WEIGH YOURSELF BEFORE USING

Weigh yourself before commencing TO
use SamOse, the grea. fiesh-forming
food. The wonderful sale on this prepa-
ration since first introduced in Wash
ington, and the remarkable results fol-
lowing its use have made leading drug
gists such enthusiastic believers in the
great value Of Samose that they give
their personal guarantee to refund the
money if SamOse will not make thin
people fat and restore strength and
health 10 those who use It.
This is a strong guarantee, but lead
ing druggists have seen so many of
their customers who a few weeks ago
looked IKE walking skeletons become
plump ard well, solely through the use
Of Samose that they feel they cannot
say too much to induce people to try It.
This marvellous f1esh-forming food is
assimilated as soon as it is taken into
the stomach. makes good rich blood,
tones up the weakened system. helps TO
assimilate the food. and makes the user
plump, well, and rosy.

BEAUTY CULTURE A SCIENCE, BUT
SIMPLE AT THAT, SAYS
LECTURER.

That Washington women are not In
different to the power of physical
beauty, to the charms Of retained
youth. was evidenced by both the size
and character of the audience that
listened to Madam Yale's lecture on
The Science of Beauty Culture" at the
New National Theater yesterday after
noon.
The little miss of seven was there TO
learn how she could still be seren in
grace of poise, and beauty. of express
sion, when she shall be seven times
seven. and then some. And the little
girls grandmother was there. her dear
old face lighted with youth-giving
pleasure when the curtain rose. and
Madam Yale, perfectly gowned in the
softest possible blue, came before those
VINO worship at her shrine of womanly
beauty.
Yes. they were all there: those who
nave beauty to perfect as well as those
who have beauty to create, and Madam
faie was revelation unto them both.
Denounves Ugly Women.
She denounced ugly women as those
who had not done their duty by them
selves nor by their Maker. For" she
said, Health, which is the structural
body, is the fundamental principle OF

She insisted that perfect preservation

other half

Science of Beauty.
1.-THE science of beauty culture is a
modern branch in wOman's education,
which permits a woman to be beautiful
SO far as her own perseverance extends
Beauty is a gift of God. 1t is a divine
influence. And when 1 say a beautiful
woman / mean mentally, spiritually,
and physically"
And to prove this statement Madam
Yale told of the effect of irritable
thought upon the features, the destruc-
ton Of lovely expression by the con-
slant and senseless worry TO which
women are prone
mo one can have beautiful eyes or A
soft expression of mouth unless she
feels good natured. Cultivate a sweet
temper" she advised her interested
hearers.
In costume of stars and stripes she
demonstrated the proper physical cul-
ture exercise TO develop a figure as per
feet in proportion and symmetry as her
own.
Her third act consisted Of iIIusfra-
tions of walks she has seen every
where" she said, except in Washing
ton at which sally there was an
amused clapping Of hands.
Poise of Body.
She demonstrated the correct poise
of the body. and the correct walk as
well as the hideous and amusing walks
one sees every day upon the streets.
Madame Yale decried the practice OF
tea and coffee-drinking among women,
insisting that such a habit will destroy
vitality, depress the spirits. wreck the
nerves, and dull the eyes. She breaches
the gospel of health. and the following
Of normal, sane methods in living.
For her Illustrations OF correct and
incorrect walking. she wore a short
tunic of delicate pink, trimmed with sill
yer, with tights beneath. which dis
played the marvellous youth in the lines
Of her figure.
They are more the lines Of eighteen
than-well, what shall I say, since
Madame Yale has forgotten her age,
and there is nothing in her wonderful
childlike grace to suggest II.
