the conviction OF simple duty, and we
are prepared to conc.1de that besides
such mind there is nothing in the
world that is truly great.
Such mind was in Leland in
Washington. and in William tie Silent.
and in Luther, and in all the illustri-
Gus company of patriots and martyrs
who by their success and by their
failure have made us what we are.
The South believe that the cause
for which Lee fought was a just one.
The South believes the same thing
today. And perish the thought Ing
the day can ever come on which =
descendant of the "Men who wore the
Gray" shall be base en.cgh to feel
that the cause for which those brave
men commended was other than per-
fectly fair and right.
Men are memorialiZed mainly for
tWo~reasons-for heroic achievement,
and for individual wortl apart from
the achievement.
On the latter scarce any one can
raise an objection to the setting up OF
Lees effgy in S>atuary Hall. No fairer
character ever incarlated itself in hu-
man flesh than that which adorned
the career of Robert Edward Lee. If
goodness and truth. honor and chiv-
airy, entitle one to a place in the Ma
tional Hall of Fame, then Lee stands
(loTG ny IlSul iIIIpI GSCIlpklDle
And on the score of achievement he
is equally strong. Good judges hav,
declared it to be extremely doubtful
if among all the great soldiers of the
world it Ould be possible to find a
greater than the Comman Ter of the
Army OF Northern Virginia.
On the battlefield he was. TO en-

North were finally forced to say. in
substance: Our soldiers can do abso-
lutely nothing with Lee. We have
sent down general after general, each
with the finest army on the planet
only to have them throWl' back IN
overwhelming discontinue and rout.
1t is always the SINE old story of de-

beating his powerful adversaries, he
finally surrendered without ever haV-
ing lost a battle.

their hooks in the waters of the Pam

robin and catfish to nibble at the
tempting bait. when one Of the happy
trio fell into the river. The small
feminine member was frightened to
death and ran away, leaving one little
boy struggling for life in the water.

SAMOSE Concentrated Flesh Forming Food the Only Remedy Known
IhnnesSBuidS Up the Thin and Weak Brings Back the Rosy Blush
of Health to Pale Cheeks, Rounds Out the Scrawny Form
and Gives the Beauty Lines of PlumpnesS.
TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE
Offer to Pay for Samoss, If it Does
Not Make Thin Folks Fat.

Pale. thin people are simply suffer-
ing from want Of nourishment. They
may eat enough, but their food is not
properly digested, and does them no
good.
Samose, the remarkable fesh-form-
ing food should be used by all who are
pale. weak and thin. II mingles with
the food and aids assimilation, so that
when taken for "A short time Nature
will soon assert her normal powers,
and the food that is eaten will give
strength and good flesh.
Weigh yourself before you COM
mence the use Of Samose. and you will
notice a steady gain. Samose is not a
cod liver oil or similar nauseating
concoction. but a scientific flesh-form-
ing food that restores the thin and
scrawny to their proper weight, and
nlls the weak and debilitated with
Vigor and vitality.
Tho woman VINO longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants 10 be strong and well and gain
health and good flesh will find his de-
sires accomplished by Sainose.
such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use Of Samose that n. b
Danforth is willing to pay for tht
I treatment If it does not give the desired
results. He makes this offer generally
and wants all who are thin, weak ol
out of health TO get box of Samos'

THE FATNESS OF HEALTH
Samose Fills Out the Curves and
Makes Thin People Fat.

If you are thin. your health is no,
what it should be If you are losing
weight steadily there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once. You can not be healthy and
strong if you are thin.
Perfect health and good. solid,
beautiful flesh can only come through
the use Of Samoso, the remarkable
fesh-forming food.
This makes the thin and scrawny
plump and robustl IL mixes with the
food so that all Of the elements tina.
make solid bone. firm muscle and good
flesh are thoroughly assimilated anc
retained in the system.
Samose is not "a drug or a stinulant
It is scientific flesh forming food that
restores thin people 10 a normal condi-
tion Of good healthy flesh
There are thousands of unhappy
nervous thin people who would lool
and feel entirely different If they wer,
only fat and plump Let them use Sa.

markable results.
