Sxpsrt-Eow TO Turn Food into
Healthy Flesh,

The reason that some PEOPLE are
chronically thin and under normal
weight saws a noted authority, is be-
cause or a chronic leakage OF the fat
making elements In their food The
asslmllatlve functions of their stomach
and intestines are not working properly
only small portion Of the food nour-
ishment Of their meals ever reaches
their hlood--iust enough perhaps to keep
LIE within the body--the rest passes out
as waste: The problem Of gaining weight
and flesh depends entirely therefore on
a natural stopping of this dangerous
waste of fats and the correction and
repair OF the organs Of assimilation.
For those who wish to gain healthy
tlesh and put on from ten to twenty
pounds of weight a single Sargol tablet
taken at meals for few weeks will
almost invariably produce the desired
effect. Sargol does not of itself build
flesh. but. swallowed with your food II
acts upon every mouthful YOU eat. first
separating all the fats, oils. sugars.

rails from the food waste and then pre-
pairing all the nourishing elements in a
form which the blood can readily accept
and distribute all over the body. SarEo
stops the leakage OF fats. Keeps all he
allows only the worthless waste to leave
II. 1t further repairs the faulty organs
of assimilation, enabling In EN- gradually
to properly perform their natural func
tions so that the new found flesh stays

Its action is natural and harmless and

LIGHT COMPANY TO
RESIST ORDINANCE
President Harries Informs Mayor
and Council His Firm Cannot
Accept New Terms.
CUTS RETURNS TO 5 PER CENT

President Harries of the Omaha
Electric Light and Power company
has advised the mayor and council
by letter that enforcement OF the new
electric rate and power ordinance
would result in less than per cent
returns on the assessed valuation OF
the plant: that acceptance OF the
terms of the ordinance is impossible
by the company and that resistance
will be made through the courts un-
less the city officials reconsider their
action.
The ordinance becomes operative
May 10 unless action is taken by the
city council.
Assistant City Attorney Lambert
states IL is up to the company to sho v
wherein the proposed rates are un-
reasonable, and he adds that II the
company shows a sincere desire to
disclose their operations he believes
the city legal department would agree
to hearing the company before taking
further action. Mr.. Lambert sug-
gests that Il may be necessary to
make a physical valuation OF the
plant.
Reduced schedule.
| The ordinance TO which the light COM
peny now objects Is the result OF ordin-
ances offered by the mayor and Commits
sioner Butler. The new schedule places
the primary rate at cents and the secon-
dairy at 50 cents per kilowatt hour for
residence lighting and a reduced schedule
for other classifications.
Mayor Dahlman will consult with the
| legal department before recommending
what steps the city should take in this
matter. This ordinance was ono Of the
campaign cards Of the Square Seven and
the mayor feels II is incumbent upon him
to make good his promise OF reduced
electric light rates.

French shells OF this type.
The development of shrapnei shell
represents vast amount of expert
menting and study and has, perhaps
reached perfection by becoming the
most deadly and terrifying machines
used in the civilized CD warfare OF
today. Its makeup is intensely inter
esting especially to those who are lono
of machinery for some OF tho most

ments are used In its manufacture
EVERYTHING must be accurate or the
shell will be of no value Whatever. Tor
the slightest deviation from the pat

noted war weapon expert who says,
"The shrapnel projectile consists of a
hollow cylindrical body with an oeival
or conoidal head: in the interior near
the base there is an explosive charge.
and Immediately above the charge
there is an iron disk, and between this
disk and the head the body OF the
proiectilc is filed with bullets. The
fuse is fixed in the peint Of the pro-
jectile and communicates with the
powder oS ,hnrsting charge through =
