Richmond, Ind., June 7, 1916. OBITUARY. Charles Edward Duffin was born at Lanesville, Harrison Co., Indiana, on Feb. 6th, 1904. and departed from this t-rthly existence at Richmond, Indiana, on June 6th, 1916. Age 12 years and 4 months. He was the son of Dr. Charles E. and Cora E. Duffin of this city. Besides his loving parents and small

friends to mourn his departure from us. He was loved by his teachers in school, where he was an ardent scholar, and had been advanced to the sixth grade. All who knew him were at once attracted by his natural sweet disposition, and impressed by his faculty of adapting himself agreeably at all times to his present company, young or old. Older people were especially impressed by the mature judgment which he always displayed and could not help but admire his little manly conduct, always honest, straight forward and reliable, thereby meriting the deepest confidence of every one. Charles was ambitious, and although still young, had shown his ability to take advantage of and make the most of his opportunities. His future prospects in life were exceedingly bright had he been permitted to remain with us, and his early call to the great Cellestlal Beyond by his and our own Creator must demonstrate to us conclusively that we are all controlled by

a Great Master whose judgment is supreme and that Charles was called at this time to perform still greater deeds of more exalted usefulness than was possible for him to do on earth and that his labors with us had been completed. . Let us all as mortals pray to realize this truth and recognize that our loss, now so apparent, must be a triumph for dear little Charles. He leaves with us fond recollections of love, friendship and affection, but greater still a pure, clean, child-like life of twelve years, as an example for us to live by and to appreciate that we have been benefitted by his short stay with us. 8-lt

Thin men and women who would like to increase their weight with 10 or 15 pounds of healthy "stay there" fat should try eating a little Sargol with their meals for a while and note results. Here is a good test worth trying. First weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take Sargol one tablet 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 and think. The scales and the tape measure will tell their own story, and many thin men nnd women we believe can easily add from five to eight pounds in the first fourteen days by following this simple direction. And best of all, the new flesh stays put. Sargol does not of itself make fat, but mixing with your food, it aims to 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 blood can readily accept. Much of this nourishment now passes from your body as waste. But Sargol works to stop the waste and do it quickly and to make the fat producing contents of the very same meals you are eating now develop poundsr and pounds of healthy flesh between your skin and bones. Sargol is safe, pleasant, efficient and inexpensive. Clem Thistlethwaite 4 stores and other leading druggists in this vicinity sell it in large boxes forty tablets to a package on a guarantee of
