"si clonen Is Dead

Andrew l.. Bowen, Familiarity known
to Sitter readers as Isl Clone" pass
ed away at his late residence in South
Dorset Tuesday afternoon.
"Si Clone" had been correspond
ent Of The Sitter for many years, and
his letters under the Dorset Valley
head We're always eagerly sought by
the cider readers OF this paper, In
deed, during the past few months,
when illness has incapacitated him
from writing, number of letters have
been received at this office urging us
to wake up Isl Clone.'
While not a finished writer Isl
Clone" usually handled his subject
without gloves. He was often ac-
cused of being a pessimist,- but nearly
always vein OF dry humor reliyed
his moralizing from the gloom of utter
pessimism.
With nature az open as a cloud
less day, he was intolerant of politi-
cal trickery or crooked business meth
DDS. and much of his writing dealt
with these subjects. which he handled
in words that the ordinary reader
could easily understand.
The passing OF Isl Clone" from our
columns will be a distinct loss to our
readers who will doubtless join us in
extending our deepest sympathy to
the bereaved family and friends.-Lon-

GAINING WEIGHT
IS LIKE PUTTING
MONEY IN BANK
When Mails Pay a Profit There
is No Danger Of physi
cal Bankruptcy
WAR VETERAN WAS BENEFITED
Leo p. Fortler Of Northampton Gains
Ten Pounds in Weight and is
Relieved of Stomach Trouble
Since Taking Tanlac.

Are your meals paying dividends, or
are they plunging you headlong into
physical bankruptcy?
Every meal you eat should give
more than hunger satisfaction. More
blood for veins and more flesh for
bones are what you should have.
Some folks will not grow plump.
The more they eat the thinner they
get. Something must, be wrong.
These people eat plenty of flesh build
ing food, still they gain very little
strength.
The man who ate and did not get
fat, suggested that it made him poor
to carry 1t around.
The too slender man or woman
rarely is happy.
Plumpness of the body depends up
on the stomach extracting the fats
from the foods that are eaten When
the stomach fails at fat making, the
whole system suffers.
Plumpness does not depend upon
the amount of food that is eaten; It
depends upon the amount of food that
is assimilated by the stomach. In
cases of extreme slenderness, nine
times out of ten it may be traced to
stomach sluggishness

A TESTIMONIAL

Mr. Albert Keller of Rochester, N.
Y, was employed for years by the
Rochester Optical company as a
skilled tense worker at salary OF
not less than $500 a day. He lost his
position unexpectedly and no reason
was given him for his discharge. Then
Mr.. Keller consulted Frederic Ten
Brock, the astrologer and clairoyant
and here is given part of letter from
Mr.. Keller to the life reader.
"When you told me that my fore
man was angry on account of slaDd'
erous accusation, acted as you adj
vised AS result | not only re-
ceived my position back, but was adj
vanced in standing. Since then your
advice on money matters has been
