Just look, Mary, at those Robinsons. Three months ago they were as thin as you and I. And Robinson says all they have done is Take Sargol and grow fat.** - HOW THIN PEOPLE MAY PUT ON FLESH.
We believe the thinnest man or woman can "fill out," become plump-yes, actually fat and all by this simple, harmless home treatment which imposes no hardships, offers nothing to rub on and can be taken privately.
Does Sargol of itself create flesh? No. But people take Sargol and begin to grow fat. Why? We'll tell you. Sargol aims to supply the one thing which most thin folks lack the power to properly assimilate their food. We believe that nearly all thinness comes from imperfect assimilation of food. The sugars, fats, starches, albumin-the flesh-making elements of what you cat each day, are probably passing wastefully from your system simply because your blood-Jacks the red corpuscles which normally should distribute these fatty clements throughout your body,. You cat enough, that's true. The chronically thin are generally hearty caters. Give almost any thin person the power to assimilate the flesh-making elements of his blood and in a few weeks he will find pounds and pounds of healthy fat added to his weight. But let any fat and happy person lose this same power of assimilation, and in the same time his clothes will be hanging in festoons on his emaciated frame,
waste.
Sargol is designed to correct these errors of assimilation by increasing cell growth, by putting into your blood the red corpuscles which carry the fatty elements of food throughout your body, by strengthening your nerves and putting your digestive tract in such shape that every ounce of flesh-making food you eat may give its full amount of nourishment instead of passing from your body as *****Does it succeed and co folks grow fat by its use? Well, rather. Scores and scores of men and women thin for years, born thin, ten, twenty, yes, even thirty pounds underweight, write, in effect, that they are astounded at the quick, unmistakable gain in weight, gain in health, gain in muscle, nerve force and vitality that Sargol has given them. Their reports go to prove that Sargol does put os fat at the rate of ten to thirty pounds a month and that best of all it is firm, healthy permanent "stay there" fat. It is no new, untried discovery, this Sargot, and its fame extends throughout the world. A Gold Modal was awarded it at the Brussels Exposition in 1910. Another at Rome in 1911.
...
.
If you want to increase your weight ten pounds or more, don't stop to wonder whether all this can be true. Try Sargol and see. Don't take our word for it. Let the scales and the tape measure tell their own story in your own case. A. S.

All Gormans are convinced that, as early as 1911, Great Britain and France alliance with had entered into an Belgium; thus Germany could not pos- sibly have violated Belgian neutrality. Reams of paper have been covered to prove this point. That the Imperial Date Chancellor's 'temarka do not exactly con- firm this theory only redounds to the dis- grace of the Chancellor, who, according to most Germans, ist nicht klug" (lacks smartness). The German General Staff was, of course, informed of the agreement and acted accordingly. Every Gorman I met was entirely satisfied with this explanation and was at the same time ready to demonstrate that the war is not a war of aggression, but merely defensive;

A GERMAN DIARY. HOW, ENTHUSIASM CHANGED TO
MISERY.
The dairy of a Bararion prisoner pap tured near Arras reveals the remarkable change which has come over the spirits of the German troopa. At first he was splendidly patriotic and confident, but a few days in the trenches sufficed (says the Chronicle correspondent) to damp his exuberant enthusiasm, His notebook con- tains these reflections:→
Enthusiasm has fallen to zero among us all. It is not to be wandered at either. We do not get enough rest. We aro given cold food, and not enough of it. The weather is abominablo, and we are overworked. If our jingoes and journalists came here with they would tell a very different tale from the humbug which they make people at home swallow. us, we only ask for one thing-rost, rest, and sloop.
