Real Flesh Builder
For Thin People

Thin men and women--that big,
hearty filling dinner you ate last night.
What became of all the fat-producing
nourishment it contained? You haven't
gained in weight one ounce. That food
passed from your body like unburned
coal through an open crate. The ma
terial was there, but your food doesn't
work and stick, and the plain truth is
you hardly get enough nourishment
from your meals to pay for the cost of
cooking. This is true of thin folks the
world over. Your nutritive organs,
your functions of assimilation are
probably sadly out of gear and need
reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Cut out everything but
the meals you are eating and eat with
every one Of those single Sargol tab
let In two weeks note the difference.
Let the scales be the judge. Five to
eight good solid pounds of healthy,

Sargol aims to charge weak, stagnant
blood with millions Of fresh new red
corpuscles-to give the blood the car
rying power to deliver every ounce of
fat making material in your food to
every part of your body. Sargol, too,
mixes with your food. to prepare it for
the blood in an easily assimilated
form. Thin people tell how they have
gained all the way from 10 to 25 pounds
a month while taking Sargol and say
that the new flesh stays put. Sargol
tablets are a careful combination of
six OF the best assinilative elements
known to chemistry. They come 40 tab

less and inexpensive, and Mcbride &
Will Drug Company, Marshailtown,

this vicinity sell them subject to an alb
solute guarantee of weight increase or
money back as found in every large

NO AGREEMENT REACHED ON
QUESTION OF HOW TO GET
COUNTY EXPRESSION.
LYNCH AND NICHOLS DO
NOT FAVOR CONVENTION
Both Prefer That Election Be Held
For Expression on Good Roads Build
ing, But No Law Provides For It
Lynch Finally Agrees to Abide by
Convention If It Is Representative.

The committee appointed at the good
roads meeting last Saturday afternoon
was in conference with the board of
supervisors during the noon hour to-
bind itself to be guided by a repre-
sentative convention of the county on
the question of building good roads.
The only definite conclusion that came
out of the meeting was that the COM
mittee will meet the supervisors again
Thursday noon.
The committee that called on the
board was G. E. Arney, J. G. Koontz.
Frank Swearingen, Henry Goecke, G..
A. Turner. ]. B. Classen, D. W. Nor
Tis. a. A. Moore, and Warren Nichols.
Against Convention Method.
Chairman w. H. Jones, OF the board,
is ready to Aahead on a program of
building hard surfaced roads with the
present county road bridge tax money
and bond the tax revenues to pay for
building the roads now. Supervisors
Lynch and Nichols were not entirely
in favor of the convention plan.
Lynch, who expressed himself the
more often of the two, was of the
opinion that it would not be repre-
sentative. and not be a fair expression
OF the opinion of the county at large.
Both of these supervisors favored an
election where every voter could vote
his opinion The law makes no provision
for holding such an election or paying
for il and neither of the supervisors
said he was willing for the county TO
pay the cost of the election.
Hold Free Election.
Lynch was of the opinion that town
ship conventions to elect delegates to
q county gathering of farmers. upon
whose decision the board could stand.
might be packed or not fairly repre-
sentative.
He thought a free election. without
cost to the county, could be held. He
said he believed it was easily possible
to hold such an election with volunteer
election boards serving without pay.
Supervisor Lynch finally consented
to any plan that was offered that
would furnish a representative delega-
ton Of say ten men from each pre-
cinct. Lynch said he would agree to be
bound by the action of a convention OF
such delegates who were representa-
tive of their precincts
The arguments In favor OF the plan
to build the roads and bridges out of
the present levies for those purposes.
and pay for them by bond issue thru
a period of years without increasing
the tax levy for roads and bridges.
were gone over by George A. Turner.

BETTER Than CAL0MEL
Thousands Have DiscoveredDr.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calomel-are mild but sure Taxa.
tive, and their effect on the liver is almost
instantaneous. They are the result Of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat liver
and bowel complaints with calomel. HIS
efforts to Danish 1t brought out these little
olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects They don't injure the teeth like
strong LIQUIDS or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct 1t. Why
cure the liver at the expense OF the teeth
CalomeI sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. {
1t is best not to take calornel, but to let
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling como from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DIR. Edwards Olive

Breast Tea, or as the German folks cal:
it. Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon it,
pour through a sieve and drink tea
cup full at any time. 1t is the most e.
fective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores, relieving
congestion. Also loosens the bowels
thus breaking a cold at once.
1t is inexpensive and entirely veget-
