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 little flesh and weight," but when a friend suggests a way they declare: Not a chance. I've tried everything and am doomed to stay thin. I'm built that way."

Being built to stay thin" means only that your digestive tract is so disarranged that it doesn't properly prepare the fat producing elements of your food for assimilation by your blood. Or, it taay mean that your blood. itself lacks the red corpuscle- the carrying power-to properly absorb these flesh producing ingredients,

In either event the major portion of your needed, normal nourishment goce to waste. It isn't food that makes folks fat. It's what the blood absorbs from the food-the sugars, starches, albuminoids of what you eat, If your body absorbed all the fat making material you eat you would plump up to proper portions very quickly.

You can quickly stop this waste by eating SAKGOL with your meals and by stopping it you can easily, rapidly and safely gain from ten to thirty pounds of solid, health weight. They come 10 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive S.

YARN MARKET.

The circular issued by Messrs. Blishwalla and Kotwall cotton and yarn brokers, for the period November 19th to December 2nd, saysIt is disappointing to have to record another fortnight of utter stagnation which, unfortunately, has been accentuated by the rapid and abnormal rise in Exchange. The harvesting of the rite crop is well-nigh over, and, although clearances show no iemprovement, indi- cations pointed to a fair revival of de- mand and a partial return of confidence. The sharp, advance in Silver, however, has undermined all chances of business mak

ing dealers more nervous than ever.

The spel of depression has been prolong- ed unfortunately too long; in fact, we have had a series of disquieting markets since the beginning of October, and should the upward move of Silver continue, as it bids fair to, it is quite on the cards to expect a continuance of the present depres sion. Bates have already sagged away $10/12 from the highest point touched, and there is no knowing when the decline will be arrested, Importers who thought it prudent to withhold sales during the topmost position of the market now find themselves in an awkward predicament, being unable to quit their holdings even at a discount of $18.

In the circumstances, transactions dur- ing the fortnight have again been meagre; the aggregate of sales amounting to no. more than 1,000 bales made up of small parrels of No. 10s, and registering a de line of 28/4 in tales. The closing tone is weak uneasy.
