By Following This Simple Suggestion.

BY Following This Simple Suggestion.
Thin men and women who would

fat should try eating little Sargol
with their meals for while and note
results. Here is a good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and meas
ure yourself. 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
many thin men and women we be-
lieve can easily add from five to eight
pounds in the first "A days by follow
ing 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 starches of
what you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat
producing n0urishment for the tissues
and blood-prepare it in an easily as
simulated form which the blood can
readily accept. Much of this nourish-
ment now passes from your body as
waste. But Sargol works to stop the
waste and do it quickly and to make

same meals you are eating now de-

western world have worried along
with their few and tasteless vege-

wisdom of great age, have built up a
veritable host of viands--vegetable

The investigators didn't recommend
the egg or shrimp habit very highly.
But they did favor the other dishes

1t is unfortunate that the report did

while the Chinese are far ahead OF

by utilizing the white pulp Of the wat

more than seven hundred unwounded

The repeated attacks there were
thrown back before they succeeded in
reaching the barbed wire defenses and
there was the same result generally
in the attacks against Hill 304.
Attackers Driven Back.
The German regiment that succeed
ed in penetrating 500 yards of French
trenches on the northeastern slope of
the now historical Mort-Homme or
Dead Mans Hill several times was
driven back to cover when attempting
to attack the positions higher up.
No sooner would company of men

guns began to bring down the attack
ers. They never got more than one

they lost heavily during the day.

The crown princes supreme effort
for the capture of Verdun, as the mil

point out that when the assailant
realizes that he has failed to attain his
objective he invariably delivers an ex-
tended assault with great violence be-
fore Iapsing into normal trench war
fare. Such was the great German at.
tack during the battle of Ypres on No
vember 10, five days before the battle
ended and the first French battle IN
Champagne on March IS, 1915, also
closed with violent assault. In these
operations the assailants hope to sur
prise the denfender by an unexpected
effort and to wrest from him, by TAX
ing him unawares, the reward Of their
own sacrifices. General Petain, the
French commander at Verdun was not

The battle continues but with a per-
