What Thin Folks Should
Do T© Gain Weight
XJood Advice For Thin, Undeveloped
Men and W omen
Thousands of people suffer from ex
cessive thinness, weak nerves and
stomachs who, having tried ad
v-MNtlsed flesh-makers, food-lads, physi
*4l culture stunts and rub-on creams,
/esign themselves to life-long skinni
\e6s and think nothinj will make them
Xat. Yet their case is not hopeless. A
recently discovered combination of as
similative agents has made fat grow
If/ter years of thinnes?, and it is also
Ljaequulled, judging from-reports, for
the waste of sickness or
faulty dieestion and fcr strengthening
the serves. This remarkable prepara
tion is called Sargol. Six strength-
Siving, fat-producing tssimilative ele
ments of acknowledged merit have been
combined in this prepa-ation. which is
endorsed and used by p ominent people
everywhere. It is absolutely harmless,
inexpensive and efflciert.
A few weeks' systematic use of Sar
gol should go far to pnduce flesh and
strength by correcting faults of diges
tion and by supplying lourishing fats
to the blood, if not, tvery druggist
who sells it is authorize* to return the
■purchase price. Increase! nourishment
is obtained from the food eaten, and
the additional fats that thin people
need are thus provided. G. A. Gorgas
and other leading druggies supply Sar
-80l and say there is a Large demand
for it.
While this new preparation has from
reports given splendid results as »
nerve-tonic and vitalizer. its use is not
recommended to nervous people unless
they wish to gain at least ten pounds
of flesh.—Advertisement.

The Housewife Is Charged by the

bility for His Use of Sulphurous

While the dried fruit industry has
been engaged in the production of
hundreds of tons of beautiful apri
cots, peaches, pears, apples, ruby
prunes, and Sultana raisins, which the
Fruit Growers' Association gather up
from well-cultivated orchards to send
to sulphur plants, one depart
ment of the federal government, the
Bureau of Chemistry, was for a while
engaged in fighting the abuse, while
another department, the office of the
solicitor of the Department of Agricul
ture, was busy protecting the industry.
Lcnc before Dr. Olsen began to
look into the conduct of sulphurous
acid when introduced into the human
body with bleached and preserved
food, the Bureau of Chemistry,
through the Inspiration of Dr. Wiley,
had spent thousands of dollars in this
direction.
Circular No. S7, issued by the De
partment of Agriculture Nov. 22,
1907, declared:
"The administration of sulphurous
acid In the food produces serious dis
turbances of the metabolic functions.
It adds an immense burden to the
kidneys which cannot result in any
thing but injury. It impoverishes the
blood in respect to the number of red
and white corpuscles, and the admin
istration of a substance which dimin
ishes these important component par
ticles of the blood is in every sense
prejudicial to health."
Four months prior to the publica
tion of Circular No. 37, Dr. Frederick
L. Dunlap and Solicitor George P.
McCabe declared in Food Inspection
Decision No. 76, that "pending inves
ligation of the effects of sulphurous
acid upon the health of the people,
the Department of Agriculture would
institute no action against the man
ufacturers of food and drinks who
employ sulphurous acid as a bleach
ing agent and preservative."
This official utterance was publlsh-
What to Use and Avoid
On Faces that Perspire
Skin, to be healthy, must breathe. It
also must perspire—must expel.
' through the pores, its share of the
body s waste material. Certain creams
and powders clog the pores, interfer
ing both with elimination and breath
ing, especially during the heated
period. If more women understood this
; there would be fewer self-ruined con.-
I plextons. If they would use ordinary
mercolized wax they would have
healthy complexions. This remarkable
substance actually absorbs,a bad skin
also unclogging the pores. Result: The
j fresher, younger under-skin is permit
ted to breathe and to show itself. The
I exquisite new complexion gradually
peeps out, one free from any appear
ance of artificiality. Obtain an ounce
of mercolized wax from vour drun-.
gist and try it. Apply nightly like cola
cream, for a week or two, washing li
off mornings.
To remove wrinkles, here's a marvel
ously effective treatment, which also
acts naturally and harmlessly: Dis
solve an ounce of powdered saxolite in
a half pint witch hazel and use as *
wash lotion.—Advertisement.

Ed July IS, 1907. Yet sulphurous
acid is still in use.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
were taken from the appropriation
established by Congress with which
to enable the Bureau of Chemistry
to prosecute food adulterations. This
money, by a peculiar system of jug
gling, was turned over to the referee
board, which, in all these strangely
silent years, kept Its findings to itself.
In the meantime the housewife who
does not know that sulphurous acid
is present in many roods now pur
chased by her for home use has a
means of knowing the truth, even
though to take advantage of such
means necessitates the exercise of
considerable energy and trouble.
The wholesale container or shipping
case, usually in the form of a wooden
box, in which the chemically treated
fruit is shipped from the sulphur
plants to the wholesale grocer and
delivered by the wholesale grocer to
the retail grocer, is marked with the
word /'sulphured," or with the phrase
"contains 502," or "bleached with
sulphur," or "treated with sulphur
dioxide."
Doubtlessly the housewife, who does
not know that sulphurous acid is em
ployed in food products for the three
fold purpose of preserving them, of
making them look better than they
are and of adding to them large quan
tities of water which can be sold at
food prices, will find it difficult to sud
denly change her attitude toward the
outward characteristics of many foods
with which she is familiar in order
to arrive at some actual knowledge
of the facts.
However, it can be stated as a fun
damental proposition that when the
housewife sacrifices food value for
food ornamentation she is indulging
In perilous extravagance.
When she shells her wheat and
bleaches it to a pure white with
nitrites her finished accomplishment is
no longer flour.
She has sacrificed both the outer
or mineral coat and the middle or
protein coat upon the profitless altar
of beauty.
Sooner or later she must realize
that food that looks fit for the gods
is ill adapted for the nourishment of
mere physical man, who possesses
neither the wings of angels nor the
intelligence of the Deity.
She takes pride in emphasizing the
clearness and transparency of the
drinking water provided for her fam
ily—the flood water that has not been
"contaminated" by Mother Earth; she
does not stop to consider the fact that
the more the water is nursed by
Mother Earth, the more mineral salts
it dissolves, and the higher its refrac
tive index.
The more transparent the drinking
water, the less power it holds for re
plenishing the tissue salts lost through
the urine and feces.
With lofty disdain she refuses to
eat natural brown rice, Insisting that
its nutritious brown coat be polish
ed off so that it will look pretty and
white.
She rejects the nutritious rice pol
ishings, so rich in rtiineral content,
as food fit only for hogs.
The worthless lice starch granules
are good enough for her children. Yet,
when the Philippine Islands had been
devastated by beri-beri her own gov
ernment appreciated the dangers of
the snow-white food so pleasing to the
eye and took radical action against
the abuse.
Ugly brown maple syrup loses its
refinement of taste when it is refined
in color. When it is made as white
as cane sugar or beet sugar it is just
as sweet as cane sugar or beet sugar
but it has lost the characteristic flavor
of the maple just as the granulated
sugar of the modern diningroom has
lost the soul of the cane.
She fails to recognize the fact that
purely ornamental food belongs under
a glass case in the parlor, not upon
the. well-filled board.
She admires the wondrously beau
tiful peacock, but eats the flesh of the
homely turkey.
She insists on chalky white bread, !
I but is not shocked in the presence of
; dusky devil cake.
; The farmer who would not dream i
' of coloring his wheat straw with coal j
tar green so that his cows might think j
■ they were eating grass, asks that hiE
i manufactured jam be colored a pa - I
sionate red with gas house refuse.
The housewife does not know, but
she ought to know, that the farmer j
knows that his butter, saturated with :
annatto or turmeric in a desperate 1
effort to keep up appearances has not i
the unassailable social standing en- ]
Joyed by his own pale, creamy pro-,
duct.
The farmer knows that the brilliant j
yellow does not improve the flavor of
his butter, but on the contrary al
lows every opportunity for fraud.
He knows that the meat of the ox j
when freshly slaughtered is a brown- j
ish red. Yet, he encourages the
butcher to substitute a scarlet hue [
with sulphites as if the poor beast i
had died of coal gas poisoning.
From Brooklyn tons of anhydrous j
sodium sulphite are shipped through-!
out the country to the hamburger
artists of America.
The breast muscles of birds that use !
their wings are dark. White breast I
meat of the chicken is in a lingering I
state of degeneration caused by the j
time-unhonored atrophy of disuse.
Lazy people who sit in rocking j
chairs would not make good stew for
cannibals, although their flesh would j
become paler and paler, whiter and j
whiter the longer they sat before go- I
Ing to the caldron.
Th housewife knows that if a coal |
dealer painted stones black and sold ;
them to her husband as coal her hus- j
band would proclaim the fraud far
and wide and immediately seek the
commissioner of weights and meas
ures or some other official bureau for
aid.
Coal is judged by its heat units,
but food is judged by its personal
appearance.
The housewife who would get to
the bottom of the sulphur bleached
fruits of the market place must be
taught the truth concerning odor and
taste as well as the Ues concerning
"ornament."
As long as she demands that the
wealth of the fields De poisoned with
crafty dyes great chemists will pros
titute their science with deceptive
and cunning tricks.
As long as she demands that pickles
be hardened with alum the same
alum will harden the lining of her
stomach.
As long as she tastes spices with
her eyes ketchup will be flaming red.
As long as she refuses to be shock
ed at the appearance of the homely
brunette prune and the little darky
raisin and the currant of Abyssinian
hue, she cannot defend her clamor
for the bleached blondes of the fruit
world as they now come to her in a
silly parade painted with poison.
The eye is pleased with stained
glass, with gaudy beads, with flash
ing trinkets, but the old-fashioned
sun-dried apple, a rusty brown in
appearance, and the old-fashioned
sun-dried peach and apricot, lacking
in skin beauty, opssess food value of
such tremendous Importance to her
growing children that she should rise
up and cry to the fakers who fool
her with whitewash. "Shame I I will
have no pa, ore of it."
