A Message To Thin
Weak Scrawny Folks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to so Pounds
of Solid, Healthy Permanent Flesh

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say, II
can't understand why I do not get fat.
eat plenty of good nourishing food"
The reason is just this: You cannot
get fat, no matter how much you eat,
unless your digestive organs assimilate
the fat-making elements of your food
instead of passing them out through
the body as waste.
What is needed is a means of gently
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 starv-
ed, shrunken, rundown tissues and
build them up. The thin persons body
is like dry sponge-eager and hungry
for the fatty materials of which ii is
being deprived by the failure 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 leak
age of fats Is to try Sargol, the famous
flesh building agent that has been so
widely sold in America in recent years.
Take a little Sargol tablet with every
meal and see If your cheeks don't quick
ly fill out and rolls of firm, healthy
flesh form over your body. covering
each bony angle and projecting point.
Geo. A. Gorgas and other good drug
gists have Sargol or can get ii from
their wholesaler, and will refund your
money If you are not satisfied with the
gain in weight ii produces as stated on
the guarantee in each large package.
1t is inexpensive, easy to take and high
ly efficient-Advertise

Girls Of State Board
Meet Ghosts in Cellar

The girls of the State Livestock
Sanitary Board gave q Hallowe'e en-
party at the home of Miss Mary But
terworth. 211 Forster street last night.
The house was elaborately decorated
with black cats, witches, and owls all
over the walls with streamers of black
and yellow crepe paper festooned
from the chandelier to the corners of
the ceiling from which were suspended
little yellow pumpkins. The guests
came in masque and were met at the
door by a Yama-Yama girl and es-
corted around to the rear of the house
where they entered the cellar and were
greeted by Miss Butterworth who
with the assistance of a flash light
escorted each one to a chair. The cell
lar was in total darkness except for
the OCCASIONAL flash light. Miss Jean
Rauch told a ghost story during
which there were numerous groans
and queer things creeping around the
floor. At one point in the story the
light was thrown on q corpse in a
coffin from which a snake slowly
moved its head upwards. At the same
time some of the girls were hit with
broom and one covered with phos-
phorus gave a weird dance which
barely missed being the cause of a
call for the ambulance.
They were delighted bunch when
they were allowed to go upstairs
where at nine o'clock a most elabor-
ate three-course supper was served.
There were many tricks played dur
ing the evening and the girls though
reporting a wonderful time confessed
to-day that they were glad to get out
of the atmosphere where witches fly,
owls hoot and the dead come back to
life.
Those present were Miss Jean
Rauch. Miss Dorothy Dyer, Miss Mabel
Shelley, Miss Mary Burkholder Miss
Celia Hinkley, Miss Sara Kaufman.
Miss Sara Eppley, Miss Mae Lutes and
Miss Katherine Spofford.
Miss Mirabelle Jameson of Cincin-
natl is guest of her cousin, Miss

NO NEED TO
FEAR Badness
Tells How to Make Hair Grow Thick
and Lustrous on Bald and
Thin Spots

and Lustrous on Bald and
Thin Spots
Thousands of men and women are
growing bald every day and don't
know the reason why. This is indeed
pity, says a hair specialist, who
states that badness usually comes
from carelessness, and that anyone
who gives the hair just a little at
tention should always have an abund-
ance of good, healthy hair. Dandruff
and dirt cause badness by clogging
the pores in the scalp, and giving the
dandruff germs fertile ground for
prolific breeding.
The treatment, Is very simple; re-
move the dirt by shampooing at least
once in ten days and destroy the
dandruff germs by frequently apply
ing a little of the real Partisan Sage.
most efficient preparation that the
best druggists everywhere are now
recommending as one of the quickest
and safest treatments to surely stop
itching scalp and falling hair, remove
all dandruff and to properly nourish
and invigorate the hair roots.
Partisan Sage Is also the discrimin-
ating woman's favorite hair dressing
because 1t gives her hair a softness
and luster that fascinate and compel
admiration. A generous bottle costs
but little from H. c. Kennedy, who
guarantees 1t to you.

Dyspeptics Should
Avoid Drugs and
Medicines
Try n Little Magnesia Instead

Some people instinctively shut their
eyes to danger. and 1t may be that in
stinct or custom or habit causes dys-
peptics to take drugs, patent foods and
medicines artificial digestents, etc
But closing the eyes does not Danish
the danger, and 1t is certain that
neither drugs nor medicines possess the
power to destroy the harmful excessive
acid in the stomach. which is the un7
derlying cause of most forms of indi-
gestion and dyspepsia. They may give
temporary relief, but ever increasing g
quantities must be taken, and all the
time the acid remains in the stomach
as dangerous as ever.
Physicians know this and that is why
their advice SO often to sufferers from
digestive and stomach trouble is "Just
get about an ounce of pure blsurated
magnesia from G. A. Gorgas or any
local druggist and take a teaspoonful
in little water Immediately after
every meal: This will instantly neu-
traliZe all the harmful acid in the stom-
ach and stop all food fermentation, thus
enabling you to enjoy hearty meals
without experiencing the least pain or
unpleasantness afterward.-Adverti

Lest evening the members of the

the everyday business woman, but she
is quick to perceive the importance
end necessity of every detail of this
intricate system being in perfect har-
mony. On each telephone wire there
are over 800 soldered connections, and
1t is small wonder that there is occa-
sionally trouble on the wire" The
visit to the room where the switch
board is operated is the most interest
ing of all. Here each operator re-
ceives between three and four hum
dred calls day, many of them COM
ing simultaneously The great lesson
impressed upon each observer is that
the operator is entitled to every con-
sideration and that the prompt service
which almost constantly prevails
should be greatly appreciated.
The Bell Telephone Company has
undoubtedly shown its appreciation of
the service rendered by it's operators.
for it has provided luxurious room
where they may rest or read or play
games at certain periods and a dining
room where the girls will be able to
purchase a wholesomely prepared
lunch at a nominal cost.
Everyone should take advantage of
the opportunity afforded them to visit
the exchange at 210 Walnut street.
Visitors are welcome at any time and a
guide is always ready to offer his
services.
The members of the Commonweal
Club greatly appreciate the cordial re-
ception, courteous attention and the
beautiful chrysanthemums and souve-
