When newspaper gives you lot of free
advertising in order to boom some concert
or entertainment in which you are interest
ed keep track of the lines that are printed
week by week and multiply that number by
the regular advertising rates of the paper.
Compare the results with the actual money
value of any favor that you get from any
other business concern. Then take into con-
sideration the fact that advertising and cir
culation are the only two things that news
paper has to sell. Now, in these days of

Perseverance Comes out ahead

In all business il is the persevering
man that comes out ahead If the
truth were known. many a business
genius is nothing but personified
persistence; and quite often he owes
his success more to logged determina-
ton than to extraordinary talents. The
sea OF business has its flood tides and
ebb-tides and il is when trade reaches
the low-water mark that the pessi-
mists and weak-willed drop out They
forget that the tide must change be-
cause OF a fixed law No doubt. the
difference between success and failure
can be measured by perseverance. The
man who will not admit the word fail
ure IN his thoughts is sprinkling salt
ON tire tail Of achievement. While the
man who groans, grunts and grumbles
and thinks failure possible is trying to
catch il with a bass drum The way TO
be successful is 10 think success-and
the way To have good business is 10 go
after it.

To Put On Flesh
And Increase Weight
A Physicians Advice

Most thin people eat from four to six
pounds of good solid fat-making food ev
cry day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce, while on the other
hand many of the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly 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
Thin folks stay thin because their pow
ers of assimilation are defective. They
absorb just enough of the food they eat
and strength. Stuffing won't help them.
A dozen meals day won't make them
gain a single stay there pound. All the
fat-producing elements of their food just
stay in the inteStines until they pass from
the body as waste. What such people need
is something that will prepare these fatty
food elements so that their blood can abb
sorb them and deposit them all about the
body-something, too, that will multiply
their red blood corpuscles and increase
their blood's carrying power.
For such a condition l always recon-
mend eating a Sargol tablet with every
patented drug. but is a scientific COM
powerful flesh building elements known
to chemistry. 1t is absolutely harmless,
yet wonderfully effective and single
tablet eaten with each meal often has
the effect of increasing the weight of a
thin man or woman from three to five
pounds a week Sargol is sold by Arnold
Drug Co, and other good druggists ey-
erywhere on a positive guarantee OF
