LEGACY FOR UNCLE Joe"

But He Is Somewhat SkepticaI
and Hasn't Joined the

If Uncle Joe Cannon had a lively imasi-
nation and were credulous besides he'd
be a real plutocrat this morning. For
yesterday he received letter from King,
King & Co. bankers of Bombay, India,
notifying him that a woman client of
theirs-whose name is mentioned in the
letter-having been warned by her physi-
clans that she had less than six months
to live had deposited with them her will.

Joseph c. Cannon of Danville. H. is

FOR THE THIN AND SCRAWNY
SamOse VIII Make YOu Plump and
Rosy, Says DR.. Howard Company.

II you are getting thin, you are
sick. although you may not know IT.
If you are losing weight steadily,
there is something wrong that needs
looking after II you have always
been thin it doesn't follow that you
are sick but, you may not be healthy.
You cannot be strong if you are thin.
Try then TO be healthy and plump;
ii is not difficult if you know how.
The only way to increase the
weight and gain health and flesh is by
using Samose, the standard flesh
forming food and tissue builder. Il
mingles with the food you eat and is
assimilated so that all the flesh form
ing and tissue building elements of
the food are retained in the system.
This explains the great value of
Samose.

When You Break Cut Glass,

An accident to cut glass invariably
plunges the owner Of it into clouds Of
gloom, but often these clouds have sill
yer Innings. Before throwing the
pieces away examine each piece sep
arately and see If it could be cut down
into anything smaller. Shops which
deal in cut glass usually have cutter
on the premises. A case is told of a
bride who upon entering the dining
room arrived in time to see. but not
prevent. her maid from pulling instead
of pushing the extension table. and as
1t separated In the middle several
pieces of valuable cut glass which had
been placed there during the cleaning
time fell through with crash to the
floor. 1t seemed hopeless accident.

I HOPEFUL MESSAGE TO SCALP
SUFFERERS AND MEN WHO'S
HAIR IS THINNING.

Dandruff now-bald later. The
same is true of scalp diseases. In
fact badness is q scalp disease. The
trouble with the greasy salves and
lotions, the so-called dandruff and
scalp cures you have tried so far is
that they don't do anything but tenn
porarily relieve the itching and cake
the dandruff so it doesn't fall until
its dried out again. Nothing can
cure-really cure such troubles but
a real scalp medicine that will kill
the germs causing dandruff and scalp
disease.
Learning from leading fellow
druggists throughout America that
they had found a whirlwind cure for
dandruff, eczema and all diseases of
the skin and scalp the City Drug
Store on proving to the laboratories
compounding the treatment that it
is the most prominent drug store in
this city secured the agency for the
remedy. This remedy is ZEMO, the
clean, liquid preparation that kills
the germ of disease and ZEMO SOAP
to wash the scalp or skin clear and
clean of the dandruff or scale and by
it's antiseptic qualities soothe and
heal.
