How to Take Cod Liver Oil,

Nearly every one knows that when they
are thin there is no remedy in the world
equal to cod liver oil to make them t1eshy.
Yet there is nothing against which they re-
bel more promptly. There were great
many WAYS recommended for making cod
liver Oil pleasant. Among these we would
mention placing pinch of salt in The
mouth before and after taking dose of OIL
Syrup of bitter orange peel was also recon-
mended. But now all this is unnecessary.
Science has found way of making cod
liver not only pleasant to take, but easy to
digest Messrs. Scott 4 Bovine have
brought this science to perfection in their
Scott'S Emulsion, which is cod liver oil free
from disagreeeble odor, and taste, and al
ready partly digested.

Mr.. Whitney Tells What Was Done
Ten Years Ago.

81 am fully in accord with what Major
Howard says declared Mr.. j. H Whit
teS. superintendent of the National Mer-
oantile Agency, speaking of the low figures
given by the census takers to Richmond.
Il am sure that Richmond has a decidedly
larger population than that she is credited
with he continued.
II am in favor of a police census of the
city, and feel confident that an increase
of from 5000 to 5000 people will be shown
over the figures given by the census just
completed. l remember when about ten
years ago was chairman OF the Com
mittee on Information and Statistics of
the Chamber of Commerce, a police cen
s,s of Richmond was taken and the police
census showed big increase over the
Governments official count do not
think that Richmond has gotten all that's
coming to her.

The FIGURES RIDICULOUS.

GounI 10000 Short.

Count lG,SVO soisoiA-
Ma ;or Howard, Chef Of Police, said that
the figures as given out by the Ceiisus
Bureau were rid7culous
"a census taken by inexperienced men,
such as those who were appointed mere
must be- inaccurate. In my way OF seeing
things the population as given out IS at
least 10000 ssiurt OF the actual figures
AT the time II was begun many people

residences were closefl There We're hun
dreds Of men and women away at work
on the farms and gathering berries Many
of these latter go every year TO Inc DIG
farms around Norfolk and in other sec
tons. They are mostly colored people,
and nobody can tell exactly what the
number is by simply calling at the houses
and upon the neighbors.
81 feel satisfied that, even with the incen-
tive to make their reports as large as
possible. the enumerators did not use the
care that seemed necessary To secure the
best returns.
The police are the proper ones to take
census. They know almost every. one
in their districts. and are familiar with
the movements of ali of them. They know
when strangers move into town. and they
know when the natural increase comes to
a family.
THE police are also persistent, and are
-sf1I discouraged when they are once refused
information.
IF the City Council VIII make the
necessary appropriation. my men will Ut
once proceed to take what is called a
police census, and feel confident that
the returns viii bear me out in my state
snent that the popuIa ton given through
the census bureau, is far short of the
actual number.
THE population of Richmond should
be 100000. Had the corporate limits been
extended as proposed a short while ago,
this would have been the result. There

big difference, as compared to that just
