One of the principal reasons why people are thin and scrawny and unattractive - why they are weak and lacking ambition and pep" and nerve force Is simply this: The food they eat is lacking in the vital elements needed to put on solid, healthy flesh.
 If you would gain weight - not merely fabby fat, but fine. firm flesh that fills up hollows in the neck and face and rounds out graceful arms, do as Miss Rogers did. Read what she says in grateful testimony:

IMMERSION PROBE
 IS NEAR AN END
Protests Heard Against Secrecy
 in Hearings ,<,

Los Angeles, July Is P-The closing chapters in the Aimee Sem pie McPherson Kidnapping case was expected to be reached today when the Los Angeles county grand jury resumed it's investigation.
 District Attorney Asa Keys has announced that unless Kenneth G. Ormiston. former radio operator at Angelus Temple and friend of the evangelist, for whom a wide search is being made, is located today, all available witnesses will have been heard before the days sessions are ended.
 The outcome of the grand jury inquiry is said to hinge upon the testimony of Milton Carlson. hand writing expert, who was scheduled to give expert evidence regarding the identity of the sender of a tele- gram from Oakland, Calif., on May q and addressed to Angelus Temple. The message, which the evangelists mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy has admitted receiving, stated that her daughter was alive three days after she was supposed to have drowned at Ocean Park. Carlson after mi croscopic examination of the origi- nal telegram declared that the hand writing closely resembled that of Ormiston.
 AS result of Carlson's partial identification of the sender, McPherson probably will be recalled before the grand jurors, it was intt- mated by Keys.
 From her pulpit in Angelus Tenn pie Mrs. McPherson last night an- nounced that she would pay no fur ther heed to the tangled reports" concerning her Kidnapping story which continue to reach her.
 Protests Secrecy
 The Rev. R. P. Shuler, pastor of Trinity Methodist church and a re- form leader here, today addressed a letter to Judge Keetch of the su- preme court protesting against what the minister termed 'muzzling" of the county grand jury in it's investi- gation of Aimee Semple McPherson's disappearance and reappearance mystery.
 Mir. Shuler's letter followed the judges declaration prohibiting the grand jury from announcing its flnd- ings unless 1t returned an indictment in the charge made by Mrs. McPher- son that she had been kidnapped May IS at the beach and held in two shacks in Mexico until June 22 when she escaped and reached Douglas. Ariz., June 2S.
 The clergyman asserted that If Mrs. McPherson's story was true she was entitled to vindication but that if it were not true the public was entitled to know the facts.
 Although District Attorney Asa L. Keyes said that he hoped to com- plete taking of testimony before the grand jury, today, he declared the inquiry will not close until he feels satisfied he has learned all he can of the crime Mrs. McPherson says was committed against her"
 He intimated additional testimony would be introduced from Douglas Ariz., and Mexican officials before whom Mrs. McPherson appeared in an exhausted condition and told story of abduction and imprlson- ment in a shack near the Mexican ! border.
