The village of Pilkem itself, which, of course, is quite non-existent as a village. offered no difficulty, but around it is one of the most magnificent trenches the Ger mans have ever constructed some 10ft. across and 12ft, deep, and full of concrete structures and dug-outs of the most elaborate nature. It is really a triumph of industry, but our guns had spoiled its looks badly, and, though some parties of the enemy in it fought hers and there, it offered no more formidable resistance that many other points.

In the later stages of the advanes the South Wales Borderers did very fine work, and, with some Fusiliers, they married the advance on right up to the Steenbook. No troops, in fact, in all the battle did their job more ty or with

UNHAPPY THIN FOLKS,

One of ile readers of a pupurar nealth journal wrote to the editor, asking why she was peevish, blue and discontented, and his answer will interest all thin people.

"My dear reader," he said, when you write that you are this and do not weigh what you should, you have given me the real cause of your unhappy feel. ings. If you only had a reserve of fat this would give a quieting and reassuring influence to the vital forces, and you would then be happy, contented and optimistic.

Then, too, you realize that the pro per distribution of fat on the body and limbs makes all the difference between beauty and ugliness, and you envy your. plump Friends As a liberal allowance of fat is one of nature's wise precautions to enable us to bear some of the trials of got fat. life, you should do all in your power to I know nothing so valuable to make people fat as a preparation of Sargol, prepared by The Sargol Co. of England.

From the standpoint of health, fat is essential, as it has great value as a reserve force, and saves the other tissues from destruction. So, by all means try to get fat."
