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 10"

Samose does not contain a particle
of starch or pepsin. nor is II ally
nauseating preparation, such as is
usually recommended to make people
fat and which does not build up good
healthy tissues. Samose has valuable
flesh-forming properties, tones up and
strengthens the whole system, helps
the food that is eaten to be assimilat-
ed in a natural manner and absolute
ly restores health to all the organs.
If YOU are not perfectly satisfied
with the results from Samose G. r.

HOLLAND NEARING HUNGER.
Wheat and Bread Supply to Last Only
Sixteen Days.

Wheat and Bread Supply to Last Only
Sixteen Days.
The Hague, Aug. 21.-Holland now
has a flour and bread supply of only
sixteen days.
This was the startling announces
ment made by the minister of agricul-
ture yesterday in an interview pub
lished in the papers In which he calls
on the public to practice the strict
est economy in the use OF flour. The
urges the people to substitute
rice for flour as much as possible. The
minister says that Holland produces
only sufficient wheat to last two and
a half months. The rest Of the re-
quirements of the country must be Inn
ported.
The harvest. according to the minis
ter, has just begun. The visible sup
ply is enough for sixteen days. The
government has seized 1S,0o0,000 milli-
grarnmes of grain in ships and store
houses which would have been ex-
ported. The shortage of the supply is
chiefly due to the cargoes OF wheat
on English ships bound for Rotterdam
having been seized by the English and
taken to London. The minister adds:
The public ought to know the stu
alton which is facing them Bread is
bound to rise and rice ought to be sub
stituted as much as possible"
The minister pointed out the fact
that shipping is practically at a stand
still. Only one ship entered Rotterdam
w ednesday when there are usually six
ty arrivals daily. The factories are
closed and all the able bodied men are
under arms on the frontier. The re-
mainder are unemployed.
There Is serious shortage of coal
in Holland also. The economic situ-
alton is extremely bad, but the govern
ment does not intend to declare
moratorium. 1t has asked the courts
to be lenient with debtors and to de-
cline to issue orders in bankruptcy.

The telegraph Office and railway sta

peasants who are abandoning the sur
rounding villages. The German troop
ers have established themselves on the
shooting grounds. They are under

cut of from the rest Of the army.
