A Real Flesh Builder
For Thin People
WHO WOULD INCREASE WEIGHT.

Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or Is
pounds Of healthy "stay-there" fat
should try eating little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note results
Here Is a good test worth trying. First
weigh yourself and measure yourself.
Then take Sargol-one tablet with ev-
cry meal-for two weeks. Then weigh
and measure again. 1t isn't a question
Of how you look or feel or what friends
say and think. The scales and tape
measure will tell their own story. Many
people, having followed these simple d.
rections report weight increases OF from
five to eight pounds with continued
DAins under further treatment.
6argol does not Of itself make fat but
mixing with your food it's purpose is to
sugars and starches of what you have
eaten, into rich. ripe. fat producing
nourishment for the tissues and blood
prepare 1t in an easily assimilated form
which the blood can readily accept. A
great deal Of this nourishment now
passes from thin peoples bodies as
waste. Sargol Is designed to stop the
waste and make the fat producing con-
tents OF the very same meals you are
eating now develop pounds and pounds
OF healthy flesh between your skin and
bone Sargol is noninjurious, pleasant,
efficient and inexpensive. Jas. O'Donnell

WHY SNOW HEATS THE HANDS
The Brain Calls to the Blood to Help
the Chilled skin.

1t is very wonderful that our hands
should become warm after playing
with snow. for it must be perfectly
certain that the cold snow takes heat
away very quickly from our warm
hands.
The warmth of our hands is derived
entirely from the blood, except at times
when something hot is actually shining
upon them. Therefore. for some rea-
so or other. very much larger amount
of blood than. usual must be flowing
through our hands The blood is no
warmer in itself. or the whole of the
body would ut once notice 1t, but what
really happens is that the hands are
getting richer and quicker supply of it.
The effect is just the same, really, as
the delightful glow that we feel after
a cold bath. The brain has the duty
of taking care of the skin, rs of every
other part Of the body. Now. when
the skin has been chilled its life has
been heavily taxed, and 1t will suffer
unless it is compensated. So the brain
orders the small blood vessels in the
skin. wherever II has been chilled. to
relax and widen so that the warm
blood is able to circulate quickly
through them.-'"The Child's Book of
Knowledge"

In like manner several letters are

colt, a White Lake man, was called
to New York state by the murder of
his aged sister, who was housekeeper
for a farmer. also of advanced years.
The farmer was shot and killed late
at night by an unknown man, whose
motive in entering the house is sup
posed to have been robbery. 1t is
thought that Miss Wolcott was awak-
ened by the shooting, and went to the
scene, and then fed to the home of
the nearest neighbor for assistance.
She evidently had ran but a short
distance from the house when the
murderer fireda bullet that struck
her near the heart. Though badly
wounded she was able to reach the
home of the neighbor, but was unable
to arouse the inmates. Her dead
body was found on the doorstep of
the neighbor's house the next morn
ing. Plainly the hand imprints of the
South Dakotan's sister were marked
in blood on the panels of the door,
where she had vainly beaten for as
sistance.

In the west, Paris reports "appre-

occupation of the villages of Gussain-
vile. near Verdun, and advances to
the southwark of that fortress. The
headuuarters Of a German colonel
has been taken in the Nosges, while

Unofficial reports reaching Lon

So the return of Mr.. and Mrs.

Yet only within the last few years
have state and national lawmakers
taken up the vital matter of protect
ing birds, and even now a majority
of the people are ignorant of the
value and services of these policemen
of the air who do more TO guard us
against dangers and want than all the
bluecoats in existence.
We like their songs and admire
their plumage. but let a robin feast
in a tree of ripe cherries or a crow
exercise his nifty bill in a new-sown
cornfield and suddenly we forget-if
ever we knew it-that for what the
birds take in these ways they give
back so much in other ways as to
make their fruit and grain stealings
Insignificant.
Most of us are not yet aware that
we have only one-tenth the number
of birds we should have. This is not
the estimate of enthusiasts whose in

government bureau officials who are
paid to work out ways in which our
national prosperity may be increased.
