THIN MEN AND WOMEN
Do You Want to Get Fat and Strong?

Do You Want to Get Fat and Strong?
The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stut!ing it with greasy foods, rubbing
on useless "fesh creams" or following
some foolish physical culture stunt,
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract properly assin.i-
lates the food you eat Drink a glass
of cold water four or five times a day
and take the following preparation
known to reliable druggists almost
everywhere, which seemingly embodies
the missing elements needed by the di-
gestlve organs to help them convert
food into rich, fat-laden blood. This
preparation is called tonolinc, and
much remarkable testimony is given
as to its successful use in flesh build
ing. Tonoline which comes in the form
of small non-injurious tablet, taken
at meals and mixed with the digcstinr
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. You can readily picture the
transformation that additional and
previously lacking flesh making ma
terial should bring to your cheeks, fill
ing out hollows about your neck, sh l.
ders and bust disappearing, and your
taking on from IA to 80 pounds of
solid healthy flesh. Tonoline is harm
less. inexpensive, efficient. Gly.nph's
Pharmacy has it and is authorized to
refund your money if weight increase
is not obtained as per the guarantee
found in each large package
Caution:-Tonoline is recommended
only as flesh builder and while ex
cellent results in cases of nervous in
lgestion, ETC., have been reported care
should be taken about using it unless
a gain of weight is desired. 1O-3

Keeps Her Children
In Perfect Health
DIR. CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin tn
Family Laxative for Many
Years

Mrs. Aug. Doellefeld of Carlyle, Ill.,
recently wrote to DR.. Caldwell, at Mon
ticello, ILL.,, that she has used DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in her home for a
number of years, and would not be
without it, as with it she has been able
to keep her four children in perfect
health.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is -
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that acts on the bowels in
an easy, natural way, and regulates
the action OF this most important
function. Nearly all the sickness to
which children are subject is traceablc
to bowel inaction, and a mild, depend
able laxative, such as DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin should have a place in
every family medicine chest. 1t is
pleasant to the taste and children like
it, and take it readily, while it is
equally effective for adults.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
in drug stores everywhere for fifty
cents bottle. To avoid limitations and

that the matter should have been

warm and patriotic approval voiced by

THE MODERN JAIL.

We've made our Jail so snug and
warm. impervious to cold and storm,
that Richard Roe is glad to dwell
all winter In his cozy cell. We've
cleaned the walls and scrubbed the
floors, and whitewashed ceilings, bars
and doors. till sanitation cranks de-
clare there arc no harmful microbes
there. The jail's inspected now and
then by uplift danes and faddish men,
who analyze the forks and spoons and
push their noses in the prunes. The
parsons there distribute tracts, and
scientists take useful facts; we all
take books and magazines. and floral
wreaths and kindred greens, and try
TO make the village jug more cheerful
still, and still mbre snug. And from
the window Richard Roe looks out
upon the drifting snow. and sees
the poor Unlucky jays, who have not
drawn their sixty days. by weary cf-
forts strive to earn some grub TO cal,

SWAT FAKE RUMoRS

This is a time when we should all
strive to keep not only civil but a
cautious tongue. The temper Of the
public is peculiarly sensitive to irri-
tating rumors, and loose and incon-
siderate tongue is liable to start
something more perilous than the
truth which is oppressive enough
without fakes and fables being added
TO distort il. Just how the foolish re-
port Of President Wilson's assassina-
ton started yesterday we don't know,
but we do know that The Intelligen-
Ger telephone was in almost conunu-
Gus use for several hours BY alright
ed inquiries for details. False rumors
about the solyency Of banks have
been known to ruin them. The idle
suggestion Of what might happen is
perhaps overheard by some thought
less person and is taken up as an actu-
atty, and the damage IS done.
In the very nature Of the present
complicated situation there will be
manv fakes and false rumors to con-
tend with, and it is a season to en-
join upon everybody to preserve a
level head and an enlightened skepti-
cism in regard to all stories which at
tribute irreconcilablc actions or
speech to any class of citizens.

THE BEST CENSORSHIP

In another column will be found a
sensible statement from the New York
Sun on the evil spirit in the film.
and some very pat reflections on the
future of the moving picture industry.
The very fact that the public is turn
ing its back on indecent and sugges-
tive screen productions indicates that
the most efficient censorship which
could be devised is working. Any Of
fetal meddling with that spirit is
more likely to spill the beans than i'm
prove conditions. The National Board
of Review is cooperating intelligently
with the public conscience, and 1t is a
greater agency for securing an I'M
prorement in pictures than forcing a
moral viewpoint on the people.
With regard to the proposition be,
fore the legislature for a State Board
of Censors for this State The lntelli,
gencer agrees with the Huntington
Herald-Dispatch when it says:
We cheerfully admit that there Is
still much that is Objectionable in some
of the pictures shown in the United
states. and thar some OF this objection
able stuff finds its way into West Viz
giuia But it will be found that West
Virginia Board Of Censors. II we shall
have one. will not improve the situ-
aticn. because they will be Just as hui
man. just AS frail. just as liberal as
tho Ohio or Pennsylvania or Maryland
or any other board that passes upon the
production VIC now have. The standard
OF motion pictures is going to be raised
to the level of prevailing moral senti-
ment in the United states. and that
soon. And this will happen because
IL is to the economic advantage Of the
makers. and exhibitors to bring the pic
lures up to that level. Indeed. It would
be disastrous for them TO take any
other stand.

absolutely. The other day Senator
Sherman OF Illinois Introduced a reso-
luton asking the appointment of a
committee to investigate these condi-
tions. Senator Smith, of Michigan
made some pointed remarks, on the
resolution. calling attention to the
fact that his State casts more than
twice as many votes as Texas does.
that Texas has eighteen Congressman
10 Michigan'S thirteen and twenty
electoral votes TO Michigan's fifteen.
that Texas pays about one-fourth as
much internal revenue tax as Michl'
gan does, and that Michigan is favor
ed BY Congressional appropriations
with about three million dollars while
Texas takes more than five millions.
1t was Senator MARITIME, of New
jersey. who took up the cue at this
point, and rose above party restric-
lions and openly agreed with Senator
Smiths line OF reasoning. adding that
New Jersey also suffered from this
condition OF things, to point. he de-
clared, where a voter in Georgia had
a voice in the government equal TO
that of four voters in New Jersey. ut
may be-" he said, that he is four
times as valuable, but the people OF
New Jersey would not believe it." The
conditions, continued the New Jersey
Senator, seem utterly ineQuitable and
utterly unfair. Whatever may be the
cause, the result is the same; and |
should like to join with the Senator
from Michigan. whether he is a Re-
publican or Democrat, l do not care
so much on a question Of this kind. in
seeing a little more equitable admin
istration Of those affairs" You can
not belittle the character Of any sup
port II it is conscientiously given, as
it Is in this case. Nor does the retire
ment Of Senator MARITIME from the
Senate on March 4, weaken his state
ment. for he tells the truth. Surely
there must be other Democrats who
are as manly as Senator MARITIME has
proved himself to be.

representatives OF the people. the
dismissal OF Trepoff, and the appoint

we're regarded within and without
Russia as a distinct setback for the
cause OF liberalism in the empire.
This first impression has been con-
firmed by subsequent events. The
reassembling of the duma has again
been postponed, and there are fears
In liberal quarters in Russia that the
postponcment Is the forerunner OF an
Indefinite exclusion of the duma from
participation in government.
Such an Intention on the part OF the
cabinet has been limited al in the an
nouncement by Prince Golitzine that
the vital aim Of Russia is the winning
of the war, and that all other QueS-
lions will have to wait upon the at
tainment of that object. And among
the questions which will have to wait
upon the successful termination Of the
war is the question OF direct minis
terial responsibility to the people, as
Represented by the duma.
The seriousness Of the Internal sit
uation In Russia from the entente
point Of view was recognized last
week by the holding of an entente
council in Petrograd in an attempt 10
find a solution for the pressing prob
lens that confront the Russian gov
eminent. There appears to be a
growing sense at London. Paris and
Rome. of slackness in the Russian
military machine. of failure to do
what was expected Of it for the adj
vancement Of the common cause.
One Of the aims Of this conference
appears to have been the harmonl3a-
ton of the conflicting tendencies in
Russian life and the discovery Of a
basis for united action against the
entente. How much of success has
been achieved by the conference re-
mains to be seen.
But it Is evident that an important
perhaps a vital-problem confronts
the entente as whole in Russia-a
country torn by dissensions and by
social and military disorganlzation at
a time when the verdict of history is
about to be written on the great strug.

If Russia fails TO come up to the
expectations of her allies il will be
