The Mirror Shows Plainer Than Words What a Wonderful Improvement May Be Realized by a Gain of Even 10 or 12 Pounds, 'SARGOL MAKES PUNY. PEEVISH PEOPLE
PLUMP AND POPULAR.”
If you are tired of being called "Skinny" "Bear pole" or any of the other tormenting names shouted at thin folks, you will be glad to hear of a remarkable discovery that puts on good solid flesh at a wonderful rate.
The thin man has a gaunt, cadaverous, hungry look that gives an unfavourable impression when he meets people, and his unfavourable impression seriously detracts. from his success,
The thin woman has a scrawny, angular look, that, no matter how regular her features, destroys the charm of feminine beauty. The rounded curves of the plump woman so pleases the eye that even an unfortunate face is forgotten and she is called beautiful,
Thanks to this new discovery, this remarkable flesh builder, Sargol, you can now be plump and well developed, the bones covered with good solid flesh, the hollow places filled out so that wrinkles disappear and the sharp angles changed into beautiful curves. Scrawny necks and shoulders will grow into a form of beauty and the cheeks and face will become plump, full and attractive.
There is no strenuous exercising required, no drastic diet necessary, just use Sargol, the new flesh building element, and see the weight increase in a natural way. You ask how this is accomplished. Very easily; Sargol simply helps nature by restoring a perfect assimilation of food. Thin people are usually thin because they do not absorb the nutriment they should get out of their food. It simply passes through, the system as coal shakes out of a wide grate when only partially consumed. Use Sargol and you will entirelye medy the imperfect assimilation so that what you cat will fill out the loose skin and cover the bony angles with flesh that has been lacking. It will not only make you look better, but will make you feel better, giving the vitality and life that is the heritage of the well developed.
A Gold Medal was awarded Sargol at the Brussels Exposition in 1910, another at Rome in 1911. A. S. WATSON & Co., LTD., VICTORIA DISPENSARY, THE PHARMACY, QUEEN'S DISPENSARY, THE EDWARD DISPENSARY, and all other Erst-class Chemists in Hongkong have it in stock.
Don't Worry-Take Sargol."

A
HYBRID AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE.
REGISTRY AND A FLUTTER OF
BUNTING."
Mr. Alexander R. Smith, former Superintendent, New York Maritime Exchange, writes in the San Francisco Chronicle:-
-Lagal luminaries of the Department of Commerco and Secretary of State Lams- ing agree that, under the laws of the United States, foreign vessels owned by on American corporation are entitled to American registry. Such vessels are re- garded as American, even if all of the stock, save alone a few shares needed to qualify the directors of the American corporation that owns them to act as such, is owned by foreigners.
The full significance of this legal ruling of administrative officers may not be apparent to the people, at first glance. It means: That vessels built in foreign countries, of foreign materiale, by for eign workmen, owned, commanded, offi- ored and manned by foreigners, are en- titled to American registry if nominal ownership is vested in an American or poration
The only thing about the veeels that would really be American would be the registry and the flaga Federal document and a flutter of bunt ing All of the material, practical con- stituent parts of such an American merchant marine would be, or at least may be, wholly foreign.

Arrangements are made for assisting those who have not the moane to make the journey but who none the less wish to go.
