This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction. If every way you've tried to put on weight has failed try these simple di rections. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those a single Sargol tab let. In two weeks note your weight. Sargol does not of itself make fat but mixing with your food its purpose is to help the digestive organs turn the fats, sugars and starches of what you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat producing nourishment for the tissues and blood— prepare it in an easily assimilated form which the hlood can readily accept.

HEADQUARTERS FOR SHIRTS SIDES & SIDES V Try Telegraph Want Ads ; TUESDAY EVENING, QUESTION OF RIGHTS BROUGHT UP BY FIGHT Duties and Powers of Controllers Placed at Issue by Cambria County Broil Johnstown, Pa., Aug. 2 4.—Cambria county's courthouse fight has landed In the State Supreme Court in such shape that the duties and powers of controllers of all counties of 150,000 population, and perhaps of all other controllers, are at issue. Justice Frazer, of the Supreme Court, has granted George M. Werti, controller of Cambria, a supersedeas in his ap peal from a decree of peremptory mandamus issued by Judges Stephens and O'Connor, so that the chief official opponent of the courthouse scheme will not have to advertise immediately for bids, and the law in the case will be determined by the Supreme Court at the Pittsburgh session during the last week of September, one week alter the Fall primaries. Justice Frazer, in granting the su persedeas, says there can be no harm in the delay, especially as the Cambria courts have had more than a year to act, and he states that the questions involved are new and have never been passed upon by either of the appellate courts. This makes the case of inter est in every county that has a con troller or that may in the future be entitled to one. Refuses to Advertise Controller Wertz, in refusing to ad vertise for many reasons, relied upon the section of the controller act of 1896 which says he shall advertise "if he approve the purpose." The logic of the Cambria court, embodied in the mandamus writ issued without notice to the controller, and without hearing him, is that because several grand juries recommended sundry court house improvements, including lino leum floors for jurj rooms, better toilet facilities and ventilation, benches in the lobby, additional lights and filing cases and vaults, the commissioners have discretion only as to the extent and character of the improvements and must proceed to improve. The commissioners hired J. Riley Gordon, a New York architect, on a 6 per cent, contract; adopted a resolution "appro priating 1300,000 which is not In the treasury or otherwise provided for," and then adopted and approved Gor don's plans for three semicircular wings to be added to the present courthouse, which is brick and twenty five years old. An "advisory board" appointed by the court also approved the plans, as did the court. No pre liminary estimate of cost has even been given out. The county now owes about *200,000, although the tax rate was recently raised on a trebled valuation, and the order on the controller to advertise is on the whole three-wing job and on each of the three proposed wings separately. The specifications are on base bids with innumerable alternates and sub stitutions, so that while contractors say the work may possibly be done for $300,000 on the cheapest speci fications, there are wide possibilities for expenditures ranging all the way from $500,000 to $2,000,000. The contention of the commission ers. advisers and Judges is that it is impossible to tell what the "additions" are to cost until the bids are opened. They attempted to force the opening j of bids before the primaries in order to kill the political effect of charges j by some candidates that the plans and ' specifications are too vague and that the taxpayers are entitled to *know more before a contract is let. The con troller is fighting to save his dis cretionary powers and claiming that it they are wiped out by judicial inter pretation of the law the office of con j troller, paying $4,000 a year, will be almost useless to the people. Candidates in Fight As to the courthouse needs, the Cf.mbrla Grange and the Johnstown Chamber of Commerce appointed strong committees, which admit, as the I controller does, that some improve ments are necessary, but unite in con i demning the Gordon plans and speci fications as vague, indefinite and ex travagant. Some want slight repairs and improvements now and an entirely new courthouse later. Some insist j that a new courthouse is needed now : and that the Gordon plans suggest "building a barrel around the bung ! hole." The issue is reviving the ! cl?mor for a new bounty, Ebensburg, the county seat, being eighteen miles away from Johnstown, the center of a | population of 100,000 and the source of most of the courthouse business. ; All candidates for county offices, par ticularly for controller and county commissioner, are being dragged into i the fight. i The supersedeas granted bv Justice i Frazer has been hailed as a big victorv | for the controller and iMr. TVertz is receiving many inquiries from con trollers in other counties concerning the status of the fight.

COLONIAL OPENS TO CROWDED HOUSES With a Film of Exceptional Merit the Neweit Motion Picture House Opened Yesterday Few stories lend themselves to pic tnrization for motion pictures as well as "The Chalice of Courage," the book by Cyrus Townsend Brady, produced as the five-reel Vitagraph opening headliner for the new Colonial The ater yesterday and to-day. A plot, consistent and well developed, of' the real human type, holds the interest of the film's viewers to the very last pic ture. And, picturesquely produced in the Rocky Mountains, the film is a marvel of scenic beauty.* The diffi culty that so often obtains In picturing tht stories of books is that of having as a result a plot that is jumpy and somewhat disconnected. This, for tunately, and to the delight of the audience, in "The Chalice of Cour age" is entirely absent, and is but one of the features that makes up the complete sense of satisfaction with which the film is seen. More noteworthy than the film which was shown last night is the theater in which It is shown, for with out doubt there has been no effori spared to produce a motion picture theater that would stand as a house Individual In character and appoint ments. Aside from the interior deco ration which the public has become accustomed to find in theaters the owners and operators of the Colonial have incorporated features which strike the eye as being most distinct ive. The Japanese pagoda effect built upon the stage and in which the screen Is built produces at once an effect that is most novel and pleasing. Particularly in tha tthe lighting from the setting does not In any way affect the pictures. An indirect lighting sys em does away with the annoyance of having to find seats in a dark house. Everything combines to give to the public a motion picture house of com fort and tone. The pipe organ from the house of Moller is in the hands of Herman HABHISBURG tgSfj&b TELEGRAPH Yeager., conductor of'the former Or pheum orchestra. Aside from music appropriate to the films being shown. Mr. Yeager is rendering programs of the better class of music. Keen ap preciation of this step In motion pic ture was shown last night by the audi ence's applause. MAX ROBERTSON. PAXTANG PARK VAUDEVILLE Last evening's performance at the Paxtang Park theater clearly showed that Manager Davis intends to main tain the high standard he set for pop ular priced shows at his park play house several weeks ago. Klein. Abe and Nlchelson are the feature act of the bill and they had no difficulty in demonstrating to the park audience that they were genuine headline material. The trio presents a comedy musical act of extraordinary merit. They succeed in turning ear splitlng discords into laughable com edy and then repay, the fastidious music-lover for the offense with some real harmony. Drawee Frisco Hambo presents an original comedy sketch entitled "Fun DOG LOVERS, ATTENTION! ee t * le Beautiful Oil Paintings wWpSgm of Famous American Dogs 4*2Hw Now Being Exhibited By -s*steii*3@ffl*GoßGAS, The Druggist You Can Secure One of These Paintings CDPr FOR TEX GUARANTEE SEALS TAKEN* FROM ■ PACKAGES OF VERM I LAX SUPREME DOG REMEDIES (DR.

Hambo is really a clever juggler, but he has 'gotten away from the stereotyped jug gling act in an altogether pleasing manner by making his work the fea ture of an excellent farce comedy. He has actually succeeded in putting something new into vaudeville. Jack Polk offers an exceptionally funny monologue; Olivette, the dancing vio linist, captivates her audience with tuneful music and a wonderful pair of ejes. while Bissett and Wilson intro duce a clfever singing and dancing offering. There will be another grand fire works display at the park on Thurs day evening. Park fireworks have made so great a hit with park patrons that they need no description. The strip tickets for the big bargain day on Wednesday. September 1, are beginning to sell fast and a big day at Paxtang may be looked for on that date.—Advertisement.
