What Thin Folks Should
Do To Gain Weight
Physician's Advice for Thin, Undevel-
oped Men and Women.

Physician's Advice for Thin, Undevel-
oped Men and Women.
Thousands of people suffer from ex-
cessive thinness, weak nerves and
feeble stomachs who, having tried ad-
vertised flesh-makers, food-fads, physi-
cal culture stunts and rub.on creams,
resign themselves to lifelong skinni-
ness and think nothing will make
them fat. Yet their case is not hope
less. A recently discovered regenera-
tive force makes fat grow after years
OF thinness, and is also unequalled
for repairing the waste Of sickness or
faulty digestion aad for strengthening
the nerves. This remarkable discovery
is called Sargol. Six strengthening
fat-producing elements Of acknow-
lodged merit have been combined in
this peerless preparation, which is en-
dorsed by eminent physicians and
used by prominent people every
where. 1t is absolutely harmless, in
expensive and efficient.
A months systematic use Of Sargol
should produce flesh and strength by
correcting faults of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fats to
the blood. Increased nourishment is
obtained from the food eaten, and
the additional fats that thin people
need are provided. Wilkinson & Co.
and other leading druggists supply
Sargol and say there is large de.
mand for it.
While this new preparation has CIV
en- splendid results as nerve-tonic
and yitalizer, it should not be used by
nervous people unless they wish to
gain at least ten pounds of flesh.

At least two different stores will
get in the money on the next window

each winning one first and one other

Both of these stores are practically
certain to be rated among the first
five windows on the remaining con.
test If they maintain the pace they
have been setting. If they do the
windows given sixth and seventh
places will win prizes. This is in &C.
cordance with the rules under which
the contest is being held. The rule
does not, however, prohibit these two
stores from winning the sweepstakes
cup.

TO IMPROVE THE FRUIT.

Thinning Advised For Those Who Want
Product Of High Quality.
To many it is waste of time and
labor to thin fruit trees, but with few
exceptions it should be done. When
the tree bears n light crop little thin
ming is necessary, but since most
trees bear too much it is necessary to
thin them to obtain fruit of proper
quantity and quality. The purpose of
thinning is to secure large, healthy,
well favored fruit in culling out the
knotty, diseased, i'll favored ones. In
order to prevent waste. feed the culls
to hogs and poultry.
Culling out can be gauged by no fast
rule. 1t is seldom overdone since the
fruit grows fast up to harvest time. It
is best to pull each wormy and blight
ed fruit. Such fruit will either drop
from the tree before picking or prove
worthless for storage or marketing.
Thinning will also prevent good fruit
from contamination. In addition. the
remaining fruit has a greater chance of
development because the tree is not
called upon to nourish those infested.
The fruit produced from trees that
have been thinned is of far superior
quaiity.-American Agriculturist.

In regard to metallic favor. 1t is rath.

BAD FLAvoRs IN CREAM.
Bitterness Frequently Caused by I'M
proper Feeding.


proper Feeding.
Bitter cream usually occurs during
the winter months. especially when
the cream is exposed to low tempera-
lures. writes G.. L. Mckay in Hoard's 8
Dairyman. The bitterness is due to
peptones or butyric acid. Possibly the
reason that the bitterness does not
show up as much in the summer
months as in the winter is due to the
fact that the Tactic acid development
in cream during the warm weather has
the effect Of checking or preserving it.
l am inclined to think that feed cOndi-
tions also have some effect on the bit
terness in cream.
l have observed, for a great many
years. the fact that in open winters.
when the cows are turned out or per-
mitted to eat frozen vegetation, the
bitterness in cream is more prevalent
than when the cows are kept in the
stable and fed normal feeds, such as
hay, straw. corn ensilage or similar
feeds.

Cure FOR the Trouble.
Last summer we purchased valu-
able registered Holstein COW, and when
she reached Greenbank farm she had a
heifer calf about four days old by her
side, writes correspondent Of Hoard's
Dairyman. They had been on the jour-
ney two days, and the calf was scour-
ing badly. We tried all the popular
remedies for the complaint, but at the
end Of three days the calf was much
worse. and we had about given up her
recovery when the idea came to me to
try condensed milk. l procured can
at once and gave the calf eight ounces
in two pounds of as hot water US 1t
could stand, repeated the dose In six
hours, and before another six hours
had passed saw a dectdEd Improve
ment in condition. l then added one
pound of fresh milk to the mixture
and the next morning was surprised
to find the bowels in nearly normal
condition. After the second day we
left out the condensed milk. gradually
increasing fresh milk in the water un-
til at the end of the third day the calf
was again on its usual allowance of
fresh milk three times day.
Since our first experiment we have
had occasion to try this treatment sew

marked success. and one or two dairy
men to whom we have recommended
the treatment report the same results.

An anecdote Of Alexander Agas-
siz's boyhood in Neuchatel, in the
days when that Swiss canton was
administered by the Prussian Off
cials, shows that the man who was
to become so famous as scholar
| and man of science had his full share
Of healthy boys mischievousness.
The story is told in his Letters
and Recollections."
The small boys of Neuchatel were
much interested in politics. They
were arrayed in two parties, the
Royalists and the Reds. The for
mer were devoted to Prussia and
loyal subjects of Friedrich Wilhelm;
the Reds were ardent Swiss patriots,
who wished Neuchatel to have the
same republican form Of govern
ment that the other Swiss cantons
enjoyed and who resented the au-
thority of the governor. an ap-
pointee of the king of Prussia.
The governor, who liked to show
his authority in the smallest de-
tails, was so lacking in sense of
tact and of proportion as to COM
plain to Louis Agassiz that his little
son was not, saluting him with
enough politeness. Alexander was
punished, and when he met the gov
ernor on the street the next day he
saluted him with exaggerated alb
jectness. The governor complained
of that, too, whereupon the elder
Agassiz, much incensed, gave his
son a sound thrashing, for the IA
ther was a great admirer of the
king, who, at the suggestion of
Humboldt, had assisted him in many
ways. Not content with his victory,
the governor singled out his diminu-
tive adversary at school celebra-
tion and held him up for reproof
before large audience.
When it was Alexander's turn to
receive his prizes from the governor
he was so angry that he refused
them with scorn, turned his back
on the representative of the king
and, to the delight of the Reds,
walked out of the room. That led
to further punishment at home.
1nfuriated at the governors treat
ment, the youthful patriot collected
a band of confederates of his own
age, stormed the castle on the night
of a large dinner party, at which his
father was present, and smashed all
the windows of the state dining
hall. Louis Agassiz, suspecting the
instigator of this outrage, rushed
home, but found his son safely in
bed and apparently asleep.
Commenting on this episode in
after years, Alexander Agassiz re-
marked that it was perhaps fortu-
nate he came to the United States
at an early age, for with his views
he would surely have been hung or
shot before he had grown to middle
age!
