An Easy Way to
Increase Weight

GOOD ADVICE FOR THIN FOLKS.
The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stuffing
1t with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
flesh creams" or following some fool
ish physical culture stunt. while the
real cause OF thinness goes untouched.
You cannot get fat until your digestive
tract assimtlates the food you eat.
There Ii a 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 thru regenerative. recon
structive powers to coax the stomach
and intestines to literally soak up the
fattening elements of your food and
pass them intp 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

Twentieth Wedding Anniversary

EAST MADISON. June 14-Last
Saturday evening the home of Mr..
and Mrs NJ G. Baker was the scene
Of most delightful gathering. De
spite the rain, eighteen out of twenty
invited guests celebrated what proved
to be the twentieth marriage anniver-
sary of Mr.. and Mrs Baker The
fact that it was their anniversary
was not made known until Mr.. Baker
read to the company the poem he
wrote to his sweetheart, Carrie Keyes
twenty-one years ago. Many games
were played and delicious refresh
ments of ice cream, cake and candy
were served by the hos 'ess. Mr.. and
Mrs. Baker, through their married
life, have not been blest with child
rem, but they have overcome that
handicap by ever remaining young
themselves.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Republicans Remember the Primaries
June ~

As there are a number of candi-
dates from which to select county of
ficers. It would seem that the ticket
in September should be made up of
men from all parts of the county as
it viii insure a greater degree of sue
cess TO the party at the Fall Election.
Under the present law the larger
towns can elect all the officers at the
Primaries, but in justice TO all the
smaller towns should be remembered.
The eastern part of the county has
a candidate before the Primaries, he
has served upon the board of select
men fifteen years, thirteen years as
chairman; also Supt of Schools ten
years. He has built the state road
in his town, eight years. BY a
special resolve of the Legislature the
state appropriated one thousand dol
lars to repair the road through the
Chandler swamp, very difficult
piece to build, the town put eight
hundred dollars with this fund. Mr..
Laughton was put in charge of this
work, the road was built in 1913,
hardly a dollar has been used on this
road since its completion and it is i'll
almost perfect condition at the pres
ent time.
The experience gained in the diff
ferent capacities in which he has
served has been worth something to
himself and to his town. If you
think it will be worth anything to the
county vote for John S. Laughton of
Ripley for County Commissioner
A REPUBLICAN VOTER.
