THE THIN AND WEAK.
Easy Way for Them to Get Strong
and Fat.

Samose is not an ordinary medi-
cine; it is a flesh forming food that
Is adapted to the most delicate. It's
tonic effect gives strength and health
so that after its use for a short time,
all the flesh and fat producing ele-
ments in the food will be easily as
simulated and retained by the body.
The large sale Druggist Koeppens
have had on Samose since they first
introduced 1t in Pendleton and the
wonderful results following its use
have made them such enthusiastic
believers in its great merits, that they
give their personal guarantee to re-
fund the money II Samose does not
make thin people fat and restore
strength and health.
When a gain in weight is noticed
after Samose has been used for week
or ten days, and health has improved
and you notice yourself growing
stronger, you certainly should feel
more than satisfied with what you
have received from the small cost Of

Slaughter of Animals May Be Pro-

Moscow.-Women will have to look
to Canada and Saghalien for their furs
in years to come, according to the
latest Russian information on the sup
plies left in the Cars dominions
Gradually the remnants of the fur
bearing animals in Russian territor-
les are being driven to the northeast.
with the development of the outly-
ing region the determination of wild
life is being carried to such an extent
that the government is being petiti-
oned to order close season at certain
times of the year.
To show how young cubs are slau-
ghtered it is only necessary to state
that in Tobolisk alone $4,000 are
caught annually and only 10000 full
grown foxes.
In the north the timber trade has
attracted lumbermen in such num-
bers that forest animals are retreat
ing Thus the sable is becoming more
and more difficult to secure and pri-
ces are mounting higher because
Russian fur dealers are competing
for the hunters captures. In the last
season, even in extreme regions. ma
tive hunters often made as much as
$3.50 for sable alone, while white fox
skins sold up to as much as 80 each

DOCTOR REPENTS HIS
EFFERvESCENT WIT
NURSES IN HIGH DUDGEON
REFUSE TO ASSIST HIM
Doctor r. J. Marsh of Portland Jest
ingly Refers TO Graduate Nurses as
the 'Idle Rich"-Indignation Meet
ing Results and Doctor Is i'm Di-
lemma.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 2s-In a nurse
idle? Should she be called rich?
Upon these two apparently unim-
portant points. DR. r. J. Marsh of
this city and the trained hospital
graduate nurses have come to words
words that seem to grow in emphasis
as they are uttered. And as the days
pass the gap between the nurses and
the popular and prominent surgeon
seems to widen.
DR.. Marsh is something Of a wit, is
occasionally inclined TO an epigram
a smart saying or what-not.
The nurses have appreciated these
sayings very much-particularly when
they were uttered during the monot-
ony of a long operation in the Good
Samaritan hospital surgery, but the
other morning they think the doctor
overstepped the limit.
Someone mentioned the graduate
nurses There were no graduate
nurses present, but a lot who had not
graduated. "why, they ought to be
called the 'idle-rich.'" DR.. Marsh ex-
pressed himself.
Now that was all very we'll The
dear little hospital nurses liked that
believed II in fact. And they
thought 1t good enough to retail and
they retailed the story to the very
nurses concerned, those who had
graduated from the institution.
Then there was trouble. The grad
yates met. A fluffy little dark-haired
girl the other girls called Esther
took the informal chair. Let us
promise never to work for DR.. Marsh
any more" she almost screamed, her
voice vibrant with indignation
Lets" added Pauline"
And war was declared. And now
DR.. Marsh is literally up stump. He
has many patients. He wants nurses
The nurses don't see it that way-a'
least until Marsh apologies and a!
he has done that until he is almos
black in the face he don't know wha
further he can do.
That's the way things stand thii
morning The doctor almost frantic
the nurses just as placid and swee
as ever.
