Don't be the "Skoloton at the Feast." Eat Sargol make you Plump and. Popular HOW THIN PEOPLE CAN PUT ON FLESH.
A New Discovery.
Thin men and women-that big, hearty, filling dinner you ate last night. What became of all the tat-producing nourishment it contained? You haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed from your body like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough nourishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions. of assimilation, are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. Out the Besh cream reb-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those two Sargot tablets. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight good. solid pounds of healthy, stay there" fat should be the net result. Sargol charges your weak, stagnant blood, corpuscles-gives the blood the carrying power to deliver every ounce of fat-making material in your food to every part of your body, Sargol, 100, mixes with your food and prepares it for the blood in casily assimilated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 to 25 pounds a month while taking Sargol, and the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are a scientific combination of six of the best flesh producing elements known to chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive, and A. S. Watson & Co., VICTORIA DISPENSARY, THE PHARMACY, QUEEN'S DISPENSARY, THE EDWARD DISPENSARY, and all other first-class Chemists in Hongkong have
it in stock.

In front were barbed wire entangle ments, and in many places a series of trous de loup (pits with epikes at the bottom). These looked just like a honey comb, only the tops of the holes were circular. They were four to five feet across, from seven to eight feet deep, with sharpened stakes in the bottom, and were shaped like an inverted cone. At the top the edges were about nine inches apart. We were warned to-day that they were supposed to be mined, too, Over one lot I saw there was a low barbed-wire entanglements
