thin FOLKS MADE FAT

Good, healthy flesh can only be gained
by the use of the proper food together
with natural action of the organs of
assimilation. Nine people out of ten in
order to weigh, as much as they ought
and be perfectly healthy, should use
Samose, the great flesh forming food
and health restorer. Weigh yourself
before commencing to use these little
tablets, and see how your weight in
creases from week to week
Samose does not contain particle of
starch or pepsin, nor is it any nause-
ating preparation, such as is usually
recommended to make people fat and
which does not build up good health
tissues. Samose has valuable flesh
forming properties, tones up and
strengthens the whole system, helps the
food that is eaten to be assimilated in
a natural manner and absolutely re-
stores health to all the organs.
If you are not perfectly satisfied with
the results from Samose, H. c. Ken

BRAVING AERIAL ICINESS
Easier for the Balloonist Than for the
Man in an Aeroplane

| am often asked why the aeroplane,
which has reached at its very highest
little over $4,000 feet, brings back
its aviator even from much lower
point, often almost exhausted with cold,
when the balloonist floating for hours
at height of over four miles is not
overcome by low temperature and hard
" Inconvenience. The answer is sim
pie. The aviator rushes upward from
the earth, cutting his way in ascending
spirals ever against the wind of his
own swift flight and the roaring blast
of his propeller.
He is the epitome of action. He is

precedents. The nervous strain is
something fearful as the machine claws
up the side of nothingness toward
mark in the heavens, invisible yet all
compelling, the mark another man has
set-the altitude record. Out of sight
of the waiting crowds, no longer even
dot in the sky, he may meet opposing
air currents, binding cloud banks that
muffle him so that ne cannot see the
tips of his own wings. He may be
forced to buck against adverse condi-
tions so that he keeps circling round
and round with the barograph lashed
to the side of the machine scarcely
moving, and then he thinks about the
last man 8 mark and sets his teeth
and sets the mark higher in the heav
ems.
He may come back so stiff with cold
that he cannot stir from the seat, but
good deal of it will be due to the in
tense nervous strain, for no one so au-
daciously aifronts gravitation and gets
away with it entirely unscathed. Mean

This Old Time Skin
Healer Is Used Just
Like Any Cold
Cream

With the first application of bold
sulphur the angry itching attending
any eczema eruption ceases and its re-
markable healing powers begin. Sui
phur, says renowned dermatologist
just common bold-sulphur, made into a
thick cream will soothe and heal the
skin when irritated and broken out
with Eczema or any form of eruption
The moment it is applied all itching
ceases and after two or three ,applica-
tions the Eczema disappears, leaving
the skin clear and smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers to get
from any good pharmacy an ounce of
bold-sulphur and apply it to the irri-
tated, inhamed skin, the same as you
would any cold cream.
For many years this soothing, heal.
ing sulphur has occupied secure posi-
tion in the treatment of cutaneous af.
fections by reason of its parasite de
stroying property. 1t is not only para
siticidal, but also antipruritic, antisep-
tic and remarkably healing in all irri-

the skin. While not always establish
ing a permanent cure it never fails to
instantly subdue the irritation and heal
the Eczema right up and it is often
