Thin People Can Increase Weight Thin men and women who would like Vo increase their weight with 10 to 15 pounds of healthy 'stay there" fat should try eating a little Sargol with their meals for a while and note re sults. Here is a good test worth try ing. First weigh yourself and meas ure yourself. Then tak*? Sargol—one tablet with every meal—for two weeks. Then weigh and measure again. It isn't a question of how you look or feel or what your friends say ami think. The scales and the tape measure will tell their own story, and most anv thin man or woman can easly add from five to eight pounds in the first fourteen days by following this simple direction. And best of all. the new flesh stavs put Sargol does not of itself 'make fat but mixing with your food, it turns the fats, sugars and starches of what you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat produc ing nourishment for the tissues and blood prepares it In an oasily assi milated form which the blood can read ily accept. All this nourishment now passes from your body as waste. But Sargol stops the waste and does it quickly and makes the fat producing 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, pleas ant. efficient and Inexpensive. Geo. A.

His Majesty had a cordial greeting for Mr. Gerard and conversed for several minutes with him. The levee was followed by a cus tomary military event, the giving out of the password for the day, which was, as always, "Long life to his Ma jesty." The emperor, attended by his sons and followed by a glittering suite, walked from the castle to the guardhouse near the arsenal, where all the officers in Berlin were assem bled for the ceremony.

The suggestion was offered by a committee of the Municipal League and is similar to the scheme embodied In the "Hardscrabble" ordinance of several years ago, which died ill the lower branch of Councils. "Hardscrabble" is the district lying west of Front street between Calder and Herr. The section of Front street upon which it faces lias never been formally opened. By straightening the highway to conform with the city map. the street would extend directly through the houses in the section in question. Following the adoption of an ordi nance formally opening the street, the city could then apply to the Dauphin County Court for the appointment of viewers to assess damages and benefits that would arise from the suggested improvement. The damages the city would be liable for would probably run into some thousands of dollars. The matter was discussed before Council by Ross a Hlckok, ex-Com mon Councilman, who fathered the original "Hardscrabble" ordinance. In addition to the discussion of the "Hardscrabble" matter, the extension of the park system, the building of the public comfort station and some of the other matters generally covered by the new Improvement loans were referred to by members of the league. The program was mapped out at a meeting of the executive committee to the league held shortly after noon. Among the members of the league present were the following: Ross A. Hlckok, Vance C. McCor mick, J. Horace McFarland, Herman P. Miller, William Jennings, J. Aus tin Brandt and James M. Lamberton. Wants Congress to Change Its Time of Meeting by Amendment Washington, D. C.,« Jan. 27.—Sen ator Shafroth, of Colorado, is pressing the Senate judiciary committee for favorable action on his resolution to amend the Constitution so as to make the date of the convening of Congress the first Monday in January following the election instead of March 4, and to have the term of the President be gin the third Monday in January in stead of March 4. In a statement pre sented to the committee the senator asserted that the proposed change in the date of the opening of Congress would prevent such a situation as arose in the Hayes-Tilden controversy in 1876 by making it Impossible that a House composed in part of members who had not been re-elected should decide the election of a President. Under his plan the newly elected rep resentatives would settle such an issue. Other arguments made by Senator Shafroth in favor of his amendment were that it would abolish the short session: members would come fresh from their campaigns to Congress be fore they had time to forget their pledges to the oeople, and legislation by men who had failed of election would be elimited.
