An Easy Way tC

Good Advice for Thin Folks

The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on druggtng their stomachS or stufhng 1t with greasy foods; rubbing on use- less flesh creams or following some foolish physical culture stunt, while the You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you eat
 There is preparation known to re- liable druggists almost everywhere which seemingly embodies the missing clements needed by the digestive or- rich, fat-laden blood. This modern treatment is called Sargo1 and has been termed the greatest of flesh builders, Sargol aims through regeneration, re- construction powers to coax the stom- ach and intestines to literally soak up the fattening elements of your food and pass them Into the blood, where they are carried to the starved. broken down cells and tissues of your body. this amazing transformation should produce as with increased weight the cheeks fill out, hollows about neck, shoulders and bust disappear and from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh is added to the body.

Just how much effect it was ex- Dected that the peace telegram shower H0uld have upon congress cannot be 3Bld. but it has been disclosed by the order given to stop sending such mes- snges that the promoters have reached tho conclusion that more harm than sood IS likely to be done by its con- finuance. The teIegrams, it must be understood, were of the stereotyped variety, which were sent at the ex- pense of an organization which de- voted its efforts to getting as many signatures as possible and attaching them 70 telegraph messages impor- tuning representatives in congress to prevent a break between this govern menf and Germany.
 The plan was to create in the mind of the congressmen the idea that the peo- pie Of the country were so strongly de- manding peace that they desired them to disregard the self respect and honor of the nation. to overlook the viola ton of national rights and to accept any kind of treatment without calling those responsible for 1t % account. Tho movement was decidedly unpa- triotic and it must have been 50 rec 0snlzed by the legislators upon whom pressure was being brought to bear through such appeals The men at Washington have a duty to perform which cannot be gwayed by such methods. There are the interests of the country which must be carefully guarded and the suggestion was not a bad one which was made to the ef- fnct that am investigation be set on foot to determine who and what were behind the promoters of the scheme.

Bridgeport, Conn, May With a salute from factory and steamboat whistles and cheers from thousands of spectators, the L-5, first of eight sub marines to be built by the Lake Tor pedo Boat company for the United States government, was launched at the Lake shipyards this forenoon. Rosalind Robinson, little daughter of Commander Richard H. M. Robinson, the company's managing director, christened the vessel with a bottle of champagne.

Just as learned to stick on g. horse without having glue applied discovered your horse was in the discard and that you were violently whaging golf sticks.

UNTIpv STREETS

untidy streets are to be found in most every community and 1t is a commendaibIe effort which is made to set in motion clean up movement which win not only overcome such conditions temporarily but permanent ly I'm some places good results have been secured through enlisting the children in such work by instructing them to pick up papers and tin cans and deposit them in convenient re- ceptacles This of course gets the children in the habit of not throwing things into the street themselves, but H must be recognized, if there is a careful observation of conditions, that 1t is not the children who are to blame for the unfavorable appearance of the highways. While they may contribute to it to a certain extent, they are by no means the only ones who litter the streets with rubbish be expected that the practice is going to be overcome simply by organizing a clean up society among them.
 That the children can do a large amount of work in any campaign for tidy streets. and that the lessons which are to be gained from the par ticipation therein are bound to bear good fruit cannot be questioned, but there needs to be an effort made to get at the elders who toss newspa- pers, tobacco and match boxes, or in fact most anything for which they have no further use into the streets, and secure the individual aid of each and every one not solely in cleaning up the mess thus made but ln preventing 1t by using receptacles instead of the gutters, for the dump ing place of such articles.
 Thoughtlessness more than anything else is responsible for untidy streets and work as it will street cleaning department cannot handle the prob lem, and it ought not to be expected 10 as long as there is no effort on the part of the people themselves to cor rect the habit of throwing everything that isn't wanted into the streets There is a chance for the elders to do their best and thereby set worthy example to the children.

COAL MINERS AND OPERATIONS

That the dispute between the coal operators and miners. over the de- mands made by the latter. are likely to be arnicably adjusted is indicated by the latest information given out following a joint sub committee con- ference. Such tentative agreements as have been reached must be sub- mitted to others for ratification, and the miners convention must even pass upon them but there are good reasons for believing that they will give their approval and that 1t will be only a matter of a short time before an ad- justment of the difaculties and the threatened strike in the coal regions win be made.
 According to the understanding the miners will receive a substantial in crease in wages, through shorter hours and Increased pay and the right to organize for their own protection will be recognized, while the miners will abandon their demands for the closed shop and the check off. This Is an indication of progress such as has not been displayed before. It means that the sub committees have been getting down to the hard facts and that there has been a reasonable consideration OL tue FcAAOuc POAubo blAeSb nave bNCA raised. It means that if the ratifica- tion follows that the agreement will last for a period of four years and that in that time there will be a bene- fit to the miners of about nine million dollars all of which looks good to those who are watching from the out side and believe that the workers should get a fair wage. Following such an agreement, however, it re- mains to be seen what the effect is going to be upon the ultimate con- sumer. He usually is the dog in such instances and it is yet to be shown whether he is going to escape in this instance.

PORTUGAL HAS BIG
 COLONIAL POSSESSIONS
Out of All Proportions to Importance
 of Home Country.
Especial to The Bulletin.)


 Washington, D, C., May 1.-Por- tugal, the most recent nation to. be drawn into the mad maelstron of the European war, was once a part of the ancient Roman province of Lusitania, from which the giant Cunard line steamer sunk by a German torpedo re- ceived it's name" says a bulletin just issued by the National Geographic Society, of Washington.
 with a population scarcely ex- ceeding the combined population of New York City, Jersey City, and New ark, and an area in Europe less than the state of state of Indiana, Portu- gal has not played a major role in the politics of Continental Europe in many years, not, in fact since Welles- ley, afterward the Duke of Wellington, landed his English forces and, with the aid of native troops, defeated Soult and Massena, Napoleon's marshals, in the two peninsula campaigns.
 "But the colonial empire of Portu- gal is out of all proportion to the i'm portance of the home country. In the war, only three other countries in Europe Britain, France and Germany-whose flags fioated over more territory beyond the boundaries of the home country.

 "It would be difficult to estimate how much Portugal will be able to contribute to the strength of the AL l lies cause.

rHE REvoLr Ar puRLIN

The manner in which the Dublin rebels have been made to realize the weakness of their cause and to lay down their arms shows that not only was the revolt attempted at the worst time possible with the islands swarm ing with soldiers, but 1t must now be realized that there was a serious mis- judging of the sentiment of the Irish people. It has proved fizzle and done more harm than good to the Irish cause.
 The lesson has, however, been two sided, for while those engaged in the revolt have learned their mistake even though they had made elaborate plans in advance for 8 full cabinet, coined money and issued bulletins on the fighting, it must also be apparent to England that no good came of the failure to promptly suppress the prep arations when information was first obtained of the pIans.e
 Had the British government taken advantage of the warnings it had re- ceived when they were first given, il would have been possible to have nip ped the insurrection movement in the bud. Instead of doing that, however the organized effort was ignored, pos sibly with the hope that 1t would die for lack of support, but the harm 1T such reasoning has been fully dem. onstrated. The government and tht revolters have unquestionably profit ed by their experiences. It was mos unfortunate, however, that the trou ble should have been allowed to de velop to the point where bloodshet and the destruction of property wa necessary to check it. Ireland ha suffered in this instance because 0 the too great leniency of the Britisl government and because of that a, we'll as through the inconsiderate ac ton of a handful of it's people.
