and the board may name a manager at
$500 a year and other officers. The
fund is expected to be started early

work are now being taken by the In
sGrance Department officials.

THIN FOLKS WHO
WOULD BE FAT
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or
More
A Physicians Advice

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such result is
not impossible. despite past failures.
Thin people are victims of mal-nutri- =
ton. a condition which prevents the
fatty elements of food from being taken
up by the blood as they are when the
powers of nutrition are normal In
stead of getting into the blood all the
fat and flesh producing elements stay
in the intestines until they pass from
the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy normal amount of fat
the nutritive processes must be artifi-
cially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can best
be accomplished by eating SargoI
tablet with every meal. Sargol is a
scientific combination of six of the best
strength giving. fat-producing elements
known to the medical profession. Taken
turns the sugars and starches into rich,
ripe nourishment for the tissues and
blood and its rapid effect is remark
able. Reported gains of from ten to
twenty five pounds in a single month
are by no means infrequent. Yet it's
solutely harmless Sargol is sold by
George A Gorgas and other good drug
gists everywhere and every package
contains a guarantee of weight in
crease or money back.
Cautioni-While Sargol has produced
remarkable results in the treatment of
nervous indigestion and general stom-

increase their weight ten pounds or
more.-AdVertiseme
