THIN MEN AND WOMEN

DO You Want to Get Fat and Strong
The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
m drngging their stomach or stntiing it
with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
"tiesh creams" or following some fool.
ish physical culture stunt, while the real
cause OF thinness goes untouched. You
cannot get fat until your digestive tract
properly assimilates the food You eat.
Drink n glass OF cold water four or five
times Il day and take the following
preparation known to reliable druggists
almost everywhere, which seemingly
embodies the missing elements needed
by the digestive organs to help them
convert food into rich, fat laden blood.
This preparation is called tonoline, and
much remarkable testimony is given as
to its successful use in flesh building.
Tonolinr, which in the form of Il
small ~nnn-injuriOus tablet, taken at
meals aud mixed with the digesting
food, tends to prepare fat. flesh and
muscle building elements SO that the
blood can readily accept and carry
them to the starved portion OF the body.

There are two reasons wty people decline tc CO., operate with the food administration by refusing to sign the food pledge cards disoGalty and the the other still more foolish is resentment against supposedly impertinent interference with the home. The people who imagine the latter have much to learn and they will shortly learn that they have obli gaton to the government: that wtile ones house is his castle in ordinary times, these ordinary times and castles are tumbling and crumbling. The government has the right and the power to call upon any citizen for any sacrifice the most trifling to the supremest. If it take away the or the husband and give his life in defense of the country; if it conscrpt the wealth of citizens for the main tenance of the war, (and it do and has done these thngs) can surely require the cooperation of every household the land to assist in conserving the food supply.
 It will be better to cooperate eheerfry for there must be cooperation, voluntary or enforced To fuse to sign pledge card have the effect only of attracting a suspicion of disloyalty
