The new demand was met by rous-

The German forces probably would

as light artillery and mountain guns

The train was backed to the Saug-
atuck station. Every effort was made
to get a physician but, without result,
and the train had to be run to this
city under fill headway where it was
met by DIR. e. B. Weldon Of the emer-
gency hospital staff. Here Cordier
collapsed from the nervous strain
when Minty was pronounced to have
died instantly.
In the death OF Minty, the New Ha-

engineers, with a record of 40 years
service and only one wreck. Railroad
men along the line from Boston to
New York will part with one of the
most genial members Of their brother

railroad man, having applied for work

to engineer and continued until the
wreck at Rye when Minty ran his
passenger train into the rear of a
freight that was unguarded by sig

tired from the service for a few years,
seeking occupation on the Santa Fe
road which was then newly built
across the continent from Chicago to

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 foolish physical culture stunt.
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat.
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
tific discovery, it is now possible to
combine into. simple form the very
elements needed by the digestive or.
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood. This master.
stroke Of modern chemistry is called
Sargol and has been termed the great
est of flesh-builders. Sargol aims
through its re-generative, reconstruct
i've powers to coax the stomach 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 fill out, hollows about your
neck, shoulders and bust disappear
and you take on from 10 to 20 pounds
of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is abb
solutely harmless, inexpensive and ef-
ficient
caution:-While Sargol has given
excellent results in overcoming ner-
vous dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles it should not be taken by
those who do not wish to gain ten
pounds or more.

| Public criticism Of the retention OF
Charles Clark in the city engineering
department after he had been fined in
police court as the result of joy-ride
in a city machine, and after the sup
ervisors had formally declared that
he should be discharged. brought an
answer from City Engineer White
house today which reveals a surpris-
ing state of affairs.
The city engineer in a verbal state
ment to the Star-Bulletin said that he
had received no communication from
the board saying that Clark should be
dismissed.
The board simply referred the mat
ter to me-" Whitehouse said. Il was
not told that Clark should be fired

The engineer then reiterated that
the board had not told him Clark
should be dismissed from the city's
service.
Whitehouse was asked who paid for
the damage done to the city machine
when Clark drove it on the other side
of the island.
CLARK has paid for it," said White
house. The whole thing was only
$13, and he has paid the bill himself"
Records Contradict Statement,
Investigation Of the city hall records
by the Star-Bulletin do not bear out
what the city engineer says concern.
ing the boards action on Clark.
The records contradict the state
ment that the board made no sugges-
tons as to what disposal the engineer
should make of the Clark matter.
As told in the newspapers at the
time the board took action, October
5, Supervisor Larsen severely criticiz-
ed Clark and moved that he be dis.
missed. Supervisor Single then drew
attention to the fact that such action
should come from the city engineer,
the head of the department in which
Clark was employed Larsen assent
ed to this but insisted that Clark be
removed.
