UNEARTHS FRAUD
Secretary Stevenson Reveals Political
Trick in Filing of Petitions
Saves Himself.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Charges of fraud,
forgery and conspiracy NAV be made
by Secretary of State Lewis G. Stew
enson against 20 or more democratic
politicians in Chicago as a result of
the filing of petitions by Sim J. Stew
enson. 5441 South Halstead street,
and Louis C.. Stevenson, 537 North
Clark street, as candidates in the dem
ocratic primaries against the present
incumbent. The petition of Sim J.
Stevenson was withdrawn last night
by the candidate who is said to have
made an affidavit to the secretary of
state that he was induced to allow the
use of his name through misunder
standing.
The petition of Louis c. Stevenson
was thrown out by the secretary OF
state because of its alleged irregular
ity so that the only Stevenson whose
name will appear on the official pri-
mary ballot as a candidate for secre-
tary of state is the present incum-
bent.
1T was just trick to confuse the
voters" said Secretary of State Lewis
G. Stevenson today.

An Easy Way To Get
Fat And Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams,' or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thin
ness goes untouched. You cannot get
fat until your digestive tract assim-
Hates the food you eat
There is preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere
which seemingly embodies the missing
elements needed by the digestive or
gans 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 regener-
alive, re-cOnstruCtive powers to coax
the stomach 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. You can readily picture what
result this amazing transformation
should produce as with increased
weight the cheeks fill out, hollows
about neck, shoulders and bust dis
appear and from 10 to 20 pounds of
solid, healthful flesh is added to the
body. Sargol is absolutely harmless,
efficient. Harper House
pharmacy, J. ]. Foley and other lead
ing druggists of this vicinity have il
and will refund your money if you are
not satisfied, as per the guarantee
found in every package.
NOTE:-Sargol is recommended on
ly as a flesh builder and while ex-
cellent results in cases of nervous in
etc. have been reported care
should be taken about using it unless
a gain of weight is desired.
