LONDON PAPER VIEWS
 ON AMERICAN LETTER

London, Feb. 12.-The texts of the American notes to Germany and Great Britain concerning the possible sinking of American ships and use of the American flag have not yet reach ed the London papers which conse- quently are chary of editorial com ment.
 The Pan Mall Gazette, however, says it will not be difficult to satisfy the United States that in using the American flag to defeat the intention of German warships to torpedo mer- chantmen without warning Great Bri- tain is acting not only in the national interest but in the interest of human ity a,nd> civilization. There would be no danger of American ships being sunk if the German craft behave as every usage of war dictates and board the ships they stop for an exanina- ton of their papers"
 The Pal1 Mall Gazette calls atten- ton to the fact that while the Ameri- can government is making representa- tfons concerning the use of the stars and stripes, American passengers are peutioning the Cunard line to sail under the American flag so that they may enjoy its protection.

THIN PEOPLE
 GAN GET FAT
En.erease in weighs 1o rounds or Mors.
A Physician's Advice


 TT certainly give most anything to be able to fat up 8 few pounds and stay that way,'' declares every exces- sively thin man or woman. Such a re- suit is not impossible, despite past failures. Thin people are victims of nlal-nutritioh, condition which pre- vents the fatty elements of food from being taken up by the blood as they are when the powers of nutrition are normal Instead of getting into the blood, all the fat and flesh producing elements stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste.
 To correct this condition and to pro the nutritiye processes must be artifi- cially supplied with the power which nature has denied them. This can best be accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. .Sargol is a scientific combination of six of. the best strengths giving, fat pr odE.cing se1e ments known to the medical profes- the food and turns the sugars and starches into rich, ripe nourishmenI for the tissues and blood and it's rapid effect is remarkable. Reported gains of from ten to twenty-five pounds in a single month are by no means infre- ura1 and absolutely harmless. Sargol is sold by all good druggists every where and every package contains a guarantee of weight increase or money back.
 Cautfo11:-WhfIe sargoI has pro, duced remarkable results in the treat ment of nervous indigestion and gen eral stomach disorders, it should not, owing to it's remarkable flesh produc- ing effect, be used by those who are not willing to increase their weight ten pounds or more.-Adv.
