A'Hessage to Thin
Weak Scrawny Folks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 lbs of
Solid Healthy Permanent Flesh.
Thin nervous undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say "I
can i unaersiana wnyi 1 ao not get fat
I eat Dlenty of sood. nourishing fonil.'
The reason Is Just this: You cannot iret
fat no matter how much you eat unless
your digestive organs assimilate the fat-
making elements of your food Instead of
passing them out through the body as
waste.
What la needed la a means of gently
urging the assimilative functions of the
stomach and Intestines to absorb the
oils and fata and hand them over to the
blood wnere they mayi reach the starved
shrunken run-down tissues and build
them up. The thin person's body Is like
a dry sponge eager and hungry for the
fatty materials of which It Is being de-
prived by the failure of the alimentary
cans) to takt them from the blood. The
bast way to overcome this sinful wast
of flesh building elements and to stop
the leakage of fata la to use SarKbl. tha
recently discovered regenerative force
that la recommended so highly by phy-
sicians here and abroad. Take a little

Tamei .' Ferguson Recommends i
Watchful Waiting? Policy and .
Sayi That Good Timet Are f
- Sue to Follow. '
Good times ahead are prophesied by
James R Ferguson democratic nomine
for governor who spent Wednesday aft
srnoon In Houston on his way. to Temple
from the East Texas fair at Longriew.
A "watchful waiting" policy was recom-
mended by Mr. Ferguson who declared
that If the people will only alt steady at
the present time a period of unprece-
dented prosperity will soon follow.
"The oeoDle must not throw the bulk
of their cotton on tha market" said Mr
Ferguson. "If they will only bold to It
the situation Is clear. The people of Bu-
rope must have It. After all the' war
has not hurt the cotton croD as badly as
some people were apprehensive of and I
oeiieve mat in me long run 101 Disie
will not be hurt by it." .
Speaking of the war and its effect on
the cotton situation Mr. Ferguson said:
"New conditions bring new necessities.
The man In the field needs more clothes
than he would have needed at his home.
In times of peace the people of Germany
France and England could spend the-wln-ter
In their houses snugly and warm
because of their fires. A man In that con-
dition would not have the need for an
overcoat and other clothes that a man In
the cold weather of a winter campaign
woma neea. rne men in tne neia wui
need more food and more clothes and
America is to be the place from which it
must come."
In discussing the relief recently noted
in the reduction of prices of several food
stuffs Mr. Ferguson remarked that In
some way the people couldn't understand
why the price of beef should not go
down. too. .
People don t seem to realise that It
takes four years to raise a 4-year-old
beef and that it can't be picked from a
tree" he explained. "It takes time to
raise them and only a cattle raiser can
understand the expense attached to It"
Mr. Ferguson left Houston at 11 o'clock
Wednesday night foe his horns at Tempi.
JUDGE MASTERSON'S COURT
COMMENDED JiY ATTORNEYS
Business Is Dispatched With Great

In reply to the criticisms on the part
of several attorneys regarding the
crowded-condition of the court dockets In
Harris county a committee of wall known
members of the bar filed a report Wed-

ness in Judge William Master-son's court.
The committee was appointed by Judge
Maaterson a few days .ago to make an
Investigation and reoorta that tha avutem
adopted by Judge Maaterson enables him
to dispose of a great volume of business
and showing that every case has been
called for trial during each term. The
report is as follows
"We the undersigned members of the
Houston bar appointed at the request of
Judge William Masterson as a committee
to investigate the condition of the docket
of the fifty-fifth district court beg to

patch a great volume of business as ha
does every term and we are certain that
court business could not well be disposed
of with greater promptness or mors
satisfactorily than is done by Judge
Masterson under the system employed by
him; indeed since he has been In office
every case on his docket has been called

Arthur Johnson In "The Beloved Adven

Because "The Beloved Adventurer"
the IB-part Lubln series written by Em-
mett Campbell Hall especially for Arthur
V. Johnson and Lottie Briscoe the sec
ond of which "An Untarnished Shield."
will be shown at the yueen today nas
been described as a character study
which it is it should not be thought to
be lacking In thrilling situations. On the
contrary there are a doxen incidents that
will cause the most hardened spectator
to hold his breath in suspense or gasp
with astonishment. This is not merely
by reason of the exciting "tmsiness out
because the thrills are legitimate and
are logical developments from reasonable
situations not mere "stunts" dragged in
for the sake of spectacular effect; and
because these incidents have been so In
troduced aa to obtain dramatic contrasts
of startling yet artistic abruptness.
Instead of following the not unusual
course of writing his stories around some
bis; mechanical effects or twisting ma
chine made plots to embrace them the
author of "The Beloved Adventurer" has
mad the sensational and spectacular
scenes incident to and not the basis of
the IS unit plots contained within the
one master plot of the series. Usually
the photo playwright Is hampered and
limited by the consideration of expense
but it was not so in this case the Lubin
company being determined that nothing
ahould stand in the way of a perfect
S reduction and giving the author a free
and. There are as a consequence some
effects which ordinarily would have been
considered aa "big" enough to serve as
feature scenes in multiple reel produc-
tions but which In "'Ine beloved Ad-
venturer" are only Incidents In the single
reel units aa for instance a head-on
collision and the wrecking and burning
of two railway trains and the burning
and blowing up of a ship.
Arthur Johnson is caned on to display
skill and daring In many ways and miss
Briscoe performs tne unique teat ot lasso-
ing from the top of a hundred-foot cliff
a man standing at its base and then
dragging him up the sheer face of the
rock like a fish at the end of a line.
Merely to read the book the complete
story of 'The Beloved Adventurer"
which Emmett Campbell Hall has writ-
ten and which Is published by the Lubln
company colncldentally with the release

dent Horn With Bequest That

That the city of Houston Is a philan-
thropic Institution organized for philan-
thropic purposes appears to be the opin-
ion of a number of citizens of Harris
uunty and recently Superintendent P.
W. Horn of the city schools was caused
to note this fact. Incidentally Mr. Horn
did some explaining.
Tuesday afternoon four well dressed
v. omen . entered Mr. Horn's office and
made known an unusual want.
"What can I do for you ladies " In-
quired Mr. Horn politely as they were
6entd.
"We have come for our school books"
answered the women In a chorus.
"Your school books" repeated Puper-
irtendent Horn. "You know that they
wr to be given out at the different
schools over the city. What part of the
ci'v are you from?"
' Oh. we'ro from " mentioning n
town several miles from Houston camn
the answer. Then they said that thiv
had noticed that the citv was giving free
school books and that they thought that
nhlle they were In the city thsy would
just step around and get theirs and save
him the trouble of having then sent out
Thev didn't mind the trouble for they
were in the city and It wss handv to call
around at the high school.
Then Mr. Horn had to explain that the
books were only for Houston school chil-
dren and thai each child had to be en-
rolled in the city schools before the
books could be taken out.
