DAILY GAIN IN WEIGHT
Comes to Those Who Use samose.
Says Druggist w. L. Gokay

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

simulate from the food all of those
elements which make solid bone,
firm muscle, pure blood. and sufi-
Client fat to restore beautiful and
symmetrical outlines to the figure.
An increase IN weight is seen
from the first weeks use Of Samose.
but If il does not restore you to your
proper weight and give you full Wig
or and vitality, Druggist w. L. Gokay
viii return your money. You GER
tainly can afford to try Samose on
this guarantee.

Ballad, "RobIn AdaIr.w

During one of the last birthday eel.

beautiful ballad OF Robin Adair." /"
She had hardly begun before Mr..
Whittier's pet dog came into the

Robin takes that as tribute to

is Robin Adair.'"
The dog. hearing his own name,
evidently considered that he was the
hero Of the song. From that mo-

when she went away he carried her

Effect Of Paint on corrosion Of Iron.

Effect Of Paint on Corroslon of Iron.
According to the rather surprising
results obtained by two German chem
lists, M. Liebreich and L. Splitter, who
were experimenting with paint as a
preventive Of the co-rosion of iron, 1t
seems that one coat of good paint or
varnish Is much superior to two or
more coats. In their experiments a
second coat proved absolutely detri-
mental. The experiments consisted in
painting well polished steel bars with
one or more coats and suspending the
bars over boiling water for four days.
Half of the coating was then removed
and the barred metal we'll covered with
vaseline to prevent oxidation. In each
case where only one coat Of paint had
been applied the bars remained as
brilliant and rust free as before the
test, but in the case Of two or more
coats, corrosion had taken place, The
Investigators will not commit them.
selves as to the explanation of this,
but 1t may be that coating of several
layers provides less flexible cover,
more liable to crack, thus allowing
oxidizing agents to penetrate to the
metal surface.

In starting the game, the beam OF
the balance is locked in place in the
same manner as the ordinary weigh
ing balance, and each player takes
set Of balls and proceeds to place
them, one at a time, in the depres-
sions in the respective pans. The
object Of each player is to place the
heaviest of the balls in the depres-
sions farthest from the center Of the
balance. After the balls are in place.
the beam is released and hand on

who can estimate most accurately the
comparative weights of the balls by
simply weighing them in his hands
wins the game.

What could be braver. what could
be richer, than her life?
What could there be in all human
experience to surpass that young love
or hers?-the love that one hears,
with aching threat and blurred eyes,

Then death-the death of her hus-
band. And I think there can be no
sharper test of courage, no deeper call
for heroism, than the requirement to

southern wife and widow; the home

such unwonted service; all the pitiful
shifts of unequipped, sensitively bred

and smiled.
