An Easy Way TO
Increase Weight
Good Advice for Thin Folks


The trouble with most thin
foiks who wish to gain weight is
that they insist on drugging their
stomach or stuffing il with
greasy foods; rubbing on useless
flesh creams" or following some
foolish physical culture stunt.
while the real cause of thinness
goes untouched. You cannot get
Tat until your digestive tract as
Stimulates the food you eat.
There is a preparation known
to reliable druggists almost every
where which seemingly embodies
the missing elements needed by
the digestive organs 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. Sar-
gol aims through regenerative, re-
constructive powers to coax the
stomach and intestines to literally
coax up the fattening elements of
your food and pass them into the

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
disappear and from 10 to 20
pounds of solid. healthy flesh is
added TO the body. Sargol is alb
solutely harmless, inexpensive, eff

while excellent results in cases
of nervous indigestion, etc, have
been reported care should be taxi
en- about using it unless a gain of
weight is desired.

What is the greatest legacy
that Shakespeare has given to
time? THE ENGLISH Lam
GUAGE.
The English language, you say,
is somewhat older than Shakes
peare? True, many of it's words
are older, but its beauty, its clar-
ity, its dignity, it's rhythm, and
its dramatic content are what
Shakespeare has given to us and
to all who come after.
No one who reads Shakespeare
often aloud can do otherwise than
speak generously and with dignity
and conference.
Just for the sake of the
language IL for no other, i
would have the plays of
Shakespeare a part of the
daily curriculum of the public
schools, and 1 would have the
children read them as soon as

BY T.. II, SOTHERN.

It is queer coincidence that
with apparently all the women's
clubs in America and all the
literati celebrating the three
hundredth anniversary Of Shake
speare's birth with great os-
tentation and pomp, the English
stage has become almost barren
of his plays.
The only way Shakespeare
may be studied is through the
actor. His plays are not for the
scholar or the closet; they are
man, woman and child.
Every actor wants to play
Shakespeare; it means to him
that he has reached the highest
in his art; but does the actor of
today want to play Shakespear-
can characters enough to fail in
them?
He will fail at first. You cam
not play Shakespeare as you
would our modern dramatists,
who think in the same vein
you do.
i can see no IutuTc IOG
the great plays of Shakes
peare I'm America except i'm a
municipal or specially en-
lowed theater, where actors
can be trained to play his
comedies and tragedies.
Shakespeare should be ACTED,
not read, IN THE SCHOOLS.
Children will love to act Shakes
peare. The most enthusiastic adj
diences Miss Marlowe and l have
had were those who could pay
little and those who were young.
Nowadays the only plays that
will draw q full gallery are the
plays of Shakespeare. This is
why there should be- an endowed
theater. where great plays could

The action OF the directors of the Nor
FOLK and Western Railroad Company re.
gard!ng dividends exceeded even the
highest hopes Of the financial district,
IL was generally expected that an in
crease would be given which would carry
the stock from a s per cent. dividend
basis TO a 7 per cent. basis, and II had
been forecasted that an extra dividend
OF from quarter OF ! per cent. TO
one-half OF I per cen might be de-
c'ared. but even the most ampant bulls
did not expect an extra disbursement OF
! per cent. Norfolk and Western at its
present rate OF earnings could well at
ford to make this extra dividend Of I
per cent. quarterly a regular occurrence
In view Of the fact that the company Is
earning In excess OF 10 per cent. on It's
stock.
The directors action exercised a
favorable influence. generally speaking.
on the stocks Of all other Eastern rail
roads. which caused them TO advance
from the low prices for the day. at
which they were then selling. though
few prohted enoug to rise beyond Tues
days closing prices. Norfolk and West
