Fuel for Force

Your body must have
force, nervous force. mus
cular force, digestive force.
Fat is the fuel used to
supply this force. If you
are weak in any of these
forces, use more fuel.
The cod liver oil in SCOTS
Emulsion is the best fuel
for this work. Your nerves
grow stronger. your muscu-
lar power increases, and
your digestion improves.

THE LEIPER-DAvIs oUAERIEs.

Representing Northern capitalists,
Mr.. George 6. Leiper, of Chester, Pa,
has leased the Leiper-Davis quarries,
in this county. Arriving at Aston
quite recently with a carload of ma
chinery be has commenced the opening
of the Holley deposit and has already
made shipments Of this unusually fine
granite to Philadelphis and other
points in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Leiper is
a quarryman Of lifelong experience,
representing the third generation Of
his family who have operated the cele.
brased Lciper quarries at Chester, Pa.
H.yin, had his attention directed to
the Leiper-Davis qusrriss he explored
them last year, carrying home with
him two carloads of samples. While
the other deposits proved to be of fine
granite the specimsns from the Holley
and Martin ledges were fouad 10 re of
extra fue quality-the Helley granite
being pronounced the finest in texture
and c. dor for monumental work ever
offered in the Northern markets-supe-
rier to the celebrated Westerly stone
Of Massachusetts.
A striking characteristic of The noted
granite fields Of Faird sld County is
that tho quality Of stone improves in a
westerly direction until the Holley
ledge IS reached where the grade
shades otto the banks of B:ola River,
the Hollsy forming tho apex of the
angle of quality.
Plenty OF capital is behind Mr..
Leiper and the prediction is conf.
dentiy msde if there is Nd disspp oint'
ment in the stone as the ledge is
: opened, that the commercial centre of
the granite business will shift from

wild, but kept within reasonable bounds,
SO that it never had any bonded indebted

Today the town does not owe q cent to

Still the town has spent considerable

council to order walk built to connect
with walk In front of residence of any
