Good Advice For Thin, Undevel-

Good Advice For Thin, Undevel-
oped Men and Women.
Thousands of people suffer
from excessive thinness, weak
nerves and feeble stomachs who,
having tried advertised flesh
makers, food-fads. physical cul-
ture stunts and rub-on creams. re-
sign themselves to lifelong skim
niness and think nothing will
make them fat. Yet their case is
not hopeless. A recently discov-
cred combination of assimilative
agents has made fat grow after
years OF thinness, and 1t is also
unequalled, judging from reports,
for repairing the waste of sick
ness or faulty digestion and for
strengthening the nerves. This
remarkable preparation is called
Sargol. Six strengthening, fat
producing assimilative elements of
acknowledged merit have been
combined In this preparation,
which is endorsed and used by
prominent people everywhere. 1t
is absolutely, harmless, inexpen-
sive and efficient.
A few weeks systematic use Of
Sargol should go far to produce
flesh and strength by correcting
faults Of digestion and by supply

While this new preparation has
from reports given splendid re-
suits as a nerve-tonic and vital
izer, Its use is not recommended
to nervous people unless they
wish to gain at least ten poundns
of flesh.

DESCRIBES SCHEME
OF LOOTING STATE

OLYMPIA, Jan. 26.-That John
F. Gillies, former state claim
agent, began with him the scheme
of looting state industrial insur-
ance funds two years ago, was the
testimony of Frank w. Stone, con-
fessed accomplice, when he took
the stand this morning in the trial
of Gillies for forgery.
Stone said that Gillies helped
him out when he was in financial
difficulty two years ago and that
this was how he happened to get
acquainted with him.
A little later, Stone testified,
Gillies came to him with the plan
of forging state warrants through
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-01-26

the commission office. He in
structed Stone in the art OF MAX
ing forgeries so as to escape de-
lection, and coached him how to
pass them.
Stone Cashed Half.
According to the plan, Stone
was to cash half of the warrants,
Gillies to cash the other half, he
said.
Stone told amusing incidents of
mistakes he made In forging the
names of workmen, doctors and
road foremen, Identifying the al
legged forged claims with recollec-
tions of how he forged the vari-
GUS letters of the names with a
hand Impractical in the art.

Despite evidence which the
state believed conclusive, the

proprietor Of the Savoy hotel,
charged with obtaining money
from fallen woman, returned a
verdict today of not guilty.
Practically the same witnesses
testified in Anich's case as in
the trial of Harold Regan, con-

A CITY MANS NOVEL SCHEME TO
GET BACK TO THE FARM

For men who are digusted with city
life. and who want to get back to the
farm, a scheme discussed in an editor
ial in the Farm and Fireslde, should
prove of the greatest interest.
A subscriber to Farm and Fireside
with a family to support and little
chance to save, but who had a nest
egg of $4,000 as the result of twelve
years economy discussed a co-opera-
tive farming scheme with some of his
friends who were in a similar posi-
ton, and most of whom were farm
bred. They planned to move to some
section of the South where land is
comparatively cheap and to settle as
community on a tract that would
provide a farm of about eighty acres
for each family The plan was to buy
the equipment for the farm on some
cooperative basis, also improved
breeding sires for stock raising, and
building, house and farm supplies in
the same way With $4,000 apiece
they would have enough and to spare.
at was agreed that one or two
heavy tractors and several light ones
would furnish power to operate the
machinery on a dozen farms, and by
hiring one practical successful farmer
to manage the entire farming opera
ton, a reasonable degree of success
could be counted on from the start.
This plan appealed quite strongly TO
most of the men present who were
farm-bred, and to the number Of about
fifteen altogether. What won the ia
vor of majority of these men was
the idea of being able to establish an
up-to-date school and provide conven-
fences such as running water and cleo
trio light by cooperative means from
the start This would be brought
about by locating the homes in a lit
tie settlement in the center of the tract
purchased.
"ehis seems to be an absolutely new
angle of the back-to-the-farm move
ment," says the editor. "Of course
there have been real-estate boom
schemes foated along somewhat sim
liar lines, but the development of a
plan by members of a city church club
to carry church and school and socia
organization and modern city conven-
fences into farm pioneering puts new
phase on the city-to-country move
ment"

TAFT ADVOCATES NAVY EQUAL
TO THAT OF GERMANY

Washington, Penn, May 30-Former
President William II. Taft, speaking at
Washington and Jefferson College here
today, criticized the foreign policy OF
the present Administration toward
Mexico and the Philippines, advocated
a navy which at least would be equal
to that of Germany, and an army re-
serve that would bring out an effective
fighting force up to half a million men.
Regarding Mexico he said:
Mexico has become an international
nuisance, but there is no use to cry
over that split milk now. We have
really interviewed two or three times.
If we had left the Mexicans to work
out their own salvation entirely it
could not be a worse job. do not
want to intervene. ! know too much
of the cost"
He also took issue with the peace
advocacy of W. j, Bryan.

resistance when attack comes, and that

HEARD AT THE NATIONAL
CAPITAL

Washington--The Democrats Of the
Senate spent a rather unpleasant half
hour a few days ago when Senator
Kenyon, Of Iowa, exposed the extrava-
ganoe OF the present administration.
Sheppard, of Texas, who has posed as
an advocate of economy, came In for
more than an average share of atten-
ton Not long ago Sheppard intro
duoed a bill proposing to make a re-
duction in nearly all governmental
salaries until the present lack of rev.
Gnu It's icen oy"rcuu- Ken,tI read
the bill to the Senate, whereupon CAL
linger, Of New Hampshire, recalled the
fact that on the day after Sheppard
offered that bill he introduced five
bills to appropriate sums ranging from
$4,000 to $250,00O for public buildings
in Texas, one of the $4,000 appropria-
lions being for a town with a popula-
ton Of only 1886. Various Democratic
Senators tried to come to the aid Of
Sheppard in the debate but they could
MT overcome the conclusion that plat
form pledges of economy we're intend
ed merely to catch votes and we're not
pledges intended to be kept while in
Office.

1t is not all peace and harmony in
the ranks of Democracy. There are a
number of Democratic members in
Congress at both ends of the Capitol,
who are chatting under the White
House yoke. 1t is all over the "legis-
lative program" Of the President. He
wants certain bills and he desires to
select the order in which they are to
be considered, and this is where he has
chafed the political skin of some of
his party leaders. Many of the Demo-
Gratis are expressing their views on
presidential interference with the leg
islative branch of the government, in
language more forcible than eloquent
and unless the breach can be healed
President Wilson is likely to find him
self without a majority vote behind
him on several propositions in which
he is vitality interested.

For some reason or other Demo-
cratic members OF the present Con-
gress have not seemed to enthuse over
the latest turn in the diplomatic rela-
lions with Germany. Both publicly
and privately they have been decided
ly mum in discussing the situation and
while everybody is rejoicing the crisis
has apparently passed for the present,
yet no one has yet had the temerity to
rise up and hail the outcome as a
great administration victory.

Gossip about the Capitol is to the
effect that most vigorous and active

coming months. Notwithstanding that
every indication points to the Repub-
Leans controlling the 65th Congress,
yet no stone will be left unturned 1t
is the intention to call the attention OF
the country in a nation wide campaign
to the errors, short comings and mis-
takes of Democracy. In thirty-four
districts now held by Democrats in the
House a change of from SO to go votes
would have made the present lower
branch of Congress Republican by 2S

Note Will Not SWerve
Entente. London Hears

London, Dec. 23.-The reply to Presi-
dent Wilson's note already has been
considered by the British Cabinet. The
impression is given that the note will
not defect the government in any way
from its plans for prosecuting the war.
1t is understood the communication Will
point to the speeches Of Premier Lloyd
George and French, Russian and Italian
statesmen as setting forth the position
Of the Allies.
The report was discussed to-day that
the reply Of the Entente Allies to the
peace proposals Of the Central Powers
was being drawn up at Rome, whence
it would be forwarded to Germany.
All the Allies. even the smallest bel
ligerents. will be signatories.

hardly any possibility that the reply 10
Germany will be dispatched before
Christmas. Owing TO difficulty i'm com
municatiOn. u is even possible that the
answer will not be forwarded within
ten days.
