HOW TO GAIN FLESH

HOW 10 GAIN FLESH
Persons have been known tc
gain pound a day by taking
IN ounce of SCOTS emulsion
It is strange, but it otter
happens.
Somehow the ounce pro
luces the pound; it seems tc
start the digestive machinery
going properly, So that tie
patient is able to digest and
absorb his ordinary food, which
he could not do before, and
that's the way the gain is made.
A certain amount of flesh is
necessary for health; if you
have not got it you can get it
by taking SCOTS Emulsion.
You will find it just as use
full in summer as in winter, and
if you are thriving upon it don't
stop because the weather is
warm.
II you have not tried it, send for free sample

| A brief synopsis of the play is a
follows:
Rebecca is a founding adopted By
Mrs. Delains whe Is nurse to Mrs
Rokemans children, Mrs. Rokeman il
a rioh and naughty woman whose lover
in her young days had run away and
married her sister of whom no tidings
had been heard. Through the agency
of ring found in a cake at the cook
ing school and which had previously
belonged to Mrs. Rokeman's mother,
Rebecos's lineage is established and
Meg's identity as Mrs. Rokeman's
m lssing sister is restored. Miss Mary
Mccullough as Meg, the YaPrant,
whose mind has become unsettled by
trouble, made a splendid success OF
her part and won for herself many
laurels as dramatic actress. MiSt
Reta McKennOn as Rebecca was very
good indeed as were also Miss Olivia
Raeney as Mrs. Rokeman and Mist
Bertha Baker az Mrs. Delaine. These
young ladies scored quite o success in
their several characters and their act
ing was remarkably good. Miss Mamie
Webster took off the part of the Irish
+ PEASANT girl to perfection and Miss
, Nellie Greenlee as the oolored servant
girl carried the house by storm The
house was crowded and large sum
realized fer the church. Miss Rhetts
Mccullough, direotress of the Guild
and Mrs. E. f. Coney, deserve great
credit fer the time and labor spent or
making the play the success which il
undoubtedly was. The entire cast was
we'll chosen and each character was
we'll carried out.

turning the tide of immigration this way. Throughout the entire United States there is an increased desire for information concerning this land of the future. During the past two de- cades millions of dollars have been spent in the development of irrigation enterprises, ,reclaiming here and there areas, great and small, of unproduc- tive soil, affording homes for many thousands of people, who have found in this beautiful Southland health, wealth and happiness.
 "The lesson taught by the pioneers in their intensive system of agriculture has been well learned. Great is Southern California, but still greater is the delta of the Colorado, which, in the eastern part of San Diego county, alone furnishes a greater area of arable land than is under all of the

 "Water rights for more than one hundred thousand acres have been bought, and applications are being filed daily for more. Farmers are coming in from less favored districts, bringing with them their wagons and horses, for which they immediately find employment on the line of work mapped out by the company, receiving compensation at fair rate, either on a cash basis or part cash and part water stock.
 "The town of Imperial, which is sit uated in about the center of the sec ton west of the river, now has good hotel, general store, and a printing office. Lumber is on the ground for the construction of church which is being built entirely at the expense of

 "The great canyon of the Colorado, one of the most stupendous of nature's creations, was gradually deepened and widened through thousands of years for purpose. There can be no waste in the economy of nature; it was not that man might stand on the brink of this great chasm to gaze and wonder; a nobler end was in view. Gradually the shifting winds wrested from the arm of the sea, now called the Gulf of California, the upper portion of the basin into which have silted the rich earths of the mountains and plains traversed by the Colorado, creating a .principality, the fertility of whose soil is inexhaustible.

No party was ever given better opportunity to see what they went to see, and all re- turned well pleased with the trip and well stored with information regard ing the country through which they travelled and which they went to see.
 
 Secretary Wood was quite enthusias- tic, not only about the trip, but also about the country seen, and in a casual talk, which went only partially into the subject, yesterday afternoon said: "The rapidly developing commerce of the Pacific ocean and the conse- auent increase in importance of the states bordering its shores, is again
