Fer Thin People
WHO WOULD INCREASE WEIGHT

WHO WOULD INCREASE WEIGHT
Thin men and women who would like
TO increase their weight with 10 or In
pounds of healthy "stay-there" fat
should try eating a little Sargol with
thett meals for a while and note re-
suits. Here is good test worth try
ing. First weigh yourself and mea sure
yourself. Then take Sargol-one tab
let with every meal-for two weeks
Then weigh and measure again. 1t isn't
a question OF how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think. The
scales and tape measure will tell their
own story. Many people. having fol-
lowed these simple directions. report
weight Increases of from Ave to eight
pounds with continued gains under
further treatment.
Sargol does not of itself make fat
but mixing with your food its purpose
is to help the digestive organs turn the
fats, sugars and starches of what you
have eaten. into rich. ripe, fat produc-
ing ncurishment for the tissues and
blood-prepare IL in an easily assimi-
lated form which the blood can readily
accept. A great deal of this nourish-
ment now passes from thin peoples
stop the waste and make the fat pro-
ducing contents of the very same meals
you are eating now develop pounds and
pounds of healthy flesh between your
skin and bones. Sargol is noniniuri-
Gus, pleasant, efficient and inexpen-
sive. George A. Gorgas and other lead
ing druggists are authorized to sell II
in large boxes-forty tablets to a pack-
age-on guarantee of weight increase
or money back as found in every pack

Power Company has agreed to place
ornamental standards at intervals of
a trtfie over a hundred feet. from the
dam to Maclay street and to await the
convenience OF the city for the larger
part of its pay. City council is fav-
orable to the acceptance of this very
liberal offer. Later the remainder of
the lights will be set up so that event
ually there will be a standard every
ntty feet from one end of the River
wall to the other. In addition it is
proposed to complete the lighting of
the walk at the top of the bank from
one end OF the wall TO the other in
time for the celebration
Aquatic Sports
BoathouseS are to be constructed
along the river at places convenient
TO the public. These will have to be
capable OF housing a large number of
rowboats, motorboats, sailboats and
canoes, for already the impetus given
TO water sports by the construction of
the dam is being felt. 1t is also with
in the early possibilities that means
will be found to provide bathing
beaches and bathhouses for both chill
dren and adults. There is a big and
growing demand for something of this
sort and Mr.. Manning says there is no
reason why Harrisburg should not
have excellent swimming facilities
throughout the season.
In order to make the river naviga-
hle for all manner of pleasure craft
even during the lowest stages of the
stream channels will be blasted
through the rifles at Maclay street
which, by the way. will be largely re-
moved when the dam is completed,
and means will be provided for the use
of all manner of small boats from the
dam to the rapids below the Rockville
bridge. This will bring the McCor-
mick's island municipal camping
ground within boating distance of the
city and will give the people of Har-
risburg a boating surface more than
six miles in length and nearly a mile
wide with not much current in low
stages of the river.
Mr.. Manning's plans also call for
the treatment of the West Shore and
the people of tnat LOCALITY will be given
free access to these. The dam will
give them such a water front as they
have never enjoyed and the opportun-
ity to improve the storeline will not be
neglected.

contcnded by those In charge OF the
farm that IL Will 20 far toward rcvoIu-
tonizinE the trade in medicinal drug
pants and tho channels OF supply OF
these plants.
The whole operation has been UNDER
taken after conference with the en-
pcrts OF the Department OF Agricul-
ture, who for some years have con-
Quoted experiments In the cultivation
or medicinal drug plants at the Airing
ton farm. owned by the department Just
across the Potomac River. The new
drug plant farm is established on the
property Of John b. Henderson. Jr who
has taken scientific interest in the
matter and has turned over his land
to those in charge for long period OF
years.
Although attempts have been made
before TO establish farms FOR the Gull
tivatiOn OF some OF the medicinal drug
plants, no attempt has been made here
tofore to plant and harvest all the me-
dicinai plants which have been found
growing in the temperate zones OF the
world. 1t Is planned TO develop at the
farm the best and sturdicst OF drug
plants. through careful cultivation and
selection, making II possible 10 provide
the medicinal drug trade with plants of
standard value. which Is impossible at
this time.
For tho drug plants used arc almost
entirely collected ny peasants and
countrymen abroad and here and sent
To the markets. These plants ncces-
sarily vary in strength and value. and
according to the government officials
In New York, great quantities Of Spu-
rious drug plants are shipped to this
country annually.
Just at present. with a var raging
in practically all of Europe. the supply
Of drug plants for use in the United
states has become more prccariOus than
ever. In the first place. the persons
who have gathered these plants in the
past are either at war or unable to
gather the wild plants because of war.
IN the second p lace. the fact ti,at thou
sands OF men are being wounded in
the war each month makes 1t neces-
sary for the military authorities TO
take over the greater part OF the drug
supplies for their own use.
AT the drug farm in Virginia about
forty-five acres are being planted with
drug plants this year. and il is planned
to very much increase this acreage next
year. Already enough selected bella
donna plants for five acres have been
brought up under glass. Big beds con-
tanning 100000 ginseng roots have been
set out in the woodlands. Other plants
which are being grown include Gamma
bis. larkspur golden seal or hydrastis,
Japanese peppermint. senega. colchium
and SDrigelia.
