EAT PRUNES IF YOU WISH
TO GROW FAT AND PLUMP
Thin Men and Women Do You
Want to Get Fat and Be
Stronger?
Tho trouble with most thin (oiks,
who wish to gala weight, 1b that they
insist on drugging heir stomach or stuf
ting It with greasy foods: rubbing on
useless "flesh creams," or following
seme foolich physical culture stunt,
while the real cause o? thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract prQperly assimi
lates the food you eat. Drink a glass
of cold water four or five times a day
and take the following preparation,
known to reliable druggists almost
everywhere, which seemingly embodies
the missing elements needed by the
digestive organs to help them convert
food into rich, fatladen blood. This
preparation is called Prunltone taken
at meals to prepare tat, llesh ami
muscle building elements ?o that the
blood can readily accept and carry
them to- the starved portion of the
body. You can readily picture the tram
formation that additional and previous
1? lacking flesh-making material
should bring to your cheeks, filling out
hollows about your neck and shoulders
and your talcing on from IS to 30 pound
of solid, healthy flash. Prunltone 1s
termless, inexpensive efflcent. L. E.
Bcoggin is selling quantities of it to
his customers doily, If you need a tonic
try .it at once.

made early to insure having them pro
perly entered before the Fair gets un
der way. Running a State Fair ia no
little job, and present indications are
that it is going to be bigger this year
than ever before.
Some of the exhibitors have already
started getting thel/ exhibits installed
but, of course, they are the ones who
are planning to put in elaborate ex
hibits of machinery. The majority of
the exhibits will not be put in until
the week before the Fair,
It's going to be a great Fair if hard
work and substantial prizes count for
anything. The Raleigh Chamber of
Commerce has put itself behind a
great home coming proposition, and it
is planning to run a special train
through the contral part of the State
In October to tell people about it.
Bigger and better tnan ever before
is to be literally true this year, the
management states, and this means
that It's time to begin thinking about
getting exhibits.
