How to Take Cod LIVER Oil.

Nearly everyone knows that when
they are thin there is no remedy in the
world equal to cod liver oil to make
them fieshy. Yet there is nothing
against which they rebel more
promptly. There were a 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
the dose OF oil. Syrup OF bitter orange
peel was also recommended. But now
all this is unnecessary. Science has
found way of making cod liver oil not
only pleasant TO take, but easy to digest
Messrs. Scott & Bovine have brought
tins science to perfection in their
Scott's Emulsion, which is cod liver oil
free from disagreeable odor, and taste,
already partly digested.

Wood county has a free rural mail de-
livery route, and In every instance the
people are highly pleased with the new
system. AS yet Perrysburg's surround
fng territory has not been provided
with the new system and
the question is frequently
asked why this is true. The people
can have the system introduced II they
but ask Tor It and show to the Postal
Department that the 1t can be
made beneficial to enough people to
warrant the expense, and We believe
this can be done very easily.

life is wrapped up in the interests of
the schools of the county. He is good
organizer, good Judge of a good
teacher, and there is not a drop of lazy
blood in his whole being. When there
is anything on hand to do for the i'm
provement of the schools Bristol is at 1t
with bare hands and vlgor to succeed :.
He has held the position for over four
years Shlawassee rural schools are in

sounds like a good thing, but when we
know we have good man do not spec
ulate upon some one that has not been

THE LEGISLATURE
LOOMS Liquor Bill Laid on the
Table in the Senate.
SENATE GIVEN GOOD ADVICE

BY Ex-senator Thompson, Who Sug.
gests An Adjournment and Jour
ney Homeward--Several Bills Re.
ferred to Committees.
Lansing, Mich, March 19.-In the
senate Monday night, Senator Muriin
caused to be taken from the commit
tee of the whole and referred to the
judiciary committee Senator LOOMS
bill prohibiting the selling of liquor
within 500 feet of school or church
Atwood moved to amend to refer to
the committee on religious and beney-
olent institutions, saying that LOOMS
had requested this. Helme offered as
substitute that the bill go to the
committee on liquor traffic, insisting
that this committee was constituted
for the purpose of handling bills on
this subject. Muffin said that bills
had to go to the judiciary committee.
as it was of the greatest Importance
and five-man committee could give
it the best attention. Further than
this, he said, there is grave ques-
ton Of its constitutionality, and it's
title is clearly defective. Muffin said
the passage of the bill would cut off
three-fourths of the saloons in his dis
trict and cause loss of thousands of
dollars annually to the taxpayers of
Wayne county. The matter was dis
posed of by a withdrawal of all mo-
tions and tabling the pill to await the
return of Loomis.
Ex-senator w. G.. Thompson and
ex-Rep. Lou Burch stirred this up. Ex-
Senator Thompson was invited to ad-
dress the senate. He said he was no
"dowager senator" with, lot of adj
vice to give. If he were to give any
advice at all, 1t would be to adjourn
and go home. He believed the sena-
tors private business would be bene-
flied by such action, and knew the
state would be the gamer.
Senator Baugh9m had three bills
taken from the table and referred to
the committee on finance and appro-
priations. They relate, respectively,
to the salary of the dairy and food
commissioner, the regulation of the
manufacture and sale of black pepper,
and amending the law relative to the
adulteration Of food products. Kelly
had the Muskegon charter bill passed
and given immediate effect. When
the bill relative to elections in Calu-
met township, Calumet county, was
returned, as per Senator Fuller's re.
quest, all steps that had been taken
were retraced and the bill was amend.
81 so as to provide that the hoard
"maV" instead of "shan' erect cpYt0ir
election precincts. The bill was thea
passed.
On Senator Murfn's rct'on Req.
BANDS house bill amending Detroit's
charter was taken from the table and
refer"od 20 the committee on cities
and villages.
