AN EASY WAY TO GET
FAT AND BE STRONG

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight Is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless "flesh creams" or following
some foolish physical culture stunt,
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
tific discovery, it is now possible to
combine into simple form the very
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood. This master
stroke of modern chemistry Is called
Sargol and has been termed the great
est OF flesh-builders. Sargol aims
through its re-generative, reconstruct
i've powers to coax the stomach and
intestines to literally soak up the
fattening elements OF your food and
pass them into the blood, where they
are carried to every starved, broken.
down cell and tissue Of your body.
You can readily picture the result
when this amazing transformation has
taken place and you notice how your
cheeks fill out, hollows about your
neck, shoulders and bust disappear
and you take ON from 10 to 20 pounds
of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is abb
soIutely harmless, inexpensive and eff
ficient.
cautlon.-While Sargol has given
excellent results in overcoming ner-
yous dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles It should not be taken by
those who do not wish to gain ten
pounds or more

For the first time Honoluluans will
be given an opportunity to pass judg-

Franz Leider, who has recently made a
spectacular leap into fame as great
composer of light opera, when the Ju-
venile Bostonians present his The
Million Dollar Girl"
With his works being the rage of
New York, Berlin, Paris and London,
1t is only by a stroke of good fortune
that one of his pieces is being played
out of those cities. Sold several years
ago for trifiing sum, during the
period when Leider was known as a
struggling composer The Million.
Dollar GirlT is the only light opera
from his pen which is not reinforced
and prevented from general production
by the strict copyright laws of Europe
and this country.
