Mrs Reynolds traced the fight OF
women for education In earlier days
and declared that 1t was step
toward the woman suffrage move
ment. Opponents of the vote for
women are using the same argu-
ments and calling the same names
that they used when women made
their fight for educ ton, she said.
That Miss Winser's influence has
already been felt in the Education
Board was declared by President
Johnson. Miss Winser has made
va liable suggest ons, he said, on sys-

ganizations.
In repy to the greetings from the
speakers Mss Winser declared that
1t Is important that women, and par
ticularly mothers. take an active In
terest in the administration of school
affairs. The appointment of a woman
to the Board of Education Is not so
important In itself, she said, as the
effect which 1t will have In interest
ing women in educational matters.
Miss Ruth Rusby gave several
vocal selections, and refreshments

TEN-CENT STORES IN
RECEIVERS HANDS
Chain Operated by A. w. Bailey
& Co. in involuntary
Bankruptcy.

A receiver today took possession Of
chain of and 10-cent stores oper-
ated by A. w. Bailey, of Leonia. un-
der the trade name of "A. w. Bailey &
Co. An involuntary petition in bank
ruptcy was filed against Bailey last
night. The petition was presented to
Judge Thomas B. Haight, of the
United States District Court, In his
home at Jersey City.
Bailey makes his business head
quarters at Englewood. Two other
stores at Fort Lee and Ridgefield Park
were conducted by him in this State.
Bailey has fifteen other stores in the
south. His concern is we'll known at
Winchester, Va; Gainesville. Ca, and
Anderson South Carolina.
The liabilities are estimated at $780,
CO., Bai.eS is reported as saying his
assets would bring only $40 600 at a
forced sale in bankruptcy. To banks
In this State and the south he is said
to be indebted for $22 900.
Upon the application OF George
Furst counsel for the petitioning
creditors. Louis G. Beekman. of Jer-
sey City, was appointed receiver.
Beekman's bond is $4,000. and he is
authorized to carry an the business
for five days. The court order does
not empower the receiver to pur-
chase more goods for the stores.
Anciliary receivers will be applied for
in the southern cities where the
Bailey stores are in operation.
The petitioning creditors against
Bailey are George Borgfeld. of New
York city, with a claim OF 81 500 tor
toys; ]. c. Kuhn, of New York. con-
fectioner. s225; Lewis Bros. of this
city. confectioners. $3.50. and the
Oswego Candy Works, Of New York,
$11s.
According to counsel for the cred
itors, 1t Is not known what caused
the failure. For many years Bailey
has been rated high among the mer-
chants with whom he had dealings,
and the bankruptcy proceedings are
surprise to many. Mr. Furst ex-
pressed the opinion that an audit of
the Bailey company books might Cis-
close more assets than are apparent.

the thought that his family would GO

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A PhysioIsn's Advice

"T'd certainly give most anything
to be able to fat up few pounds
and stay that way" declares every
excessively thin man or woman. Such
result Is not impossible. despite
past failures. Thin people are vic
tins of mal-nutrition, a condition
which prevents the fatty elements of
food from being taken up by the
blood as they are when the powers
of nutrition are normal. Instead of
getting into the blood, all the fat and
flesh producing elements stay In the
intestines until they pass from the
body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy normal, amount of
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating a
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol
IS a scientific combination of six Of
the best strengthening. fat-pro-
ducing elements known to the medi-
cal profession. Taken with meals, 1t
mixes with the food and turns the
sugars and starches into rich. ripe
nourlshment for the tissues and blood
and its rapid effect is remarkable
Reported gains of from ten to twenty
five pounds in single month are by
no means infrequent. Yet its action
is perfectly natural and absolutely
harmless Sargol is sold by all good
druggists everywhere and every
package contains a guarantee of
weight increase or money back.
Caution:-Whle Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in the treat
ment of nervous indigestion and gen.
eral stomach disorders, 1t should not,
owing to its remarkable flesh pro-
ducing effect, be used by those who
are not willing to increase their
weight ten ppunds or more.-Adver-
tisement.

Panama Folks to Get
 Their Own Beef Now

Panama, June 25.-The beef con- stunned in the Panama Canal zone is to be from cattle slaughtered here. instead of dressed beef from the United States. It has been ascertain- ed that a, saving of from 10 to 20 per cent can thus be made. The Canal Supply Department has already be- gun killing local cattle, in order to test the quality of meat obtainabIe, and it has further arranged to pur- chase cattle from other parts of Gen. traI America and even South tAmeri- ca, and bring them to the isthmus for final fattening and slaughter.
 A cattle buyer assigned to visit the neighboring countries, will have his purchases brought to the Canal and inspected by a veterinary surgeon, to prevent the introduction of diseased cattle. The latter official is already on his way to the isthmus.

How Alpine Chasseurs
 Won Their Nicknames

Paris, June 24-The Bulletin Des Afmees gives the following explana- tion of the origin of the name tFVi- triers'-(g1ass cutters rs)-familiarl given to the Alpine Chasseurs.
 It was during the revolution of 1848 when the shopkeepers of the rues du Cygne, du C1oitre Saint Jacques, Saint Denis and Saint Martin raised barri- cades in the streets that the Chasseurs were brought rom Versailles to charge them. They were received with fire from between the s1ats of window blinds as well as from the barricades. The officer in command summoned the inhabitants to open their blinds and windows.
 Every pane in the windows that were not promptly opened was in stantly smashed. Two days later, af- ter the success of the revolution; the chasseurs marched back to Versailles and the people of Paris amused themselves in. their usual way by jol1- ing them with such quips as there are the ttvftriers' passing by" The newspapers took up the word and it has stuck.
