DON'T BE THIN
No Need of Being Scrawny, Weak
and Emaciated

Good healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper
food, with thorough 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 flesh-forming
food. Weigh yourself before COM
|mencing to use these tablets, and
see how your weight increases.
Samose has valuable flesh
forming and tissue building prop
critics, and when it is assimilated
with the food, 1t causes the flesh
making elements to be retained
and the weight Is naturally in
creased.
Ryner Malstrom Drug Co., the
popular druggists, have sold in the
last few weeks, a great many
packages of Samose, every one
with their personal guarantee to
refund the money If it did not give
satisfaction, and has had but one
person ask for the money back.

FAIR GATEMEN
ARE CLEARED

SEATTLE, Oct. 22.-The spe-
cial committee appointed by the
exposition to investigate charges
of stealing at the turnstiles and
of collision with men "higher
up" made its report yesterday to
the finance committee.
The committee found that whine
there was evidence of petty thtev-
ing there was nothing to base the
charge that there was a great con-
spiracy, and that the amount OF
money lost by the exposition was
small
Following the discharge of sew
eral gatemen recently, a local
newspaper printed a sensational
story to the effect that a regular
system of Withholding coin receIv-
ed for admission to the fair had
been in effect and that the total
amount thus secured aggregated
$2S,000.
According to the committee,
which has just filed its report, the
discrepancy is inconsequential.

REVEALS METHODS OF
BLACK HAND SOCIETY
Italian at Fairmont, w. Va, Says He
Was Threatened with Death Un-
less He Joined Organization

FAIRMONT. w. Va. June S.-With
the counsel table piled with knives,
pevoIvers and other paraphernalia of
an alleged Black Hand society, nine
teen Italians, arrested two months ago
in raid, were placed on trial today in
the circuit court.
Orazio Prabelli, 10 years old, testified
that he was forced to join the organi-
zation under penalty of death.
Parabelli said he was approached
many times by countrymen who threat
ened to kill him unless he became a
member He told of finally informing
the district attorney, who marked FIVE
S. bills and advised him to join the or
ganization. Parabelli testified that he
was told by the society members that
1t was customary to make a demand
for money on rich men.
If the, rich man declined to give the
money demanded, the members drew
cards from a deck, and the one drawing
a certain number was to kill the man
who refused to pay. He identified nine
of the nineteen prisoners as those who
initiated him into the Black Hand or
ganization.
