How to Get Fat
Use samose, Says Druggist and Put
on Good Flesh.

The almost universal interest in
physical culture is the best evidence
that can be offered as to the need of
simple and scientific method of max
ing, thin people fat. increasing strength
and restoring health.
Athletics when carried to an extreme,
often result in straining the vital organs
How much better it would be for the
average person to regain health,
strength and flesh by using Samose.
This fiesh-forming food is assimilated as
soon as it enters the stomach; it helps
the organs to assimilate the food and
extract the flesh forming elements; 1t
builds up the muscles and rounds out
the limbs into shapely plumpness.
Samose has been so successful in
making thin people fat and restoring the
weak and run down to strength and
health that Jacobs Pharmacies, the
popular druggists, sell 1t under their
personal guarantee to refund the money
If 1t does not benefit.
An offer like this certainly shows re-
markable faith in the powers of Sam
ose to do all that is claimed for 1t. No
one should suffer any longer from
thin, rundown condition, now thai
Samose's remarkable powers are known

He did not at first take any more

I WAS never sent back to school

came which brought a great disaster
One morning I found Martin with
OLD Tommy the Mate in his pottinp
shed, deep in the discussion of tbeir
usual suoject-the perils and pains Of
Arctic exploration, when you have
little food in your wallet and not too
much in your stomach
But you has lots of things when

oranges and things-hasn't vouor

At that great word I saw Martins
oiue eyes glisten like the sea when
the sun Is shining on it; and then
seeing me for the first time, he turned
back to old Tommy and said:

"Glory's waiting for me-ccme

ferrous whisper, and without a word
of inquiry, I obeyed.
He gave me the biscuit and put it

gong to school" AS a CONSEQUENCE
he could not read or write as we'll as
other boys of his age, and his gram i
mar was still that of the peasant peo-
pie with whom he loved to associate
Chief among these was our gar
dener, old Tommy the Mate who lived
IN mud cabin on the shore and
passed the doctors house on his way
TO work. Long ago Tommy had told
the boy tremendous story. II was
about Arctic exploration and an ex-
petition he had joined in search OF
Franklin. This had made an over
towering impression on Martin, who
for months afterward would stand
waiting at the gate until Tommy
was going by, and then say:
Been to the North Pole to-day
Tommy ?"
Whereupon Tommy's "starboard
eye "oulu pilnh ana ne would an

But later on Martin conceived the
l0ea mat the North Pole was the To-
CAVITY immediately surrounding his
fathers house. and every day he
would set out on voyages of explora
tlon over the garden. the road and
the shore, finding, bv his own ac

things aud undiscovered places. BY
some means-nubody knew how-the

climb a rock like a lizard, and he
kept a log book, on the back pages
of the Doctors book of visits, which
he called his "diarrhea" And now
