THIN FOLKS MADE PLUMP
Samose Ideal Flesh Builder Says Drug
gist D. F. Davis.

Thin people are simply suffering from
want OF nourishment!
If you are thin, it is because the food
you eat is not assimilated and passes
through the system without building up
the flesh and tissue as it should.
/, You can readily get plump and rosy
by using samose. a tissue forming food
which when taken with the meals, inn
mediately becomes flesh building and
life giving element in the blood.
Use Samoe for few days and in
crease of life, vigor and weight is felt
and you will notice yourself getting
plump and rosy.

AMERIcus DID WELL
And Almost Threw His Heavier oppo-

New York, May 4.-Americus, the
Baltimore wrestler, more than held his
own against the Polish champ, zbyseoo,
in match at the st. Nicholas rink
here last night. Zbysco undertook to
throw the Baltimore man within an
hour, but failed to do so. In fact, the
Pole, with his apparent advantage Vim
strength, was kept on the defensive
more than half the time by his op.
ponent's scientific tactics.
After seven minutes of wrestling
Americas threw Zbysco over his head,
as he did at Baltimore recently but
could not pin him down.

furthermore we cannot fail to see the
advantage which these quarres shonld
have in the crushed rock markets over
those quarries which are conducted ex-
sIusively for the production of crushed
rock, as the former should be able to
save large part of the expense in
blasting, quarrying and handling, which
the latter has to maintain, The re-
cent railroad changes in Barre and the
proposed waterfront at Quincy should
help greatly to solve this problem at
those centers, while in many other

The exposition worked for two years
on a large scale beginning at the vii
lage of Sloan, which lies at the
southeast end OF Jerusalem on the
southern slope of the Mount of Olives
overlooking the valley of Kedron and
the pool OF Sloan. The explorers are
credited with having excayated a pass
age from the pool OF Sloan toward the
place where once stood Solomon's
temple, built in 1912, B c., pillaged
and restored and finally destroyed by
Titus, A d. 20. Failing to reach the
relics sought in this manner, the ex-
plorers, according to the alleged CON
LESSONS of the guards Of the mosque,
bribed the guards, entered the mosque,
and after digging on six nights, spirited
away the treasures, "the whereabouts
of which," says an Arabic paper, none
knew except God and these English, !"

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
4 Second Appeal for the Conservation of
 Moisture by-6altiyation.

Last week we discussed the sub. ject of moisture conservation and the value of shallow cultivation This subject is of so much import ance that we again call attention to it.
 Some plants, melons for in- stance. are o8 per cent water. Water is about z5 per cent of the vegetable kingdom. The plant gets it's water through it's roots. There is a constant stream of wat CT entering the small roots of the plant and passing up into the plant itself The plant food is carried up into the plant by this stream of water. The food is used in the growth of the plant The water escapes into thaN air, thus making room for another stream of water carrying more plant food. Thus it lis seen that great quantity of water is needed if we grow large crops.
 At this season of the year both the subsol and surface soil are stored with moisture. Soon the moisture in the surface soil will evaporate. The suhsoil. will re- main moist for a much longer time. although 1t will continually lose moisture which passes up to the surface where it evaportes. If this is allowed to occur. the soil will not contain a sufficient amount of moisture during the dry season. Water comes to the surface in the same way that oil rises in the wick of the lamp.
 We must help the soil to retain as much as possible of the moisture which it now has. We can do this by means of a trap Find a plank lying on the ground The top is dry. When the plank is turned over, the upturned side is found to be moist. The soil mois- ture has risen to the top of the ground but the plank prevents it's evaporation We cannot place blanks all over our fields. but we can create a dust mulch. The dust mulch will retain the moisture in the soil just as the plank keeps moisture under it. The finer the particles composing the dust mulch the better the mulch can do it's work.

One Cent Letter Postage.

A statement in the Bookseller as to the movement to secure one cent letter postage give some of the reasons why one cent letter postage is just and reasonable and should be granted:
 First. Because the govern ment is making an enormous profit from first-class mail. In 1909. the government realized a profit of over $55.OOO,OOO which, in 1910, it is estimated had increased to about $5o. 100000 on frst-class mail It lost heavily, however. on other branches of the service.
 Second. Because the depart ment is at present receiving a rev enue of about 84 cents per pound for letter postage, the cost of con veying which is less than half that sum. The profit is over 66 per cent.
 Third. Because first-class mail is less than l2 , per cent of the tonnage carried. though it pays over 66 per cent of the total reve-
 
 nue of the department. '
