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 fat-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. Omit the flesh cream rub-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those two Sargol 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, too, mixes with your food and prepares it for the blood in easily assimilated form. This people gain all the way from to 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.

BARBAROUS WAR ON WOUNDED
AND ON WOMEN.
On the last day of August, 1914, "a French Army doctor, Aide Major X- posted with his ambulance at Fossé, Wahinformed that on the retreat of the French soldiers ho and four orderlies would left behind to care for some two. hundred wounded who could not be moved. At once he commanded all the rifles left to be piled in front of the post, the magazines to be emptied, and all cartridges placed in a hoop. Fur- ther, when some French cavalrymen en- tered the village, and announced their intention of concealing themselves on, the outskirts, he persuade them to abandon their project in view of the risk to which it would expose the wounded,
What happened when the Germans Brevod i The story is told in full in a grimly tragic article which appears in the November issue of The British Review.
Aide-Major X is now back in Paris, and it is his report which forms the bulk of this article, It is wonderfully im partial. He met a few humane Ger mans, to whom he pays due tribute; but in by for the majority of cases those with whom he came in contact were personi. fications of shameless brutality.
Notwithstanding its Bed Cross flag Fossé was bombarded for more than half an hour. Then some Uhlane entered the
village:-
I went forward to meet thent. They pointed out to me the officer in command, I told him that Fussé had been evacuated by our troops, and that I had been left behind in charge of 200 wounded, on whose behalf I claimed his protection. The officer replied that the wounded were nothing to him (his actuel expression was of a very much stronger and loss refined nature): that the German troops were about to ab- tack the village. I represented to him that the men with me were defenceless, and were protected by the Geneva Convention; and begged him to explain the position to his commanding officer.
Again and again the French doctor pleaded for the protection of the Geneva Convention, to which Germany had sub- scribed, and the only reply was that the Geneva Convention held good only in time of peace."

AN EXTRAORDINARY SIGHT.
The Majestic now presented an extra- ordinary spectacle. She was lying over on her side, having such a list that it was no longer possible to stand on her dock. About one-third of the crew atili scomed to be hanging on to the rails or standing on ber side. All around the sea was full of men, some swimming towards neighbour ing ships, others apparently having their work out out to keep themselves afloat. All the vessels in the neighbourhood were were histening to pick up survivors, but: lowering boats, and many steam launches they did not stand in too close for fear of being dragged under in the final plunge.
