Kennedy Offers to Pay for Samose If It Does Not Make Thin People Fat Pale, thin people are limply suffering from want of nourishment. They may eat enough, but their food is not piop erlv digested and does tliein no good. Sainose, the remarkable flesh forming food should be used by all who are pale, weak and thin. It mingles with the food aud aids assimilation, so that when taken for a short time, nature will soon assert her normal powers, and the food that is eaten will give strength and good flesh. The woman who longs for rosy checks and the plumpness of beauty should use Samose. The man who wants to be strong and well and gain health and good flesh will find his desires accom tin-bod by Siimose. Such remarkable results have fol lowed the use of Samose that Druggist If. C. Kennedy is willing to pay for the treatment if it does not give the desired results. He makes this offer generally and wants all who ure thin, weak and out of health to get a box of Kamose from him on those terms.

The youth leaned over in hjs eliuir in trying to get fur ther away from his mother and pushed her arm away vhen she endeavored to s put it around him. Mr. Bmith began by saying: "My wife and I have had all kinds of argu ments about that hoy. I consulted Dr. S. F. Hassler in 1912 and had him ex amine Ed. At that time I would have had the boy sent away if the mother had not interfered. When she would not submit to his being sent awav I resolved to gather sufficient evidence to accomplish it, regardless of whether her consent eoitld be obtained. "I stood back of the bov once and watched him for two hours and forty minutes. In that time he kept staring at one object, and probably would not have moved after that if I had not pulled him to one side. I recall once he fed a bushel of corn to one horse at one meal. Later I caught him feed ing small chickens to the hoes. Tried to Get Him a Wife "He neved fed the chickens a* he should have done. He would go ont with a big pan of com, throw two or three grains in ono direction to see the chickens run, then throw a haudful of corn in another direction. He constant ly had the chickens scrambling for com as children would for pennies. "I bought the boy a horse, hogs, a gun, a hunting dog, chickens and an in cubator and did everything I knew how to try and improve him. Yes, I even tried to get him a wife. Frequently I went to the cottage at night and found him aibsent. I would go and look for him and invariably found him wander ing in the woods. } "On one occasion—it was after a thunderstorm—l found forty-two dead chicks on the second floor of the cot tage. When 1 asked him about them he told me that they had got wet and he dried them in the oven. ''l cannot recall when the boy called me 'dad,' 'father' or bv my name. For six years or more he called me 'Hey.' He sent me a letter on April 8, 19 i 3, telling me to come to the cottage. When 1 did go he denied that he had sent the letter and asked me what I wanted. Later he admitted that he did write the letter and said it was because four men had been roaming about the cot tage the night before and that he was afraid of being robbed.'' Subsequently, the father said, hisjaov told him that he didn't know anything about robbers because young Smith had slept in the chicken house on the night in question.
