1T GOT MoNoToNoUs.

A yellow negro out in Kansas City
decided that by barbering in the day
time and fighting at night he could
easily attain a great wealth. His first
essay in pugilism was against shifty
black with good ring record. At the
tap Of the bell the black professional
planted a straight left on the anna
tours nose, and repeated the process
some hundred times. BY a super
human effort the yellow barber came
to a clinch, and his voice rang high in
agonzed protest:
"Scattah yo' blows. niggah!" he de.
manded go Gawd's sake. scattah

PLUMP FU[KS AND
thin FOLKS
Samose Will Make People Fat-"Mon-
ey Back II It Fails" Says The
Century Drug Store.

The line of beauty is curve.
Women may be thin and graceful, but
not thin and beautiful. There is a
vast number of pale, thin, scrawny
people who are all brains and nerves,
but without the strength and health
that accompanies the standard weight.
Good flesh and perfect health go to-
gether. A true flesh forming food
like Samose is absolutely necessary
to many people
This remarkable discovery comes in
tablet form and when taken after
meals mingles with the food and helps
1t to assimilate so that it makes rich
blood and pleasing plumpness No
one can use this wonderful flesh-form-
ing food for 10 days without a notice
able gain in flesh and strength.
Carefully kept statistics show that out
of every hundred people who begin the
use of Samose, 9S per cent increase in
weight and their health and strength
are restored.
The Century Drug Store has so
much confidence in this remarkable
flesh forming food and health restorer
that they are willing and glad to al
low any customer to deposit SOC with
them and take home a box of Samose
with the understanding that if it does
not give marked increase in good
firm flesh the money will be returned
without any questions.
Take advantage of this offer. The
risk is all theirs and you have almost
the certainty of a pleasing gain in
plumpness.

PELLAGRA SPREADING RAPIDLY

Pellagra is reported as increasingly
prevalent in Kentucky, Tennessee,
North and South Carolina and Geor-
gia. Reports indicate that it is in
creasing, at least in some localities,
at rate that demands serious consid-
Grafton. The increase in the number
of cases, the high mortality and the
lack of knowledge regarding the cause
and method of preventing this disease
have created alarm among the people
of infected localities. 1t is feared
that the disease may become epidem-
ic and, Judging from the experience in
Italy, such an event is not impossible,
since in that country the disease, soon
after it's appearance, became wide
spread and was attended by a high
rate Of mortality. The Journal of the
American Medical Association, in a
recent edition, calls attention to the
seriousness of the situation and says
that, unfortunately, accurate records
regarding the prevalence of the dis
ease in this country are not available,
owing to the inadequate laws regard
ing reporting of diseases. registra-
ton of deaths, etc. Such records
would, at present, be of the greatest
value as showing the location and rate
of increase Of the disease. At present
only one state requires that cases of
pellagra shall be reported. No APP
probable advance has been made re-
Gently in our knowledge of the causes
and methods of prevention of this dis
ease. The use of corn as an article
of diet, transmission by flies or water
bugs, as well as various germs have
all been held responsible, but the real
cause has not as yet been positively
demonstrated
The apparent n-contagiousness of
pellagra renders quarantine unneces-
sary Health authorities and physi-
clans are keenly alive to the necessi-
ty for vigorous action, while press re-
ports and editorial comments indicate
that the public is also alarmed over
the situation. The Journal concludes
that the pellagra situation must be
viewed with serious concern. The
disease has now been reported from
more than thirty states, its area is
extending and it's presence is a men
ace to the public. It is one of the
most important public health prob
lens of the present day and proper
provision for it's thorough investiga-
ton should be made by federal and
state authorities.

REFERENDUM AND RECALL.
Providence Journal.)

(ITOS1OcIlC0
 The attention of friends of the ref erendum and recall should be direct ed to two electoral results of the pres ent week-one in Hartford, Connecti- cut, on Tuesday, and the other in Ta- coma, Washington. on Wednesday. In Hartford the number of registered voters is 17,742, but a small propor- tion of these expressed any opinion at the polls on several matters of impor- tance that had been referred to them. One question had to do with the pub lie schools. Should the districts be consolidated or the school taxes be capitalized? A total of 1890 cit4ens voted for one or the other of these alternatives, but as it was required that fifty per cent. of the possible vote should be represented in order to val idate either proposition, neither was adopted. On the proposal to spend six hundred thousand dollars for a new high school building, only 5,744 purchasing the Daniels mills proper ty, only 4,84O; on an appropriation for new fire station, only 5,289; on an appropriation for a comfort station. only 4,S47. In other words, approx imately two-thirds of the registere ] portunity offered them to participate directly in the settlement of several issues of supposedly public interest and concern.
 In Tacoma there has been dissat- isfaction with the mayor, so a special recall election was held on Wednes- day, with three candidates, among them the incumbent officer in the field. None of the three nominees received majority of the votes cast as required, so second election will be held on the eighteenth of this

TURKISH FORCES SLAUGHTERED BY
 REBEL TROOPS

Constantinople, April 12.-The Tur- kish forces in northern Albania. are today, facing utter annihilaticn at the hands of the rebellious tribesmen. The situation Is admitted by high army officials, today, to be the most serious in Turkeys history. Grave doubts are entertained that the re- bellion can be put down and there are many of the higher officials who are advising the Sultan not to send any more troops to certain death.
 The recent series of rebel victories has greatly encouraged the tribesmen who have never been loyal to the dynasty and this feeling has been ad- vanced by the defection of the 10000 Mirdiete tribesmen whose loyalty has heretofore never been questioned. Raising the standard of revolt in this tribe is expected to influence many of their neighbors.
 Despatches received from the seat of war, today, say that the regular Turkish troops now in the field are wearied and discouraged with the long forced marches. In numerous instances the columns are unable to penetrate the fastnesses of the noun tains while several attachments have been led into ambush and cut to pieces.
 Wholesale assertions from the Tur- kish columns are reported and the deSerters are welcomed by the rebels with open arms and well paid to take up arms in rebellion.

month, with the socialist candidate, as third man eliminated. In other words, Tacoma will have been called
 upon twice within fifteen days to at tend to the business of choosing mayor, in addition to having devoted a regular campaign to it several months ago. Is all this worth while? ? Would it not be better to scrutinize
 candidates with great care at the out set, and then hold them, at the next
 regular election, to a strict accounta-
 bility? In case Of their deliberate
 malfeasance in office, there is a rem- fedy in the courts.
 Rhode Island has had much the same experience as Hartford with the referendum-for whenever a constitu-
 tional amendment, or harbor, or high
 way loan is submitted to popular vote in this state, many citizens refuse or
 neglect to express their opinion at
 the polls. The number of ballots cast
 on some important propositions in the past has been highly discouraging, ir- |Eespective of the verdict one way or thefother Even when a regular e1ec- ton of candidates for office coincides
 with the vote on such questions, it is
 sometimes found that a far greater
 number of people are interested in
 the settlement of any impersonal
 problem. The reason in part is that
 many voters feel themselves un1tted TOT young upon Sucn problems. The considerations involved are not clear
 to them, and the easiest course is to
 avoid judgment altogether. This il- Illustrates an essential weakness of the referendum system under a gov ernment like ours. Tn Oregon, where the voters of the state were lately called upon to decide some thirty-nine
 questions of large variety at single election, how could an intelligent judg- ment be expected? How many citi- | zens of Oregon were prepared to ex- press @ wise view on any consider
 able proportion of these thirty-nine propositions?
 Our representative form of govern ment has demonstrated some danger ] ous weaknesses, but to many thought full Americans the remedy appears to 1 lie in the elimination of these weak nesses rather than in the abandon | ment of the system. and the substitu- | tion for it. of a direct appeal to the rank and file of the voters on every l conceivable question. We must have government of, by and for the people. ! but this does not necessarily mean l that the legislative agent, if held to a rigid accounting, has outlived his use- l fulneSs.
