An Easy Way To Get
Fat And Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish 10 gain weight is that they insist on
drugging their stomach OF stuhlng il with
greasy foods; rubbing on useless "hesh
creams. ~ or following some foolish physical
culture stunt, while the real cause Of thin
ness goes untouched. You cannot get fat
until your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat.
There is a preparation known 10 reliable
druggists almost everywhere which seemingly
embodies the missing elements needed by the
digestive organs 10 help them convert food
into rich fat-laden blood. This modern
treatment is called sargol and has been
termed the greatest Of flesh builders. Sargol
aims through regenerative. re-constructive
powers 10 coax the stomach and intestines to
literally soak up the fattening elements Of
your food and pass them into the blood
where they are carried TO the starved
broken down cells and tissues Of your body.

amazing transformation should produce az

There we're not so many buyers
from various parts Of the country in
the New York hotels as there had
been last week. The greater part OF
them had gone home Friday and Sat
urday, in anticipation of a railroad
strike.
But I found one wide-awake bust
ness man at the Imperial Hotel who
had opinions of his own regarding
business conditions and the need for
a genuine protective tariff, and who
was not afraid to express them with
vigor. He was c. w. Hotchkiss, who
has a large jewelry store in Ardmore,
Okla. He is here buying goods. He
has been in the East for a week or
so, and has made trips 70 Providence,
r. l.. and Newark, N. J., and other
jewelry manufacturing centres.
"The retail jewelry business is
booming" said Mr.. Hotchkiss. Il
have never known it to be better nor
as good There is a great deal of
loose money all through the country
and the people are spending It freely.
They are buying luxuries as they
never did before. They are buying
automobiles and jewelry and putting
lots of money into diamonds. Dia-
monds cost a good deal more today
they did a few years ago. People are
paying $500 a karat for diamonds that
they could have bought fifteen years
ago for s125 a karat. and they are
paying it willingly, too
Fear Foreign Competition.
But, just the same. I have found
that the big manufacturing jewellers
In the East are very careful not TO
turn out more goods than they have
orders for They are busy filling or
ders, but they are not making goods
from the future. Why? Because they
are afraid that when the war is over
in Europe the German and French
and Austrian manufacturers will
flood the United States with jewelry
at prices with which our manufac-
turers cannot compete. They are
afraid TO take the risk OF the Demo-
Gratis remaining in power and failing
TO give them a tariff that will protect
their business.
Il am a Republican" Mr.. Hotch-
kiss continued, ''but that hasn't any
thing to do with my views on the
tariff. I know any number OF Demo-
Gratis who feel exactly as I do on
that question. These Democrats are
afraid of their own party when it
comes TO the tariff question. They are
afraid that they won't get the pro-
lection they need to continue in bus

would feel safer If the Republicans

/ the Hughes Alliance at salt Lake
City. The chairmen and members are
in constant conference with the COM
mittee members Of the various towns
and cities and are getting most
wonderful results both in mem
bership and amount of work
accomplished The situation is
the same in Colorado with the State
branch at Colorado Springs. Idaho
has two branches. one at kellogg and
one at Wallace, and is doing some
splendid work in the way Of getting
enrollments and worth while sup
port.
In almost every instance the field
workers and leaders OF the movement
have received the most cordial CO.
operation from the political leaders
and editors OF the influential papers
in the different States. People like
Ex-Governor Carey, in Wyoming, and
Governor Capper, in Kansas, are do
ing all in their power TO help us
gain our end. Editors of such papers
as the Colorado Springs Gazette. the
Butte Miner, and the Denver Times,
are lending valuable vote getting sup
port through their editorials and the
printing or our enrolment blanks in
their columns. It is remarkable TO
note the things that Hughes stands
for: q united citizenship, industrial
and social preparedness. economical
and efficient national housekeeping,
and national action on all interstate
matters--is bringing the support of
other papers besides those that are
avowedly Republican.
Everything is being done to organ
ize all classes and all stratas of peo-
pie The miners of Wyoming, made
up of Italians, Swedes and Slavs, are
taking to the movement, with an en-
thusiasm and good will that is only
equalled by. the German and Scandi-
navian farmers in Kansas.

Polish Women's Alliance Of America,

Hughes Alliance is Of special import
to us. The Polish enfranchised women
Of the country control q vote whose
most conservative count is 100000.
That is only one of the many perma-
nent organizations which are lending
a hand in our work. The Kings Coun-
ty Roosevelt League and the Women's
Kings County Republican League of
the State of Washington, have come
out openly in their cooperation with
the Hughes Alliance.
Mr.. Alvin Hert, manager Of the
western end Of Hughes political ar
fairs. has voiced his appreciation Of
the fine work being promulgated, and
has offered his support to the western
branches.
Apathy? Hardly! For the first
time in the history of the country, wo-
men are taking a definite purposeful
stand in the interest of launching a
constructive program that will make
the words United States" stand for
dominant Americanism."
