ORATOR|O SOC|ETY|S .
LOOKING FOR SINGERS
Appeal Sent Out by Sydney
Lloyd Wrightson for More
Cooperation.

An appeal TO Washington singers to
cooperate with the Washington Ora
torio Society so that the rendition of
oratoro in Washington will not have to
be abandoned has been sent out to the
musical directors of all local singing
organizations by Sydney Lloyd Wright
son, director of the Oratorio Societ. The
appeal Is specially directed for the pur-
pose of obtaining a chorus large enough
to warrant the giving of Mendelssohn's
"St. Paul. at an early date. The first
rehearsal will be held Monday.
The appeal reads:
"In February. 1915, 1t was my pleasure
TO conduct a performance Of The Mes
siah,' with a chorus of 146 voices. This
was the closing chapter of three years
effort on my part to build up and ohld
together q chorus which worked hard
and faithfully with me in the produc-
tion of three works during that time,
The Work OF God" by Gilbert spr9ss;
Messiah by Handel. Since the rem
dition of "The Messiah and the pres
eir time my associate conductor. mr.:
Henry II. Freeman. has successfully
AS repeated announcements have
been issued from time 10 time ny the

chorus warrants the taking up OF The
work. II is the intention TO give Men

further been announced that l shall con

ConsentinG to do so / have made the
lIuViso thpt unless the size of the
chorus is large enough to give a work Of
such magnitude, l shall not feel called

The undertaking OF this work means

Thin Men and Women
DO YOU WANT TO GET FAT AND

The trouble with most thin folks who wish
TO gain weight is that they insist'on druggins

ing some foolish physical culture stunt. while
the real cause OF thinness goes untouched
You cannot get fat until your digestive tract
properly assimilates the food you eat.
There is preparation known to reliable
druggists almost everywhere which seeming-
ly embOdes the missing elements needed by
the digestive organs to help them convert
food into rich. fat-laden blood. This prepara-
tion is called Sargol and much remarkable
testimony is given to its successful use in
flesh building. Sargol, which comes In the
form of a small non-injurious tablet. taken at
meals and mixing with the digesting food.
tends to prepare its fat, flesh and muscle
building elements so that the blood can read
lily accept and carry them to the starved
portions OF the body. You can readily pic
ture the transformation that additional and
previously lacking flesh making material
should bring with your cheeks filing out,
hollows about your neck, shoulders and bust
disappearing and your taking on from 10 to %
pounds of solid healthy flesh. Sargol is

DODGE BROTHERS SHOW
MARVELLOUS FIRST YEAR

Start Making Cars a Year Ago and
Now Well Up Among Leaders,:
Dodge Brothers, Detroit, have just
completed their first year as manu-
facturers of motor cars and tn record
established is unique, even in this
amazing industry.
The first completed car rolled out
of the plant in December, 1914, and
actual shipments started in January,
1915. With the close of the first year,
Dodge Brothers merely state that the
public has "bought more than $780,
OOO'OOO worth Of their cars. Nothing
is said of production plans for next
year, but the announcement is made
that the demand, which has always
been ahead of production, remains I'M
satisfied. i.
The record made in the first year is
the talk Of motor car circles. Be-
fore beginning the manufacture OF a
car beuing their own name. Dodge
Brothers were well known in the
trade as large makers of automobile
parts. But no one anticipated when
It was announced that they would
bring out a car that within a year
they would jump among the first six
companies in the country in the pro-
duction Of cars. But such is the fact
and the career Of Dodge Brothers is
sure to be carefully watched by both
the trade and public during 1916.
