RESTORES PLEASING PIUMPNFSS
Samose Sold Under "Jas. 0'DonneI, No
Cure No Pay" Plan.

There are a good many people in
Washington who ardently wish they
could find some way of getting fat
and plump. While not i'll. yet they are
SO thin and scrawny that their friends
think they cannot be we'll In nine
cases out OF ten this condition can
be readily overcome by using the
combination of fiesh-forming foods
known as Samose. This little tablet
taken three times a day with the food
does wonders In building up good
health and restoring the pleasing
plumpness that is so desirable.
Before the discovery of Samose, peo-
pie who were thin, weak and run down
were advised to take some nauseous
preparation of cod liver Oil, but now
with this flesh forming food in pala-
table form nothing at all disagreeable
is necessary to gain weight
James O'Donnell has the agency for
this preparation and sells 1t with the
promise that II II does not do all
that Is claimed for 1t In making
people gain in weight and in health,
the money will be refunded.
You certainly can AFFORD to try soc
box on this plan. as Samose will cost
you nothing unless IL gives satisfac-
tion. Sent postpaid on receipt OF

FOWLS ARE DYING
PROBABLY OF SHAME
OVER "TURKEYTROT'
At Least, Government At
tributes No Other Causes
for Cumberland Losses.

Maybe the turkeys in the vicinity of
Cumberland. Md. said to be dying in
large quantities, are being put to death
from shame. by the recently discovered
turkey trot," the new dance which has
the country in its grasp. The turkey
trot," which promises to outshine the
"Cubanola glide" and the grizzly bear
bump" may have struck Cumberland
and caused the great carnage in turkey
dom in that quarter.
At least the Department of Agricul-
ture can attribute no other cause for
the large number OF deaths of fowls
said to be daily occurring in that part
Of Maryland.
According to Washington produce
men, the Virginia turkey supply prom
ises to be larger this year than for sew
eral years. Indications are that the
prices will be lower this year than last.
There is no doubt but that the sup
ply will be larger this year than last"
