TO Put On Flesh
And Increase Weight

Most people eat from -four to six
pounds of good solid fat-maktng food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce, while on h other
hand many of the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all
the time. It's all bosh to say hat this
is the nature of the individual. 1t
isn't Natures way at all.
Most thin people stay thin because
their powers of assimilation are defec-
tive. They absorb just enough of the
food they eat to maintain life and a
sem blanc of health and strength.
Stuffing won't help them. A dozen
meals a day won't make them gain a
single "st~ay-there" pound. All the fat
producing elements of their food just
stay there in the intestines until they
pass from the body as waste. What
such people need is something that
will prepare these fatty food elements
SO that their blood can absorb them
and deposit them all about the body
something too, that will multiply
their rec blood c~orpuscIes and increase
their blood's carrying power.
For such a condition it is we'll to
recommend eating a Sargol tablet with
every meal. Sargol is not, as some be-
heve a patented drug, but is simply a
careful combination of six of the most
effective and powerful assimilative and
flesh building elements known to
chemistry, 1t is absolutely harmless,
yet has been wonderfully effective and
a single tablet eaten with each meal
often. according to reports of users,
has the effect of increasing the weight
of a thin man or woman from three
to five pounds a week. Sargol is sold
by @. A. Gorgas, and other good drug
FISTS everywhere on a positive guar
antee of weight increase or money

If FavOrite Foods
Upset Stomach
Take Magnesia.

If tomatoes. cucumbers, strawber-
rtes or other foods in season do not
agree with you and make your stomach
sour or burn, producing acid indiges-
ton, don't think you must give up eat
ing these good things n do nor,
either, make the mistake of swallowing
pepsin or soda pills after every meal.
Instead just make a practice of taking
a t~easpoonful of pure bisurated mag
after eating. The hot water will force
a needed blood supply to your stomach
and the bisurated magnesia will in
stantly neutralize any excess of stom-
ach acid and your digestion will be ma
tural and painless. Bisurated mag
nesia is not a laxative and it's continued
use, Is entirely harmless as it never
weakens natural digestion. 1t can be
obtained at all we'll stocked drugstores.
Be sure to get Bisurated MaEnesia. Do
not use other forms of magnesia for

WATCHES STOLEN FROM
 NEW LONDON HOUSE
Sneak Thief Gained Entrance Through
 Window and Made Getaway.

Early Monday evening while MT. and Mrs. J. Taylor Douglas were at a moving picture show their home at 36 Bellevue place, New London, was visited by a sneak thief. who took two gold watches, both the property of Mrs. Douglas.
 MT. and Mrs. Douglas left the thea tre for home about g o'clock. They found nothing to indicate that the house had been broken into and it was not until some time after their arrival home that they discovered the loss of the watches.
 Tuesday morning the police vert notified and Officer James c. Sullivan was assigned to the case. A win dow had been opened and it is sup posed that the thief entered through that window, although there were no marks on the window or on the wall of the room beneath the window. There was burnt matches on the floor where the thief had used them in his search.
 Both watches were taken from Mrs. Douglas room. One was monogramed with her initials, L. s. D., and was the gift of her husband; the other was present from her mother, the late Mrs. Clayton B. Smith. It was because of these associations that Mrs Douglas valued the watches and feels the loss more ketnly than as though they had intrinsic value only

ANNUAL MEETING OF
 BOROUGH OF eRoToN
Six Minute Session Presided Over by
 Warden C. Tyler LandPhere.

The annual meeting of the borough of Groton was held Monday evening and was the shortest as wei: ss the most amicable on record.
 It occupied the whole of six min-
 utes. Warden c. Tyler h.andphere called the meeting to order at 1.3O and Clerk Leon Brogan read the call which asked only for the acceptance of the borough report. There were no resolutions and no call for money to be expended.
 Jerry Sullivan Immediately moved ! that the report be accepted and 1t l was seconded. On calling for re- marks James Brown, former engineer at the water and light plant offered an objection on the ground that the report was illegal and a libel. Ii I looked as if something was started | but 1t was merely a flash in the pan He offered a paper which he asked | that the clerk read. He was told by Mir. Landphere to read it himself and ! did so. It consisted of a round | robin" stating in the main that Mir | Brown had not attempted to call a | strike of the workmen at Hle plant when so many of them left following his discharge last winter. l Not a word greeted the reading oi | the paper and the vote for the ac- | ceptance of the report went through | without a voice.

 ough and was given the figures. Witt | varying amounts for the years 1913 | 1914, 1915 the amount totals $S9,'
