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 increases from wee!: To
week.
Samose does not contain a particle
of starch or pepsin. nor is it any
nauseating preparation, such as is
usually recommended to make people
fat and which does not build up good
healthy tissues. Samose has valuable
nesh-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
Fogg will return your money without
any quibbl no. Oct 8-15-22-29

Danger in Delay
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
For SkoWhegan People to Neglect

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they SO often get firm hold
before the sufferer recognizes them.
Health will be gradually undermined.
Backache. headache. nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright's
disease may follow as the kidneys get
worse. Don't neglect your kidneys.
Help the kidneys with Doan's Kidney
Pills. which are SO strongly recon-
mended right here in Skowhegan.
Pain in my back was quite annoy
ing and | had other symptoms of kid
ney complaint" says A. H. Lang, of
Is Middle St, SkowhegaH. Il knew
that the trouble would result serious
ly if | neglected it and when | heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills, | got a
box at Sampson & Azores Drug Store.

FATHERS ASLEEP
being the concluding lines of the
beautiful poem by Holman f. Day.

Fast asleep? Aye fast asleep!
Though the clock has called, he slum-
bers deep;
Though birds have called, though
hearts still call,
His hands are crossed and he sleeps
through all
And he does not rise when his neigh
Once so jocund, now so dumb!
Rustic and creak, They throng and
press,
Pass and touch with soft caress
The sunbrowned hand that stretched
of yore
Its welcome to all who passed that
door.
But he does not smile and he does not
wake
A greeting to give or leave to take
Though one stands forth and tells of
deed
OF kindly mercy to those in need;
Of gifts of charities wide and free
But hidden for only friends to see
Reproying palm he does not sweep
AS he would have done ere he fell
asleep.
And when at last this praise is hush
ed
This praise at which he would have
blushed-
His hearty basso does not ring
Its burden in the song they sing:
"Oh. heaven, friends. is home for the
soul that struggles here;
Leave the earthly tenement to crum-
BILE ON its bier,
The home road is the dearest road
that ever feet have trod
If you know the hand awaiting is the
hand of Father, Cod
But the clock that sees the lid closed
down,
The gable staring with puzzled frown
On the people who follow him and
weep,
Sigh. Fast asleep! Still fast asleepl"
