Increase Weight
Quickly
Simple Way for the Thin and
Pale To Be Plump
and Rosy. ~

Samose can hardly be termed
medicine: It is in reality a flesh
forming food Taken before or after
meals, it mingles with the food you
eat, enables 1t to assimilate and read
ilv digest, so as to make rich blood
and pleasing plumpness.
After Samose has been used a week
or ten days a noticeable gain in
weight is seen. The sallow complex
ion will become rosy, the sunken
cheeks will have a rudy glow. the
eyes will be bright, the breath sweet
and the step elastic.
Jacobs Pharmacy customers have
told them of the remarkable results
following the use OF Samose the great
forming food and they are SO
thoroughly convinced of it's reliability
that they are selling 1t under their
personal guarantee to refund the
money II It does not do all that Is
claimed for It. You who are thin and
IN poor health can not AFFORD 30 let
another day pass without getting q

All Varieties of
Weather in East.

CHICAGO. Feb. apparently in
dulging in high jinks before the arrl-
val Of a cold wave which is expected
by tomorrow morning, the entire
eastern half of the United States to-
day experienced weather calculated to
suit the tastes of the most capricious.
The great reach of country from
Kansas City to the Atlantic Coast
and from the Great Lakes almost to
the Gulf of Mexico used a fan in one
section to keep cool, while over many
others reared srowstorm partaking
in many localities of blizzard proper
tons. Every variety of weather
known to the weather man, excepting
typhoons and hurricanes, was involved
in the reports received to-day.
Kansas City, just beginning to feel
the oncoming cold wave, experienced
q snoWStorm and a temperature of 10
degrees above zero. Two hundred
and fifty miles from that locality St
Louis was wrapped in a heavy fog, a
suspicion of spring.
Through Southern and Central II
hnoiS there were light snowfalls with
the temperature only slightly above
freezing
