Paul G. Schulz & Son Advise Thin
Folks TO Use Samose.

While thinness may not be dis,
ease, yet it is in reality condition
that needs attention. Under the nour-
ishing power of Samose healthy, nat
ural flesh will soon be attained.
This remarkable fleshforming food
strengthens the system generally and
builds up the flesh tissues so that
good, natural plumpness results.
An ounce OF flesh is better than a
pound of theory. Paul G. Schulz &
Sons believe that the best possible
demonstration of the fleshforming
powers of Samose is TO have it tried
by their customers, and TO induce
them to use 1t, they offer to pay for
the Samose IN case ii does not give
satisfaction. No stronger proof than
this can be given of their faith in il.
They have seen hundreds who were
weak thin and scrawny, become
plump, robust and strong, solely
through the use of Samose. Ten days
treatment 50c.

The list of States now using convict
labor on the highways is too long to
mention In detail, says Popular Me-
ehanics, but Colorado. New Mexico

construct great highway which will
run through the three States, and
Washington, Oregon, North Carolina

States have gangs at work.

dreaded by any convict who has had
a taste of open work means that his
