FOUND NEW WAY TO
INCREASE WEIGHT
Thinks Many Thin People Get No
More Than Half Value From
Their Meals
Rundown Undcrweight Men and Women
Who Sought Missing Link Between
Food Eating and Flesh Making
Reported Gain From 10 to
70 Pounds

If the sugar you put in your morn
ings coffee had not dissolved it
would not have swcetened your coffee.
If fifty per cent. of the flesh, fat and
tissue building nourishment of your
meals Is never assimilated by your
blood but is continually leaving your
body as waste, it is no wonder you
stay thin. rundown, lack strength and
are from ten to twenty-five pounds
derweight.
Numerous tests seem to prove that
many thin people stay thin because OF
defective assimilation of their food
They eat enough but get little or no
good from ii and seemingly have missed
the link between food eating and flesh
making.
In an effort to correct this condition
there has been found a preparation
called Sargol which, taken at
meals helps to prepare the nourishins
so that the blood may more readily alb
sorb them. Sargors aim is to develop
the flesh h-building values in your food
to improve your assimilation and to
check the wastes of valuable nourish-
ment that may now be going on in your
system. Its action is both natural and
harmless and its results can be judged
from the gratifying reports of many of
it's users who tell of weight increases
ranging from ten to twenty-five pounds
that followed its use. G. A. GorGas
and many other leading druggists are
offering Sargoi 10 their customers,
guaranteeing to refund the full pur-
chase price where satisfactory weight
increase is not obtained from its use
for sixty days as directed-Advertise

Throw Away Your
Eyeglasses!
A Free Prescription
You Can Have Filled and Use mt Home

Do you wear glasses? Are you al
victim of eye-straan or other eye-weak !
nesses? If so, you will be glad to know
that there is real hope for you. Many
whose eyes were falling, say they have
had their eyes restored through the

it: II was almost blind; could not seel

thing without any glasses and my eyesl
do not water any more. At night theyl
would pain dreadfully; now they feel

"The atmosphere seemed haZy with orl

prescription for fifteen days everything
seems clear. l can even read fine printl
without glasses" It is believed that
thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them in reasonable timel
and multitudes more will be able tol
strengthen their eyes so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of everl
getting glasses. Eye troubles of manyI
descriptions may be wonderfully bene-

Here is the prescription: Go to IL. C.I
and get bottle Of Optona. Fill two|
ounce bottle with warm water, drop inl
one Optona tablet and allow to dis-I

ERZERUM CAPTURE
DUE TO BRILLIANT
BAYONET ATTACK
Russians Invaded Through
Heavy Snow With Tempera-
ture at 80 Below
SPLENDID FEAR OF ARMS
Turk Stronghold Considered
Impregnable; Now Chas-
ing Enemies

Petrogrsd. Feb. 1S.-The fall of
Erzerum, the most important Turkish
stronghold in Asia Minor for long
time considered impregnable, offers
the unprecedented spectacle of first
class fortress, built on steep noun
tain ridge nearly a mile above sea
level, yielding to bayonet attack after
only thirty-siX hours bombardment.
The operations were conducted un-
der the most severe weather con-
ditions, the snow being deep and the
thermometer registering at times more
than 80 degrees below zero. Fahren-
heit.
The Turkish army defending Erze-
rum, taken by surprise under the
methods adopted by the Russians, is
now said to be in disorderly fight on
the roads leading to Sivas. AS the
garrison apparently scattered in all
| directions, it is assumed here that
large numbers of men were taken pris-
oner, although official figures are still
lacking.

PUT STOMACH IN
FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results From
An Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says a noted authority. lie also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper
acidity, meaning, there is an excess of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach
which prevents complete digestion
and starts food fermentation. Thus
everything eaten sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours in n can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like toy balloon.
Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery
in the chest, we belch up gas, we
eructate sour food or have heartburn,
1iatulence, water-brash or nausea
He tells us TO lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast and drink
while 1t is effervescing and further
more, to continue this for a week.
While relief follows the first dose, II
is important 10 neutralize the acidity,
remove the gas-malling mass, start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote a free flow of pure di-
gestiVe juices.
Jads Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid OF grapes and
lemon juice, combined with litha and
sodium phosphate This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent re-

and Order League pointed him out to
me-" said Mr.. Dodge.
Who was this member"
''Mr. Guyer. John Guyer, secretary
of the Dauphin County Law and Or
der League, has been active In maxi
ing possible the big fight against rum.
! Some more interesting details of in
vestigations OF grllrooms, winerooms.
etc, are expected when Mr.. Guyer
takes the stand
Visited Nearly All Saloons
Dodge declared that he had visited
practically all of the saloons in the
city although his examin8tio this
morning was confined more particu-
larly to the st. Charles. He men
toned the Aldine, Katzman's Hotel
and other places against which re-
monstrances have been filed.
Notes Of his Investigations which
he said he jotted down as he left the
drinking places were objected to by
Potter's counsel but the court permit
ted the investigator to use his notes to
| his recollection.
From his notes, incidentally, Dodge
mentioned the names of a dozen or
more girls whom he said he saw al
most nightly in the st. Charles grill
room.
Among these was Rose Speelman.
the frantic mother who created an up
roar in court several weeks ago when
Judge MCCarrell gave the custody of
her child to n sister-in-l law because
of the womans unfitness to rear il.
A girl whose only name Dodge knew
was "Flossie," another who said she
was born in Europe but had come
here penniless to enter a house of
questionable character, and a lot of
others were among the girl frequen-
ters of the place. One of these,
Dodge said, was certainly not more
than twenty.
Evidence Causes Stir
Dodge created a real stir of ex-
pectancy when asked to describe the
actions of one of the prettier girls
of the srillroom who was smoking
ctSarets. He had intimated that she
had been soliciting men.
What did she do? What did she
say" asked Mr. Seitz
We'll, when | went in / heard her
ask some fellows whether they'd like
to feel her muscle"
Dodge's failure to go into more de-
tail about the behavior of another
girl was questioned by the court.
Earlier in his examination Dodge said
the woman was drunk. on cross ex-
animation she said she might have
been under the Influence of either
liquor or dope"
why didn't YOU tell us that be-
fore ~ demanded President Judge
Kunkel.
"Oh, I had no reason for not tell
ing It," replied Dodge. II Just neg
lected it, / guess
Then President Judge Kunkel
asked for Dodge's notes. At the en-
phatic request of Mr.. Seitz, Dodge
was directed by the court to show his
diary and his statement of amounts
he had expended for drinks. etc.
Prior to the opening of license
court, President Judge KunkeI per-
mitted the postponement to Tuesday,
Washington birthday, of the hearing
of the application OF Fred w. Ebel
for transfer of the National Hotel
license. The hotel is now in the Cap
itol Park extension zone and Ebel

Wide Sweeping Arrests
Made as Result of German
Plot to Massacre French

Paris, Feb. is. - The Paris Journ-
ais correspondent at Tananarivo says
that German agents financed and
otherwise encouraged a native plot to
overthrow the government of Made
gascar on December 81 last.
The seat of the conspiracy was at
Fianarantsca and it was planned to
poison the French officers and SOL
diers on New Years eve and either
gain the native troops to the cause
of the conspirators or obtain from
them their military weapons. The
white officials and colonists were then
to have been massacred. The plot
was revealed to the authorities and
already over two hundred persons
have been arrested and other arrests
are expected as the investigation is
still progressing.

Declining German Birth
Rate Attracts Attention

Berlin, Feb. II, via London, Feb. IS.
The declining birth rate in Ger
many which was attracting attention
before the war, is receiving more
serious consideration at the present
time, in view of the losses sustained
in the field. This subject was brought
up to-day in tn budget committee of
the Prussian Diet.
The speaker also referred to the
high rate of infant mortality. He
also said one of the gravest hindrances
to the growth of the population was
the increase in the number of prema-
ture births cHused deliberately, an
evil which was not confined to the
lpoorer classes.

The British evidently are reStive
under the continued occupation by
the Germans of the several hundred
yards of a first line trench south of
Ypres, Belgium, lost in recent fight
ing. Berlin to-day reports another
attempt by the British to retake the
position but declares the effort failed
with heavy losses.
South OF the river Somme, where
the French recently lost ground and
have been counter attacking, they es-
sayed a fresh attack, but according to
Berlin the offensive broke down un-
der the German fire.
Elsewhere along the F'ranco-Bel-
gian front the operations have been
of minor nature, such as outpost en-
gagements, and mining operations
with a German air raid on Popringhe,
Belgium.

Condemned Clark Law
"AIr. Munson said that the city is
suffering from a poor and inefficient
city government, the result of the
Clark law, which he unsparingly con-
demned. He spoke of the men in
charge as unfit for the positions and
made some bitter remarks about them.
What Williamsport wants, he said, is
representative government by men
serving without pay. In this connec-
ton he showered praise on Harrisburg
for the spirit of the men who have
made her what she is by paving, parks,
river improvement. and told how this
result was only reached by bond
! issue. borrowing money and going
ahead. He spoke for a public spirit
which boosts, but never knocks, save
when it is Just and necessary; which
walks the streets for the good of the
city. which holds office for the city
good and not for its own pocket, and
which is always willing to help"
