Thin Men and Women
Here's a Safe Easy Way TO Gain 10 to
80 lbs. Of Solid, Healthy,
Permanent Flesh

, +.
Thin, nervous, undeveloped men ana
women everywhere are heard to say,
81 can't understand why do not get
fat. / eat plenty of good, nourishing
food The reason is just this: You
cannot get fat, no matter how much
you eat, unless your digestive organs
assimilate the fat-making elements OF
your food instead of passing them
out through the body as waste.
What is needed is means of gently
urging the assimilative functions OF
the stomach and intestines to absorb
the oils and fats and hand them over
to the blood, where they may reach
the starved, shrunkan, rundown It's
sues and, build them up. The thin per-
sons body is like dry sponse-eager
and hungry for the fatty materials or
which it is being deprived by the
failure of the alimentary canal to
take them from the food. The best
way to overcome this sinful waste or
flesh building elements and to stop
the leakage Of fats is to use Sargol,
the recently discovered regeneratlve
force that is recommended so hfgnly
DIV physicians here and abroad. Take
a little Sargo1 tablet with every meal
and notice how quickly your cheeks
fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh

Caution:-While Sargol has pro-

While there is more or less uncer-
tainty in business circles as to what
will be the effect of the war on bust
ness, there Is never any question that
state like Iowa will always find !

Reported That Farmers Near Pro-
posed Big Drainage Field Plan
to Oppose This 4
Work.
TO RENEW OLD FIGHT
Some of the Residents Wish to Enter
Protests to the Board
After Engineer
Reports.

According to the Fort Madison
Gem City, the proposed Green bay
drainage district project in which 10
cal people are interested, may be OPP
posed by the farmers in the vicinity.
The Gem City's article says:
The plans of the extensive drainage
project, in which $4,000 acres OF
land are to be realized in the Green
Bay district north Of the city and
scheme that is being promoted under
the direction of the Edmund I. FER
kins Engineering Co., OF Chicago, Is
finding disfavor among the residents
of that district In fact, it now is being
agitated among the residents CT that
section that objections be made
against the scheme to the county
board of supervisors after the report
of the county engineer on the matter
is presented to that body.
The pla,,s of the big engineering
company are to secure the aid OF the
county in retaining the valuable
tract of land and to then pay the
county for the work and expense in
Cured. The scheme was heralded
by many as boon to Fort Madison
and vicinity, while others were op-
posed to the move.
II the farmers IN the dlStrlct OF
Green Bay, again enter into objection
to the proposed scheme of reclama-
ton, it will renew the old fight that
was threshed out several years ago,
when the Stone e Webster Co. made
an effort to reclaim the valuable tract
of land.
That there will be some objections
to the present proposed scheme OF es-
tablishing a drainage district is GER
tain, according to statements coming
from authoritative sources of the dis
trict north of the city.

Newspapers Free Service.

If a board of trade is organized to
boom a town it finds that it is eXpen-
sive work. Secretaries must be hired,
Office rent paid, supplies must be set
tied for in cash. People usually make
no discount because the work is for
public cause. Meanwhile the news
paper is booming the home town all
the time, and for the most or the
services it renders it asks no pay. III
it's motives are not wholly unselfish,
at least it is far-sighted enough TO
expect it's compensation in the added
nrosperity that comes to all enter
nrises when a town grows. In view
of all this unpaid service it is fair to
ask a reciprocal spirit on the part OF
its home community. This newspa-
per is not complaining of its support
which has been generous and friend

The Last Of sir. Williamson

lch!AO JourAal.J
Emery c. Williamson, in his lates,
statement given TO the newspapers.
Il lengthy hot air ebulition la
W iliamsOn, addressed ITO those in
terested in the discovery of oil"
says: AS an oil well it the Cres
cent? is failure" Now, if Mr..
Williamson will frankly admit that.
as an GILMAN | am failure, those in
terested in the discovery of oil will,
or try to, forgive and forget him.
Williamson ends his statement bv
saying, Il will now take up my realty
business where l quit it eighteen
months ago and unless someone does
1t before me | will yet drill a we'll
through that shale body and find the
oil, and when l do the Crescent
stockholders will be profit sharers."
Great God and little fishes, how Mr..
Williamson loves these dear stock
holders. But wait a minute. Last
November, when he capped the Cres-
cent, did he take his stockholders
into his confidence? No. he didn't.
He went to Tacoma and Seattle and
hobnobbed with PROFESSIONAL oil
men and promoters" and when one
of the stockholders wanted to know
what the game was, why he didn't
uncap the we'll and show what he
had, he is quoted as saying, "We'll
have to open it soon or someone else
may show oil and the Crescent must
come in first. This oil game is all
new to me, but I'm getting pointers
and learning fast" Williamson evil
IDENTIFY thinks he is still playing the
game" while all the time he is being
"played" by the professional pro-
moters, who appear to have a
stranglehold on this field and who
use every effort to discredit any man
whom they suspect of having
honest intention to prospect the field.
They call him tramp a "vaga-
bond" and an impostor who don't
know anything. But, in our humble
opinion, that's the man to tie to by

themselves hoarse about the LaFol

about every measure which is for the

out OF business, about the hardship
of the compulsory wireless telegraph
applied to steamships, and they are
always on the job yelpng at every
thing that is proposed for public ben

few big hirelings of the interests af-

is equally true that to maintain it we
ought to begin the use of fertilizers
now and not wait the coming of the
time when our yield, through de-
pleted soils, shall have fallen far be-
low what it is now. 1t is also true
that fertilizer manufactured in Wash
ington, or any other of the water
power states, could be shipped to
states not so fortunate in water power
possibilities, and assist the farmers
of those states in materially increas-
ing their average yield per acre.
Large Investment Needed.
"In the development of water
power, the investment of large sums
lof money is necessary. In order that
investors may be interested in taking
part in such development, they must
be assured that they will receive a
reasonable return on their invest
ments. Under the present federal
laws, such assurances cannot be given
them, and as result there has been
but little development compared with
the development that could take
place. Gradually the wide differences
of opinion on this subject are being
eliminated, and it is my hope that at
the next session of congress 1t will be
possible to enact into law a measure
that will not only make possible the
investment of capital in many of the
water power projects now waiting
only the hand of man to render them
useful, but a measure that will also
fully protect the rights of the public.
To-day, most of our states have
public service or public utilities COM
missions. To these commissions is
delegated the duty and the power of
fixing reasonable rates that may be
charged by public service corpora
lions. Any water power project de-
veloped within the borders of our
state or any other state should be
subject to such regulation. also
feel that the right ought to be re-
served by the people to take over
such plants, should they desire to do
so, after the expiration of reason
able time, at fair valuation. In
fixing this valuation, the value of the
water right ought not to be consid-
cred as an asset of the holding corpo-
&c
to forever remain the property OF the
public. It's use ought to be granted
only to those who are willing to de-
velop it, upon reasonable terms, and
if. at the expiration of the time fixed
bv law, it be the desire of the public
to take over the property, the invest
or ought to be paid upon fair valu-
alton basis. During the operation OF
the plant by private capital, reason
able return on the investment ought
to be allowed 1t would seem that it
ought to be possible to enact some
workable law under which this, the
most valuable of all our natural re-
sources, can be put to use.
Il fully appreciate that there are
those who. not being informed as to
what has been accomplished in the
Western states, have feeling,
brought about by unfair and in many
cases wholly untrue statements. that
the people of the West are at all
