Does Baby
Thrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
Ask jour doctor if his is not true.

brought forth the faded coat of blue which
the doctor wore when he was captain of Co.
B, End regiment of Kansas volunteers, in
1861 Although the garment was without
lining, buttons and epaulets, it quickly took
the place of the dress coat and thejpeaceful
doctor was again soldier and with flashing
eyes and military bearing was giving deci-
sive commands in quick succession. The
buttons of the coat had all been saved and
were distributed through the family, to be
made into articles of jewelry which will be
worn with pride by their possessors because
of their history.

Some one has enquired as to the words

cadja was the name Of a central state of
ancient Greece, section environed by
mountains and whose inhabitants We're de-
voted TO pastoral pursuits. Nov the word
is manly taken to mean region Of TO
nance Acadia designates the home Of

The Hon. Z. X. O. Bren of Thomaston
is getting the support of many newspapers
and many prominent citizens in various
parts Of the State for his aspiration to
become member of the Board of Rail
road Commissioners. But this is an
office in which that kind of support
does not count for much The people
that Mr. Oh rien wants to see are the
railroad people. If he can get their sup
port it will help his candidacy immensely
1t appears to be the unwritten law OF the
State that the railroads shall have the
selection of the gentlemen whose duty it
is to supervise them. Portland Press
This appears to be very good plea in
favor OF the appointment of Mr. O. Brien

The A laska craze has taken to Pacific
waters quite an amount of tonnage which
will never return, mainly fishing scbooners
and vessels Of that class. Few vessels of
this type have been built for some wears
past, and many have worn out OF met with
shipWrecE. Then the war with Spain has
resulted in the transfer to the government
of many merchant steamers and steam
yachts, and at the close of hostilities, with
Porto Rico under the stars and stripes and
Cuba practically under our control. there
must be great development of trade in
that direction and consequent increased
demand for briggs and schooners of a mod
crate size. Belfast should secure some of
the orders for new vessels which will un-
doubtedly be given out soon, and her rep
utation for turning out staunch and speedy
craft should stand Der in good stead.
