AN EASY WAY TO
Increase WEIGHT
.GOOD ADVICE FOR THIN FOLKS


The trouble with most thin folks
who wish TO gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuaing it with greasy foods: rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or following
some foolish physical culture stunt.
while the real cause of thinness goes
You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract assimilates the
food you cat.
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
tiic discovery. ii is now possible to
combine into simple form the very ele-
ments 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
hesh-builders, Sargol aims through
its re-generative. re-constructive pow
crs to coax the stomach and intestincs
to literally soak up the fattening ele-
ments 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 absolutely harmless,
inexpensive. efficient. All leading
druggists of Wilmington and vicinity
have it and will refund your money
if you arc not satisfied, as per the
guarantee found in every package.
While Sargol has given
excellent results in overcoming nerv-
Gus dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles il should not be taken by
those who do not wish to gain ten
pounds or more.

there broke out the most terrific cam

Everything that the Germans had that
could shoot was shooting. Horns were

celebration. II wasn't as noisy as the
Germans. 7 must admit Our white
lights weren't as bright. But our ar

rifles and machine guns lacked i'm

Our racket lasted ten minutes. We
didn't try TO kill anybody, and as far
as we could learn, nobody in our dis

When our noise was ended. we yell

All Of Germany will be going by

Twenty-seven days later the Ger
mans gave us another terrific can

celebrating the Kaiser's birthday and
were shooting to kill.
We didn't know it was the Kaiser's
birthday and at midnight when many
of our men were repairing trenches,

German bullets suddenly swept our
trenches and killed IL of us.

Centre Grange, last night, was ad-
dressed by Lee Cooch, farm agent
of New Castle county, who gave an
interesting description of his work.
In speaking OF a recent farm sur
vey that he had made with one Of the
government officials in the vicinity OF
Middletown. Mr.. Cooch said that in
two weeks he had visited sixty farms
and had tabulated the work, finding
that the land owners are making from
one to twenty-seven per cent. on their
investments and that the tenants are
receiving good pay for their labor
Mr.. Cooch declared il absolutely ne
cessary to make the home surround
ings more pleasant, such as adding
fully equipped bathrooms to the
houses, if the farmers wish to retain
their children on the farm.
In speaking of systematizing the
work and keeping careful accounts
of their crops. Mr.. Cooch said he had
found that most of the farmers were
inclined to be careless in keeping the
accounts OF their various crops and
that few farmers know whether they
are making money in various de-
partments. He urged the farmers to
systematic their work more thor
oughly to keep more accurate ac-
counts in every department.
"All the best merchants and manu-
facturers,' said Mr.. Cooch, employ
at various times, expert accountants
