Thin Folks Made Plump
Samose Ideal Flesh Builder Says
Druggist James O'DOnneIl.

Thin people are simply suffering from
want of nourishment!
If you are thin, II Is because the food
you eat Is not assimilated and passes
through the system without building up
the flesh and tissue as II should.
You can readily get plump and rosy
by using Samose a tissue forming food
which when taken with meals, i'm
nediately becomes a flesh building and
life saving element In the blood.
Use SamoSe for few days and in
crease of life, vigor and weight is felt
and you will notice yourself getting
plump and rosy.
Samose builds up the system, puts
flesh on the bones. brings back the glow
of health to the pallid cheek and re-
moves the tired and languid feeling
which is the result of exhaustion and
low vitality.
Jas. O.Donnell is introducing Sanose
to his customers and recommends il
highly, he gives the best proof of his
belief that Samcse will do all that is
claimed for it by offering to refund the
money If it fails to increase the weight
and restore good health.

MIR. BRYAN's WARNING.

Eight years ago. Mr.. Bryan was
warned in letter written by Third
Assistant Postmaster General Madden
mat publications given away too pro.
miscuously. or circulated chiefly IN rho

tlon, were not entitled to the second

out yesterday in the hearing before
the House Committee on Post Office
expenditures. and was noted bv the
present Third Assistant Postmaster
General. one Britt. by name. 10 sbow

toward the Womans National Daily

by prejudice, and that the PROCEEDINGS
against the Lewis companies ware :,

established precedent.
In view of the fact that Mr. Brvan.s

SENATOR FRYE

William p. Frye. United States Sena-

years, died yesterday in Washington.

years, forty-two of which were spent
in the service of his State at the Ma

the House OF Representatives. in which
body he sat for twelve years or in
the Senate. where he served for thirty
years.
Mr. Frye was n lawyer by profess
sion. a Republican in politics. one of
the last and best of the older school
of his party. He was also partisan
of the stand pat type. esteeming his
party above his country, always, how
ever. as we have believed. because he
thought that his party was essential
to the prosperity of his country; but
in spite of his sectional and political
views, we think 1t can be truthfuliy

death is a public loss.
