BLOOD

We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we arc being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow Of rich blood. This
is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back Of the blood, is food, to
keep the blood rich. When it
fails, take SCOTS emulsion Of
cod-liver oil. 1t sets the whole
body going again-man woman
and child.
Wen send you little to Try. Il you like.

Notwithstanding ths mighty protest
Of the Tacoma chamber of commerce,
the Nicaraguan canal bin viii be passed.
The attempt Of that insignificant body
to stem the tide Of progress betrays q
spirit the possession Of which explains
why Tacoma has stood still in the last
decade. The petty spirit which opposes
great national reforms and improve
ments on the ground Of some advantage
conferred upon the balance OF the
country to the fancied detrimert of
une's own community is neither enter
prising nor patriotic. Even If it be
granted that the construction of the
Nicardguan canal would injure the
shipping interests Of Tacoma, which We
DO not believe. the undoubted benefit
gained by the country at large makes
such a selfish spirit seem mean, TO say
the least. It is just such spirit on
the part Of Portland which is keeping
this state in the background. AS long
as the largest city Of the state remains
firmly persistent in its efforts to down
every interest in the state which does
not work directly for the upbuilding
Of Portland. the entire state must suf-
fer and Portland with the rest.
