What to Do to Get Fat
and Increase Weight
The Real Cause of Thinness

Most people eat from four to six
pounds of good, solid fat-mak!ng food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce, while on the other
hand many of the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all
is the nature of the individual. II isn't
Natures way at all.
Most ,tIn people stay thin because
their powers of assimilation are defec-
tive. They absorb Just enough OF the
food they eat to maintain life and a
semblance OF health and strength.
single stay there" pound. All the fat
producing elements Of their food Just
stay there in the intestines until they
pass from the body as waste. What
such people need is something that will
prepare these fatty food elements so
that their body can absorb them and
deposit them all about the body-some-
blood corpuscles and increase their
blood's carrying power.
For such a condition il is we'll to
recommend eating a Sargol tablet with
every meal Sargol is not, as some be-
lieve. a patented drug, but is simply a
careful combination of six of the most
effective and powerful assimilative and
flesh building elements known to chem
istry. It is absolutely harmless, yet has
been wonderfully effective and a single
tablet eaten with each meal often ac-
cording to reports of users, has the eff
feet Of increasing the weight OF a thin
man or woman from three to fve
pounds a week. Sargol is. sold by G.
A. Gorgas and other good druggists
everywhere on a positive guarantee of
weight increase or money back.-Ad-

ASTHMA SUFFERERS
MAKES BREATHING EASY

In New England where Bronchitis,
Asthma and other diseases of the
throat and lungs are so prevalent some
wonderfully speedy recoveries have
recently been effected by the use of a
treatment known as OXidaze, first in
troduced by DR.. Eugene Howard,
prominent Worcester physician.
oXidaZe, which is a powerful, but
highly concentrated, combination of
curative agents. comes compressed in
small tablet which the patient dis
solves in the mouth. One of these
simple and pleasant tasting tablets
put in the mouth just before going TO
bed clears out all the choked-up air
passages, soothes the irritated hron-
chial tubes and enables the ashmatic
sufferer to breathe easily and naturally
while lying down and to get COM
Portable nights sleep. ONidaZe tablets
are harmless. contain no dangerous
habi forming drugs and are not at all
expensive. q. \. Gorgas and many
other druggists sell them and agree to
refund money to any purchaser who
does not obtain successful results from
their use. This certainly makes their
test an easy matter to all who suffer
from Asthma or Bronchitis.-Adv

Council Awards Audit
Contract to Pittsburgh
Firm; GorgGS DisapproUeS

With Mr. Gorgas, superintendent or
finance alone voting in opposition,
City Council this morning awarded the
contract for auditing the city treasury
books and accounts for the ten years
Company of Pittsburgh. at its bid of
$2,gI0.
Mr.. Gorgas declined to vote because
he said the investigation was aimed at
his department and that he could see
no need for it. Mayor Meals in vot-
ink with the other commissioners said
he did so, not because he thought
there was anything wrong but be-
cause he thinks all the city accounts
should be audited. Mr.. Bowman,
father OF the ordinance. declared that
no one had been accused of any wrong
doing throughout the whole transac-
ton relative TO the audit.
New ordinances were introduced by
Mr.. Lynch providing for the paving
of Green street from Woodbine TO Sem
eca, and May. Forster to Fifteenth; (;
and for striking Catharine and Nau-
dain streets, from Seventeenth to Eigh-
teenth. from -ne city may. This
for a lumber yard.
The Meals ordinances ruducing the
pay of a city detective from 1900 to
$1,000, and for substituting two police
constable jobs to detectives, were
passed finally. The ordinance author
izing the paving of Swatara street
from Eighteenth to Twenty-third was
passed finally.

Final plans for Steelton's big arbor
day to be celebrated Friday were COM
pleted at meeting of the Municipal
League of steelton in the offices of At
torney W. F. Darby last evening.
c. 5. Davis, chairman of the Parks
and Fairgrounds committee, reported
that number of members of the league
and prominent businessmen had offered
to supply number of trees for plant
ing and it was decided that the league
should buy sufficient number to sup
ply trees for all who wished TO plant
1t was suggested that the borough
send a squad of workmen from the
Highway Department to the park in
the morning to assist squad whose
wages will be paid by businessmen in
the work of digging holes for the
young trees and in clearing away un-
derbrush.
As planned now the program for ar
Dor day calls for special exercises in
all the borough schools Friday morn
ing in which 2,00O pupils will partici-
pate and the planting of trees in Lu-
ther r. Kelker Park by these same chill
dren in the afternoon.
The places for planting the young
trees will be marked by Emory Hamil-
ton, of the Berryhill Nursery Company,
Harrisburg, who will also superintend
the work of planting.
Following the discussion of Arbor
Day plans the league held an election
and chose ID. G. Becker, assistant
cashier of the Peoples Bank. as secre-
tary Mr.. Becker succeeds Charles Il.

Bethlehem.
The committee in charge of arrange
ments for the banquet in honor of new

pany and its new owners reported
progress and will hold another meet
ing this evening to set date for the
affair.
The league also showed its interest
in the ordinance now before council
granting the Pennsylvania Railroad
the right to establish three additional
grade crossings in running it's new
freight spur into the steel works. One
of the members inquired what the bor-
ough was to obtain in return for the
valuable rights granted and another
made the suggestion that council
wuold do well to consider the ordi-
nance carefully and to obtain valuable
concessions in return.

Pills on different occasions, when
have had pain across my kidneys and
it has only required a few doses Ia
relieve me. I couldn't recommend
anything better than Doan's Kidney
Pills for backache and l never hesi-
tate in doing so whenever l hear any
one complaining of their kidrseys."

On January 81, 1916, Mr.. Backen-
stoss said: "Since giving my former
recommendation for Doan's Kidney
Pills, l haven't had any trouble with

The Mayor, complained, informally,
that the ordinance didn't provide for
all it should. The measure should
require the jitneys to run all the
time, just as the trolley cars. If they
get the franchise for using the streets
the same as the trolley cars, they
should be subject to the same rules
