Wasting

Are you nervous, restless,
pale and easily tired? Per
haps the scales can tell you
why. If your weight is
below your average, that
explains if.
SCOTS Emulsion is a fat
producing food. You soon
begin to gain and you keep
on gaining long after you
stop taking it. For all
wasting diseases, in both
young and old, it is the one
standard remedy.

Despite a dozen other conflicting ar

is strong and growing belief that Mr..

occur in a few days, and that General

come vice-president. and continue to

OF president is recognized by every one
familiar with railroads and railroaders.
1t is presumed that the promotion of
Mr.. Stevens. or, rather the imposition
of additional duties. will carry with 1t
additional salary. MIR. Stevens has been

To the Patrons of the Pure Food
Exhibition: tr
Inquiries liave been made as to the
value of orders given by the attendants
at the different exhibits In the P,ire
Food show. If the grocer upon whom
the order was given (at the, request
of the purchaserl, has not the article
purchased the order is good in any

Is good for any other article of equal
value If taken by any grocer in the

LONDON MARKET
Opened Strong This Morning Before
Public Became Anxious.

New York, Jan. 24.-(spl)-while
this mornings intelligence in respect
to the situation in South Africa could
hardly be regarded as encouraging,
the LONDON stock market was report
cd strong, with substantial advances
in the American quarter. The local
market opened fairly active and ma
terially higher, in response to this
circumstance. The advances in the
London list stocks were pronounced
notably in Louisville and Nashville
and st. Paul. As the New York mar
ket continued to rule below the Lon
don market parity, foreign houses
bought stocks quite freely in the
early dealings. Brooklyn rapid tran
sit was the only active feature of the
local traction issues, which were
otherwise rather quiet Sugar rein.
ing, United States leather, common,
and Glucose sugar refining We're the
features of the Industrial quarter.
As was the case yesterday. little at
tention was paid to any other fea-
lures of the situation than the condi-
tions in South Africa.

CHARGES
Against Commissioner Of

Will Not be Presented-The Bushnell
Appointments.
Especial Correspondence.) }

tSpeclal correspondence
Columbus, Jan. 24.-It has at last
been definitely determined that the
question of the confirmation of ex-Gov-
ernor Bushnelrs recess appointments
will come before the Senate on Thurs
day and Friday of this week. A eau
Gus of the Republican Senators will be
held at the apartments of Lieutenant
Governor Caldwell this evening and
final decision in each case will be
reached. Governor Nash's wishes will
be respected in each instance and there
is a growing impression that he will be
even more lenient than had been at
first supposed.
State Insurance Commissioner Mat
thews, acting upon the Governors re-
quest held conference with him on
Monday, and, contrary to all expecta-
tions, received assurance that his case
would be settled amicably and, so fas
as is possible, to the satisfaction of all
concerned. The commissioner will be
allowed to retain his present Office for
some time, probably until June 1, in
order that he may complete his report
and close other important business.
1t has just developed that Captain
Matthews, two weeks ago, offered to
tender Governor Nash his resignation,
which the Governor declined to accept
at that time. Then the commission
er was informed that charges were to
be brought against his official conduct

PRACTICAL FARM NOTES.

FOR feed. Selling crops will do away
with this trouble, and they are neces-
sary to save the expense OF heavy
grain feeding which must be done
when the pasture falls short Keep
the following plan in mind and put it
in practice next year. For herd OF
from seven to ten cows plant i've acres
in corn. Put in one acre as carly as it
is possible to get 1t in, using Cros-
by's early sweet corn. At the season
for planting regular corn, put in two
acres OF Evergreen corn, followed by
the two remaining acres in Evergreen,
at the time when the other. lot is a
foot high. If by chance the pasture
does not fail the corn may be fed
with additional profit. Sow the seed
in drills, dropping two or three grains
foot apart. Cut as needed from the
time 1t begins to ear until the leaves
are dried. This soiling crop will keep
up the milk flow, no matter what be-
comes of the pasture, and If added to
the ration even when the pasture is
good. it will increase the flow and
save the expense of heavy grain feed
ing.
