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; rub
bling on useless flesh creams or
following some foolish physical cul-
ture stunt, while the real cause of
thinness goes untouched. You can
not get fat until your digestive tract
assimiIates the food you eat.
Thanks to remarkable new scien-
tif1c 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. fat-laden blood. This master
stroke Of modern chemistry is called
Sargol and has been termed the
greatest of file sh-builders. Sargol aims
its regenerative, reconstruc-
tive powers to coax the stomach and
intestines to literally soak up the fat
tening elements of your food and pass
them into the blood, where they are
carried to every starved, broken-down
tissue OF your body. You can readily
picture the result when this amazing
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 absolutely harmless,
efficient. Wilkinson &
Co., and other leading druggists OF
Keokuk and vicinity have it and will
refund your money If you are not sat
isfied, as per the guarantee found in
every package.
Caution:-while Sargo1 has given
excellent results in overcoming nerv-
Gus dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles, it should not be taken By
those who do not wish to gain ten
pounds or more,

o'clock after an illness of almost three
duration, borne with fortitude
and christian PATIENCE. Mr.. Egan's
death was the result OF acute heart
disease. From the very beginning Of
his illness; it was evident that his con-
dition was critical and from time to
time his life was despaired of. But
such was his strength of mind anil
body that those around his bedside
ana his legion Of friends gained hope
that his brave fight for life and furth.
or usefulness would conquer. Up
until the latter part Of last week, his
battle for life seemed to be winning
one, but on Saturday he had a turn
for the worse and his weakened condi-
ton was unable to withstand the
siege. Conscious to the last. he diel
with his wife and mother at his side.
Edward Eugene Egan was born
September 1, 1871, at Pella, Iowa. He
was educated in the common schools
Of thai town, at the high school OF

both at Pella and Indianola. His ed
ucation completed, he entered upon a

,...rurban Project From keokuk to
Jefferson city Being Pushed by
Il. W. Knight, Looks
Favorable.
70 BUY RIGHT OF WAY
Money is Said to be Forthcoming and
peeds to These Strips Which
win be Needed Are Pc
ing Prepared.

Aho,, one half the distance which
will be- covered by the proposed cleo
trio road from KeOkuk to Jefferson
ritv has been covered by the survey.
mrs The road is being promoted by
W. knight, and becomes more OF
reality every day. A number OF the
land owners in the northern part OF
Missouri have been approached by
Mr. knight with reference to selling
land for the right of way. The money
for the project is being furnished by
eastern capital.
The money for this land is forth
coming now, it is understood, and
deeds are being prepared for the land
which will be purchased.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat this
morning contains the following from
Fulton, Mo-, concerning the road:
H. W. knight, a railroad promoter
from Keokuk. Ia, and Thomas Peter.
son. civil engineer, were in Fulton
today comforting with bankers and
business men about new electric line
from Keokuk to Jefferson City through
Fulton. Mr.. knight says the COM
pany he represents not only proposes
/ 10 build the electric line, but also
plans to furnish light. power and heat
10 cities along the route. This power
Is to be supplied by the Keokuk
Power company from its immense
plant at Keokuk. The capital for the
new project is to be furnished by east
ern capitalists ,and will be forthcom-
ing, Mr.. Knight says. Just as soon as
the preliminari'ss are completed.
The new line is to depend largely
on its freight business and will be
the only north and south line through
Missouri touching some of the rich
est agricultural sections in the state.
It will connect with the Santa Fe, the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy, the
Rock Island. the Missouri. Kansas and
Texas. the Wabash and the Chicago
and Alton. The road will be about
$50 miles long and will pass through
the following cities Of the state: IA.

Paris. Mexico and Fulton. besidas sew.
eral smaller towns. The new road
would traverse a territory that is free
from hills and other drawbacks in the
way of building roadbed The Des
Noines river. near Keokuk. is the
only large stream that will be crossed
and the conditions on that stream are
ideal for building bridge.
Mr.. knight says his surveying crew
mas reached Bethel. in. the northern
part of the state, little fsss than
halt the distance OF the entire road.
II is said that great interest is being
manifested In the new Iroad in the
northern part of the state.

Today's oldest Story.

FORT COLLINS. Colo. June L.
Old King Solomon and his famous de-.
cision on the baby claimed by two
women as their child don't have any
thing on the local police.
A chicken thief had visited nearly
every roost in the city and his collec-
ton of fowls sorely puzzled the
authorities to determine the rightful
owners. Chickens look surprisingly
alike and several victims of the thief
claimed the same birds.
Some of the hens were taken to a
point about a hundred yards from
their supposed habitation. They were
released.
After sizing up the landscape every
hen made straight dash for her own
yard and fuzzed around the fence in
an effort to get inside This method
was followed in number of in
stances and proved satisfactory.

An oficial announcement from the

ference OF women workers for the

locally to know that as children she

Abortion Rtno.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
CHICAGO, June 1.-Chicago faced
new abortion mystery today. While
authorities were still investigating the
death of Anna Johnson and holding
four suspects in her case without
bond, woman died at the Lake Side
hospital from the effects Of a GRIM
inal operation. She was Mrs. Molly

governors OF the HILeeQ SOulueIu
states and to President woodrow Will
sonson and other notabies. Many
have accepted and the president holds
his reply in reservation. The wives
and families of the great leaders OF
the southern armies have also &C
copied invitations to attend the 1915
reunion.
A thrill is promised by the commit
tee in charge Of the reunion when the
Battle of the Crater" is reproduced
in fireworks the night Of June 2, at
Camp Stuart" Trenches will be
constructed, dummy figures used, and
at least two companies Of soldiers en-
ployed in staging the spectacle.
On the morning Of Thursday, June
8, the corner stone of the imposing
monument to Stonewall Jackson,
which is to be erected at Monument
avenue and the boulevard, will be
laid. Simple ceremonies are to mark
this event.
Unusual interest in the business
sessions OF the reunion Is attached
by reason of the fact that the con-
federates are to decide definitely at
this time to whom is to go the honor
as designer Of the Stars and Bars.
This has been a much controverted
point.
The reunion will come to an end on
Thursday with the grand bail in the
First regiment arnlory and the mill
tary ball in the armory of the Rich
mond Light Infantry Blues.
Among the speakers at the reunion
will be: Judge D. Gardiner Tyler,
son of President Tyler: John w.
Bale, of Rome, Ga; DIT. Henry W. Bat
tie, Of charlottesville, Va, Gen. B.
