Frazer, S.M., at tho Magistrate's Court yesterday to a charge of failing to account for goods, valued at .£l7 17s. 9d., to Clarke and 1 Co., manufacturers', agents and importers,. Wellington. Chief - Detective Boddam said the defendant had been i.an accountant in the/employ of Clarko and Co. Accused had received a quani.tity of goods on behalf of his employers, ■but failed to account for, them. It was stated that there was nothing known againsi tho defendant previously, and that his, mental balance had been disturbed somewhat as a result of influenza. Defendant's relatives had refunded the value of t'he goods. His Worship said ho did not think the case was one for imprisonment, not because the value of the goods had been refunded by the relatives of the defendant, which, was more creditable to the relatives than to the defendant, but because it was passible the epidemic had v unsettled liim. "I will admit him to . probation," «aid* Mr. Frazer, "but the term will, have to be a fairly long,one, in case lie has a Tecurrence, of tho influenza." Hill was admitted to probation for two years.

Thousands of'■ people suffer from execs-. sive. thinness, "weak nerves, nndfoeblotitomachs'who, having tried advertised fleslimakers, food-fads, physical culture stunts, and rub-on creams, resign themselves to life-long skinniness and think nothing will make them fat. Yet thejr caso is not hopeless. A recently discovered regenerative force makes fat grow after years of thinness, and is also unequalled for repairing the wasto of sickness or faulty digostion" and for strengthening the nerves. This remarkable discovery is called Sargol. Six sli'ongth-giviii" faiproducing olemonte of acknowledged merit have been combined in this peerless preparation, which is endorsed by eminent physicians and used by prominent, people everywhere. It is absolutely harmless, inexpensive, and efficient. ' A month's systematic uso of . Sargol should produco flesh and strength , 'by correcting faults of digestion and by supplying highly^concentrated fats to tho blood. Increased nourishment is obtained from the food eaten, and the additional fats that thin people need are provided. All leading chemists supply Sargol and say there is a large demand for it. Whilst this new preparation has given splendid results as a nerve tonic and vitalizer, it should not be used by nervous people,unless they wish to gain at. least ten pounds of llesh.—Advt.
