Thin Folks Made Fat

Good, healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper
food, together with natural action
of the organs of assimilation.
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 and health restorer.
Samose does not contain a par
tiole of starch or pepsin, nor is 1t
any nauseating preparation, such
as is usually recommended to
make people fat, and which does
not build up good healthy tissues.
Samose has valuable flesh-forming
properties, tones up and strengths
ems the whole system, helps the
food that is eaten to be assimilat-
ed in natural manner, and abb
solutely restores health to all the
organs.
If you are not perfectly satis-
fled with the results from Samose,
Ryner Malstrom Drug Co. will re-
turn your money without any
clubbing.

Pensions for
firemen

The city council will tonight
take steps to establish the fire
mems pension fund. Reports
were presented to the fire and
water committee by DR.. Parker
showing the condition
of the city firemen, and all but
about 10 are now in good physi-
cal shape. Several have to have
their teeth attended to, one is too
fat, a few others have minor all
ments, but all except Campbell,
the man who was injured in the
nitric acid explosion at the
Grown drug store a year and a
half ago, will be fit to pass.
Campbell has been on the pay
roll ever since, but has not been
able to do anything. In fact, he
is barely able to walk. The
chances are he will never recover,
and when the pension fund gets
started he will probably be pen
stoned.
This month all firemen will
have to contribute from their sal
aries to the pension fund, and the
council will tonight probably APP
point the committee to have
charge of the matter.

travelling with its mistress in the
car leaped out and chased othe

Seeing this, the chauffeur drove

with a stone wall and totally
wrecking the machine.

an action against the owner of the
chicken, claiming that 1t was re-

NABBED
PARTNER

Joe Bataria. an Italian artist,
was arrested in Portland yester-
day on advices from Tacoma that
he had buncoed his partner, John
Elros, out of 5000 and some pho
to-enlarging material. He was
brought back to Tacoma today
by City Detective Recob, and will
be placed on trial in the police
court Thursday.
When 1t was learned that Ba-
taria departed for Portland and
had left a case of picture frames
in local express office for ship
ment. City Detectives Recob and
Mitchell took the contents out
and sent the empty box on. Ba-
taria was nabbed by the Portland
officers while he was opening
the empty case.

not been trying to do this the
chauffeur would have kept his
nerve and saved the machine from
accident.
Yet though the chicken caused
the accident the chickens act was
not in itself violent or dangerous.
This chicken would doubtless have
made a tender broiler; it was gen.
tie and inoffensive, and not being
ferae naturae its destruction of the
automobile was unconscious and
free from malice. Therefore the
chicken not having exceeded its
common law rights the action
could not be maintained, and
judgment was accordingly entered
for the defendant.

as manager. He says he will abso-
lutely refuse to serve unless he
can be manager and get his pay
