TO PALE THIN PEOPLE.
DIR. Howard Co. Offers to Pay For
SamOse II II Does Not Make
Thin peODle 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 flesh form
ing food should be used by all who
are pale, weak and thin. lt mingles
with the ford 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.
Weigh yourself before you com
mence the use of Samose, and you
will notice a steady gain. Samose is
a scientific hesh-forming food that re-
stores the thin and scrawny to their
proper weight and fills tile weak and
debilitated with vigor 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 we'll and gain
health and good flesh viii 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 the
treatment if it does not give the de-
sired result-he makes this offer gem
orally and wants all who are Min.
weak and out Of health to get box
of Samose from him on those terms.

however. that appeals to me from a
very different point of view than his,
and that is as TO the profit to which
a private corporation is entitled in
the manufacture Of smOkciess pow
der. OF course twenty per cent. pro-
fit on the manufacturing cost is a
different proposition from a return
upon invested capital / want to ask
the gentleman If he thinks that s IL
per cent. upon the invested capital
necessary for the manufacture of
smokeless powder is a sufficient profit
for a hazardous enterprise OF this
kind, particularly as an Investment
return as large as that can be secured
with greater safety in other lines OF
business?
MY answer TO the gentleman in
this replied Mr. Sherley. I'm the
first instance, 1 doubt very much
whether the DUPONT Company is en-
titled to be credited with a capital
investment OF five and one-half mill
lion dollars am not questioning
that may be book account
that the books may actually show an
investment OF that amount But when
you consider the amount that is al
ways and properly allowed for depre-
citation, and when you consider other
items, and what we now know to be
the cost Of creating a plant that
would have no output of the capacity
OF the DUPONT plant, ] should think
that was an extravaganza allowance.
That is my first answer The second
answer is that the DUPONT Company
: is not engaged entirely in making
powder for the United States but
they are now manufacturing and sell
ing the same kind of powder to other
governments and therefore it is not to
be assumed in this computation that
you must figure all of their profits
upon the sales that they make to the
Federal Government. Having in mind
these conditions, / think what the
committee has recommended is fair.
And its recommendation is not an all
lOwance OF 5 IL per cent on invest
ment. but OF twenty per cent on cost
of making the powder / have not
worked out and have not the data to
determine what per cent on invest
ment is made by the duPonts, be-
cause ! do not know just what their
output viii be or what they viii sell
at TO others than the Government"
Mr. Head then continued:
"In the manufacture Of smokeless
powder It has. as the gentlemen well
knows. heretofore been the practice
for the company to maintain partial.
ly in idleness all the time one of the
three plants which they use in its
manufacture; the policy of the de-
partment being, according 70 theii
well-expressed views. to retain in
active service the three plants. while
as a matter Of fact, only one plant
out OF the three is actually used at Z
time thus requiring on the part o.
the powder company an investment
much larger than would ordinaril!
be the case. Has the committee takei
that into considerations"
I'VE did" answered Mr. Sherley
! "and it may be that the policy of hav
: ing idle plants viii be Discontinued b.
r the DUPONT Company. The gentleman
Will appreciate that IT, is impossible
