HOW THIN PEOPLE
CAN PUT ON FLESH

Thin men and women-that big,
hearty, filling dinner you ate last
night What became Of all the fat
producing nourishment it contained?
You haven't gained in weight one
ounce That food passed from your
body like unburned coal through an
open CRATE. The material was there,
but your food doesn't work and stick,
and the plain truth is you hardly get
enough nourishment from your meals
to pay for the cost of cooking. This
is true of thin folks the world over
Your nutritive organs, your functions
of assimilation, are probably sadly out
of gear and need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Cut out everything but
the meals you are eating and eat with
every one of those single Sargol
tablet. In two weeks note the differ
ence. Let the scales be the Judge
Five to eight good solid pounds of
healthy, "stay-there" fat may be the
net result. Sargol aims to charge
weak, stagnant blood with millions of
fresh new red blood corpuscles-to
give the blood the carrying power to
deliver every ounce of fat-making ma
terial in your food to every part of
your body. Sargol, too, mixes with
your food, to prepare it for the blood
in an easily assimilated form. Thin
people tell how they have gained all
the way from 10 to Is pounds a month
while taking Sargol and say that the
new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets
are careful combination of six of the
best assimilative elements known to
chemistry. They come 40 tablets to
a package, are pleasant, harmless and
and Glen Thistlethwaites
4 stores and all other good druggists
in this vicinity sell them subject to
an absolute guarantee of weight in
crease or money back as found in
every large package.-Adv.

Train Your Hair as
an Actress Does

No class Of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and
naturally no class must be more care
full to retain and develop their charms.
Inquiry among them develops the in
formation that in hair care they find
it dangerous to shampoo with any
makeshift hair cleanser Instead they
have studied to find the finest prepa-
ration made for shampooing and bring
ing out the beauty of the hair. The
majority of them say that to enjoy
the best hair wash and scalp stimu-
lator that is known, get package Of
canthrox from your druggist; dissolve
teaspoonful in cup of hot water
and your shampoo Is ready. It costs
less than three cents for this amount
After its use the hair dries rapidly,
with uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy
that it will look much heavier than it
is. It's lustre and softness will also
delight you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair
growth.-Adv.
