LET'S SWAT THE swATrER.
Judge W. II. Smith Says Fly Is Much
Abused Insect.

Judge w. r. Smith, solicitor for the
Santa Fe, is not in sympathy with the
war on the house fly. He says:
'In my opinion, the fly is the most
slandered insect in existence. The
crusade now carried on for his de-
struction will be short lived. The
theory that his presence is a menace to
health will take it's place with the
exploded idea, prevalent some years
ago and exploited by many eminent
scientists, that the rays of the sun,
refracted by blue glass, stimulate hui
man and plant life.
1.-The fly, in proportion to his bulk,
is the most Industrious and efficient
scavenger known. He devours with
rapacity filth and decayed matter, in
furious to health, and never splits.
BalG-headed men are beset and pes
tered by flies more than any other
class of human beings. There is no
record of any case showing that the
CLASSY pates of these victims, bereft
of hair, were ever inoculated with
harmful bacteria. These persons
sneer at the mortality tables fixing
the expectancy of life, and live far be-
yond the time allotted to them by the
actuaries.
Ten years from now Doe. Crum-
bine will be running incubators night
and day, in every county in Kansas,
Matching out flies eggs by the million,
for the prosecution of which bene-
ficent work the legislature will have
made liberal appropriations in the in
terest of public health. 1 think the
swatter should be swatted."

"sHORT'' CAUSES "CORNER" QUIZ
Sims Declines to Admit That Govern

Chicago. June THE recent "cor-
ner" in May wheat is under inves-
tigation by United States District At
torney Sims, according to report
circulated among brokerage offices
yesterday.
1t is said that certain short" in

wheat.

is non-committal in regard to the
matter.

about it at this time. 1t would mean

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

If you are thin, your health is not
what it should be. If you are losing
weight steadily there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once. You cannot be healthy and
strong if you are thin.
Perfect health and good, solid beau
tifuI flesh can only come through the
use of Samose, the remarkable flesh
forming food.
Samose is not a drug or a stimulant:
it is a scientific flesh forming food
that restores thin people to a nor
nal condition of good healthy flesh.
These statements are confirmed by
George w. Stansfield, who offers to re-
fund the money to anyone buying and
using Samose who does not gain in
weight as promised. The risk is all
his. The thin and scrawny can buy
Samose at Druggist George w. STAINS
fields store, with the knowledge that
If it is not successful it will cost alb
solutely nothing.

Many Bedding People in Poor Health

Without Knowing the Cause
There are scores of people who drag
out q miserable existance without re.
alizing the cause of their suffering.
Day after day they are racked with
backache and headache; suffer from
nervousness, dizziness, weakness, Ian
guor and depression. Likely the kim
neys have fallen behind in their work
of filtering the blood and that is the
root of the trouble. Look TO your kid
neys, assist them in their work-give
them the help they need. You can use
no better remedy than Doan's Kidney
Pills-endorsed by over one hundred
thousand people, and by your neighbors

Pills have been used in my home with
great benefit. A member of the family
was greatly troubled by backache and
sharp pains through the kindneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills were finally pro-
cured at Connell's Drug Store and IT
did not take them long to bring relief.
