How We Can Increase
Our Weight

THIN people, particularly those who
are ten pounds or more under
normal weight, and who would
like to put on some good healthy stay
there flesh will be glad to know that
such result is often made possible by
merely enabling the system to extract
and assimilate greater proportion Of
the flesh and fatmaking elements in our
daily meals.
1t is said that while thin people eat
enough the greater portion of the flesh
making nourishment of their food goes
right through their bodies as waste be-
cause their assimilative organs are de-
fectfve and cannot absorb them.
To correct such a defect and to get
100 per cent strength and flesh making
efficiency from your food try taking a
little Sargol with meals for a few
weeks.

AGED FARMER
IS KILLED ON
RAIL CROSSING
Hurled over Colts Head in
Front of Train at Watson
near City of Fairmont.

FAIRMoNT, Dec. 27-William
Cooper, an aged farmer OF Tappnn.
Taylor county. small village few
miles from Boothsville. was instantly
killed about 8 O'Clock Tuesday after
noon. when he was struck and run
ovel. by double-header freight train
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
bound east. The accident occurred
lat the railroad crossing at Watson, a
point where many similar accidents
have occurred in the past.
Mr. Cooper was riding black colt
when he met death. He had brought
"a COW TO the Fairmont market and
disposed or il here. The COW was
sold 10 a local butcher, and with the
proceeds OF the sale in his pocket the
farmer started home.
As he approached the railroad
crossing the colt became nervous. A
long freight train drawn by two en-
gines was proceeding up the river,
and Mr.. Cooper refined in his horse.
But when about 400 feet from the
able and started running out the
road. Just before reaching the cross
ing the horse tried to stop and his
hBofs slid along the concrete road
making marks in the concrete plainly
visible an hour after the accident.
Just as the horse reached the edge of
the track it stopped, and Mr.. Cooper
was hurled over its head onto the
track and directly in front of the en-
gines. The two engines and about
nine cars passed over his body before
the train could be stopped and he was
horribly nlutilated. The body was
picked up and sent to the Farm ont
hospital in this city. Later it was
removed TO the NIusgrave undertake
ing rooms and prepared for burial.
The colt continued to run up the
railroad track in front of the engine
for 800 or a 90 feet and then stopped.
Later it was taken back to Tanpan
by one Of the sons OF the dead man.
Ernest Sypoult, a Watson boy, was
engaged by Cooper when the farmer
reached that town. to assist him in
driving the COW on to FHairmont. Az
Cooper asked Sypou1t to ride back to
Watson with him on the horse. The
boy declined and rode back on 9
street car. To his decision to ride on
the car he probably owes his life.
Cooper was about so years of age.
He is survived by a wife and Ave
children. His wife was before her
marriage Miss Eunfce Arder, of Nc
Gee, Taylor county. The children
who survive are Ernest and HOY,
married sons who reside in MCGEE;
