the matter Of adornipg the various parks and
reservations in and about the city. A quarter
ofa million trees and plants will be set out,
and special feature will be early.blooming
flowers. Some OF last years work has been
rewarded by the appearance in Lafayette

adornment of flowers. In the more exposed
sections OF the city II is proposed to project the

mer that strikes down the strongest; the
constant dosing Of delicate stomachs and
weak brains with calomel powders aud
mercurials or the stupefying OF brain and
smotherlng OF heart with deadly, soothing,
and cordial doses.
"Diseased or debilltated parents cannot
have healthy children" said the late Prof.
Willard Parker. And II Is true. Why,
then, do not mothers at once build up their
syAtems, enrich their blood, steady aud re-
store their brain and nerves, carry off all
poIsons by the bowels and put themselves
In strong and vigorous health Of brain and
body by such food and remedy as Scotch
Oats Essence2 Your child's life, perhaps
his sanity and his success In after years, de-
pend upon IL.
Besides, you have your own reward.
Scotch oats Essence is the only remedy that
will give quick, short, and painless labor.
1t will yield you rich, nourishing milk, give
Phosphorus to your baby's bones, muscle,
and brain, and strengthen It so that the
chances OF convulsions and the like are
reduced rs per cent.
II the little one Is born, cast aside all

yourself and give It to baby. 1t will do its
grand work without your bidding, and per-
haps save your little ones lie. But for 1t
