DON'T BE THIN.
No Need Of Being scrawny. Weak and
Emaciated.

In these days of physical culture
and health foods, one would hardly
expect to see thin, weak. emRciated
people. but In spite of all this, nearly
every person you meet is thin and
scrawny.
Good healthy flesh can only be gath
ed by the use of the proper food,
which through assimilation OF the fat
giving elements. Nine people out of
ten in order to weigh as much as they
ought and be perfectly healthy should
use SamoSe, the great hesh-form'ng
food. Weigh yourself before COM
mencing to use these little tablets,
and see how your weight increases.
Samose has valuable fiesh-formlng
and tissue-buEdlng properties. and
when II is assimilated with the food,
I causes the fiesh-making elements
TO be retained and the weight Is nat
urally increased.
w. b. Mcpherson. the popular
druggist, has sold In the last few
weeks, great many packages of
Samose, every one with his personal
guarantee to refund the money II Il
did not give satisfaction. and has had
but one person ask for the money
back. Just think OF Il; only one who
used Samose found that IL failed to
give satisfactory increase in flesh and
pMmpness. You run no risk what
ever in buying Samose. II YOU are
not perfectly satisfied with the re-
suits w B. Mcpherson will return
your money.

PEACE ON EARTH.

''Come, let us reason together,
said the Prophet Isaiah, and after
some three centuries. man has &C
cepted the prophets figurative Ian
guage in a literal sense. We are be-
ginning to reason together; the earth
Is beginning to see peaceful days.
The brotherhood of man is becoming
something real; diplomacy Is no
longer a polite international lie. to
mask warlike preparations. Cooper
alton in common enterprises; arbi-
tration of seeming differences to as
certain whether they are really diff
ferences or merely differences In
point OF view; interchange OF notes
between nations; all these are indi-
cations OF lasting peace.
America has had hand
In bringing about the new era. She
has always spoken the truth in her
dealings with other nations; she has
been successful. Repeated successes
will attract attention. Our dominant
influence In China and our friendly
relations with South America, despite
European meddling have their effect
ION the foreign departments of other
governments.
War clouds IN the Balkans: war
ylouds in the Pacific; war clouds over
South America, have been dispelled
by reasoning together.
Church denominations are reason
ing together, commercial interests
and capital and labor are reasoning
together.
The same practice Is making this
country more truly democratic. A
congress of religious denominations
has just adjourned after a most
amicable session. In Washington
today, not only is the national con-
eress in session. but the states are
represented by their leading men in
a conservation congress, having I'M
!. der consideration the protection of all
natural resources against waste; the
rivers and harbors congress, which is
pushing the development of maritime
interest; and the southern commer-
citl congress, in which the strong
men Of the south are attracting the
nation to the possibilities of the
south.
These meetings have their effect
two ways-they focus public atten-
ton OF these communities represent
ed on the discussion, and they i'm
press congress with the fact that IL
Is expected to do something, and that
the folks back home are regarding
the questions rs national in their
scope.
The leadership and inspiration of
men. like Roosevelt, have done much
TO foster this spirit of enterprise.
Such meetings as these are less sub
ieot to the faint Of suspicion and
corruption than are official assemb-
les. The men directly interested in
projects for international improve
ments usually attend these meetings
and they return home loaded with
statistics. arguments and enthusiasm.
Resources of the country short time
ago were considered proper spoil for
corruptlonists, and II was nobody's
business outside the geographical
sphere OF their location. Our re
sources now are Jumped as national,
and we realize that II they are wasted
