and the remainder were scattered
through other types of institutions
The teachers for this educational army

in public schools. In point of rapid
growth. the public high school still
presents the most impressive figures.
the enrolment for 1914 is greater by
over $4,000 than for the year before.
The cost of education for the year,

PARIS. July 20.-In spite of German
assertions to the contrary, it is stated
that the French have as yet employed
no foreign-made munitions. and their
artillery. which is the strongest and
most effective arm of their army, has
been able to depend wholly upon France
for its projectiles. The possibility that
the occasion might one day call for
even more extraordinary quantities Of
shells than are required now, and es
pccially the munitions agitation in
England. have led tho French TO fore
see and discount any sudden need
which might arise by the appointment
Of an undcrsecretary OF state for war.
whose duty should be to give particu-
lar attention to the production of mu-
nitions for the French army and navy.
Already Albert Thomas, the incum
oent OF this post, has organized the
service OF military production in three
general divisions a technical service
an Industrial service and a labor SER
tee. At the head Of each he has placed
competent man familiar with the work
before them. At the head Of the tech
nical service. Mr.. Thomas has set three
military officers, themselves technical
experts. who have also had pruc

Says Thin People
Can Increase Weight
Food Alone Produces Fat. Says Noted
Expert-How to Turn Food Into
Healthy Flesh.

The reason that some people are
chronically thin and under normal
weight, says a noted authority, is be-
cause of a chronic leakage Of the fat
making elements in their food. The
assimilative functions of their stomach
and intestines are not working properly.
Only a small portion of the food nour-
ishment of their meals ever reaches
their blood-just enough perhaps to
keep life within the body-the rest
passes out as waste. The problem of
gaining weight and flesh depends en-
tirely therefore on natural stopping
! uf this dangerous waste Of fats and the
correction and repair of the organs OF
| assimilation.
For those who wish to gain healthy
| flesh and put on from ten to twenty
pounds of weight a single Sargol table,
| taken at meals for few weeks will
almost invariably produce the desired
effect Sargol does not Of itself builG

Sargol stops the leakage of fats, keep!

the body, allows only the worthless

ard c. Hughes, secretary of the Pres

pose of consultation with Robert b.
Wallace, concerning the Bruce Crossley
memorial church to be constructed at
Ames. Excavation for this building is
to begin in tine near future.
The subject of discussion in this con-
nection had reference to details only,
The general plan. of an interdenomina-
tional institutional church will be car
ried out The plans now contemplate
a wider interest and q large activity IN
the project on the part Of friends of the
late Bruce Crossley.
A committee of his friends in Potta-

sanized to represent the interests Of
Pottawattamie county in this work
The alumni of the college in the state
have also manifested an active inter-
est in this memorial feature.
Many letters nave Deen leSciNSu ~
the Ames people commencing both the
memorial features of the plan and the
fact that it is to be broadened out and
made interdenominational and instltu-
tional in scope.
1t has developed in the discussion OF
this proposed work that the spirit
manifested by the young man 10 whose
memory the building is to be dedicat-
ed is exercising wonderful influence
in shaping the course OF those who are
directing the work.
Bruce was broad minded" remarked
one of these men. His chief delight
was to go about his way in spirit OF
optimism and good cheer, doing good
to all with whom he came in contact
Denominational differences didn't con-
Germ him in the least"
The wish of those who are pushing
this proposed memorial church is to
make the institution an instrument for
carrying forward the religious activ-
tiles of the student body at Ames with
this Crossley breadth OF spirit and de-
sire 10 help others onward in the eff
fort to attain things worth while IN
