WILL Make
1916 FESTO
HUMID n Ger

Tacoma will have a Montamara
Festo this summer that will re-
semble the celebrations of the
good old days."
Edward p. Kemmer, well
known publicity man and pro-
Queer of large entertainment pro-
grams, who was appointed yester-
day as membership secretary OF
the Commercial club, will have
active charge of the Festo for
1916.
THE business men realize that
Tacoma's two big assets are Mt.
Tacoma and the Stadium" says
Kemmer. I'VE can't improve the
mountain, but we can enhance the
Stadium's value by staging a
mammoth show there.
This years spectacle will be
like those of the first years of the
Montamara Festo, which every
one will remember as epochs in
Tacoma's history"
A permanent committee OF
three members will be appointed
soon to assist him in arranging
for the spectacle.

Thinks Many Thin People Get No
More Than Half Value From
Their Meals.

Rundown Underweight Men and
Women Who Sought Missing
Link Between Food Eating
and Flesh Making Report
ed Gain From 10 to %

If the sugar you put in your
morning coffee had not dissolved
1t would not have sweetened your
coffee. If fifty per cent of the
flesh, fat and tissue building
nourishment of your meals is new
er assimilated by your blood but
is continually leaving your body
as waste, 1t is no wonder you stay
thin, rundown, lack strength and
are from ten to twenty-five
pounds underweight.
Numerous tests seem to prove
that many thin people stay thin
because of defective assimilation
of their food. They eat enough
but get little or no good from it
and seemingly have missed the
link between food eating and
flesh making.
In an effort to correct this con-
dition there has been found q
preparation called Sargol which
taken at meals, helps to prepare
the nourishing flesh building
properties OF your food, so that
the blood may more readily Ab'
sorb them. Sargol's aim is to- do
velop the flesh building values
in your food, to improve your
assimilation and to check the
wastes of valuable nourishmeht
that may now be going on In yoeI
system. It's action is both nat
ural and harmless and Its results
can be judged from the gratifying

my names Jake Kemp. The rest Of
this outfit is six mules packin' orchids
and the greaser packin' the Mules
That's all right said Gerry, II
guess we can put you up"
He led the way and the pack-traln
splashed along after him. The mules
were soon relieved of their burdens
and turned into the pasture. Boni-
facio took the native muleteer away
to his quarters and Gerry and the
stranger passed through the house to
the kitchen.
A patrlarchaI hospitality came nat
urally to the inmates of Fazenda
Flores. 1t was tradition not only on
that plantation but throughout a vast
hinterland, where life was rude and
death sudden, to be gentle to the
stranger, to feel him and his beast
and to speed him on in the early morn
Ing. There was but one rule to the
stranger: He must keep his eyes to
the front Jake Kemp had evidently
learned the brief code. He ate raven
ously, poured down coffee with the
recklessness Of a man that draws on
limltless power to sleep, and made
his few remarks to Gerry and to Ger
ry alone.
Gerry was feeling strange citation
that he strove In vain to account for.
This was an American but beyond that
they had nothing in common New
York and Texas are connected only by
fiction. Perhaps it was just curiosity.
Curiosity invaded him. What was a
Texas cowboy doing on the road past
Fazenda Flores with mule-train of
orchids? AS an opener he declared
himself. "My names Gerry Lansing"
he said. "I've settled down here"
"Soy' said Kemp, as he drew from
his vest pockets the markings of a olga
rette. Gerry had seen the yellow pa
pers and the little bags of faxed to-
bacco. They struck convincingIy the
note of the West Reckon you're I'm
the States" drawled Kemp as he ac-
complished the cigarette.
"Yes," said Gerry and added, with
an idea to establishing a link, like
you"
Reckon you're FIN Moo Yawk." was
Kemp's next deliberate contribution
to the conversation.
With that, talk Jagged. Gerry in
stinctively avoided the question direct
and Kemp vouchsafed nothing more.
Not till Gerry came upon him hitching
up his loads early next morning did

his cigarette end and stood leaning
with crooked elbow and knee against
a veranda pillar. His keen aquiline
features and deep-set eyes were liz up
by the moonlight and seemed scarcely
to belong to his great, loose-jointed
frame. He was loose-jointed but like
a fiail-strong and tough. There's
one thing about the purple Cities" he
added, ''the daylight always beats you
to 'em jest like in the POM" He
turned and went off to bed.
Gerry sat on in the moonlight seized
by strange sadness-the sadness the
spirit feels under the troubled hover
ing of the unattainable and the mi
rage. Life had queer turns. Why
should a cowboy start out to look for
purple cities? 1t was grotesque on the
face of it but, beneath the face of 1t.
it was not grotesque.
Margarita stole out to seat herself
beside him. She slipped her hand into
his. She was worried. She was al
ways worried when Gerry's thoughts
were far away. THE Man." she said,
for thus she had christened her baby
boy from the day of his birth, "the
Man sleeps. He cried for thee and
thou didst not come. So he slept, for
he is a man."
Gerry's thoughts came back to his
little kingdom. He sighed and then
he smiled smile of content. ut IS
late then, my fiower?" He put his
arm around her. 'Let us go to bed,
for tomorrow there is work"
Tomorrow there Is always work.

he speak again and then he said with
a CLINT in his eye that was almost a
smile, Il guess them's the first orchids
that ever Travelled to market under a
diamond hitch"
Here was an opening but it came
too late. Gerry did not try to follow
it up. Once more in the saddle Kemp
seemed to acquire sudden new ease
Of body and mind. He hung by one
knee and a stirrup and leaned over
toward Gerry. stranger" he said,
"Pm much obliged to We. It's long
way FIN the Alamo to Moo Yawk, but
the hull country's under one fence"
He waved his hand and was gone af-
ter his pack-train, lifting his mule with
his goose-necked spurs into protest
ing canter. Two weeks after his pass
ing. as evening was settling on Fa-
zenda Flores, the echo of mules
mincing steps on the bridge made Ger
ry look up from his work
"Howdy," said Kemp and paused on
that to measure his welcome. He was
satisfied and urged his tired mule on
towards the house. Gerry walked be-
side him and learned that the ship
ment of orchids had just caught the
steamer at the coast. Kemp unsaddled
his mule and tossed the harness and
slicker upon the veranda. AS Gerry
was closing the gap into the pasture
Kemp came up and stood beside him.
He cast knowing eye over the fat
stock. You done good job for Lie
ber,' he remarked.
Gerry nodded little sadly. Yes"
he said. 'the contracts filed. Lieber's
sending for the stock day after tomor-
row.
AS they sat on the veranda that
night smoking endless cigarettes,
Kemp turned to his host. Dye mind

an shouldn't wonder if let out

Gerry nodded Understandings.
why did you leave it?" he ventured
and then regretted and murmured,

said Margarita II am not afraid OF
work. Geree The end OF work never
comes. 1t is the things that end that
make me afraid" She, too. had felt
the huttering wings of the unattain-
able. Unknowingly she stood beneath
the shadow of the strangers purple
city's walls.
The next day Kemp tried honestly
to help Gerry with the filling of the
soil but the effort was stllI-born. Kemp
had almost forgotten how to walk and
his high-heeled boots fell foul of every
hnmmock. He wandered of to the
house with solemn face. When Gerry
came in 20 the midday meal. he found
him with saddle propped on the
arm of a bench giving the delighted
swaddled heir to Fazenda Flores his
first lesson in equitation.
That night they sat again on the
veranda steps but Kemp was not talk
alive. He whitfield stick until it dis
