Does Baby
I 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.
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.

''This," says the Press, lis two-thirds

Che Official Paper OF San Juan County
THURSDAY. JUNE %, 1899.
WAGES AND COST OF LIVING.

A comparison of the wages paid and
their purchasing power in 1898 and
1870 reveals some interesting facts in
support of the contention that of all the
workpeople in the world those of the
United States are the best paid, the best
FED, the best clothed and the best
housed. 1t was shown in the Massa-
chusetts Labor Bulletin for January,
1899, that, taking the average of daily
wages for eighteen different occupations
in twelve American cities, there had
been gained in 1898 over 1872 an ad-
vance in sixteen of the avocations, while
in the remaining two the wages re-
manned the same. But 1t also appears
that the workingman has gained in an
other direction, that of lower prices for
the necessaries of life. The prices of
groceries and provisions, the articles for
which the greater part of ordinary
wages is spent, have decreased as wages
have advanced. In these two general
classes the only articles that are higher
now than twenty odd years ago are
cornmeal and mutton chops. The con-
dition of the wage Garner, estimated on
a purely material basis, is about 80 per
cent better than it was twenty odd
years ago. In most lines of industry.
wages have been advanced from 5 to
80 per cent within a year, and as they
are still advancing and prices of pro-
visions are still falling, the wage earn
ers' condition is even better now than
here indicated.
1t is the boast of Protection that it
has raised wages and lowered prices at
one and the same time. 1t has made
life easier and happier to countless mill
lions of people, and it has made the
United States the spot toward which
the toilers of other countries look with
longing eyes.
