AND THEY USED TO BE SO THIN.
Get in the Game--Sargoi Makes Pany, Peevish People Plump and Popular. Perhaps you yourself have enived the rounded beauty of such figures as these graceful, well-developed, splendidly healthful--you see them at all public places-admired by all.
Perhaps you dread to don your street, tennis or bathing dress because of your own painful thinness--you wonder bitterly why you are thin you eat good food and plenty of it—but somehow you can't gain flesh-why is it?
You are thin doubtless because the flesh-producing elements in your foods pass away from your body instead of being retained to build it up your system lacks the power of proper assimilation-a dozen meals a day will not increase your weight- they will only add to the loss.
You need something to stop this waste-you need Sargol.
3
SARGOL combines with the sugars, starches, fats and albumenoids in your food in such a way that they are readily absorbed by the blood and carried to the parts of the body where they are most needed to nourish and build it'ap..
As your semi-starved body gains in flesh and rounds out to its normal beautiful proportions you will find yourself improving wonderfully in looks, in vitality and in vigour.
Try this wonderful fesh builder that has made thousands of men and woman heavier, healthier and happier. A Gold Medal was awarded Sargol at the Brussels Exposition in 1910, another at Rome in 1911. A. S. WATSON & Co., VICTORIA Dispensary, The PHARMACY, QUERY'S DISPERSARY, THE EDWARD DISPENSARY, and all other first-class Chemists in Hongkong have it in stock.

The Empire of the Turk never was threatened with the danger of destruction as it is to-day, Financially, socially, and politically Turkey already is in raios. There are sisies entirely depopulated; the commerce and traffic in the whole etuntry is stopped, more than 250,000 men have fallen in the battlefield or died of diseases, no fewer than 309,000 wounded soldiers are crowded in the hospitals, and surely more than three million families are on the verge of starvation. Yet it is astonishing to say. that there never has been recorded in the history of the Ottoman Turk such a spirit of resistance and determination as a small group of Young Turks, who have taken tho destinies of the realm in their bands, are demonstrating.

With such a man at the head of the Em- pire, Enver and Talant have no fear about drawing up new temporary laws every morning and making the Sultan sign them without knowing or understanding their contents.
