THE THIN AND WEAK
Easy Way for Them to Get Strong
and Fat.

To thin and weak Geo. w. Stansfield
has a word to say. Let them use Sa-
NOSE. the w onderful fesh-fOrm1ng
food, that is now so popular, and they
will soon be plump and rosy.
Samose is not an ordinary medicine;
il is f1esh-forming food that IS
adapted to the most delicate. It's tonic
effect gives strength and health so that
after it's use for a short time all the
flesh and fat producing elements in the
food will be easily assimilated and re-
tanned by the body.
The large sale Druggist, Geo. w.
Stansfield has had on Samose since he
first introduced it in Topeka and the
wonderful results following its use have
made him such an enthusiastic be-
lever in it's great merits, that he gives
his personal guarantee to refund the
money if Samose does not make thin
people fat and restore strength and
health.
When a gain in weight is noticed
after Samose has been used for a week
or ten days, and health has improved.
and you notice yourself growing
stronger. you certainly should feel
more than satisfied with what you
have received from the small cost of

THE BEST SIZE FARM
FOR DRY FARMING.

| One of the interesting and important
problems Is the best size farm In dry
farming regions. Prof. j. H. Shepperd
of the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege secured some interesting data
from the directors of the experiment
stations in the northwestern states and
provinces. This question was sent to
them: what size of farm unit do
you regard as best for your dry land
farming regions?' The answers re-
ceived were. as follows:
Thatcher, Washington-320 acres.
Churchill, Oklahoma-The unit
| should not be smaller than 800 acres
in any case and where only upland is
available a unit twice that size Will
be more economical. Professor Church
i'll explains that conditions are chang
ing rapidly by native pastures being
killed out, by the proximity of bottom
land and by hilly upland varying
widely in carrying capacity.
Keyser. Colorado-320 acres or over
depending upon locality and local con-

Linfield. Montana-320 acres. In
| some Of the wetter districts where
conditions are more favorable Tor

right. In certain places n for GER
tain men, the section of land will prove
the most desirable unit. This will be
particularly true in the rougher parts

When asked II he was going to play
this season, he replied emphaticaliy he
was. and what was more he was going
to play a better game than ever be-
fore.
This man with the habit of leading
the National League batters, Is anxious
to surpass the record made by Cap An

and now says he is going to eclipse 1t.
