THIN FOLKS WIG
WANT TO GET FAT
Increase IN weight 10 Pounds Or More

s -
I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds and
stay that way" declares every Excess
siyelv thin man or woman. Such a
result Is not impossible, despite past
failures. Most thin people are VIC
tins Of maEnutrition, a scondiuon'
which prevents the fatty clements Of
food from being taken up by the blood
as they are, when the powers Of nu-
triton are normal. Instead OF getting
into the blood, much of the fat and
flesh producing elements stay in the
intestines until they pass from the
body as waste.
To correct this condition and TO prp-
duce a healthy, normal amount OF rat,
the nutritive processes must be artf
ficially supplied With the power which
nature has denied them. This can
probably best be accomplished by cap
ing a Sargol tablet with every meat
Sargol is careful combination OF SIX
splendid assimilative agents. Taken
with meals they mix with the food to
turn the sugars and starches OF What
you have eaten into rich, ripe nouIs
ishment for the tissues and Diood
and its rapid effect has been in many
cases reported remarkable. Reporter

CONFERENCE IS ENTHUSIASTIC ON
 "PAY UP" WEEK
Half Hundred Business Men Already Lined Up for Big
 Settlement" Campaign.

More than score of local retail merchants were present in person, and almose as many more sent direct word that they are Gin On the move ment," at the conference last night at the assembly hall of the chamber of commerce. where was discussed in enthusiastic style the matter of par 'icipating in national pay up week, y October to [.
 Adolph Bluthenthal acted as chair man, and Secretary F. B. Bloom of the chamber of commerce was the secretary of the meeting. Every line of business was represented. and the discussion went into many matters of detail. the plan of the campaign being explained most thoroughly by MT. Bloom, who displayed also sam pies of the printed matter used so successfully elsewhere in conducting "pay up week" campaigns in the past
 As a result of the meeting and the discussion, it was agreed that active canvass of the merchants of the city will be started Tuesday, and that ev- cry merchant will be visited and urg- ed to join in he movement. Commit tees representing each line of busi- ness will be named to see the mer- chants in those particular lines, and these committees will be armed with figures and statistics which will show plainly what the campaign will cost each merchant. and what results he can expect, if there is the proper CO., operation in the campaign.
 "You pay me and I'll pay you,'' will be the slogan of the campaign, and it will be preached into the ears and made prominent under the eyes of every man, woman and child in this city and section, on billboards, in the show widows, in the columns of the newspapers, by means of stickers on all letters, circulars and packages, and in every other conceivable man. ner of advertising. It is estimated that fully 100 local merchants will join in the movement, this number making it possible for the campaign to be waged thoroughly and most successfully, at a minimum of cost to each of the merchants. One of the business men present last night made the estimate that the cost of the cam paign will actually be one per cent or less on the amount of old debts collected as a result of the cam paign.
 Not only will every man, woman and child be informed directly and in directly that "pay up week. is a time for general settlement of debts, as a matter of personal pride, civic pat riotism and business judgment, but there will be prizes offered as an in centive, the details as to the manner of awarding the prizes not yet having been settled. As soon as the can vass of the city has been concluded, probably by the middle of next week, there will be another conference held, at which final arrangements will be made for the campaign.
