AN EASY WAY TO GET

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they

stuffing 1t with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or follow

stunt, while the real cause OF thin
ness goes untouched. You cannot
get fat until your digestive tract as
Stimulates the food you eat.
There Is a preparation known 70
reliable druggists almost everywhere
which seemingly embodies the mis-
sing elements needed by the digestive
organs to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood. This modern
treatment Is called Sargol and has
been termed the greatest of flesh
builders. Sargol aims through re-
generatiye, re-constructive powers to
coax the stomach and intestines to
literally soak up the fattening ele-
ments Of your food and pass them
into the blood where they are carried
to the starved, broken-down cells and
tissues of your body. You can read
lily picture what result 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. Sargol is abso-
lutely harmless, inexpensive, efficient,

Correspondent There.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-As a
counter attack on preparedness, one
Of the bills introduced in Congress
this week, provides for an old age
pension bill for men and women
which is expected to receive the sup
part Of the so-called labor group Of fif-
teen in the House. Most OF this
group. which works in conjunction
with the American Federation OF La
Dor, believe a pension bill for In
capacitated laborers is more vital
than increased expenditures for the
army and navy.
The bill, which was introduced by
Congressman Sherwood, the veteran
representative from Ohio, would
grant weekly pension Of 81 to all
American citizens having an income
Of less than 5000 per annum and who
are sixty-fve or more and incapable
Of manual labor not due to their own
improper conduct. Each beneficiary
would have to show continuous la
Dor record of thirty years unless In
capacitated through no fault OF his
own, and must have been a citizen OF
the United States for at least fifteen
years. When husband and wife
would both be entitled to pensions
and were living together the rate
would be one-fourth.
Two resolutions were introduced
in Congress this week demanded an
inquiry into the prevailing high
prices Of gasoline. The two resolu-
lions would put two separate agencies
OF the government at work on the
gasoline problem.
The first asks the department of
justice to look into the gasoline stu
