RESTORE PLEASING PLUMPNEss

"No Cure No Pay" Plan.

There are good many people in
condition 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 we'll In nine
cases out of ten this condition can be
readily overcome by using the combi-
nation 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 restoring the pleasing plumpness
that is so desirable.
Before the discovery of Samose,
people who were thin, weak and run
down were advised to take some nau-
seous preparation of cod liver oil, but
now with this flesh forming food in
palatable form nothing at all disagree
able is necessary to gain weight.
Koeppen Bros. have the agency for
this preparation and sell it with the
promise that II it does not do all that
is claimed for 1t in making people
gain in weight and in health, the mon
ey will be refunded.
You certainly can afford to try a
soc box on this plan. as Samose will
cost you nothing unless 1t gives salts

The sayings OF old Gordon Graham are
not so frequently In the public mouth as
they were a few years ago but neverthe-
less they have lost none OF their point.
He understood human nature so well that
hey will be pertinent to men and things a
hundred years from now.
Tn one of his famous letters to his son,
he said CLOTHES may not make the man,
but they make about all of him. except
his hands and feet, during business hours,
and that's a considerable portion Of the
human animal"
1t is a bit of advice useful to the busi-
ness woman as well as the business man.
1t is not commended that clothes VIII 90

II one has strong letters OF introduction,

without these a person should wear sue

One can look all about him and see

From the London Evening Standard.
Lord Crewe made a very interesting
little speech yesterday at the annual
meeting of the Atlantic Union, q So
ciety which works for the Improvement
OF Anglo american cordially, and to
the relations between Englishmen and
men Of other nations generally. He
said that one grave cause of interna-
tional misunderstanding was our mo-
torious stiffness of demeanor," and he
referred to that delightful drawing by
Du Maurier In Punch, in which the
table d'hote Of q foreign hotel In the
slack season vas depicted as populated
only by two Englishmen, sitting at op-
posite ends OF the table, glaring speech
lesly at each other. All that he said
was true enough. We are undemon-
.strative. We are not men and brothers

and as we shall be when Robert Burns

be allowed to say so, we can hardly

howl to the How do, sonny?" of an
Ontario mine manager. He would
probably smile charmingly, bow most
courteously and extend a friendly
hand; but the colonist would take all
that for GOODNESS, and the Atlantic
Union would have to explain.

CHAPTER XII.
Madness Becomes Frenzy.

In a moment, the casks were broach-
ed, and the liquor, in whatever recep-
tacles were at hand, was passed
around from mouth to eager mouth.
Nc one made the slightest attempt to
husband it, and 1t was soon pouring
down over the steps in little purple
rivulets. The faces Of the crowd, as
the fiaring torches and dancing flames
revealed them, became more and more
inhuman, their shouts hoarser and
more m~enacing, their actions more and
more bestial, until I felt my cheeks
grow hot at the thought that these
creatures belonged to humankind. Truly
long centuries In the darkness had
rendered them unfit for the light!
Drunken couples reeled hither and
thither, shouting incoherently; wom-
en-. forgetting their sex. pursued such
men as made a pretense of escaping:
"a half-naked girl, mounted astride q
cask. shouted coarse tests at six or
eight scOundrels who were going
through the p%retense Of a mass.
The Goddess Of Reason!" said M.
lie Comte, his eyes dwelling upon this
group; and. indeed. at that moment.

That an ignoble or unworthy purpose

ing. TIL highway of life Is strewn with
the wrecks of those who have followed
ignoble ambitions. But one may choose a
worthy purpose and yet his life come to

But one can choose worthily and yet

h is quite true. A busy man doesn't
stop to listen to the credentials OF a
stranger II his first impression Is that she
is not what he wants.
The superintendent in large stores
glances over the little army Of applicants
and mentally puts aside as not worth con-
sidering the girl who Is careless and I'M

A really clever. brilliant man secured an

He was distinctly shabby, not to say
"seedy." He looked as II he belonged to

Since these conditions are there no use
in ignoring them. Wise is the business

to overcome them. 1t hurts oneself, but
does little harm to the wall.

clerk. other things being equal, Is the
one who stays IL the force Is cut down.
1t Is as natural for the world to like
cheerfulness as II Is for 1t to like sun
shine. They are practically one and
the same thing.
Since. then, cheerfulness is an asset,
IL Is worth while to cultivate 1t. One
never knows just when 1t will prove
valuable. This man, of whom the
storekeeper speaks, probably does not
know that part Of his salary Is due to
his happy disposition. The girl who
is not laid off doesn't realize perhaps
cast the balance In her favor. The girl
who is invited to jolly house parties
may not be aware that 1t Is her uni
form good nature that makes her a ia
vorite with hostesses.
Not only is good nature a valuable
asset in business and social life, but
1t has q beneficial reflex action upon
ones self. The girl who cultivates
sunniness is better physically for 1t.
and Is happier as well. Cheerfulness
has a good effect physically upon one.
IL benefits digestion and nerves. Every
one knows the effect Of a case of the
blues upon appetite. When one Is blue.
or sullen, or grouchy, one Is apt to have
dyspepsia and to get irritable.
The cheerful person certainly gets
more happiness out Of life than the
gloomy, respondent m Work goes
lightly with the cheerful, 1t Is a bur-
dent to the gloomy. The cheerful per-
son sees pleasure all about. the gloomy
one sees II nowhere.
There Is q big truth worth ponder
ing over In the fact OF this mans re-
ceiving more money because Of his
cheerfulness than he otherwise would.
II is a trait to be cultivated the same
as any other business qualification.
In addition, 1t LAS value outside Of
the business world.
