of the Meyers -Liederbach
type. If people would stop taking
opinions second hand and do their
own thinking they would soon be on
better terms with themselves and
their surroundings and begin to move
out Of their sod huts. .S..:f
