Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Inerenae In W eight Ten l'ounds or More
\ I'li.vNlcinn'M Advice
"I'd certainly give mostr anything; to
l>e able to fat up a few pounds and stay
that way," declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such a result is
not impossible, despite past failures.
Thin people are victims of mal-nutri
tion, a condition which prevents the
fatty elements of food from being: taken
up by the blood as they are when the
powers of nutrition are normal. In
stead of getting into the blood, .ill the
fit and ,tlesh producing: elements stay
in tlio intestines until they pass from
the body as waste.
To correct this CQQilition and pro
duce a healthy, normal ambunt of fat
the nutritive processes must be arti
ficially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can best
l». accomplished by eating a Sargol tab
let with every meal. Sargol Is a scien
tific combination of six of the best
strength-giving, fat-producing: elements
known to the medical profession. Taken
with meals, it mixes with the food and
turns the sugars and starches into rich,
ripe nourishment for the tissues and
blood and its rapid clTect is remark
able. Reported gains from ten to
twenty-five pounds in a. single month
are by no means infrequent. Vet its
action is perfectly natural and abso
lutely harmless. Sargol Is sold by
licnrse A. Gorgas and other good drug
gists everywhere and every package
contains a guarantee of weight increase
or money back.
million:—While Sargol has produced
remarkable 'results in the treatment of
nervous indigestion and general stom
ach disorders, it should not. owing to
its remarkable flesh producing effect,
be used by those who are not willing
to Increase their wei<rht ten pounds or
more.—advertisement.

TUESDAY EVENING,
ACTIVITIES IN THE
FOUR-YEAR TERMS FOR
ALL CITY COWMEN
Senator Clark Introduces Long List
of Amendments to Third Class
City Act
Senator Clark, of Krie, author of the
law under which Harrisburg and other
third-class cities are now operating,
introduced in the Senate last night, a
long series of amendments to the
measure. The most important is one
that if adopted would change the
terms of council men from two years,
as at present, to four years. In the
statement that Senator Clark issued
explanatory of iiis amendments, he
says with respect to this feature of the
bill:
"It Is provided that the mayor and
members of the council shall serve for
a term of four years from the first
Monday in January next succeeding
their respective elections and shall
each be eligible to re-election and all
j mayors elected in 1911 to serve until
[the first Monday of January, 1916, and
ail other mayors and councilmen now
in ottice to serve for the terms for
which they were elected.
"At the first municipal election held
after the passage of the amendment!
the qualified electors of each city of I
the third-class shall elect four mem
bers of the city council, the two receiv
ing the highest number of votes to
serve for four years and the other two
for the term of two years and two
councilmen to be elected at large
thereafter biennially."
iloinc Rule
■ Another noticeable amendment gives
to each third class city "the exercise
of full and complete powers of local
self-government."
By one of them, when a city is en
larged by taking in territory from a
town, township or borough the law
is changed so that indebtedness of the j
annexed territory and the city con-i
traded prior to annexation shall be I
paid by the enlarged city and the!
"taxes uniform throughout the terri-1
torial limits of the whole city" and the
levying' of separate rates of taxation I
prohibited.
A radical change in the Wallace act
of 1 874, and the act of June 27, 1913, j
as set forth in Article 4, Section 5, j
provides: Article IV, Section 5, is toj
bo amended as follows:
"Council shall, by ordinance, pro- j
vide for and regulate the award of allj
contracts, the manner of hiring and j
discharge of employes and laborers,
and for the fixing of their salaries or
compensation when not already fixed
by ordinance, the purchase of all nec
essary materials and supplies, and the
sale of personal property."
The present law provides that print
ing, advertising and work to be done,
etc.. shall be performed under con
tract to the lowest responsible bidder; j
this is stricken out.
The law relating to bribery as found i
in Article IV, Section 8 of the 1913)
act, is limited to members of council i
and the proposed change enlarges it I
so as to include "other city otfleer or j
employe."
License Taxes
Article A', Section 4. of 1913 act au
thorizing cities to levy and collect a
license tax is enlarged and includes
"pawnbrokers, trading stamp or prem
ium companies or dealers, ware-
Houses or storage houses or • places,
wholesale meat dealers, garages and
provision made that the tax assessed
"shall be in addition to all other
taxes levied or collected by the city,
county or Commonwealth."
I'nder the law aft it now is. council
must provide for an equitable reduc
tion in the amount to be assessed for
an improvement against a lot, that is
peculiar or pointed in shape an
amendment is provided to make this
discretionary with councils.
It is proposed by an amendment to
enlarge the corporate powers of a
municipality by authorizing, in addi
tion to what is already provided, the
arrest and commitment "of suspicious!
persons found in any part of the city!
who can give no personal account of
themselves."
City Sealer of Weights
It is also proposed that councils
shall elect or appoint a "sealer or in
spector of weights and measures, pre
scribe his term, compensation and du
ties, who shall when elected or ap- 1
pointed and qualified, have all the
| powers and perform all the duties
which may have been conferred and
imposed upon a sealer or inspector of
weights and measures under and by
virtue of the laws of this Common
wealth."
And any city exercising fMs right
"no other inspector shall be appointed
or elected within such city under any
law or act of assembly for the inspec
tion of weights and measures."
I It is further proposed to add to
the corporate powers the authority to
"provide and enforce general market
regulations and to contract, maintain
and manage muncipai boathouses
and bathhouses, to purchase play
grounds. to regulate and control the
production and emission of smoke
from any chimney, locomotive,
smoke stack or other source."
Sentence Intended
An amendment would extend the
rate of commitment now thirty days
for a dissolute or disorderly person to
ninety days. A provision of existing
law which has caused some controver
sy with reference to the control of
the police force by the mayor or by
council has been amended to read as
follows: "The mayor shall exercise a
constant supervision and control over
their conduct and hear and determine
all complaints against them In the
discharge of their duties" and there is
added the following: "And upon find
ing any such complaint well founded
shall submit his report of all to coun
cilmen for its action and in the mean
time, pending action of the council,
the mayor shall have the power to
suspend such policemen from duty
without pay."
The controller's report to council
instead of being made In January is
fixed at March and a detailed state
ment of receipts, expenditures and
liabilities, instead of being presented in
January shall be presented in Decem
ber; and to the present power of su
perintendent of finance there is pro
posed to add the following: "The su
perintendents of accounts and finance
shall have authority to administer
oaths, or affirmations, in relation to
any matter touching the authentiflca
tion of every account with, or claim
or demand against the city, but shall
not be entitled to receive any fee
therefor. He shall also have power
to appoint a deputy who shall also
have power to administer oaths or
affirmations in all matters relating to
the affairs of said office, but the said
superintendent shall, in all cases be
responsible and liable for the actions
and conduct of the said deputy."
It Is proposed to extend the term of
the city solicitor to four instead of two
years, and likewise of the city engi
neer and also the city clerks.

COLD STORAGE AND
CHILD LABOR BILLS
Uniform State Laws Commission
Measure in; Phipps Has
Supplementary Act
Several important bills were intro
duced in the Senate at Inst night's ses
• sion. Including the cold storage bill
I prepared by the commission on uni
! form state laws, presented by Sen
iator Buckiiian. of Bucks, by request of
the commission. The members of the
commission are Walter George Smith,
Philadelphia: W. M. Hargest, Deputy
j Attorney General, and Judge W. H.
I Staake. Philadelphia.
The bill makes it unlawful to keep
in cold storage warehouses any ar
ticle of food which has been held in
cold storage either within or without
the state for a longer aggregate period
| than twelve months, except with the
consent of the Dairy and Food Com
! missioner. The commissioner upon
application during the twelfth month
may extend the period of storage be
yond twelve months for any particular
article of food provided It is found to
be in proper condition for further cold
storage. The entire extended period
shall not be more than 120 days. At
present eggs may be stored for eight
months and butter for nine months,
and this bill extends the time so as to
conform with the laws of other states,
it is said.
The proposed act provides for licens
ing storage places, for sanitary inspec
tion, and requires accurate records
kept for foods received and with
drawn. Monthly reports are to be
filed showing the kinds of foods in the
warehouses.
Articles of food for human con
sumption which are diseased or taint
ed shall not be stored, and food for
use other than for human consump
tion shall not be placed in storage I
unless plainly marked that It is not
to be used as human food. All food
must be plainly marked, stamped or
tagged at the date when placed in j
storage and must also be dated when
withdrawn. ,
The bill makes it compulsory that
all cold storage food kept thirty days
or more shall be marked "cold stor
age goods," and it shall be unlawful to
represent or advertise cold storage
food as fresh food.
The penalties for violation of the
act are fines not exceeding sf>ol) and
for the second or any subsequent of
fense tines not exceeding SI,OOO or
imprisonment of not more than six
months, or both fines and imprison
ment.
The bill defines articles of food as
meaning fresh meat and fresh meat j
products and all fresh food fish, game,
poultry, eggs and butter.
New Clilld labor BUI
A new child labor bill was presented
by Senator Phipps providing for em
ployment certificates. The measure is
supplementary to the child labor bill
introduced by Mr. Phipps last week.
It provides for the issuance of two
kinds of employment certificates, gen
eral and vacation. The general cer
tificate permits a child fourteen to six
teen years old to work the entire year.
The vacation certificate entitles a
child twelve to sixteen to work on
salaries and in vacation periods for
such hours and in such occupations as
may be designated by the State De
partment of Labor and Industry.
The bill provides that before a child
can receive an employment certificate
It must have a statement from the j
employer agreeing to give work, stat
ing the nature of the work, before the
certificate is Issued. A child must
have completed a course of studv
equivalent to the sixth grade of the
public schools. The child must also
have a certificate of physical fitness
signed by a physician appointed by the
school directors. The hill provides
that the employment certificate when
issued shall be mailed to the prospect
ive employer, and when the child
leaves the position it is to be mailed
to the officers who issue it.

HABGOQD WINS IN
ADVERTISEMENT WAR
House Accepts His Amendments
by a Decisive Majority Against
Powell Plan
Representative Robert P. Habgood,
fighting for the newspapers whose ad- I
vertising bills have been held up by |
Auditor General Powell, won a notable)
victory in the House of Representa-1
tivcs last night and defeated a well- I
planned campaign .to enable the |
Auditor General to continue his tac-1
tics. The House was with him and .
after a prolonged debate accepted his
amendments by the decisive vote of
146 to 45. These amendments were!
to the McCaig bill, carrying $46,040.80 j
to meet the deficiency in the funds for |
payment of cost of advertising consti
tutional amendments In 19X2, 1913 ;
and 1914, which establish a procedure!
in making settlements. The amend- j
inents, which were offered by Mr,
Habgood, McKean, provided that the I
Auditor General shall pay the bills on
the same rate he has paid for other
State advertising sent from other de
partments since June 1, 1913, or In the
case of newspapers not having State
advertisements from other State de
partments under his administration,
then at the rate that was paid In 1909,
1910 or 1911. The Auditor General
and State Treasurer are directed to
pay within twenty days after approval
ol' the act.
Mr. Habgood followed up his victory
by presenting a bill which requires
newspapers to file their prices at the
Capitol before any State advertising
of any kind is given to them and pro
hibits State officials from giving ad
vertisements to those who do not.
Boiled down, the speeches of Mr.
Habgood in the debate were that Mr.
Powell had not been fair and he
had paid the Philadelphia North
American in full and had held up
other papers and that the North
American In denouncing other papers
and giving a list of bills had not in
cluded its own as one which had been
cut. He said that the Auditor General
had paid papers for advertising other
than thsit for constitutional amend
ments at the same rate which he has
refused to pay for amendment adver
tising and that the State was refusing
to pay 100 cents on the dollar. Mr.
"Wilson, Philadelphia, tried to stem
the tide against Powell's methods and
got from Mr. Habgood the retort that
the newspapers were not asking any
thing unfair, but a square deal. Mr.
Wilson declared it an outrage and an
effort to tie the hands of the Auditor
General. Mr. Raldwin, Delaware,
backed up Mr. Habgood. saying the
amendment was not unfair at all and
remarking that the Auditor General
had been in controversy with depart
ment chiefs and citizens about bills
and had been told by the courts what
he must do and what he could not do.
He called attention to the payment for
other advertising and said that bills
should be paid if fair. He advocated
passing the amendment so that all
could read it. Mr. Wilson, he said,
was unduly alarmed.
Mr. Williams asked why. newspapers
had not appealed to court or asked
right to sue. to which Mr. Habgood
rejoined that it would mean 300 suits
and that Mr. Powell had not been fair
because he had not followed the prece
dents of Messrs. Young and Sisson, his
predecessors in the office. The news
papers, he said, were not trying to
mulct anyone.
"The last House got a bill from the
Secretary of the Commonwealth to
limit this advertising to two papers
in a county, but it never got out of
committee," said he. "The last Legis
lature had a chance to say what it
wanted done and that is what it did.
Mr. Habgood charged that the North
American was paid $1,560 and its bill
not cut a dollar, but that other papers
were held up. This made a big im
pression in the House. Mr. Habgood
said members were either under a mis
understanding or improper inspiration.
Replying to Mr. Spangler. York,
who butted in for a moment, Mr. Hab
good said that the purposes of the
Auditor General were, beyond him and
that he had lain awake nights trying
to fathom Powell's ideas, but gave it
up. Once he. said he had no money,
but he personally understood SIB,OOO
was available.
H. T. Wilson deplored absence of
contracts and the general inlxup, to
which Air. Habgood replied there was
no mixun, but gave the idea that there
had been a holdup. Mr. Wilson then
tried to have the matter recommitted
and Chairman Woodward, of the ap
propriations committee, replied that
there was no occasion to recommit at
all. The bill, he said, provided funds,
and it Is up to the Auditor General.
The House refused to recommit and
after a colloquy between Baldwin and
W. H. Wilson, in which the Delaware
man answered in his own way to the
amusement of the members and the
galleries. Finally Wilson laughed him
self andigave it up.
Mr. Baldwin called attention to the
procedure in preceding administra
tions in the Auditor General's office
and the House adopted llabgood's
amendments and passed the hill on
second reading.

It's Cheaper to Smoke
Moja 10c Cigars |
i
<f Because an all Havana cigar has the j
"body" and the other essentials thfct
make a full, satisfying aroma. One MOJA
at 10c will positively give more down

of nickel cigars. Smoke several
Mojas a day and you'll break away from
the habit of "smoking like a chimney."

WOMAN'S EVIDENCE
UPHOLDS CLK
Says: "I Wish All Nervous, 4
Weak, Rundown Women
Could Have Vinol, It Did
So Much For Me
Beallsville, Ohio. —"Vinol has done
so much for me I wish all nervous,
weak, rundown women could have It.
I was so rundown, weak and nervous
T could not sleep nights. Everything
I ate hurt me, and the medicine I had
taken did me no good. I saw Vinol
advertised and decided to try it. T
had not taken it long before 1 could
eat anything I wanted without hurt
ing me, and l could sleep all night.
Now I am well and strong, and in
better health than I have been for
years. 1 never spent money for medi
cine that did me so much good as
that 1 spent for Vinol."—Mrs. Anna
Milllson, Bealsvillc, Ohio.
If the careworn, tired, overworked
women, the pale, sickly children and
feeble old folks around here would fol
low Mrs. Millison's example, they, too,
would soon be able to say that Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron rem
edy, had built them up and made
them strong.
It is the combined action of the
medicinal curative elements of tho
cod's liver, without oil. aided by the
blood-making and strength-creating
properties of tonic iron, that makes
Vinol so successful in .such cases.

Importance of Eliminating Acidity
and Food Fermentation
During the past two or three years
reports have frequently appeared in the
Press concerning the remarkable value
of bisurated magnesia as an antacid;
and its ability to promote normal,
healthv digestion by preventing food
fermentation and neutralizing danger
ous stomach acid has often been dem
onstrated. I'nty recently druggists
could supply bisurated magnesia in
powder form only, from one to two
teaspoon fulls of wiiich, taken in a little
water after meals, almost instantly
stops all fermentation and neutralizes
acid. but sufferers from stomach
trouble will be glad to learn that, after
la long series of experiments, a leading
I tirm of manufacturing druggists has
I now succeeded in producing a 5 grain
tablet which combines all the valuable
antacid properties of the ordinary
! bisurated magnesia in a very conveni-
I ent form. This new tablet of bisurated
magnesia can now be obtained of drug
gists everywhere and many physicians
are already prescribing them instead
| of the powder form.—Advertisement.
