Remarkable Record
FIesh-Forming Food That Succeed.
Nearly Every Time.

Nearly Every Time.
A man or woman might as well
starve outright as to take food into
the stomach and not have it assimi-
lated, yet in Spokane, as well as in
every other town and city, there
are many people who are thin, pale
and seem underfed, simply because
the food they eat is not assimilated,
and fails to make good blood and
firm flesh.
Samose, the wonderful flesh
forming food, taken before or after
meals, mingies with the food, so
that it is assimilated by the system
and makes rich blood and pleasing
plumpness. No one can use it for
week or ten days without a
noticeable gain in weight.
Anyone who is thin, weak,
scrawny and emaciated can put
soc on deposit with Murgittroyd
and take home a box. of Samose.
If the treatment does not eive a
noticeable Increase in good, firm
flesh and restore strength and
health, they will return the money
without any questions.

Should Wives
be Wage Farmers
Eastern Professor Says That They Should
Others Differ From Him-fiome is but
a Stopping Place Without Wife in
Charge Say I hey.

An eastern professor wants wives
to be wage-earners as we'll as their
husbands This is true in many cas-
es-but it perhaps does not promote
the highest forms of domestricity for
both husband and wife to be absent
from their residence. In most cas-
|es-instead of home-they- have a
mere boarding place.
The woman who supervises her
husband home-actually does the
cooking and the thousand and one
other. things certainly does her
share of bearing the burden-just as
much as If she worked every day
for wages.
Probably the professor had one of
those wives who were highly "cul-
tured" but couldn't fry eggs. In that
case-if he couldn't get a divorce
he might send her out as a stenog-
Irapher and employ hired girl.

Thousand Delegates Attend Important Meeting Resolutions
Passed Commencing the Action Of u. S. Senator McCumber

The county organization of the A.
s. of E held . convention at Kenmare
Thursday, which was attended by
about thousand delegates. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted,
which are most timely and interest
ing:
Resolved, That we, the Ward coun-
ty Union, A. S. OF E., in convention as
sembled at Kenmare this oath day Of
June, do hereby condemn the meth
DDS used by the -four mills when they
first made durum -four. In that when
they saw that in making good durum
-four It would soon have taken the
place of the patent flour to a large
extent, they made the flour from the
poorest spring wheat and labeled It
"macaroni flour" in order to discour-
age the use of the same. We main
tain that the millers of this country
are now using unfair discrimination
against durum. We therefore be-
lieve that now is the time to take
definite action, and should the mil
lers still refuse to make good durum
-four, that we take steps to erect
flour mills at central points and grind
durum wheat into a first class flour
and supply the demand that already
exists, and further that we take suit
able means to advertise the merits of
the -four in the large cities.
Resolved, That we believe the
wasteful destruction Of flax straw
should cease, and that the straw
should be manufactured into linen
fabrics to supply first our home
trade, and then the business should
be extended from time to time so as
to supply the markets Of the entire
We believe that We should
take active steps toad in the cree.
ton of linen mills that will agree to
buy fax straw from members OF
this society exclusively, and put the
farmers label on the finished pro-
duct. That we request companies
for the purpose of build
ing linen mills to create an advisory
board, a majority of said board to
be composed of members of this So
ciety, and that members of this So
ciety shall have the first opportunity
to purchase stock.
Resolved, That we believe that
many of the farm lands of this coun-
" are underlaid with coal, and that
this coal can best be used by con-
verting the coal into water gas,
and using the same for manufacture
ing purposes, thus making market
Tor the coal on the farm, developing
