Thin People Can
Increase Weight

Thin men and women-that big hear
w. filling dinner you ate last night.
What became Of all that fat producing
it contained? You haven't
gained in weight one ounce, That food
Dassed from your body like unburned
coal through an open CRATE. The ma
terial was there, but your food doesn't
work and stick, and the plain truth
is YOU hardly get enough nourishment
from YOUR meals to pay for the cost
of cooking. This is true Of thin folks
The world over. Your nutritive or
gans, your functions of assimilation,
are probably sadly out Of gear and
need reconstruction,
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Cut ont everything but
the meals you are eating and eat with
every one Of those a single Sargol tab
let. In two weeks note the difference
Let the scales be the judge, Five to
eight good solid pounds Of healthy
"stay-there" fat may be the net re-
suit. SargoI aims to charge weak,
stagnant blood with millions Of fresh
new red blood corpuscIes-to give
the blood the carrying power to deliv-
er every ounce of fat-making material
in your food to every part OF your
body. Sargol, too, mixes with your
food. to prepare it for the blood in an
easily assimlated form. Thin people
tell how they have gained all the way
from 10 to 25 pounds month while
taking SargOl and say that the new
flesh stays put. sargol tablets are a
careful combination of six Of the best
assimilative clements known to chem
istry. They come 40 tablets to a
package, are pleasant, harmless and
inexpensive, and all good druggists in
this vicinity sell them subject to an
absolute guarantee OF weight increase
or money back as found in every large

money-though they never could prove
it. Again, he was accused OF Black
Hand methods In trying to get money
from the Sottosantos, man and wife,
and again he brought suit against
those who said it.
And now PortOrno. though he had
left Chicago and had hidden himself
away from Benton Harbor and con-
cealed himself whenever strangers
came to the door, and kept a revolver
hidden in his buggy when he drove
out. In spite Of all these precautions
Portorno is dead, slain by the very
people in which he had so strenu-
ously denied membership.
Portorno was murdered by two Of
his countrymen, who went to the lit
tie farm and hunted him out. Here is
the story Of bis death as nearly as
Sheriff f. Franz could get it;
Two strangers, middle-aged ltal-
ians, one Of them dressed in khaki
came to the PoHorno farm recently,
after inquiring in a real estate office
which road was the right one,
Mrs. Portorno, as was her custom,
sent the elder Of her girls TO tell the
father OF the presence Of the two
strangers and warned him not to come
out He always hid when visitors
came. This time he disobeyCd and
received the Italians. They stayed
over night.
On Tuesday, at the midday meal,
the strangers said to Portorno, you
sell us your farm and the past will
be forgotten" POrtorno did not an
swcr them.
In the afternoon a man came from
town to repair the well When he
had finished he asked Portorno to
drive him to the nterurban line. The
four got into the farm wagon. Por-
torno was always armed and kept a

She was daughter Of Spyridon

BLACK HAND MEN
KILL FOREIGN
BANKER
FIees to Chicago in a Vain At
tempt to Escape the Deadly
Band.

CHICAGO. August 22.-Chicago Ital-
ians gravely pointed to the murder of
Henry b. POrtorno, wealthy banker,
who was found murdered at his SIX
ty-acre fruit farm near Benton Har-
Dor. Mich, as startling evidence that
flight from the vengeance Of the Black
Hand vendetta is futile.
Many time Portorno while con
ducing private bank at 1874 East
Twenty-second street, had been ac-
cused Of being member Of the Black
Hand, but he denied it, and brought
damage suits against those who said
it.
once he declared that his bank had
been robbed of $500, but the police
suspected that he knew who got the

of the death of her father in 1873.
She retained even the early Victorian
fashion of doing her hair and in her
later years resembled nothing so
much as daguerreotypo come to
life. The house which she and her
brother occupied was very small
one, but in spite of that, some Of the
most distinguished political figures Of
the nineteenth century passed
through its drawing room. The pres
ent emperor Of Russia, Edward VII,
and Queen Alexandra Of England,
King Christian TX, of Denmark, were
only a few of those who were the
guests of this remarkable woman.

was frequently to Madam Sophia ,

WOMEN VOTERS
RAISE STANDARD
Percentage Of EducatiOnGreater
Among Women Says United
States Census Reports

Tho speakers who are appearing
In West Virginia under the auspices
OF the Association opposed to Woman
Suffrage are wonderful jugglcrG OF
Cacts and figures. 1t has been well
said that figures can't lie, but that
6Rurers may. Tho latest spasm
Of tho Anti orators has been
caused by their alleged fear that tho
extension OF tho franchise to their
Dvp sex will bring into the electorate
/ great mass of ignorant voters. Thoy
claim that great number OF for
sign and coorcd voters will thus DO
bnfranchIsed. To make their argu-
mont sound reasonable they say that
all foreigners and all blacks arc ig-
uorant,
AS a matter OF fact study Of the
last United States census report
shows that IN West Virginia the adj
ALTON OF women to the cufranchised
class will materially DECREASE the
Ignorant vote. The ignorant vote in
any state is the ilIIterate vote. But
since those who are using this fake
argument are calling all foreigners
and Colored people ignorant we WILL
show that the proportion OF these
will be decreased il the amendment
carries this fall. OF course tho vote
has already been given to coored
men and to naturalzed foreign males.
in West Virginia there are 1873 col
ored males to every 100 females.
Likewise there arc 1852 foreign males
to every 100 females The coIored
males and the foreign natuNltzed
males have already been given The

and 1868 naturali2ed men are voters.

 Edward B. Bailey, member of the firm of Henry w.

Spencer, counsel for the com mission, admitted that there were only 10000 bales available now. and intlmated that the Harvester concern had bought up the entire market ir order to discredt the planters or ganiZation.
