SCOTS Emulsion of Cod-lvcr Oil and
HypOphosphtcs is so useful in all
wasting diseases, such as Consumption,
Anamia, ScrOfua, rheumatism, Bron-

children, is because it furnishes to the
depleted blood the iattening and en-

bones and nervous system the phos-
phorescent and vitalizing properties of
the Hypophosphiles, which together
nourish the body, arrest the progress

The Chickamauga and Chattanooga
National Military Park is the grandest
reservation of it's kind in the world, and
In many respects the most comprehensive
and extended military object lesson. The
United States Government has spent ON
it $4,000 since its establishment was
authorized in 1890, and various State
Governments about $4,000 more, max
ing a total Of $1,250,OOO. The plan was
to restore the old lines of the Chicka-
manga and Chattanooga campaigns
(Sept. 1920 and Nov. 24-25, 1852 as they
were when the battles were fought, to
mark all the points Of attack or defense
by either side, to set up monuments to
commemorate the troops which fought,
and 80 far as practicable restore the fields
to their original condition; and this design
has been carried out to the letter.
The ~Chickamauga and Chattanooga
campaigns were in a measure representa-
tive of the whole country. Chickamauga
Is held by military experts to have been
the best demonstration Of the pluck, en-
durance, prowess and strategy of the
American soldier ever given and, meas
ured by percentage of losses and the dur
alton Of the fighting, the deadliest conflict
Of modern times, while its sequel and
companionpiece, Chattanooga, is consid-
cred to have been the most spectacular
engagement.
OF the ten square miles constituting the
area Of the park something over 5000
acres are forest and about loco acres
open farms. A central driveway, passing
through and overlooking all the heavy
fighting ground, has been built twenty
miles long. Forty-two miles of the roads
of the battles have been reopened and i'm
proved in a substantial and enduring
manner, and new roads have been closed
up. Many Of the minor roads have also
been cut out and graded, so that there are
now about sixty miles of Griveways in tho
park, all of them along the roads of the
war. The removal of underbrush and the
clearing out of the new growth of timber
have opened the forest so that carriages
