DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI
AND FORBES

"Rossetti was a friend of emy
fathers" said FOrbes-R Robertson
recently in speaking of his early days
as a painter. "and it was he who en-
couraged my family to let me take up
painting. II was on his recommended
tion that | worked three years at the
Royal Academy of Arts. Rossetti was
a rather alarming man-simply gor-
geous looking. His eye sockets were
put i'm with a dirty finger. so to speak,
but you could almost see the light be-
hind those eyes which beamed out
from head like the head of Shakes
peare in the bust at Stratford. He
was rather thick set and spoke labor
iously. | remember asking him once
how he managed to get so many
beautiful models for his pictures. If
it's wet day. he replied, 4 stand at
the window and watch the people
pass. When / see a beautiful being
rush out and say that I'm a painter.
Sometimes they pose and sometimes
they scream. When they scream
run in and slam the door,"
when | was a youth OF fifteen, "
says FOrbes-RObertsOn, Rossetti chose
me for his model for 'Dante's Love.
in his now famous picture, 'Dante's
Dream which hangs in the Liverpool
Art Gallery. It will he remembered
by those who have seen the picture
that 'Dante's Love is pictured as kiss
ing Beatrice. When | came TO pose
for the picture, Rossetti said: I am
sorry, Johnston. | haven't a beautiful
lady for you to kissl which thrilled
the bashful youth of fifteenl"

Thin Folks Get Fat On
Three Meals A Day
Specialist Explains Why Food Does
Not Always Produce Flesh and
How Thin People Can
Increase Weight.

Most people who are thin and
under normal weight eat heartily but
get no increase in flesh, while plump,
chunky folks of normal weight eat
less than they do and keep stout all
the time. The underweight ones
finally decide Nature intended them
to be thin. that the amount or nature
of their food has nothing to do with
fesh-making and that nothing can
make them fat. But this is not so.
A stout, strong, robust body can
come alone from food nourishment
Food is the source of all fat and il
you are thin and underweight it is
merely a certain indication that only
a small portion of the hesh-making
nourishment in your meals is reach
ing your blood and tissues. The as
similative functions of your stomach
and intestines are not working prop
erly and the larger part of the food
value is leaving your body as waste.
To correct such a condition, to gain
flesh, increase weight and get 100
per cent value from your food, a
single Sargol tablet taken at each
meal will work wonders. Sargol is
scientific combination of six splen-
nlQ dhSlNllldllNt dEtiAos IL lAbhiBb-
ly stops the leakage of fats and while
aiding digestion, also separates every
last particle of the fats, oils. sugars
and starches of your food from the
waste matter and prepares the for
mer into rich. ripe, fesh-producing
nourishment which the blood readily
absorbs and distributes throughout
the body Weight increase usually
begins within a very few days after
Sargol is used with meals. In my
opinion two ordinary hearty meals
eaten with Sargol is equal in flesh
making value to six ordinary hearty
meals eaten without it, Try it, you
people who are thin, run down and
underweight. and see if I'm not right.
You can buy Sargol from practical
! ly any druggist hereabouts and every
package contains a positive 4suaran-
| tee of weight increase or money back.
| While also valuable as a treatment
for nervous Indigestion, il should not
! be used by people who do not wish
to increase weight.
