To Put On Flesh
And Increase Weight

Most people eat from four to six pounds
of good solid fat-making food every day
and still do not increase in weight one
ounce, while the other hand many
of the plump, chunky folks eat very light
ly and keep gaining all the time. It's
all bosh TO say that this is the nature
of the individual. 1t isn't Natures way
at all.
Most thin people stay thin because their
powers of assimilation are defective. They
absorb just enough of the food they eat
to maintain life and semblance of
health and strength. Stuffing won't help
them. A dozen meals a day won't make
them gain a single stay there" pound
All the fat-producing elements of their
food Just stay there in the intestines
until they pass from the body waste
What such people need is something that
will prepare these fatty food elements
so that their blood can absorb them and
deposit them all about the body-some-
blood corpuscles and increase their 5lood's
carrying power.
For such condition it is well to rec
ommend eating a SargoI tablet with
every meal. Sargol is not, as some be-
lieve a patented drug. but is simply a
careful combination of six of the most
effective and powerful assimilative and
flesh building elements known to chem
istry. 1t is absolutely harmless, yet has
been wonderfully effective and a single
tablet eaten with each meal often, ac-
of increasing the weight of n thin man
or women from three to five pounds
week Sargol is sold by Arnold Drug Co
and other good druggists everywhere on
q positive guarantee of weight increase

Wild BILL MACKERELL
Something About One Driver in Next
Weeks Auto Races.

wild Bill" Mackerell, one of the
six professional drivers who will be
one of the contestants in the thrilling
automobile races at the fair grounds
race track in Topeka on Thanksgiving
day, is one of the most daring drivers
in America. Daredevil feats on the
track is what gave him the nickname
of wild Bill" His resourcefulness
and quick thinking have saved him in
more than one close place where he
flirted with death.
In one of the first races he drove
the gas connections leading into the
carbureter broke on his machine and
Wild Bill crawled out onto the
framework and held the connection
together with his hand while he finish
ed the remainder of the race. In this
manner he ran his car III miles, sus-
tanning severe burns from the motor,
and he carries scars from this accident
to this day
Mackeren is % years old and has
been following the auto racing game
for five years. He began his career
as a mechanician in the Chalmers fac
tory at Detroit. Then he became
tester. The duties of a tester are to
take new car out on the road and
run II for several hours over hills and
through the country at high speed. In
this way Mackerell contracted the
speed fever, and as several of the
Chalmers boys had gone into the
racing game, notable among them
Eddie Haveriy, he followed them. He
Joined Haverly's National team of
racers and became quite successful He
drives big Chalmers Six.
While a mechanician, wild Bill'
proved his courage one day in a 300
mile race when the fabric on the left
rear tire became loose, and as the
wheel revolved, the rubber would
brush the driver on the shoulder. The
contest was so close that the driver
could not think of stopping to put on
new tire, so without a moments
hesitation, he reached his arm around
the drivers shoulder to shield him
from the loose rubber. His arm was
broken in two places.
At RuSkin Park, Emmettsburg S.
D., last summer, wild Bill was leading
IN 50-mile race when he blew a tire
with only three miles to go, he finish
ed with the tire flat, and won.
Mackeren will be one of the star
drivers in the races next Thursday
afternoon They begin at $50 O'Clock.

MORE BAD CHECKS

Young Man Had Little Trouble

Slight Chance for Discovery of

estimated by the police that two men

business houses.

a wealthy farmer of Pauline, walked
into the Paxton & Paxton department

a check for SIS in payment, and
walked right out again. He repeated
his performance at the Crosby Bros.
store, for $40. Detective Tim Dono-

claims that the young man operated
on a number of other merchants for
similar sums.
The following day another young
man signing his name H. S. Ellison

Along about the time they received

School Gardens Work In
Charge Of Miss Medill

For the purpose of making a
survey of the State to determine
what would be possible in home
and school garden work under
local conditions, w. H. Randell, a
specialist in that line from the
United States Bureau of Educa-
ton, spent last week in Delaware,
Accompanied by DR.. Charles A.
Wagner, State Commissioner Of
education, and the county farm
agents, he visited every section of
the state. Mr.. Randall is working
in behalf of the Cooperative Ed
ucational Association of Delaware,
which was organized at meeting
held at Delaware College several
weeks ago.
Mr.. Randall was much Impress
ed by the garden conditions that
prevail here. Owing to the late
ness of the season, all that is pos
sible to do this year is to start a

tions for training teachers in this
years Summer School. 1t is pro-
posed, however, to make demon
strations in at least one town in
each county, beginning late next
winter or early next spring. In
this work the teacher will have
the guidance and assistance of the
county farm agents in each coun-
ty. Mr.. Randall believes that in
connection with the various boys
and girls clubs now being formed
in several agricultural lines, a
great deal of interest could be
aroused among the children of
Delaware in home and school gar
dening.
The principal experiment which
will be conducted in Newark will
be in charge of Miss Agnes Medill
1t is proposed to have about thirty
gardens, at the various homes of

with the construction of a build

which is the most essential part
of building. Then he illustrated
how good material should be used

Farmers Day To Be
Held In August

Professor Harry Hayward, dir
ector of the Delaware College Ex-
pertinent Station, announced re-
Gently that it had been decided to
not have Farmers Day on the
Monday of Commencement Week
this year as has been the custom
several years past. He stated that
as commencement week comes un-
usually early this year and as the
indication are that the season
will be late, there would be little
to be seen on the farm.
Some time in August different
days will be set aside for each of
the three counties when farmers
and their friends will be invited
to the State Farm. There will be
much more of interest on the farm
to farmers at that time than there
would be in June. The fruit will
then be ripe and new feature of
interest to visitors is tn egg laying
contest. While no day of Com
mencement Week will be observed
as Farmers Day, Professor Hay
ward states that visitors will be
welcome at the farm at any time

Lecture On Dynamite
On The Farm

On Thursday, April 18th, DR..
}. II. Squires, Cornell graduate,
who is in the agricultural depart
ment of the dupont Powder Com
pany, spoke to the agricultural
students of Delaware College on
THE Use Of Explosives in Agri-
culture" After explaining that
powder was first used by the Chin
ese, he stated in some detail that
dynamite is made by the absorp-
ton of nitro-glycerine by some
such base as wood-pulp. Finished
dynamite is from twenty to sixty
per cent nitro-glycerine. A stick
of dynamite weighs about one-half
a pound, is six to eight inches
long, and about one-half inch in
diameter. The primer, by means
OF which the dynamite cartridge
IS fired, consists of a very sensi-
tive cap filled with illuminate of
mercury mixed with little chlor-
ate of potassium, and fuse which
is coated with gelatine when it is
to be used under water. DR..
Squires then said that there were
three ways of placing dynamite
for blasting: CD drilling a hole
in the rock and inserting the
charge; (2) drilling hole under
the rock in the earth by means of
crowbar and inserting the
charge (very satisfactory method)
(3) "mud-capping," which con-
Sists in laying charge on top of
the rock and covering it with foot
or so of mud. The latter method
is effective because dynamite in
exploding seems to seek the line
of greatest resistance. The speak
er then explained briefly the
methods Of stump blasting, ditch
ing and sub-soiling by dynamite

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
FOR ADULTS
Result Of Educational Confer.
ence Held Recently

Plans have practically been COM
pleted for the starting of demon
stration home making schools in
Kent and Sussex counties with the
cooperation of the United States
Bureau of Education. This will be
the first plan to be put in effect
as the result of the meeting held
here several weeks ago by repre-
sentatives of the various educa-
tional interests of the state with
DR.. ClaXton, u. S. Commissioner of
Education and specialists from
his department, when the idea of
the government cooperating with
the state authorities for an educa-
tlonal survey was discussed. At
that meeting the Cooperative Ed
ucational Association of Delaware
was organized with Professor
Harry Hayward, as president.
The principal purpose OF the dem
onstration home making schools is
to take the art of home making
direct to those who actually make
the homes. 1t is an Idea suggested
by the United States Bureau of
Education and one that the bureau
is vitally interested in.
"A conference was held last week
when the starting of these schools
was discussed. Those who attend
ed the conference were DR.. Sam
uel c. Mitchell, president of Del
aware College, Dean Winifred j.
Robinson, of the Women's College
Professor Wesley Webb, secretary
of the State Board of Agriculture
Professor Harry Hayward, presi-
dent of the Cooperative Educa.

Miss Caudell, professor of home
economics at the Women's College
Miss Carrie Lyford, specialist in
home economics from the Fedora
Bureau of Education and Miss
Foreman of Elsmere. Miss Fore
man has been engaged as one OF
the two teachers for these schools
The other teacher will be secured
in few days.

proving school conditions, which
have been considered from time
to time by the board and some
times acted on favorably.
The fact that the New Century
Club committee attended board
meetings and made suggestions is
not the real cause of the trouble,
which it is said, arises from the
committee visiting the schools on
numerous occasions and making
suggestions relative to teaching
methods and conduct in the school

RED MEN PARADE
ON THURSDAY
Complete Line Of March
Given

On Thursday evening, April %,
Minnehaha Tribe No. 25, Improved
O. R. M. of Newark, will hold a
street parade in observance of
their thirtieth anniversary, the
tribe having been instituted on
April 8, 1885. Since it's beginning
thirty years ago, the tribe has
gradually increased in member
ship until it reaches near the two
hundred and fifty mark. Although
many of the old charter members
have passed to the happy hunting
grounds, there are still a few who
can tell you something of olden
times, when they were first men,
hers. There are great advantages
to be derived from being a Red
Man. He is we'll taken care of
wherever he goes. Throughout
the United States he is welcomed
to any wigwam. If he falls in
sickness, he is taken care of by
the nearest tribe to the place
where he becomes unable to fol-
low the hunt any longer. This
tribe has been active for num-
ber of Great Suns, and has taken
care of their sick, faithfully, bur-
led their dead, and clothed the
poor time and time again. When a
member becomes so old that he can
no longer take care of himself,
there is the Fraternal Home for
Red Men, with doors wide open tc
receive him in welcome, for the re.
mainder of his days, until the
Great Spirit calls him to the
Happy Hunting Ground.
The parade will start from Rec
