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 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.
Scott s:Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try 1t If
your children do not thrive.
It is as useful for them In
summer as In winter.

Dry Goods

New York, September 10.-The week has shown transformation in the character of operations in dry goods. During the su!- try heat of the early part of the week and influenced by the occurrence of a holiday the market was languid. Since Thursday there has been a noticeable improvement in the temper of both buyers and sellers. The former are more liberal in their operations and the latter display more vim in the prosecution of business. At the close print cloths are quoted on basis of 1-16c for extra sixty-four squares, with everything later than spot delivery hard to obtain. Odd goods are also very firm, S8h-inch siXty-four squares, 5.15 being quoted at ? 13-1Gc Woolen and worsted goods have been very quiet during the week. Sellers have grown very pessimistic of the situa- ton.
