There are good many people in
Tacoma who ardently wish they
could find some way of getting fat
and plump. While not i'll, yet they
are so thin and scrawny that their
friends think they cannot be well.
In nine cases out of ten this con-
dition can be readily overcome by
using the combination of flesh
forming foods known as Samose.
This little tablet taken three times
a day with the food does wonders
in building up good health and re-
storing the pleasing plumpness
that is so desirable.

people who were thin, weak and

Mr.. Noble desired to have the
mortgage cancelled, so took this
means to place it on record. II

What the Railroads Spend.

The men on railroad engines in the
United States when times are busy
draw in wages $53,00O,0 900 a year.
Last year the sum was cut to $45,-
900 900. The business of the coun-
try lost $8,000,000 in this one item,
says the Los Angeles Times.
Every mile of new railroad built in
the country costs first and last $685.
900, and if the building is 5000 miles
it puts into circulation SIS, 600.
If the building is 5000 miles there
goes into circulation $150,000,0 900.
The coal used on an engine in a
year costs on the average of $500.
Last summer there were 10000 idle
cars in the United States. Counting
thirty-nine to a train, this would be
5000 trains. One engine to the train
would curtain the coal used by a
value of $12,50O,000. That coal
means almost all wages. So does the
building of new roads.
If the conditions should last for a
year, these three items would make
a total of nearly 500, 100000 lost to
w~age-earners, assuming that only
half as much road is built as would
have been if times had been good.

Vicious circle" is a term often
used in the medical world. An ex-
ample of its psychological use applied
to argument may be found in Joseph
A. Scoville's book, "Old Merchants
of New York City"
Tom, the son of a wealthy man,
was a great favorite with all who
knew him, but he heartily detested
business. A merchant of New York
had hired him as a bookkeeper at a
high salary. Nevertheless, Tom got
into the habit of reaching the office
later and later, until finally he got
there about two in the afternoon.
When this state of affairs a gone
on for a week, the merchant remon-
strated.

Near DeIicacies.

The mother of a delicate Lanca-
shire girl, who seemed to be suffer-
Ing from loss of appetite and general
Gebility, called in a physician, who,
to tempt the patient to eat, pre-
scribed-so a writer in Good Health
states-a few oysters and a little
champagne.
Where do you suppose I'll get
money to pay for Injuries like oysters
and champagne?" demanded the
mother.
The doctor shrugged his houlders,
knowing that many of the Lanca-
shire miners earn good wages, and
often spend a fair amount of them.
"In an extreme case like this" he
suggested, cit would not be extrav-
agance."
Some days later he met the mother,
and made inquiries for the girl. 81

says the Independent. Commissioner
Whipple, of New York State, tells us
that the upper Hudson, in August,
1907, had no more than two inches of
water where it used to roll a heavy
volume. There is substantial agree
ment that this change has been due
to the denudation of our hills and
valleys of the water-holding trees.

Permanence of Iron Gall Inks.

Various iron gall inks which, when.
freshly made, had been analysed by
the Prussian government testing bu-
real and had been ranked in the first
class, were allowed to stand three
years and again examined. 1t was
found that the quantity of iron in So
luton remained unchanged, but that
the fannie and gallic acids were
greatly diminished, in some cases by
more than one-half, SO that many of
the inks no longer satisfied the con-
ditions established for inks of the
first class. The sediment deposited
In the bottles contained only traces
of iron and consequently could not

was probably composed of products
of the decomposition of fannie and
gallo acids. If this decomposition is
favored by exposure to light, as is
not unlikely, ink should keep better
in earthen jugs than in transparent
glass bottles.

North Carolina and Montana to Sail

Washington, D. C.-To afford all
protection possible to American citi-

the Administration has decided to

that country.
1t was explained that this action
was taken not because Of any particu-

received, but simply as a precaution-
airy measure.
The squadron will consist of the
armored cruisers North Carolina and
Montana, now at Guantanamo, Cuba,
under command of Captains Marshall
and Reynolds respectively. Their i'm
mediate objective point will be Alex
andretta or the Mediterranean coast
of Turkey, which is in close proxim-

Tabriz, Persia.-An American, H.
G. Baskerville, until recently a
teacher in the Presbyterian school
here, was killed outside of Tabriz
while leading a sortie of Nationalist
from the city. The object of the ex-
petition was to open a way for the
bringing in of provisions, of which
the city stands greatly in need. 1t
was not successful.
The situation here was desperate.
The Christians of Tabriz armed them
selves to put up a strong defense DUR
ing the bloody disorders. The Eng
fish residents sent a telegram to For
sign Secretary Grey in London, ap-
pealing for immediate help. The
Russians took refuge in their consul
ate.
To add to the ~terrors of the situa-
lion in the besieged city, the foreign
,onsulates were threatened by a
starving mob. The consuls are per-
mitted to receive necessary living
supplies, which in the present deplor-
able condition of the people make
them an object of jealousy.
AS a result of the strong represen-
cations made by the British and Rus
sian Ministers in Teheran the Shah
consented to a six-day armistice, a
measure which will enable the OBJ

Baskerville was active in assisting
che Persian revolutionists against
The Government. Possible complica-

at Tabriz of all of Baskerville's acts.
The mission gave orders also that he

which he did.
