"A PERTINENT QUERY.
"Citizen" Makes Many Good
Suggestions.

Carson, June 18th, 1901.
ED. APPEAL:-I have seen the pub
lished list of the Carnival Committee
and their stated duties, and desire to
make suggestion or two. AS we'll
wisher for the success of the coming
Carnival, desire to call attention to
some apparent oversig hts and suggest
that steps be at once taken to perfect
insure successful results.
From all information so far received
it is conceded bv nearly verybody
that at least three to four thousand
visitors will be with us between the
3rd, and 9Th, of July next. 1t should
be the wish of all good citizens that
Carson so fortunate in it's location, it's
good water and excellent sewer system,
its beautiful trees and many pretty
lawns should be made to look its best.
Nature at present is doing it's best, the
citizens should do theirs. Remember
that first impressions are often lasting
ones-let US endeavor to make the first
one in this case lasting one. Hun
dreds of summer tourists will, no doubt
arrange to have their celebration here.
1t would not be unreasonable for US to
at least imagine that some good may
come fromathe visit of these strangers.
Many towns. with much less attrac-
tions, have become boom towns,
simply on the locating Of few health
seekers. All that is necessary is a
starter, there is no question, we have
the climate and everything else except
the wealth. No doubt that is conceal
ed in the mountains about us-liable
any day to be uncovered.
The oversight referred to is q com.

street is constantly being improved the
walks on many Of the cross and back
streets are disgrace ard should not

Again assuming that we have only
three thousand visitors, it would b,

of very interesting character. At
this time it may not be out of place to
state that Professors Blanchet and
Warfel have received a very lucrative
offer to locate in Texas. This should
not, however, result in a discontin-

HOW TO GAIN FLESH

Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTS emulsion.
1t is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce pro
duces the pound it seems t.
start the digestive machiner
going properly, so that the
patient is able to digest and
absorb his ordinary food, which
he could not do before, and
that is 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.

Local building contractors are COM
planning about the scarcity OF carpenters.
Several OF them have been advertising
for help but there seems to be very few
carpenters who are out of work. Just at
this time there is good deal OF building
going on and carpenters are needed.
Early in the season work was a little
slack here and number of carpenters
went to Baltimore and Washington. where
there was plenty OF work Tor which the
pay was good. Some OF the contractors
are offering big inducements for hands.
