What Thin Folks Should
Do To Gain Weight
Physicians Advice For Thin, Unde-
veIoped Men and Women

Thousands of people suffer from ex-
cessive thinness, weak nerves and
feeble stomachs who, having tried adj
vertised flesh makers, food ads. physi-
cal culture stunts and rub creams.
resign themselves to lifelong skinni-
ness and think nothing will make them
fat. Yet their case is not hopeless. A
recently discovered regenerative force
makes fat grow after years of thinness,
and is also unequalled for repairing
the waste of sickness or faulty di-
gestion and for strengthening the
nerves This remarkable discovery is
called Sargol. Six strength giving. fat
producing elements OF acknowledged
merit have been combined in this peer
less preparation, which is endorsed by
| eminent physicians and used by promi-
nent people everywhere. 1t Is abso-
lutely harmless, inexpensive and ef-
| ficient.
| A months systematic use of Sargol
| should produce flesh and strength by
J 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. Al! leading druggists
supply Sargol and say there is large
! demand for II.
| While thig new preparation has given
splendid results as a nerve-tonic and
vitalizer, it should not be used by
nervous people unless they wish to gain
at least ten pounds of flesh.

South Reconc;led
to Use of Flag

That sentiment towards the flag In
the south. which few years ago WAS
still bitter, is becoming more in ac-
cord with that felt here in the north
is shown by letter received at the
soldiers home from George Andrews a
member of the home. now visiting ms
family at Biloxi Miss.
In referring TO this sentiment MI
Andrews says: II find the sentiment
much changed In the last five years
towards the flag and the north. for yes
terday the streets We're beautifully DEC
grated With the stars and stripes
few years ago l could not buy an
American flag for my little boy in the
whole town. but today the old nag
floats over the high school, the post
office, and many OF the business
houses
In addition to his statements con-
corning the fag Mr.. Andrews says
that Biloxi has over $50 northerners
spending the winter there, including
many veterans He adds that the south
is complaining bitterly over the nara
times, and that many white men are
out of work, on account Of being uh-
able to compete with the low wages
which satisfy the negroes. Much crit
cism OF the administration over It's
attitude on the handling OF the cotton
crop is heard on every hand says Mr..
Andrews.

KEEP
BOWELS REGULAR

NO HEADACHE, SOUR STOMACH,
BAD COLD OR CONSTlPA.
TON BY MORNING.
Get a Decent box.

Get a Decent DoS.
Colds-whether in the head or any
part of the body-are quickly over
come by urging the liver TO action and
keeping the bowels free OF poison.
Take Cascarets tonight and you will
wake up with a clear mead and no
doubt you will wonder what became
of your cold. Cascarets work while
you sleep; they cleanse and regulate
the stomach. remove the sour, undi-
gested food and foul gases; take the
excess bile from the liver and carry
off the constipated waste matter and
poison from the bowels.
Remember the quickest way to get
rid of colds is one or two Cascarets al
night to cleanse the system. Get 10
cent box at any drug store. Don't
forget the children. They relish this
Candy Cathartic and 1t is often al
that is needed to drive cold from
their little systems.
