HOW TO GET FAT.
Use samOse, Says Druggist O'Donnea
and Put On Good Flesh.

Use samose, Says Druggist O'Donneh
and Put On Good Flesh.
The almost universal interest in
physical culture is the best evidence
that can be offered as to the need OF
a simple and scientific method OF
making trim people fat, increasing
strength and restoring health.
Athletics, when carried to an ex-
trcme, often result in straining the
vital organs. How much better II
would be for the average person TO
regain reaIth, strength, and nesh by
using Samose. This flesh forming roeA
is assimilated as soon as IL enters tAs
stomach; It helps the organs to as
similate the food and extract the flesh
forming clements: 1t builds up the
muscle and rounds out the limbs into
shapely plumpness.
SanICse las been SO successful in
making thin PEOPLE fat and res.ortng
the weak and run down to strength
and health that James ODonnell, the
popular druggist sells 1t under his
personal guarantee to refund the
money If II does not beneftt.
An offer like this certainly shows
remarkable faith in the powers OF
Samose to do all that Is claimed for It.
20 one should suffer any longer from
a thin, rundown condition, now that
Samosc's remarkable powers are
known. Sent postpaid on receipt OF

MOROCCO, LAND
WHERE FAT WOMEN
TAKE THE HONORS
Slender Femininity Laughed
at Where Avoidupois Is
Mark of Beauty.

In this country, outside Of the muse
ums, very fat women are not very at
tractfve. Admiration has gone to the
slender woman, even to the one with
the waspish waist, laced in as small
as the stomach. liver, and few other
superhuous organs will allow. But the
fat woman has been passed by, and her
more slender. graceful sister has carried
on the laures for beauty OF feminine
figure.
But In the land of the Moors things
are exactly reversed. There the fat
woman reigns supreme. The slender
woman ts passed by with q look Of pity
or contempt. According to the Moorish
idea OF beauty, q really handsome wom-
an ought tobe SO fat that she can
only waddle. Eot walk. The fatter she
ls the more beautiful she Is considered
III she can attain two or three hundred
pounds of flesh. she Is considered a
dainty damsel. and Is the envy OF all
The Moorish shape. II shape It can be
called, approaches the perfection Of
feminine beauty when II resembles or
rather exceeds the circumference Of q
barrel. or some other large measure.
What q paradise for the fat womani
to her hearts content. DENYING herself
nothing. living an easy, indolent, luxu-
rious life with no horror of accumula-
ting fat, but rather rejoicing In 1t. for
every pound OF superfiuous avoirdupois
she can gain only adds that much to
her beauty.
There the ambition Of q woman is to
acquire bulk. She spends no time try
ing to reduce her waist measure with
harmful corsets, but she let's 1t expand
and go its own sweet way. Physical
culture she would regard as an enemy
to beauty, and to take Turkish baths
and diet herself would be considered the
height of folly. She wants to be beau
tiful, and to be beautiful she must be
fat-Exchange.

HALF OUR RICE CROP
RAISED IN THE ARID
LANDS OF TEXAS
Ten Years Ago There Was
Not a Single Rice Farm
in the State.

Half the annual rice crop Of the
United States Ia raised in the arid lands
In Texas. The popular belief is that
marshy ground is required to raise rice
successfully, but enterprising farmers
have demonstrated that the rich loan
of the Texas coast is for this purpose
superior 10 the rice lands of Louisiana
or North Carolina.
Ten years ago there was not a single
lice farm in Texas. Today there are
10000 acres devoted to rice cultivation.
The rice belt extends across the south
ern part of Louisiana AMI follows the
gulf coast for several hundred miles.
Lake Charles. Jennings and Crowley
have been the most famous rice dis
tTlcts In Louisiana, but Fort Bend,
Wharton, Matagera and Brazoria coun-
ties In Texas produce a better quality
at a lower cost
The rice crop is much like the wheat
crop. and a good wheat farmer makes
good rice grower. The farm machin-
cry used in the wheat fields in the
Northwest is adapted to the rice lands
In Texas, and but little OF the cultiva-
tlon Is done by hand, as in Oriental
countries.
Each acre needs six gallons Of water
a minute, so If man has 10000 acres
under cultivation he needs $4,000 gallons

hood or drain of the fields. From two
to three inches Of water Is kept on the
rice from the time 1t comes up until
1t is ready to harvest.
The question Of drainage fs also OF
great Importance. Upon the prompt re-
moval CT water from the fields depends
the plowing, the sowing and harvesting
at the proper time, and frequently the
sowing of other crops after harvesting.
One man can cultivate 100 acres, and
for this reason the profits are large.
The cost of raising rice is from 81 to
twelve to eighteen bags Of rough rice,
which sells from g to $3.S5 a bag. A
bag contains l62 pounds. Two crops can
be raised on the same land In a single
year. The second crop alone pays the
expense of cultivation for the entire
year, leaving the first, or larger crop,
as clear profit. Nowhere else In
America is 1t possible to raise two crops
of rice a year on the same land. II
second crop of rice is not raised, a win

SCIENCE DISCOVERS
NEW PURIFIER OF
CITY WATER SUPPLY
Ultra Violet Rays Destroy
Bacilli--French Ex- +
periments.

One of the greatest problems which
scientific men are at present called upon
to solve is that Of controlling the water
supply of municipalities so that II shall
be rendered free from pathogenic eac-
terta, Many chemical methods, based
on the addition of chlorine, ozone, and
other substances, are in use. but there
is always a strong popular prejudice
against adding any chemical to drinking
water.
Recently attempts to srerilize water
simply by exposure to ultraviolet rays
have been made with some success.
Ultraviolet rays are invisible radiations
Of the same nature as visible light rays,
present in the radiant energy received
from the sun, but most of them are alb
sorbed by the atmosphere.
Available sources of ultraviolet light
are the various forms Of electric dis
charge, such as the arc, the mercury
vapor lamp, and the spark. Glass Is
opaque to these radiations, while quartz
transmits them readily. Water. too, Is
fairly opaque unless free from color ana
suspended matter. SO that filtration Is a
necessary preliminary wherever TINS
condition does not exist.
1t has long been known that these
ultra violet radiations destroy bacteria
subjected to their action. and all living
cells are strongly aHecteo Dy lnehl:
During the last three years number OF
French investigators have been at work
to mako use of this fact to sterilize
water on a large scale
In an experimental run at Marseilles'
water was flowed through a tank so as
to pass over a quartz box containing
Westinghouse Cooper-Hewitt quartz
mercury lamp operating on three am
peres and 220 volts. This operated sue
cessfully day and night for about six
weeks, treating 600 cubic meters per
twenty-four hours. During the test the
raw water varied from 30 to 300 bac-
terra per cubic centimeter, with 80 to
] 900 colon bacilli per hour, indicating
distinct pollution.
After treatment, no colon bacilli were
ever found and a potable water of the
highest character was obtained. The
energy consumption was 100 kilowatt
hours per 100000 gallons, and the cost
80 per 100000 gallons. Very recently
the cost has been reduced to $3.50 per
100000 gallons, but even this is too
costly. according to American ideas:
Nevertheless, the cost is not far out or
range, and these experiments make II
highly probable that with some further
Improvement, this method Of steriliza-
ton will soon be made applicable to
American conditicls.-New York Sun.

W|CKERSHAM WILL
KEEP FIGHTING HIS
FOE OF SAME NAME
Feud Between Alaska Dele
gate And Attorney Gen.
eral To Go On!

Closely related to the famous epistle
Of 'Dick to Dick is that other striking
Alaskan incident OF wick VS.. Wick"
The trouble between the Attorney Gen.
eral and Delegate James Wickersham
from Alaska brought the Wickersham
family into the Nmelight, and 1t Is going
to keep them there for quite a spell.
Although he doesn't even have a vote
In Congress, Delegate Wickersham has
managed to keep himself very close to
the center of disturbance most OF the
time since he has been representing
Alaska He is the sole elected repre-
sentative of a Territory as big as the
United States was when II achieved IN
dependence. He has been scrapping for
his people, and they scrap for him.
The National Administration has been
on his trail ever since Mr.. Taft became
President; before that, he was a favor'te
at the White House, for Colonel Roose-
Welt liked him. Rather a curious SHIFT
of fortunes. Colonel Roosevelt fought
for wickersham. and the Senate re-
tected him when he was nominated for
his second term as Federal Judge IN
Alaska. Then Mr.. Taft came, and Mr..
Wickersham lost the White House sup
port, but gained strength at the Capitol.
They take him mighty seriously there
now. when Alaska affairs are consid-
cred.
Has Lots of Opposition.
Mr.. wickersham has had the Interior
Department, the patronage authorities,
the President, the Alaska Syndicate, the
Republican national committee, the
Alaska grafters-everybody except the
people UP there-hghting him from the
day he entered Congress. But he keeps
on winning, because the people believe
in him.
This is Mr.. wickersham's fifty-fourth
birthday anniversary.
He was born in Illinois In 1857, ad-
mitted to the bar-that is. TO practice
law, for he doesn't practice at the other
bar at aIl-in 1880, and moved TO Wash
ington State. He served as city at
torney of Tacoma, probate Judge OF
Pierce county, member in the Leg1s-
lature, and finally Federal Judge for
Alaska's Third district He got into
trouble with the grafters, and Roose-
Welt decided that he was Just the man
for the job, and nominated him for
second term. But the grafters got"
him: they prevented his confirmation.
and after a determined fight for two
years and repeated recess appointments
Roosevelt withdrew his nomination.
