Awe Inspiring Sight

San Francisco, Aug. "A specim to the
Chronicle from Vancouver, B. C., says:
The steamer Farallon arrived in van
couver today. Thursday night she left
skagway and at that time Captain Rob-
erts says Skagway was threatened win
destruction by fire. Fifteen or twenty
houses were in flames as the steamer cast
on her ropes, and the last report he re-
ceived was that an inadequate fire bri-
gade was attempting to keep the flames
from the dynamite sheds where the rail-
way company had its powder stored. This
seemed to him impossible, as the fire was
rapidly spreading. People were panic
stricken. and the forests surrounding the
town were all ablaze. 1t was an awe IN
spiring sight and looked from the water
as If nothing counld save the town.

Does Baby
hrive?

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 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.
