people are victims of mal-nutrition, a
condition which prevents the fatty ele-

of nutrition are normal. Instead Of get
producing elements stay in the intestincs
until they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro
duce a healthy, normal amount of fat

cially supplied with the power which ma
ture has denied them. This can best be
accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet

GERARD FEARS NO TROUBLE

BERLIN. Feb. 16.-CBy Wireless to
London.)-An official statement, reading
as follows. was issued i'm Berlin today:
"ln so much as II is to the interest of
Great Britain that conflicts arise between
Germany and neutral powers. It is
thought I'm German shipping circles that
English submarines i'm order to bring
about this end, may purposely sink one
or more neutral ships. II is known also
in the shipping circle that Great Britain
has laid large quantities of mines against
German submarines.
Gerard Fears No Trouble.
BERLIN, Feb. 16-(Via London. THE
Lokal Anzeiger today publishes an inter
view with James w. Gerard, the Ameri-
can ambassador to Germany, which reads
as follows:
II regard the relations today between
our two countries calmly and with con-
fidence, and l believe pending questions
will be solved in a manner mutually sat
isfactory. Men at the head of the gov
ernments in Berlin and Washington are
not permitting themselves to be influ-
enced either by the press or by public
criticisms. The public in the United
States, as we'll as in Germany. should
await ueVelopnentS quietly -.,.t
Great Britain Can solve II.
The Cologne Gazette, commenting today
on the diplomatic situation which has
arisen out of Germany's declaration of a
marine war zone around England says
that the American note to Great Britain
contains a demand the granting of which
would at once remove or reduce to small
proportions all danger of American ship
ping. If Great Britain abandoned the use
of the Stars and Stripes. few ships would
carry this banner into the war zone
waters. To recognize a ship as American
would be equivalent to knowing it as a
neutral.

many must await patiently and show that

earnest.

fire. II was found that no meals had been
served at the club after the noon lunch-

had been practically closed at 8 o'clock
in the afternoon. The board of directors
is unable to determine how the fire
could have originated in the club roms,
as the investigation showed that at the
south end OF the building the floor has
collapsed, This fact would indicate that
the fire probably started below the fifth
floor.
President Herbert NJ Rogers, In speak

to be total loss. IL is difficult TO de-
termine the value Of this equipment, az

~tunately the run was of moderate
proportions and the disposal obtained
was generally on a par with that of
Tuesday.
Stock cattle dealers still insisted
on holdign prices down. Trade was
reasonably active, but any effort on
the part of sellers to secur stronger
rates met with no success.
Strength and action was again in
evidence in the hog department and
an advance of 5 q Toe was quoted. as
compared with the previous days av-
erage. Best price for the day for
porkers was $500, while the bulk of
the sales ranged from $6.S5 q $50.
Firm clearance was made in the

rather light and included little that
