An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 80 lbs
of Solid, Healthy, Permanent
Flesh

Thin, nervous. undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say,
Il can't understand why do not get fat.

The reason Is just this: You cannot get
lat, no matter how much you eat, un-
less your digestive organs assimilats
the fat-making elements of your food
instead OF passing them out through the
body as waste.
What is needed is a means Of gently
urging the assimilative functions of the
stomach and intestines to absorb the
oils and fats and hand them over to the
blood. where they may reach the starv-
ed. shrunken. rundown tissues and
build them up. The thin PERSONS body
Is like dry sponge-easer and hungry
being deprived by the failure Of the
alimentary canal to take them from
the food. The best way to overcome
this sinful waste Of flesh building ele-
ments and to stop the leakage of fats
is to use Sargol. the recently discov-
cred regenerative force that is recon-
mended so highly by physicians here
and abroad. Take a little Sargol tablet
with every meal and notice how quick

Doubtless his intentions. in the be-
ginning were purely philanthropic-
Propinquity and sympathy play
queer tricks sometimes. The psy-
chology Of sexual attraction has
been but poorly interpreted, and
most people are ignorant of where
the frail bark Of their sympathies
Is being carried by the power Of per-
sonal attraction.
/ would not have anyone think
that I am not a believer in platonie
friendship between the sexes. But
in order for one to be perfectly safe,
I would advise that it is cultivated
only where there are no insurnount-
able obstacles to a closer union.
Strong natures or those who have
cultivated the habit Of listening to
the voice of conscience or who have
strong religious principle may be
able to Withstand temptations But
the ordinary individual to whom
self love and personal indulgence
have been the mainsprings, had
better bsware Of forming associa-
tions where such temptations will
confront them

Photoplays to Teach
Lessons in Hygiene

Tho health commissioner of tho city
of New York. DR.. S. S. Goldwater, has
completed arrangements for the produc.
ton of photoplays that will be used in
the health campaigns he intends to in.
augurate in New York. \ story has
been prepared which shows the danger
of infection from typhoid The picture
shows a countryhouse. more or less ill
kept. then the room where lies a child
suffering from typhoid. Tho mother IL
shown busy about her household duties
She leaves the kitchen and gives the
patient a glass of milk. The patient
does not drink it all; the remainder Is
given to another child. who later Is
shown to have contracted the disease.
The husband becomes infected. and
the milk which Is sold to n neighborins
dairy is contaminated. The story fol-
lows the infected milk to the city and
shows the havoc wrought through the
infected milk being resold in q con-
gested district.
There are a number Of other pictures
being worked out These will all ad-
here strictly to the truth. and will do
more toward popular education than
any number Of books.

Let him get SO mad that he'll
never speak to you agains-if you cant
get rid Of him any other way. Don't
worry about him-he's just a stubborn.
bad-tempered, self-willed young man
who needs a good lesson the worst way
In the world. and you are just the per-
son to give It to him.
II he wants you for a sweetheart and
will not be contented to have you for
a friend. you'll just have to let him
go. that's all.
Show him in every possible way that
there isn't the least use of his trying
to make you fall in love with him: be
very nice indeed to some one else. and
let him see you being nice. Introduce
him to the prettiest girl you know. and
to fall in love with her-for a few
minutes. while you get a chance to
catch your breath.
Don't be ''bull!ed" into a love affair
that you don't mean. A man who tries
to make a girl love him will never sue
ceed in doing anything but making her
hate him. It's all very we'll for him
to fall in love with you, but why
should he imagine that he has any
right to compel you to pretend to fall
In love with him?
So he's very angry II you 20 out with
other men? Well. you just tell him
that he has no more right to be angry
with you for going out with other men
than you have to be angry with him
for buying picture post cards. or wear
