SORE NECK

Take SCOTS Emulsion for
scrofula. Children often have
sores on the neck that won't
heal up. The sores may come
and go. Parents may not
know what's the matter nor
what to do. Scrofula is the
trouble and SCOTS Emulsion
is the medicine.
SCOTS Emulsion heals the
sores. But that is not all.
Scrofula leads to consumption.
This is the real danger.
SCOTS Emulsion is the
"ounce of prevention" that
keeps off consumption.

took his seat among the other passen-
gers, and when the conductor re-
quested his ticket or cash fare, he as

4 woman OF means who owned

son was very fond of two beautiful
beech trees which stood near her resi-

a house at Newport. and decided that
thereafter she would spend her sum
mers at that resort of fashion. .Ac-
cOrdingly she sold her place on the
Hudson; but in parting with it she
could not bear TO leave behind her
favOrite beeches. She consulted a
firm engaged in the business OF NOV
ing large trees, and they undertook
the task of transporting the two full
grown beeches from eastern New
York to Newport
The undertaking was carried out
with great care: the trees were taken
up, placed on scOw>, carried down
the Hudson and up Long Island
