Mysterious
ADJ REEVES
Recall Talk

Interest in a possible recall of
city officials was revived today
by mysterious classified adver-
tisement inserted in The Times
and other newspapers.
The lad" asked voters whether
they would sign recall petition
against one or more of the pres
ent commissioners, and whether
they would vote for the recall.
All effort to learn who insert
ed the advertisement proved fail
ures.
Mayor Fawcett, who recently
announced that recall was De-
ing started against him, accused
James B. Agner, former superin-
tendent of water mains, of puD-
fishing the notice.
II don't know who they want
to recall, unless it is Mr.. Drake
or myself" said the mayor.
Commissioner Atkins has al
ways stood in with the crowd
that is behind this recall agita-
tion. He even paid $25 into their
fund during the campaign. | saw
his name on the list, and the

I'VE note with pleasure your

Thin People Gained
Weight Quickly
by Following This Simple Sug-
gestiOn.

BY Following This Simple Sug-
gestion.
Thin men and women who
would like to increase their
weight with 10 or 10 pounds of
healthy stay there" fat should
try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for while and note
results. Here is good test
worth trying. First weigh your
self and measure yourself. Then
take Sargol-one tablet with
every meal-for two weeks. Then
weigh and measure again. 1t ism t
question of how you look or
feel or what your friends say and
think. The scales and the tape
measure will tell their own story,
and many thin men and women
We believe can easily add from
five to eight pounds in the first
fourteen days by following this
simple direction. And best of all,
the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make
fat, but mixing with your food, it
aims to turn the fats, sugars and
starches of what you have eaten,
into rich, ripe fat producing nour-
ishment for the tissues and
blood-prepare it in an easily as
simulated form which the blood
can readily accept. Much of this
nourishment now passes from
your body as waste. But Sargol
works to stop the waste and do 1t
quickly and to make the fat pro-
ducing contents of the very same
meals you are eating now develop
pounds and pounds OF healthy
flesh between your skin and
bones. Sargol is safe, pleasant,
efficient and inexpensive.

ave-, and other leading druggists
in this vicinity sell it in large
boxes-forty tablets to a package
on a guarantee of weight in
crease or money back as found
in each large box.

Praise for the work of the civil
service board and suggestions for
further efficiency in the method
of selecting city employees, were
given in a report issued today by
committee of the Rotary club
which has ben investigating the
civil service system here.
One of the suggestions is that
an efficiency system of reports
should be installed for following
up the work of persons certified
as competent who receive employ
ment. 1t is urged that the city
commissioner be asked to put
rules in operation.
1--WE suggest in this connec-
tion that weight should be given
to personality" the report says.
This feature does not appear in
the list of subjects considered in
your examination of candidates!
Personality is a matter of
great Importance, particularly in
persons asking for position where
they will be in contact with the

Haffer Trial

In a motion for a new trial
filed today in the case of Paul
Haffer, convicted of libeling
George Washington memory,
Attorney Pendleton asserted that
Judge Card was in error when he
excluded the defendant from the
courtroom while the trial was in
progress and gave instructions to
the jury.
1T is absolutely against the
law of this state" Pendleton said
today, for judge to have any
communication with a jury when
the defendant is out of the room.
IL we do not get a new trial,
feel certain the supreme court
will force the superior court to
make the concession"
Pendleton's affidavit is taken
from the court record and quotes
the courts words.
Affidavits of Paul Haffer and

Pendleton.
