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," "Bean-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 feal at a wonderful rate.

The thin man has a gaunt, cadaverons, 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 checks. 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 nak 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 entirelyemedy the imperfect assimilation so that what you eat will fi 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 Hife that is the heritage of the well developed.

A Gold Medal was awarded Sargol at the Brussels Exposition, in 1910, another at Rome in igtr. A. S. WATSON & CO., LTD., VICTORIA DISPENSARY, THE PHARMACY, QUEEN'S DISPENSARY, THE EDWARD. Dispensary, and all other first-class Chemists in Hongkong have it in stock,

The Flushing correspondent of the Tele. grant has interviewed the German-born wife of a British workmen who lived in Berlin and has been allowed to return to England after sixteen months' internment.

a few days ago I reminded his of this episode, and it was really an inspiration (which I hope will reach every despondent soul) to hear him say, with just the same vigour and just the same flesh in his eye: And I am still of that opinion." To ny question about the strength and solidarity of the Alliance Mr. Lloyd George replied. at once; “The Allies are as firmly united now as at the beginning of the war When I hinted at the possibility of indus- trial trouble at homo Mr. Lloyd George retorted: "I refuse to believe that such a thing will occur..

AFRAID OF THE TRUTH.

SUPPRESSION OF A GERMAN PAPER.

A sensation was the permanent sup- pression by the German Government of Maximilian Harden's weakly review Die Zukunft (The Future). The article which caused the seizure of all the copics left in Berlin was as follows: M

Mr. Lloyd George is not one of those perfervid patriots who imagine they are doing their country a service by decrying everything German. In talking on this phase Mr. Lloyd George said: I think that America and all of us should realise that there were two Germanies before the wår. On the one hand there was the in- dustrial, the commercial, and the intelle tual Germany, and in a most remarkable way she has blended the three elements Now that Germany," said Mr. Lloyd. George with emphasis, was rendering a great service to civilisation. It was con. quering the world by the success of ita example, and that conquest would have proved a very genuine blessing. It would have been the means of saving souse of the terrible waste from which most of the social evils of humanity spring. As an ardent social reformer I freely coufess that I myself was learning a good deal from that side of Germany, particularly in the direction of municipal and national organisation."

Mr. Lloyd George paused, and then said. We should see a Germany of triumphunt. warriors, seeking whom they could devour, looking out for fresh spheres--or shall I any fresh hemispheres to conquer?”.
