Maine Farmers Take Notice.

Hon. Norman ]. Gould, congressman
from New York state, has a bitter
complaint to make in reference to the
,methods being adopted by Great Brit
lain to handicap American exporta-
ton. Mr.. Gould says that the British
luxury list includes apples. and this
has knocked the apple raising indus
try in his district silly A large fruit
storage company has gone into bank
ruptcy, and others are in the dumps.
The extortionate freight rates which
Great Britain has placed on our wheat
eompels the farmers in his district to
sell their wheat at relatively low
prices In Liverpool, in order to COM
pete with the Argentine wheat; and
the effect Of the British blacklist has
also been felt in his district but ap-
phals to the State Department are in
vain.
In this struggle for her very exist
ence Great Britain has been absolute
ly dependent upon the United States
for her foodstuffs and war munitions
If an embargo had been declared on
our foodstuffs in 1914 England would
be conquered nation today, and she
has had to depend on US for war mum

shores during the fiscal year 1916, ST.
51S,0o0,0o0 went to the United King
dom, or nearly one billion dollars more
than our normal annual exports to
that country.
But to the British mind, there are
no friends in business, and dependent
as England is on us for supplies, she
will adopt any :seans not injurious to
her own welfare to handicap our COM
merce. England still accepts Lord
Sheffields declaration: The only use
Of the American colonies is the mon
opoly Of their consumption and the
carriage Of their produce. The meth
DDS used by England now are but
samples Of what she will use after the

An Easy Way TO
Increase Weight
Good Advice for Thin Folks

Good Advice for Thin Folks
The trouble with most thin
folks who wish to gain weight IL
that they insist on drugging their
stomach or stuffing 1t with
greasy foods; rubbing on use
less "flesh creams" or following
some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of
thinness goes untouched. You
cannot get fat until your diges-
tive tract sssimilates 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-
sol aims through regenerative,
re-constructive powers to coax the
stomach and intestines to liter
ally soak up the fattening ele-
ments 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 trans
formation should produce as with
increased weight the cheeks fill
out, hollows abo.. neck, shoulders
and bust disapLe car and from 10
to 20 pounds of solid, healthy
flesh is added to the body. Sargol
is absolutely harmless, inexpen-
sive, efficient. The Crown Drug
Company. SA32 Pacific ave-, and
other leading druggists of this
vicinity have IT and will refund
your money IL you are not salts
fled, as per the guarantee found
In every package.
NOTE: -Sargol is recommend
ed only as a flesh builder and
while excellent results in cases of
nervous indigestion, ETC., have
been reported care should be
taken about using it unless gain
of weight is desired.

MILK KEEPS UP
HIGH STANDARD

Tacoma's milk supply continues
to maintain its remarkav8 high
standard of purity.
A test of samples taken from
dairy wagons last week was COM
pleted today by Prof. Frank Boz
thel OF the U. s. department Of
agriculturee and Prof. Marcus
Dey OF the state agricultural de-
partment.
These experts had been so sur
prised last summer by results of
milk tests here that they had re-
fused to believe their own fig
ures, and had made second test.
which brought out the same proof
Of purity of milk.
Figures today from the new
test show that the diaries whose
score for pure milk was of high
per centage last October, when
the last test was made, have kept
up their standard, while other
diaries have improved. The low
est score in 81 dairies is 1915,
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-02-25

and the highest 96.20. Any score
of more than 70 is considered TO
indicate healthful milk.
The seven dairies with high
est scores for purity are McKin-
ney's, $500; lakewood. $3.50; A.
G. Conner, 95.40; l.. T. Algers,
95.05; Fleet, 94.30; Hiawatha,
