STOCK MARKET
.@@e@-<.-=-'>-@~


 New York, Sept 15.-Opening Early trading in stocks today was mainly a repetition of recent recessions. War shares furnished the only feature of interest, Bethlehem Steel making a new high record at an advance of a point to~35O and Crucib1e Steel break ing into new ground at 96t1-2, an over night advance of 3-8. United States Steel again manifested uncertain ten dencies, opening at slight decline, soon recovering and as suddenly re- acting. Investment issues were more or less neglected, with no marked changes in that branch of the list.
 NOON.-A new leader appeared in the first hour, Allis-Cha1mers super seding United States Steel and Cruel bleo Steel as the most active issue. This stock rose 2 to A 1-8 and then fell away moderately. Other war shares shaded point to 8 points, ex- cept Bethlehem Steel Pfd, = which rose 10 points to 159 7z8, and Ameri- can Locon olive, which rose 3 1-2 to 5 3-4. United States Steel made a second recovery and coppers also improved. Union Pacific regained it's fractional loss, but Rock Island broke 2 IA to 20 on confirmation of the report that suit was to. be instt- tuted against present and former di- rectors of the operating company. Bonds were steady. in the face of more foreign selling.

THIN PEOPLE CAN

Thin men and women who would like to increase their weight with 10 or IS pounds of healthy ''stay there" fat should try eating a, little Sargol with their meals for a while and note results. Here is a good test worth trying. First weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take Sargol lone tablet with every meal--fOr two weeks. Then weigh and meas ure again It isn't a. question of how you look or feel or what your friends say and think. The scales and the tape measure will tell their own story, and many thin men and wo- men we believe can easily add from five to eight pounds in the first four teen days by following this simple direction. And best of all, the new flesh stays put
 sargol does not of itself make fat but mixing with your food, it aims to turn the fats, sugars and starchea of what you have eaten, into rich ripe fat producing nourishment for the tissues and blood-prepare it iFt an easily assinnilated form which Che blood can readily accept. Much O. this nourishment now passes from your body as waste. But Sargo- works to stop the waste and do l- quickly and to make the fat produc- ing contents of the very same meals you are eating now develop pounds and pounds Of healthy flesh between your skin and bones.
