DAVE MONTGOMERY
AND FRED STONE
REPEAT SUCCESS
THE Old Town" Proves as
Popular as on Previous
Visits.

Montgomery and Stone, the inimitable
pair of fun-makers are back at the
New National in THE Old Town" It's
the third visit, but there was no indica-
ton Of that fact In the size, enthusiasm,
and laughter Of the Monday night aud
lence.
One laughs again at the circus stunts,
the search for the hidden treasure, the
purloining of the Scotchmar's kiltlcs,
and the droll antics of Dave Mont
gomery and Fred Stone in the 'busi-
ness" Of two acts of mirthful melangc.
And don't forget that Mr.. Frederick A.
Stone Is still welding the lariat in the
manner that made every cowboy in the
audience. If there were any, absolutely

There's no use attempting to outline
the plot OF The Old Town" 1t con-
Germs everything from a busted" circus
to the election of a United States Sem
ator and the parade of the militant
suffragettes. Most theatergoers have
seen the Ade-Luders play, anyway, but
they keep going whenever the annual
temperance of Montgomery and Stone
is placarded on the billboards.
The two star comedians are supported
by good company, and many OF the
faces were familiar ones last night.

TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE.
Oner to Pay for SamOse II 1t Does Not
Make Thin Folks Fat.

Make Thin Folks Fat.
Pale, thin people are simply suffering
from want of nourishment. They may
eat enough, but their food is not prop
erly digested, and does them no good.
S6mcse, the remarkable ficsh-forning
food, should be used by all who are
pale. weak and thin. 1t mingles with
the food and aids assimilation. so that
when taken for a short time, Nature
win soon assert ner normal powers, and
the food that is eaten will give
strength and good flesh.
Weigh yourself before you commence
the use of Samose, and you will notice
a steady gain. Samose Is a scientific
flesh forming food that restores the
thin and scrawny to their proper weight
and nils the weak and debllitated with
vigor and vitality.
The woman who longs for rosy cheeks
and the plumpness OF beauty should
use Samcse. The man who wants to be
strong and we'll and gain health and
good flesh will find his desires accom-.
plished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have followed
the Use or Samose that Jas. O'Donnel
is willing to pay for the treatment II

He makes this offer generally and
wants all WHO are weak, thin or Out
OF health to get box of SamOse OF

SamOse Fills Out the Curves and
Makes Thin People Fat.
THE FATNEss OF HEALTH.


II you are thin your health Is not
what 1t 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 II you are thin
Perfect health and good, solid, beau
tiful flesh can only come through the
use OF Samose, the remarkable flesh
forming food.
This makes the thin and scrawry
plump and robust; 1t mixes with the
food so that all of the elements that
make sOlii bone, firm muscle ana good
flesh are thoroughly assimileted and re q.
tained in the system.
Samose Is not a drug or stimulant;
II Is a scientific fesh-fOrming food that
restores thin people to a normal con-
dition of good, healthy flesh.
There are thousands of unhappy nerV-
GUS, thin people who would look and
feel entirely different II they were only
fat and plump. Let them use Samose
and they will! soon notice remarkable
results.
These statements are confirmed by
Jas. O'Donnell's Offer to refund the
| money to any one 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 JAS.
