DAILY GAIN In WEIGHT
Comes to Those Who Use Samose,
Says Druggist Geo. w. Stansfield.

The poor, thin, emaciated person,
when he or she becomes plump, rosy
and robust by using Samose, forgets
that there is such a thing as weak
ness and underweight.
Samose restores health to the whole
system so that the tissues assimilate
from the food all of those elements
which make solid bone, firm muscle,
pure blood, and sufficient fat to re-
store beautiful and symmetrical out
lines to the figure.
An increase in weight is seen from
the first weeks use of Samose but if
it does not restore you to your proper
weight and give you full Vigor and
vitality, Druggist Geo. w. Stansfield,
632 Kansas ave, will return your
money. You certainly can afford to
try Samose on this guarantee Sent

NOW 1T is FEED
Sweet Glover Holds Place in
Front Rank Now.
Few Years Ago 1t Was Brand
ed as Nuisance.

Hutchinson. Kan, Nov. 1.-Two
years ago-a weed, a nuisance, which
farmers sought to stamp out.
Today-one of the most promising
crops in western Kansas. and likely
to supersede alfalfa in the short
grass country.
That is the story of sweet clover,
which is already being regarded as
one of the coming great crops of west
ern Kansas. Similar to alfalfa, 1t Is
said to be exempt from insect pests,
it is easier to get a stand than al
falfa, requires but little water, anu
makes as good a hay as alfalfa
1T has been only lately that the
real value of this clover has been
recognized for hay and feed crop, re-
marked A. L. Sponsler, who has beer
paying considerable attention to this
crop. Mr.. Sponsler believes that IL
will be one of the big crops of west
grown that do not require much mois-
ture-
Tried to StamD 1t Out.
Ed Finnup, of Finney county, had
so acres of sweet clover in this sea-
SON. on bottom land south of Garden
City, which received no irrigation.
The crop harvested about 1000 BUSH
els of seed worth close to $4,000, SELL
ing for So a bushel.
three years ago an iowa IIidIl WIZ
owned this land found the sweet clover
plant growing wild on it and rapidly
spreading. He tried to stamp it out,
but without success, and fearing the
land would be ruined, got rid of tho
place as soon as he could, selling to
Mr. Finnup.
This weed instead of running the
land, produced enough seed this sea-
son to pay the entire purchase price
for the place.
Good for Hay and Ensilage.
The nature of sweet clover plant
makes it good for hay, also for en-
silage, for soiling crop, for pastur-
age, and may be used as green ma
nure crop. 1t is especially valuable
as a honey plant.
The Needham farm. in F'inney coun-
ty. produced 500 bushels of seed this
season which sold for $3.50 a bushel.
Buyers have been paying from $3.50
to IS bushel for the seed.

political and other reasons, always

of the Three Days. The king heard
that the duke was anxious to visit the
king and royal family at Prague, but
that his finances were not favorable to
so long a journey. His majesty, there

would enable the duke to crafty his
