INCREASE WEIGHT QUICKLY
Simple Way for the Thin and Pale to
Be Plump and Rosy.

medicine, it is in reality a flesh form
ing food. Taken before or after meals,
it mingles with the food you eat, en-
ables it to assimilate and readily di-
gest, SO as to make rich blood and
pleasing plumpness
After Samose has been used week
or ten days a noticeable gain in weight
is seen. The sallow complexion will
become rosy, the sunken cheeks will
have a ruddy glow, the eyes will be
bright, the breath sweet and the step
elastic.
Geo. w. Stansfie1d's customers have
told him of the remarkable results fol-
lowing the use of Samose, the great
flesh forming food. and he is so thor
oughly convinced of its reliability that
he is selling it under his personal guar
antee to refund the. money if it does
not do all that is claimed for it. You
who are thin and in poor health can
not afford to let another day pass
without getting a 50c box of Samose

office in the Waldheim building, Kan

not going to return to the Millers this

his dental practice. In this case it is
expected that Joe Cantillon intends

Detroit on the initial sack.
It is doubtful if Rossman viii hold

tipped off Rossman's weakness and he
soon lost his job with Detroit.

MOTHER FINDS 1T
Charter of High School Frat
Given to Board.
Youths Had Planned to Send
1t to Kansas City.

Lawrence. Kan, Nov. 12.-Through
the cooperation of Lawrence parents
with the board of education in an ef-
fort to stop the form of violation of
state law embraced in the high school
fraternity activities. the charter of
Delta Sigma granted to Lawrence high
school boys is now on its way back
TO the regents of the fraternity at Chi
ago.
The four members of the fraternity
who were expelled from school a week
ago attempted to save their charter
by sending it to a place of safekeep-
ing at Kansas City. But the mother
Of one of the fraternity members
learned of the plan, seized the charter
and then placed it in the hands OF
a member of the school board.
The action of the boys in attempt
ing to make away with the charter
casts some doubt on their good faith
in dealing with the board of education
when they asked for reinstatement,
but the action of one mother endowed
with common sense is likely TO put an
end for some time to the foolish ef-
forts of this particular group of boys
to persist in lawbreaking.
The board of education neld a con-
sultation with the parents of the four
expelled students, and also talked the
matter over with the boys, The boys
were told TO report at the high school
this morning. when the decision of
the board would be made known to
them.
The four boys, Frank Ise, Dorman
O'Leary, Reece Hall and Arthur Ander-
son, were reinstated in school after
subscribing to the conditions laid down
by the board. They signed a statement
similar to the one required of the
members of Delta Omicron Omicron III
1910 In The signed agreement tine
boys state that they have resigned
their membership in Delta Sigma. that
they have surrendered their charter,
and the promise to attend no meetings,
TO pay no dues, to wear no colors or
pins, and that they will not be pres
ent at the pIedging or initiation OF
members of the order while they are
students in Lawrence high school.
