To Put On Flesh
And Increase Weight
Good Advice for Thin People.


"rd certainly give most ANYTHING
to be able to gain few pounds ana
stay that way" declare many thin
men and women. Such result Is
usually not impossible desnte past
failures. Most thin people are VIC
tins OF mal-nutrition, condition
which prevents the fatty elements or
food from being taken up by the
blood as they are when the powers
of nutrition are normal. Instead Of
getting into the blood much OF the
fat and flesh producing elements stay
in the intestines until they pass from
the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy, normal amount OF
fat the flesh making food elements
must be so prepared in the digestive
processes that the blood will accept
and distribute them throughout the
BODY. There is a preparation called
Sargol. which works on this OASIS
and which is sold by nearly every
druggist on a positive guarantee OF
weight increase or money back. Hun
dreds have testified to weight increase
from its use.
Sargol does not Of itself make fat
but is simply a comDlnatioh ol inSie
dents of acknowledged merit that,
taken with meals seems to better en-
able the digestive organs to separate
the fattening elements of the food and
to prepare them in a form which the
blood can readily absorb. Sargol
comes in tablet form, is pleasant and
easy to take and its action is perfectly
natural and harmless. Sargol Is sold
nv Wilkinson e Co.. and druggists
everywhere who are authorized to re-
fund the full purchase price if weight
increase is not obtained.
NOTE:-Sargoi is recommended
only as flesh builder and while 1t
has produced excellent results in
cases of nervous Indigestion and gen
eral stomach disorders care should be
taken BY those using il who do not
want to increase weight.

Where is the delicate white blouse
of yesteryear? Or the pink or yell
low or nile green blouse so high in
favor year ago? Swept into the dis
card, it seems, by gay CONNECTIONS of
crepe and silk in colors not merely
brilliant, but gaudy. The louder
the color the more fashionable the
blouse.
The gay colored blouse is less
startling if it shows its relation to
the color of the skirt by the addition
of tiny bolero, or vest or reveres
anything to bring the color of the
skirt up to the waist and give sug-
gestion of unity.
The new waistline brings the new
corset-the long hip line and close
fitting bust line are imperative in the
corset that encloses the new
figure"
