SMOKING IS
ON THE DECREASE

MILFORD, Del, Oct 29-Alarmed
at learning that rs per cent Of the
BOYS i'm the Milford High School were
cigarette smokers at a poll taken last
winter, school authorities have since
been making a strong effort to reduce
the percentage by a system Of leduca-
ton on the question, and the result
was shown when the completion of a
poll taken last week shows that only
80 per cent are confirmed smokers.
This is a decrease of 40 per cent. in
less than one year,
The campaign has been an en-
couraging one, according to state
ments issued yesterday by teachers
in the school Last year when the
announcement was made. parents
we're astounded and refused to be-
lieve the result, but careful canvass
showed that the poll was correct.
Since then not only the school au-
thorities but the parents have joined
in trying to put a stop to the habit
and today they are well satisfied with
the result, although their energies
will be continued until a smaller per
cent can be polled. The teachers
state that with the diminishing of the
smokers there is a corresponding In
crease in interest in studies, especi-
ally in mathematics where the non-uss
of cigarettes has especially shown an
increase.

TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE.
Ofier to Pay for ,SamOse If It Does Not
Make thin Folks Fat.

Pale thin people are simply suffer-
ing from want of nOurishment They
may eat enough, but their food is not
properly digested and does them no
good.
Samose, the remarkable fesh-form-
ing food, should be used by all who
are pale, weak and thin. II mingles
with the food and aids assimilation,
so that when taken for a short time
nature will soon assert her normal
powers and the food that is eaten will
give strength and good flesh.
Samose is a scientific fesh-formine
food that restores the thin and
scrawny to their proper weight and
fills the weak and debilitated with Vi
gor and vitality,
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness Of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants to be strong and well and gair
health and good flesh will find his
desires accomplished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have fol
lowed the use of Samose that Dr
Howard Co. is willing to pay for th'
treatment If it does not give the de
sired results They make this Offe
generally and want all who are thin
weak or out of health to get bo,
of Samose on those terms. Price 81
cents.

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

Makes Thin People Fat.
II you are thin, your health is not
what it should be. II you are losing
weight steadily, there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once. You cannot be healthy and
strong il you are thin.
This makes the thin and scrawny
plump and robust; 1t mixes with the
food so that all of the elements that
make solid bone, firm muscle and good
flesh are thoroughly assimilated and
retained in the system.
Samose is not a drug or stimulant;
it is a scientific ilesh-fOrming food
that restores thin people to a normal
condition of good healthy flesh.
There are thousands of unhappy
nervous, 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 re-
markable results.
These statements are confirmed by
Dr. Howard Co.'s offer to refund the
money to anyone buying and using
Samose and they will soon notice re-
as promised The risk is all theirs
The thin ard scrawny can buy Sam
ose with the knowledge that if it is
not successful it will cost absolutely
nothing.
