THIN PEOPLE CAN
INCREASE WEIGHT

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10 or
Is pounds Of healthy stay there" fat
should try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note re-
suits. Here is good test worth try
ing. First weigh yourself. Then take
Sargol--one tablet with every meal
for two weeks Then weigh and
measure again. It isn't question of
how you look or fell or what your
friends say and think. The scales
and the tape measure will tell their
own story, and many thin men and
women we believe can easily add from
five to eight pounds in the first four
teen days by following this simple
direction. And best of all, the new
flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but making with your food. it aims to
turn the fats, sugars and starches OF
what you have eaten, into rich, ripe
fat producing nourishment for the
tissues and blood-prepare it in an
easy assimilated torn which the blood
can readily accept. Much Of this
body as waste. But Sargol works to
stop the waste and do 1t quickly and
to make the fat producing contents OF
the very same meals you are eating
now develop pounds and pounds of
healthy flesh between your skin and
bones. Sargol is safe. pleasant, effic-
lent and inexpensive. Thistlethwaites
and other leading druggists in this
vicinity sell 1t in large boxes-forty
tablets to a package--on a guarantee
Of weight increase or money back as
found in each large box.

EARLY CITY
HISTORY
@ Contributions on the pioneer
days of Richmond will ap-
pear in this column daily.

A Scotch Patriarch in the New
World. In early times there lived about
a mile and one-half southeast OF Rich
mond q Scotch family consisting Of
the father and mother, two SONS and
five daughters. A lady who was rear.
ed in the nsighborhood told me the
following stories OF their peculiarities:
She said the father did not allow
his daughters to leave home with:
out his protection. ind they worked in
the field with their brothers. No
visitors were allowed ct the home and
the daughters were commanded not
to speak to any man. When one OF
them disobeyed by talking to neigh.
Dor over a fence, she was shut IN her
room for several days on a diet OF
bread and water.
The family was cut off altogether
from Intercourse with the world. They
had no papers or books except the
Psalm Book and the Bible.
The Patriarch was a good farmer
and had a commodious home. His
daughters each had a spinning wheel
and when one spun they all spun. They
also each had bucket, and when
water was needed all the buckets
went to the spring for supply. This
concert of action was carried out
in every department of labor on the
farm.
= The father was strictly impartial
in the treatment Of his daughters. II
one OF them wanted an article of dress
he brought the five to the village and
allowed each one to select similar
article for themselves. His ideas OF
paternal government We're in vogue
in Scotland in the eighteenth cen
fury. but were hardly applicable to
frontier Indiana in the early thirties.
One of his inflexible rules was that
the eldest daughter should be mar
ried first and the others in success
sion according to age. One son mar
RED and went farther west. The
younger son remained with the fam
lily until he and his father died OF
cholera. 1t was said they were buried
in the same grave.
This son was in the harvest field
with some other young men who were
teasing him about his homespun
clothes. They asked him why he didn't
get some store clothes and go court
ing He replied that he had a cloth
suit which he had never worn. AS
they did not believe him Ia went to
the house and brought out package
just as it had been received from
the tailor's several years before.
When the package was opened the suit
was found riddled BY moths. 1t
seemed that the young man had
bought his wedding suit before he had
gained the consent Of the young lady.
When was a little girl l was al
ways anxious to get on my Sunday
dress and have my hair brushed in
time to see the McClures pass by on
their way to church.
They walked in single file-first
the father. then the mother, the old
est daughter followed and the others
In regular succession. The youngest
son brought up the rear. 1t was his
duty to see that the women kept in
line and looked neither to the right
or left
The women were dressed in Scotch
plaids or in printed goods with large
flowers. There was always a reticule.
