AMERICANS ISOLATED
At PERSIAN MISSIONS
Woman Worker Says She

War Since Beginning Of Year

NEW YORK. July 16--The Presby-
teran Board of Foreign Missions has
made public a letter received from Mrs.
j. p. Cochran. a mission worker at
ur1umiah, Persia, written on May 90 a
day after the Turks and kurds left the

perior Russian forces.
The letter is addressed to Friends in

Then we all began to get the typhoid
fever We had some Turkish soldiers
in the hospital with it, and the people
were ignorant and careless and we had

Turkish rule and Kurdish plundcr-
ing here reduced the inhabitants to the
verge of starvation. and as yet the end
Is not in sight.
Yesterday the Turks and Kurds
arose and departed, and it Is supposed
the Russians are about to return.
I've haven't had word of war news
during 1915 SO far, and feel as II we
were in the bottom. OF well, as far as
seeing what Ia going on about us Is
concerned No mail has penetrated the
veil that hides the world from us. but
we have had a telegraph message from
the American ambassador in Constanti-
nople nTuiring for our safety, and have
sent dispatches saying we had not been
disturbed personally. which is one OF
the miracles of missions. by the way.
There Is no power of description that
can overdraw the picture that Is and

misery anS distress. Instead we have
to veil it, for details are too horrible.

post.
Rumors are flying freely in connec-

the recently formed Schofield Athletic
Club One of them is that McCarn

personally If the boxing continued.
This is denied on reliable authority,

Miss Effie Louise Craig, Il

scribes Care of Wounded

Life in the trenches in France Is

AN EASY WAY TO GET
FAT AND BE STRONG

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless "flesh creams" or following
some foolish physical culture stunt.
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get Fat until
your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat.
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
tific discovery, it is now possible to
combine into simple form the very
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fatladen blood. This master
stroke of modern chemistry is called
Sargol and has been termed the great
est of flesh-builders. Sargol aims
through its re-generatiye, reconstruct
i've powers to coax the stomach and
!ntestines to literally soak up the
fattening elements of your food and
pass them into the blood, where they
are carried to every starved, broken.
down cell and tissue Of your body.
You can readily picture the result
when this amazing transformation has
taken place and you notice how your
cheeks fill out, hollows about your
neck, shoulders and bust disappear
and you take on from 10 to 20 pounds
of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is alb
solutely harmless, inexpensive and eff
ficient.
caution:-While Sargol has given
excellent results in overcoming ner-
vous dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles it should not be taken by
those who do not wish to gain ten
pounds or more.
