SHOULD THEY FIGHT?
Not England and the United
States.
But Children of All Ages and Conditions.
Timely Reinforcements in the
Battle for Existence.

Perhaps you have an answer for us
10 this question all ready. And per-
haps we may disagree with YOU.
Listen to our side of the story. Is it
not a terrible warfare which sweeps
from the face of the earth onc-third of
all children under live years OF ageP
Yet this is the history of the great
struggle in which we are all engaged
the battle of life. Some children Weld
at the first approach of disease, while
others make grand struggle for exist
ence. In this sense. then, we are all
agreed that children should be good
fighters. They can best fight disease
when they are hearty and strong
We do not nean simply when they are
fat. Fat is not muscle. They need
strong bone, sound nerves and firm
muscles The natural food for all in
fants is milk The fat of this food,
the cream, exists in the mill, as minute
globulcs, resembling in this respect
the minute globules OF fat found in
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
Hypophosphitcs. There is also min
eral matter in milk, and il is in Scott's
Emulsion aS well. This preparation
looks like milk, and children soon be-
come fond Of it. So many infants and
young children do not appear TO derive
much benefit from their food. They
remain extremely thin, weak, do not in
crease in weight or height They seem
to have some disease which is actually
wasting the body away. Their system
calls for food, and vet the food does
not nourish them. But food they must
have. They also need some remedy
which will alter or change the action
of the organs of the body to healthy
activity. There are remedies which
naturally exist in cod-liver oil that
are capable of making this change.
For this reason they are called alter
atives." The hypophosphites are also
of service, as they strengthen the
nervous system, which is the great
seat of power. The poorly nourniShed
body calls for fatty food, such as the
TAT of cod-l,yer oil These are the
reasons why SCOTS Emulsion haa
proved SO Alluable to children. 1t RS.
stores healthy action. 1t feeds 1t
nourishes. Itsupplies needed material
to the growing body. We cannot state
too strongly the Importance of these
few early years 70 future health and
happiness. Children do not seem to
bear raw cod-liver oil well. 1t is so
difficult to digest But the oil In
SCOTS Emulsion has already been
digested, and Is, therefore, in condi.
ton to render prompt aid.
Seott'S Emulsion contains more pure
Norwegian Cod-liver Oil than any other
emulsion in the world, that will stand
the test of time as being a perfect in.

STEALING INVENTIONS.
There Is Some Difference Between an
Idea and InVcntion-nn
Important One.

Some remarks that cannot fail to
interest and instruct many readers of
this page were made a few days ago at
convention of mechanical engineers
by James W. See. Some of his other
talk on patents and invention, which
appealed TO manufacturers and lawyers
rather than inventors, were valuable,
but need not be REPRODUCED here.
ideas can be stolen from the origina-
tor" said MIR. See, but there is no cN-
cuse for inventions being stolen. An
idea is not an invention, but is merely
n hopeful conception of a possibility,
The invention is the possibility reduced
tC form. Many men have ideas which
are mere visions and which never can
be given form by anybody; other men
have ideas which they would be incapa-
bic of reducing 20 form themselves, but
which could be reduced to form by
others if the idea was disclosed. The
mere hint or idea is Of no benefit to the
public, and is not the thing which the
law seeks to reward. The useful in
vention is the thing which is recognized.
at is quite common when meri-
torious inventor has got his patent to
hear numerous men say: lie stole
that from me- when the fact was there
was nothing to steal, no invention. but
merely an idea.
THE law rewards him who ac-
composites something instead Of him
N,hn u,ap,1x- 80 J, E.
OF a certain accomplishment. Regard
less OF who first coUceives of tho Gesira-
bility OF an invention, he who actually
makes the invention first is the one en-
titled to reward. The idea of an in
venton, followed by occasional and
half-hearted attempts to reduce the
thing to the form of an invention, will
not prevail against the meritorious in
vcntor, who, though later to conceive
the idea, or even borrow II, is he first
to reach the goal OF practical accom-
piShment which benefits the world
But If an inventor has gone further
than the idea, and has developed ii into
an invention, then the only way he can
lose his rights IS to keep it secret, so
that he cannot prove that he had any
rights. The originator of an invention
who has reduced it to an actual, useful
invention, and can prove that fact, cam
not be deprived of his rights. A com
pcting inventor may meet him in the
patent Office with an application, or the
competinginventor may actually get his
patent before the meritorious inventor
las applied for his patent, but if the
facts are susceptible OF proof the meri-
torous inventor, after proper interior
ence proceedings, will be adiuGgcd his
rights and will get his patent, and the
patent Of his competitor will be prac
ticallY void w. Y Tribune.

HsT to Perform This Sometimes Eeo.
cssary Operation.
Although bees are not kept in this
country for the wax they make, ii some
times becomes necessary to extract the
wax, and the best way to do it is set
forth in an exchange, the name of which
has been lost.
Tie up the pieces Of comb in piece
Of old cotton cloth. Then take an or
'liuary baking pan and fin half full of
water. Across the top of this place two
slender sticks and on the sticks lay the
cloth containing the wax, being sure to
so place it that the wax will drip into
the pan and so as to prevent the cloth
from touching the water
Now place the pan in the oven Of the
stove and keep up a moderate heat.
Watch it that the water does not boil
nor the cloth scorch, as this denotes too
high a temperature. As the wax be-
comes hot it will drip through the cloth
and rest on the top in fluid form, all
lowing any impurities in it, such as dirt
or propolis to sink through and fall to
the bottom of the pan.
When the wax ceases to drip remove
the cloth and stick. and shut the oven
door, letting the fire in the stove die
out and the oven become cold beforer re-
moving the pan. II the stove must he
used, take the pan out vcga carefully
and cover it with pot lid or piece of

the pan and the cake Of wax. pure and
clean, may be taken from the pan If
allowed to cool too quickly the cake OF
wax will crack. AnywaX that may stick
to the pan may he removed with easo-
line without trouble.
Usually the best place to sell wax is
to some manufacturer Of foundation. as
they require first-ciass wax and pay the
best prices for it. Often there NAV he

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

The English ivy does not harm tree
on which it grows.
See if a little less water on irrigated
land will not be better.
Fruit when placed in cold storage
should be firm and hard.
Sprinkling plants with water, when
frost is expected will protect them.
Pears TO be put in cold storage should
be picked before they begin to ripen.
Watermelons ought not to be grown
on the same ground oftener than three
years.
The grape vine trained TO a single
stake has never done its best in our ex-
perience.
Tomatoes are so hardy hat hey may
be tr6nsplanted even after the fruit
begins to set.
If grapes have been planted too close.
~ and become too thick. better take
out every other vine.

kinds plenty of room and heroically
Trims his fruit, will get the best re.

CIRCULATI0N Is LIFE.

ested in Good Roads lSui.tiin;r.

The roads and highways OF a civil di.
vision are ne, the veins and arteries OF
the human system, says the SufTern
Independent. Life and health, that j.,
business and prosperity If each par!
can be had and secured only by the
freest circulation. and the coudrit>
must not be allowed to clog While the
limb would wither if the circulation
was interrupted, the heart would also
suffer. Where would the proud city
of New York be without her maenif
cent railways, and what would have
been her condition if the great blizzard
of 1883 had continued a month?
The village with its paved streets
and tagged walks may say: Let the
farmer build his roads; he is the party
benefited" The lord of the manor who
surrounds his grounds with high wall
and morass. and then beauties his
place for his own enjoyment and bene-
fit may be wise if he has within him

"a Clog to Prosperity as Well as Comfort.)
The village which has placed its streets
in perfect condition and has neglected
the highways leading thereto, has ar
ranged, like the lord of the manor, to
live in seclusion.
Has the village all it requires? Does
1t depend upon anything or anybody for
its existence, growth and prosperity?
Is it not, in fact, most dependent? Does
not every village depend upon the ex-
tent of the accessible area of which it
Is the center and metropolis, and the
prosperity of that area?
The village cannot shift the burden
upon the farmer, nor the farmer upon
his brother farmer. Each is interested,
and the contiguity of the highway is
but an incident. Suppose the Erie rail
road were abandoned; whose loss would
be the greater, that of the farmer living
within one-half mile. or the one mile
distant?
