Beinu and Dojno,

AS the man is in the integrity of his
character, So Is his strength. Being
Is everything, 1t conditions happi-
ness; 1t determines and measures
service. A mans happiness depends
upon what he Is In himself. A mans
service to others is conditioned upon
what he is in himself. Being is basal
to doing. AS the speed Of the cleo
trio car is determined by the energy
stored In the power house. as the
power of the piston rod is determined
by the push of accumulated steam.
SO personal power Is determined and
measured by character. This Is su-
preme power, character filled with
the divine presence and radiant with
a divine holiness.

Thin men and women who would

with their meals for awhile and note
results. Here is good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and
measure ourself Then take Sargol
one tablet with every meal for
two weeks. Then weigh and measure
again 1t 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
most any thin man or woman can
easily add from five to eight pounds in
the first fourteen days by following
this simple direction. And best of all.
the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make rat,
but mixing with your food, it turns
the fats, sugars and starches of what
you have eaten, into rich. ripe fat
producing norrishment for the tissues
of the blood-prepares it in an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste.
But Sargol stops the waste and does it
quickly and makes the fat producing
contents of the very same meals you
are eating now develop pounds and
pounds of healthy flesh between your
skin and bones. Sargol Is safe, pleas
