DAILY GAIN IN WEIGHT
Comes to Those Who Use Samose,
Says Jacobs.

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 as
simulate from the food all of those
elements which make solid bone,
firm muscle, pure blood, and sufii-
Gent 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
1t does not restore you to your prop
er weight and give you full vigor and
vitality, Jacobs will return your
money. You certainly can afford to
try Samose on this guarantee

Profession of Motherhood.

It is a difficult PROFESSIONALS pro-
fession Of motherhood. In the animal
kingdom, as the offspring grow older,
the parents withdraw their ministra-'

older the children grow the more di..
plomacy and enthusiasm is. needed
by the ruling spirits. When the boys,
begin to, get unruly and the girls be-
gin to get silly las the husband gets
less ready to make an effort and more
willing to sit quietly by the fire in the
evening thenEit is that many a fam
lily drifts apart But the mother can

Shapes, Of the Satellites.

Photometric studies of six Of the
principal satellites of Saturn, made by
Guthnick, indicate confirmation Of
the previous conclusions of other OBJ
servers that several, and perhaps all,
of these satellites behave like our
own moon in keeping always the same
side toward the. planet around which
they revolve. In regard to the satel-
lite named Tethys, an interesting n.y.
pothesis is offered to account for its
very marked changes of luminosity.
The theory is that Tethys possesses
the form of long ellipsoid, the two
principal axes of which are to one an
other in the ratio of five to two. A
similar suggestion has been made con-
corning the shape of the asteroid
Eros, which likewise exhibits great va
riations of light, according to it's posi-
