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
stuffing it with greasy. foods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thfnness
goes untouched. You cannot get fat
until your digestive tract assimilates
the food you eat.
There is a preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere
which seemingly embodies, the miss
ing elements needed by the digestive
organs to help them convert food IN
to rich, fat-laden blood. This modern
treatment is called Sargol and has
been termed the greatest of flesh
builders. Sargol aims through re-gen-
erative, re-constructive powers to
coax the stomach and intestines to
literally soak up the fattening ele'
ments of your food and pass them in
| to the blood, where they are carried
! to the starved, broken-down cells
| and tissues of your body. You can
readily picture what result this amaz
ing Transformation should produce as
| with increased weight the cheeks I'LL
out, hol1ows about neck, shoulders
| and bust disappear and from 10 to 20
| pounds of solid, healthy flesh is added
to the body. Sargol is absolutely
harmless, inexpensive. efficient. AL
leading druggists of this vicinity have
| 1t and will refund your money If you
are not satisfied, as per the guarantee
found in every package
! NOTE: -Sargol is Recommended
| only as flesh builder and while eX
cellent results in cases of nervous in
digestion, etc, have been reported
care should be taken about using Il
iunIess a gain of weight is desired.

twice in those years has there been a

record, one not surpassed by any
country. No people are ever prepared
for a partial crop failure, but GER
tainly country with record such
as has Monona county and Iowa
stands without peer in the regular

PAQUETTE FAILS TO
 GET HERDS MEDAL

FAIRBANKS. Sept 12.-Despite the fact that several influential people of Fairbanks have been working in be- half of such more. word was receiv. ed here yesterday that the Carnegie Hero Medal Commission has failed to award medal to John Paquette for his heroic work on Cleary creek last winter, when he saved the life of his partner Manley Mayhood. Nu- merous local people have sent letters to the commission recommending Pa Quette for one Of the medals and the commission evidently thought enough of it to investigate the matter fur ther but it was not until yesterdays mail that their decision arrived here, and it was in the negative.
 When Paquette saved the life of his partner by his energetic efforts to climb the sheer walls of 40 foot shaft. he was also making an attempt to save his own life It is intlmated in the communication received here yesterday that the medal has not been awarded to him for that reason.
 The story itselif bears repeating
 Last winter Paquette and Mayhood were taking out Q windlass dump on No. 4 below on Cleary creek. Pa Quette was working in the hole and Mayhood on the windlass. For some unaccountable reason which he even afterwards was unable to explain, Mayhood fell down the shaft, barely missing Paquette and the windlass bucket when he hit the bottom.
 When Mayhood fell he dragged the windlass cable down with him, taking it from the drum. PaQuette there fore had no way to get out He knew it meant almost certain death by freez- ing for he and his partner to remain through the cold winters night at the bottom of the shaft even were there a certainty that help could be attracted to the place in the morning.
 He therefore started to climb the shaft Inch by inch he worked him self upward by the aid of an old piece of board and two steam points. He fell backward several times, falling once when he was half way up the shaft After 12 hours hard work he reached the top exhausted but soon rushed away in search for help for his partner.
 Mayhood lived to tell the tale but was never tho same afterward. He left Fairbanks for the Ruby camp sev- eral months ago and a short time later it was reported that he had gone Outside for (Fair- banks News-Miner)

FISHING SCHOONER IS BURNED TO
 WATERS EDGE

PRINCE RUPERT. B. C., Sept. 17.
 News has reached the city this morning that a Seattle gasoline fish ing schooner had been burned to the waters edge at Rose Spit last night after a terrible race with death from the flames. The boat was the Mich ael Anderson" of Seattle, a vessel 90 feet long and carrying crew of 10
 While in Dixon's entrance last ev- ening fire broke out in the boat through some unexplained cause, and speedily gained such headway that the crew had to fight for their lives.
 Determined efforts were made to quanch the flames and the skipper of the boat headed her for the sand bank of Rose Spit. The crew hung on to their work until the last possible minute and after the boat had been run ashore in the surf to beat the flames.
 But by this time the schooner was burning fore and aft, and ail hope of saving her was abandoned. The men took to the boats, saved from the fire and were helped by another power boat from Masset which had come out and from which the fire had been seen. The crew arc now at Masset.-(Prince Rupert Empire)

At the Orpheum tonight the feature will be HARD CASH" from the no- vel of Charles Reade. This is one of the greatest dramatic tales ever writ ten and makes a stirring photo play. A great sea fight, the terrible life in an old-time asylum, the battle of two greedy souls for the possession of money, and a tale of love, all add to the interest and makes 1t a strong two-part feature

DELEGATE HAS NAUGHT TO SAY
 IN RE POLITICS

FAIRBANKS. Sept. 12.- CT can't say what I'll do next year" said Dele. gate James Wiclersham yesterday when informed that some of tho coast papers had intimated that he would not be a candidate for Congress again and asked by a representative of The Times If he would make any announce ment at this time.
 "Eiection Is too far away and as don't know what Ill do, it might be embarrassing next year to make any announcement at this time, he continued. When informed that Jack Underwood. in the Seattle Times, had suggested that he probably would throw his strength to Dan Sutherland in the next race for Delegate, he re- piled: Well, Jack Underwood is not in my confidence and cannot know what may do" The Delegate then went on to say that he had tried to induce Dan Sutherland to run at the 1912 election and would have thrown him his support. but he would not ac- cept. and Mr. Wickersham doubts # he would consider 1t now. He stated further. however. that he did not know positively what frame of mind Mir. Sutherland would be in at this time (Fairbanks Times)

Anent the question of whether Se- attle has lost the halibut fishing busi- ness to Prince Rupert, B. C., is a ser les of articles which have been ap- bearing in a Seattle newspaper. two fo tho articles are as follows:
 SEATTLE. Sept 1S.-while busi- ness men and business organizations are looking around for ways and means of keeping the payroll up to the present standard in Seattle, and planning to increase it. they probab' ly win not overlook recent changes In the aspect of the fisheries indus try and its relation to the business and commerce Of the community.
 Radical changes have taken place in this industry. SO far as Seattle's interest in the halibut is concerned
 Prince Rupert. being closed to the halibut beds now prontably produc tive. has grabbed the bulk of the husi ness.
 It was. In O sense. the normal and logical result Of present conditions.
 Halibut fishermen could not be ex pected to float halibut from as fai north as Ketchilan to Seattle wher there was difference of only from a cent and cent and Q half pel pound between the Seattle price and the Prince Rupert price. As fact many or the fishermen frankly admil they make more money by avoiding the longer haul to Seattle even Il forced to sell at a cent and a hal per pound less at Prince Rupert.
 The beds close to Seattle have prac tlcaIy been exhausted. The shifting of the business to Prince Rupert was in the course of things.
 Meanwhile. there is considerable Seattle money invested in this busi ness. and in the local establishment. there are several hundred presons who are depending upon this indus try for @ living.
 or course the federal government may uncover new halibut beds close to Seattle. but pending that time with anywhere from probably lift, to eighty-iive per cent. of the bust ness switching from Seattle Go Prince Rupert. there is @ chance for som' real helpful work to be done to en able Seattle to maining its prestige In the fisheries industry.

FAIRBANKS MUCH BUslER THAN DURING
 THE LAST SEASON

FAIRBANKS. Sept. G. The Times says:
 For months. good reports have been received from the Tolovana district The effects upon Fairbanks were good. but 1t was not until the last month that the real effect, the finan- cial effect, was felt to any degree in Fairbanks. according to several prom inent merchants. Many little lots of merchandise had been purchased be- fore. but the month of August was the banner month for big Tolovana outfits, and indications are that Sep tember will be even better.
 volney Richmond. superintendent of the Northern Commercial company. who was acting agent in Fairbanks at the present time, stated last even- ing that his company had noticed the increase in business more during the month of August than ever before As compared with August of 1914, the sales were considerably larger in amount in all the departments.
 Yesterday. the first day of the month. started out again with a leap, mnay outfits preparing to get away on the Dan this morning. Mir. Rich mond thinks that September will be much better than August, so far as the Tolovana business is concerned, while the other busiess Of the camp will hold it's own at least With the Tolovana district before the public for the winter and the influx of popula- ton in tho spring when railroad con- struction starts Mir. Richmond sees a bright winter ahead ann with a big boom after the breakup next spring
 Duncan Michie. who has been in the North for many years. in the Yu- ko Territory and Alaska, says that Fairbanks today is better camp than any other in the North, espec- ially for the poor man. He says also that there is a better class of pros pectors within a radius of a hundred miles of Fairbanks than in any oth- CT section of the North. and as he considers the camp to be in the heart of the greatest mineral belt in the world, he sees nothing nut prosperity looming up in the future. Neither he nor Mir. Richmond mean to infer that the country will develop without hard struggle, but they think that by hard work, Fairbanks will continue to be the great camp of the Interior and of all Alaska.

CROW CREEK, NEAR RUBY HAS STAMPEDE
 oF MUCH MYSTERY

RUBY, Sept. 4.-For the past sew eral days a stampede has been going on, the zelnth of which was reached in the dark O the night last night, when twenty-five or thirty people em- parked in various motor boats and headed against the current of the Yu- kon.
 The utmost that could be learned of the objective point of the stam- peders up to noon today is that it is creek on the northern side of the Yukon ten or twelve miles above Ru- by; the creek is seven miles long, is "wet." and Is called Crow Creek.
 Whether Grow" is an old or a new name is an open question. The char acter of the find that started the agi- tation is a mystery as dark as the name of the discoverer
 During the week mysterious disap- pearances have been notified by the town esidents-husbands and wives have vanished without formal elave- taking, and something has been sus- pected to be going on out of the or dinary; but a stampede was not gen. orally talked of until Thursday. It was last night that o report was cir. culated to the effect that people had been making nocturnal departures across the hill, swerving to the river bank and buclSing the Yukon in all manner of small boats.
 News of the affair has spread to the creeks, and telephone calls from Long are insistent for news today.
 Nobody has returned from the creek and there is nothing more to tell.- (Record- -Citizen.)

A Flsherman's View
Nrr. Editor.

Mr. Editor.
 You have asked me Go read the above. then Co give you my version of the halibut industry being taken from Seattle to Prince Rupert. Please excuse all mistakes in the matter of words as I have followed the sea so long that my education Is not what it ought to be. will however. give tho fshermen's side. which is my side:
 For years all Of the halibut fish ermen on this part Of the coast have sold their catches in Seattle. the most part to the large fish companies. Se- attle was practically the only market. Finally Prince Rupert. made a bid for our catches. Every fisherman in the business immediately found out that we were securing more weight In Prince Rupert than we ever did In Seattle. For instance. ! went in- to Prince Rupert with S5.00o pounds Of halibut. The catch weighed out 82.O00 and was paid accordingly. was surprised for my catch was always nearly 35.OO0. but in Seattle ! seldom weighed out more than S0.- 900 and many times only 10000 to 25.000. Other fishermen had the same results. Now. the question is. have the Seattle companies been gouging the fishermen for years?
 During the past three months. fish ermen taking their catches to Prince Rupert have received more than they ever did in Seattle. Then again. the Seattle companies have five to ten different grades by which they judge fish. Tn Prince Rupert there are on- ly two grades. first and second. The fish is the same whether landed in Seattle or Prince Rupert. The Brit ish Columbia dealers have paid us according to Seattle price prevailing on the local exchange.
 For instance. if fish was selling in Seattle at five cents. in Prince Ru- pert ! would be paid four and one half cents. It would cost me the ex- tra half cent to make the three-day trip to Seattle. It is the grading and the weight that has lost Seattle it's halibut business.
 Hardly a Seattle fish company ex- ists but that started out In the most humble circumstances. Now the com panies control the output to a certain extent. Fish sold at Prince Rupert and shipped east is sold at the same price as the fish purchased in Seattle and expressed to the eastern mark etc. At present the Grand Trunk is generally two days behind Seattle h

MELVIN DEMPSEY
 BELIEVED DEAD 

~
 CORONA, Sept. 2S.-It is believed here that Melvin Dempsey postmast- CT at Gulkana. is dead. Dempsey left Gulkana for Slate Creek on August 24th, and has not been heard from since.
 Several searching parties have been sent out but they have been unable to find any trace of the man. It is generally bezlieved here that he must have drowned while trying to ford the Gulkana river A few have ex- pressed the fear that he has been chosen as the latest victim of the trail murderers who have been operat- ing this year.
 Postmaster Dempsey is an old tim- CT and thoroughly familiar with the country through which he had to so, and upon this fact is based the belief that he has met with foul play.
