HEAR PARTY'S
PLANS OUTLINED

Before a largely attended meeting
of National Progressives at the head
quarters of that party. No. 923 Market
street last night. Charles Warner
made an address defining the issues
in the party's platform. He discussed
the platform plank by plank and gave
a clear explanation OF each issue and
contrasting it with other party plat
forms
Mr. Warner showed that the party
favored four specific things, a better
form of city government the improve
ment of the tax assessment and col
lection laws, centralized revenue
bureau, and the investigation of pub
lie utility franchise rights
Mr. Warner denied the charge that
the National Progressive organization
was simply an adjunct of the Repub-
lican party and pointed out that the
National Progressives believed that
they could work out the consumma-
ton of their principles better in the
old party channels rather than by a
party working alone. He insisted that
for all practical purposes the Ma
tional Progressives constituted an in-
dependent party

DON'T BE THIN
No Need Of Being Scrawny, Weak
and Emaciated.

In these days of physical culture
and health foods, one would hardly
expect to see any thin, weak, emaci-
ated people, but in spite of all this.
nearly every person you meet is thin
and scrawny.
Good healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper food
with thorough assimilation of the fat
giving elements.
Samose has valuable flesh-forming
and tissue building properties, and
when II is assimilated with the food,
it causes the fiesh-making elements
TO be retained and the weight is ma
turally increased.
The Or. Howard Co. has sold
through the druggist in the last few
weeks a great many packages OF
Samose, every one with their per-
sonal guarantee to refund the money
if it did not give satisfaction and
has had but one person ask for the
money back. Just think Of it; only
one who used Samose found that
1t failed to give a satisfactory I'm
crease in flesh and plumpnessl You
run no risk whatever In buying Sam
ose. If you are not perfectly salts
ned with the results. Or. Howard Co,
