Secret of "Norba," the Piano Player
to Be Revealed Saturday

In the windows of the c. NJ. Sigler

onstrating player-pianos. 1t is in the
form of figure either wax or human
which for two hours plays continuously

Just as you are sure that the figure
is human. something happens to make
you think that it is wax. And if yol
think it is wax, something happens to
make you think that it is human.
There's mighty good reason to think
both ways, for the work is carried out
in such way as to fool the best.
The secret of "Norba,'' the figure,
will be exposed on Saturday evening at
the close of the exhibition, until which
time the crowds gathered in front Of
the store are given the opportunity to

The face and the eyes of the figure are

An Easy Way to Get
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 it
with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
flesh creams" or following some fool
ish physical culture stunt, while the
real cause of thinness goes untouched.
You canHot get fat until your digestive
tract assimilates the food you eat.
Thanks to a remarkable new scientific
discovery, it is now possible to combine
into simple form the very elements
needed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich, fat laden
blood. This master stroke of modern
chemistry is called Sargol and has been
termed the greatest of flesh builders.
Sargol aims through its -generative,
re-constructive powers to coax the stom.
ach and intestines to literally soak up
the fattening elements of your food and
pass them into the blood, where they
are carried to every starved, broken.
down cell and tissue of your BODY. You
can readily picture the result when this
amazing transformation has taken
place and you notice how your cheeks
NIL out. hollows 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. G.. A.
Gorgas and other leading druggists of
Harrisburg and vicinity have it and
will refund your money if you are not
satisfied. as per the guarantee found
in every package.
Caution:-While Sargol has given ex.
eellent results in overcoming nervous
dyspepsia and general stomach troubles
it should not be taken by those who do
not wish to gain ten pounds or more.
