it appears to the spectator that the
chariots are moving over the ground.
To give proper perspective TO this
effect the speed at which the belts
are driven ure gradually decreased

able gearing IS provided for driving
these belts, which are actuated by an
Independent motor. The belts them
selves are carried on puIleys. which
are mounted on housings which may
be readily placed in position when
the scene is set. For connecting the

are placed Immediately beneath the
stage and are covered by sections of
planking which are removed and car
ried out to the wings when the race
IS to take place. There are eight
treadmiiIs, one for each horse, and
the horses are brought up from the
stables, a few blocks away. a short
time before they are needed, and
they take their places with the art
lists and supernumerarics awaiting
their cue to go upon the stage. They
seem to take huge delight in the per-
Torrance, and seem to know to the
minute the time when they are to
run.
The chariots are two in number
and each is drawn by four horses.
and each chariot is provided with a
pole. The chariot of Ben-Hur is not
a trick chariot. but that OF MESSIAH

THE FATNESS OF HEALTH
Samose Fills Out the Curves and
Makes Thin People Fat.

If YOU are thin, your health is not
what ii should be. If you are losing
weight steadily there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once You cannot he healthy and
strong If YOU are thin.
Perfect health and good solid heauti-
full flesh can only come through the
use of Samose, the remarkable flesh
forming food.
This makes the thin and scrawny,
plump and robust; 1t mixes with the
food so that all of the elements that
make solid bone, firm muscle and good
flesh are thoroughly assimilated and
retained in the system.
Samose is not drug or stimulant;
it is a scientific flesh forming food that
restores thin people TO a normal condl-
tion of good, healthy flesh.
These statements are confirmed by
Schramm johnson. Drugs, who offer to re.
fund the money TO anyone buying and
using Samosc who does not gain in
weight as promised. Tho risk is all
theirs. The thin and scrawny can buy

is not successful it will cost absolutely
nothing.
