Thin Men and Women
Do You Want to Get Fat and Be
Strong?

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist on
drugging their stomach or stuff1ng 1T with
greasy foods; rubbing on useless flesh
creams" following some foolish physical
culture stunt, while the real cause of thin
ness goes untouched. You cannot get fat
until your digestive tract properly assim-
Hates the food you eat.
There is a preparation known to reliable
druggists almost everywhere, which seem
ingly embodies the missing elements needed
by the digestive organs to help them CON
vert food into rich. fat-laden blood This
preparation is called Sargol and much re-
markable testimony is given as to its sue
comes in the form of a small non-in1urious
tablet. taken at meals and mixing with the
digesting food tends to prepare it's fat
flesh and muscle building elements so that
the blood readily accept and carry
them to the starved portions of the body.
You can readily picture the transformation
that additional and previously lacking
flesh king material should bring with
your cheeks filling out, hollows about your
neck shoulders and bust disappearing and
your taking from 10 to 20 pounds of
solid healthy flesh. Sargol is harmless:
Inexpensive, efficient. Arnold Drug Co. and
other leading druggists of this vicinity
have it and are authorized to refund your
money if weight increase is not obtained
as per the guarantee found in each large
package
NOTE =Sargol is recommended only as
a flesh builder and while excellent results
in cases of nervous Indigestion, etc, have
been reported care should be taken about
using it unless a gain of weight is desired.

HAD SECRET FUNERAL
Body of Mrs. Rockefeller Inferred
After Four Months.

New York, Aug. 11.-Taken through
a driving hailstorm from the vault at
Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown, in which it
had rested since March Is, the body
OF Mrs. John d. Rockefeller was
buried Tuesday in Lakeview cemetery,
Cleveland. Such secrecy marked the
removal that only with the arrival of
the coffin at Cleveland did the plan of
the family become known. 1t had
been Mr.. Rockefeller's purpose from
the time of his wife's death, March
2 to lay her to rest in Cleveland, her
girlhoOd home. The controversy over
his taxes, which threatened to keep
MIN away from that city and the fear
that q demonstration might mark the
coming of the body led, however, 70 a
delay of four and one-half months
Meantime Mr.. Rockefeller had gone to
Cleveland for the summer and when
attention came to be distracted from
him, he set about fulfilling his plan
Mrs Rockefe1ler's body was placed
in the Archbold vault March Is. Twice

First Honors.
TED MEREDITH and Joseph
Loomis, the Chicago athlete

TIED MEREDITH and Joseph
LOOMS. the Chicago athlete
who won three national titles,
last year. divided first honors at the
Millrose Games In Madison Square
Garden last night. In the opinion OF
the 10000 who damned the Garden.
Meredith and LOOMS could easily run
dead heat In popularity race.
Meredith sensationally won the COO
yard special, beating out such stars
as Tom Halpin Of Boston and Homer
Baker. and coming within one-nfth
Of second Of equalhns the worlds
record. Aeredith's feat was undoubt-
eddy the feature Of the games. but
athletic crowds are rather used to
seeing the Olympic champion defeat
his opponents.
With Loomis IL was different. Hero
was q tall. lanky Chicago youngster
who won three national titles at
Baltimore last year. but had never
competed In New York. Once the
newcomer swung into action It was
plainly seen how he made his reputa-
ton. The best that can be said OF
young Mr.. Loomis IL that he has
probably only made his start In ath-
letics and that he has the ability to
go further along the championship
path.

events had been run OF. was packed

ful move that has bee,, made this
winter to put the national game on a
foundation that will bear the most
minute scrutiny Of its system and
mako honest com. ati;ion possible.
Despite systematic abus, Of tho
Federal League and Its aims, there
has been a rebound In the various
bluffs and threats by organized base
ball which las brought the fans
nearer to the truth. One of the alb
surdities OF the stand taken by lead
ers In organized baseball 10 that OF
being wholly unmindful Of the aid
given by the public, press and tho
greatness OF the game Itself. and taxi
ing all the credit for the development
OF the sport to themselves. This self
esteem has made 1t possible for GER
tain leaders in organizcd baseball to
convince themselves that domination
of q national game has been exclu-
sively reserved for them. and that all
its popularity can be attributed to the
grip certain men have had on the poll
tics OF the game. as played by the
magnates.
The Federal League has never be-
lieved that a place In organized base
ball for it's circuit would be the cure
all for evils now existing. There must
be n legal contract FOR players and
there should be no restriction on the
number Of leagues IN this country
II a body OF honorable promoters OBJ
tanned the necessary grounds in the
various cities and legally acquired

to their continuance in the national

Gus concert.
1t came time for the runners In the
spirits to come on the track. In some
mysterious way the crowd quickly
spotted q tall blond youth wearing
the colors Of the Chicago A. A.. who
limbered up gingerly. That's Loom
IS was the half-whispered utterance
that ran around the Garden.
LOOMS won his heat in the 7o-yard
dash In 2-5s. He displayed speed.
stamina, ability and grit--all the
qualifications Of a great champion.
Loomis was unplaced In the sprint
nnals, due mostly to hard luck. Eight
runners started In six lanes. LOOMS
was In the middle. and Just as he
was about to cut loose for the final
few yards he was closely pressed,
which prevented him from getting a
full swing Of HIS arms at tho expense
OF top speed. Though debated, he
was heartily cheered.
Taking only brief rest, Loomis
was again In action, this time In the
running high Jump. Here the Chi
he carried always first honors after
one OF the most sensational, jumps
seen here in years.
Looms. who seemed tall enough to
step right over the bars, took his first
try at feet inches. This height
was steadily worked up to six feet
| and the newcomer finally made his
| supreme effort at 6 feet inch.
Not satisfied with his showing,
LOOMS entered his third event OF
the evening. the low hurdles. While
taking a warming UP he tripped over
!, one OF the hurdles and fell heavily.
In his heat he came In second, but
was shut out In the finals.
Meredith's winning Of the 600 was
q thriller. He toed the mark with
Tom Halpin. Homer Baker. Dave

Increasing his stride, gradually
worked ahead as the field shot around
the track and finished about eigh,
feet In front of Halpin. Meredith's
time was minute Is SIS seconds
which was within one nth Of a sec
ond OF equalling Halpin's world's
record. Had Meredith been harder
pressed he probably could have bet
tered or maybe broken the mark.
While Meredith and LOOMS wers
