Thin Men and Women
Here's Safe and Easy Way by Which
You May Gain 10 Pounds or More
Of Solid. Healthy. Perma-
upnt Flesh

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men
and women everywhere are heard to
say, Il can't understand why | do not
get fat. l eat plenty of good nourish-
ing food" The reason is just this:
You cannot get fat, no matter how
much you eat, unless your digestive
organs assimilate the fat-making ele-
ments Of your food instead of passing
them out through the body as waste.
What is needed is a means of gent
ly urging the assimilative functions of
the stomach and intestines to absorb
the oils and fats and hand them over
to the blood, where they may reach
the starved, shrunken. rundown It's
sues and build them up The thin per
sens body is like dry sponge eager
and hungry for the fatty materials of
which 1t is being deprived by the fail
ure of the alimentary canal to take
them from the food. A splendid way
of working to overcome this sinful
waste of flesh building elements and
to stop the leakage of fats is to try
Sargol, the famous flesh building agent
that has been so widely sold in Amer
lea IN recent years. Take little Sar-
gol tablet with every meal and see if
your cheeks don't quickly fill out and
rolls of firm, healthy flesh form over
your body, covering every bonv angle
and projecting point Harper House
pharmacy and other good druggists
have Sargol or can get it from their
wholesaler, and will refund your mon
ey II you are not satisfied with the
gain IN weight it produces as stated
on the guarantee in each large pack
age. 1t is inexpensive, easy to take
and highly efficient.
Note.-Sargol is recommended only
as flesh builder, and while excellent
results IN cases of nervous indigestion,
etc, have been reported, care should
be taken about using it unless a gain
OF weight is desired -(Adv.)

COLLEGE JUNIORS
ARE FEAST HOSTS
Members Of Graduating Class OF Au-
gustana Are Entertained ut
Davenport Outing Club.
LAWN GAMES ARE INDUCED
Ma,pole Dance Is Staged With Miss
Swanhild Bl0Omgren as Queen
Refreshments Served.

Last evening was the time. The
Davenport Outing club was the place.
Juniors and seniors from Augustana
college took advantage of the above
opportunities and the result was one
of the most enjoyable social functions
in the calendar for this year at Angus
tana. The party was reception given
by the junior organization in honor OF
the departing friends of the graduating
class. The evening could not have
been better for their purpose taking
of this opportunity the young people
INDUCED in diversion on the green
sward. The ancient Maypole dance
was the center of the festivities, at the
termination of which Miss Swanhlld
Bloomgren, one of the most popular
young ladies of the graduating class,
was chosen as queen of the May court
The junior president, Vincent Nord-
gren, placed the crown of roses upon
the queens head amid the applause of
! the entire party. Other games were
/ in order on the lawn, after which the
party adjourned to the dining hall,
| where a pleasing musical program
given by local Augustana talent, was
enjoyed.
Parting Addresses.
The refreshments were delicious.
| Harold Lundgren as POSTMASTER of the
evening, then welcomed the seniors
stating that it was undoubtedly the
last time when, with full membership,
the two classes would meet together
He recalled the days of their first two
years at school, with it's many class
scraps and COMETS, and declared that
this had all been forgotten except as
pleasant memories. Wishing the grad
yates the very best through life, in be
half of the class he said, Good luck
and goodbye" George Engdahl and
Clarence Granlund responded for the
seniors. 1t is thought that the juniors
have established a precedent which
other junior classes will follow in
years to come.

OF farm EXPERT
Record of G. r. Bliss, Scott County
Agriculturist, Brings Situation
Clearly to Mind.
SUCH WORK Is DEMANDED HERE
Country People Get Real Results
Through Work of Iowa Expert
Services Constantly Called On.

Some idea of the scope of the work
and interest in the activities of a
county farm expert, which the Rock
Island County Agricultural league is
trying to secure for this county, may
be gained from the records of G. r.
agriculture agent, and Scott county
tlowa) agriculturist, who in the last
three years has addressed 6S,l99 peo-
pie at SAG meetings in the county. So
great has been the demand for his
services that he has been required to
deliver AZ addresses outside of the
county.
Work of securing subscriptions to
the Rock Island county movement is
progressing rapidly and the members
and executive board hope to be able
