Gain Healthy Flesh-Increase Your Weight from Ten
To Thirty Pounds-By Taking Sargol.
Thin Men and Women say “I'd give most anything to put on a life lesh and weight," but when a friend suggests a way they dedare: Not a chance. I've tried everything and am doomed to stay thin. I'm built that way."
Bingbulit to stay thin means only that your digestive tract is so disarranged that it doesn't properly prepare the fat piralmeng elements of your food for assimilation by your blood. Or, it may mean that your blood itself lacks the red corpuscle-- The varying power to properly absorb these flesh producing ingredients,
In either event the major portion of your needed, normal nourishment goes to waste. It isn't food that makes folks fat. It's what the blood absorbs from fie food-the sugars, starches, albuminoids of what you eat. If your body absorbed all the fat making material you cat you would plump up to proper portions very quickly.
You can quickly stop this waste by cating SxicoL with your meals and by stopping it you can easily, rapidly and safely gain from ten to thiny pounds of solid, health weight, They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless, and inexpensive.

GERMAN PLANS.
THE SPECTRE OF WINTER,
NORTHERN ARMY GROUP HEADQUARTERS,
September 19th. Mr. Stanley Washburn, The Times cor- respondent with the Russian forces, writes as follows:-
MR. BALFOUR ON AERIAL. DEFENCE.
Mr. Balfour, speaking in Parliament on |September 10th, said: The right, hon, gentleman who has just sat down (Sir H. Dalziel) made a pointed al per fcclly legitimate appeal to me to say something about the defence of London, He asked me questions about the guns, the provision of gims, the character of After spending the great part of the the guns, and their sufficiency in point past two weeks with this army group and of number, and their sufficiency in point covering nearly 1,400 miles, the greater | of quality, and he also asked me various part by moter-car, I feel moderately safe questions about the organization of the in venturing the conclusion that a serious defence of London, which, as he truly German advance against Petrograd is observed, is not a thing which can be atterly out of the question this season.

It is still uncertain how effective the German attempt.at Vilna may prove. As telegraphed from Dvinsk yesterday, the Russians are holling these lines superbly, but I believe the next German more will be a concentration in sufficient strength to enable them to take the Riga-Dvita- Dvinsk line regardless of east. If this be necomplished, it is impossible to imagine that the enemy will hazard o further advance this autuina.
IDEAL DEFENSIVE COUNTRY.
The country from the Dving to Pakoff, which I have inspected minutely, from Rign and Drinsk to Pskoff presents an ideal ground for General Buszky's system of rearguard actions and, with the forces at present here, I believe that even if they are successful in their attempt the Germans cannot reach Pskoff inside three months.
Even if that extremely strong line can be carried, the difficulties of further advance in winter are practically insurmountable.

If the right hon. gentleman ask, nie whether I think that at this moment everything has been done that can be done
do think so. or will be done for the defence of London, I think tho thing is still in progress, and still in process of development. If he asks me whether I think it possible within a reasonable tim to provide an adequate defenes of London, I should give him a much more reassuring answer, Let me frankly say I should give him a more reassuring answer, in no small degree because I hav a great belief in the organising capacity and the energy and resoure, the open- ness to ROW ideas, which has always characterised the distinguished Admiral who now has the defence of London immediately under his control. (Cheers.)
