AVAILABLE SUGGESTION


1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount Of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor ltfe, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed. as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more rich,
heavy food. thereby forcing the kidneys
to do more work than Nature intended.
Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame
back, annoying bladder troubles. smart
ing or burning, brick-dust or sediment,
sallow complexion. rheumatism. may be
weak or irregular heart action, warns
you that your kidneys require help i'm

Many physicians claim that an herbal
medicine containing no minerals or
opiates has the most healing influence

A Message to Thin,
Weak, Scrawney Folks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 80 lbs Of
Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say.
II can't understand why l 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 a means Of gent
ly urging the assimilatiye functions
Of the stomach and intestipes to alb
sorb the oils and fats and hand them
over to the blood, where they may
reach the starved, shrunken, rundown
tissues and build them up. The thin
persons body is like a dry sponge
eager and hungry for the fatty ma
terials of which It is being deprived
Nv the failure Of the ailmentary canal
to take them from the food. The best
way to overcome this sinful waste of
flesh building elements and to stop
the leakage Of fats Is to use Sargol,
the recently discovered regenerative
force that is recommended SO highly
by physicians here and abroad. Take
a little Sargol tablet with every meal
and notice how quickly your cheeks
fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh
are deposited over your body, covering
each bcny angle and projecting point.
Bowditch, Webster Co., and other
good druggists have Sargol, or can
get it from their wholesaler, and will
refund your money if you are not
satisfied with the gain in weight it
produces as stated on the guarantee
in each package. 1t is inexpensive, easy
to take and highly efficient.
Caution:-While Sargol has produce
ed remarkable results in overcoming
nervous dyspepsia and general stom-
ach troubles. it should not be taken
unless you are willing to gain 10
pounds or more. for 1t is wonderful

HOW SOLDIERS LIVE AND FIGHT
IN THE TRENCHES

London, Jan. 2a-When it rains the
trenches are half filled with water. The
cold is always Of the damp. penetrating,
dreadful kind that chills to the very
marrow. Hot food Ii served three times
a day to the men In the trenches by
other soldiers, who scurry like rabbits
through long uncovered tunnels running
back from the works concealing the
guns.
These men in the trenches must have
good food in order that they can have
good blood. and if they have good blood.
they have good courage, they keep farm
because their circulation is good and
their extremities are warm from exer-
else. Many men are invaded, however,
because their blood and their stomach
were not right to Withstand the awful
hardships of this winter campaign.
When you do not properly digest your
food your blood becomes thin and every
organ Of the body soon feels the effect
The result is-headaches, sleeplessness
nervousness and many other symptoms
due to accumulation Of poisons in the
body. Unless the stomach Is given aid

ands of their African brothers in arms

DiXmude, forms the only possible gates
to Pas de Calais. because of the food
ed country between these two points
which makes infantry advance impos-
sible for either side.
On the way to Fumes at Wulpen the
party watched the unloading Of the
huge canal boats which bring up the
supplies for the forces in the trenches.
From the banks of the canals it is
loaded into wagons which deliver the
food by night to the soldiers in the
trenches. France and England acting
jointly are feeding the Belgian army
and as the canals make a network in
this part Of the country this work is
done without interfering with the
usual military transport along the
roads.
The only part of the Franco-Belgian
line between Newport and Dixmude
unvisited was the wing situated in
Dixmude. 1t would be certain death
for anyone to attempt to enter the
trenches except at night and the staff
officers in the party expressed great
amusement when they were told that
certain papers had published accounts
of visits by daylight to this line. Dix

the advantage of having ruined houses

American college youth who carried
the orders from headquarters to the
DiXmude trenches and he described
graphically the Indian-like tactics ne
had to adopt even to gain the trenches
on the darkest nights. Once there, he
said he felt safer than the villagers
in the rear who were exposed to the
German artillery fire.
Just to remind the party that they
were not out of danger, the Germans
dropped five shells one of which ex-
ploded over the railroad station in
Furnes just as the automobile regain

from a heavy howitzer mounted on a
