THE ESQUIMO

The Esquimo eats blubber.
The l. mbermen cat pork.
These people are constantly
exposed to cold and physical
strain. Experience has taught
them that fatty foods give
warmth and nourishment.
For those who have cold
and thin bodies, or are threat
ened with consumption or any
wasting disease, there is no fat
in so digestible and palatable a
form as SCOTS Emulsion

The Anglo-American Cable Com
pany objects to Marconi receiving
wireless messages In Newfoundland
on the ground that It has exclusive
rights in the transmission Of messages
To- and from thai territory If the
case should be taken to the courts we
might have an interesting discussion.
We doubt whether the discovercr could
be prevented from establishing certain
scientific apparatus on land owned or
leased by him. II there message
comes flashing DER the sea on ctheric
waves and makes a certain impression
on his instruments, which he inter
prets, is ne violating any charter
rights of any cable company? He has
laid no cable, and only asks the use
OF the air in transmitting his mes
sages. We have heard that certain
corporations own the earth, and THE
cable companies evidently own the
waters under the earth. but how far
does their franchise extend their rights
into the blue dome of heaven.

Talk Of sympathetic strikes re-

OF one that he conducted when only a

named Joe and me. The farmer decid-
ed to discharge the other fellow,
%whereupon Joe suggested that I should
stop work also, leaving the farmer In
a fix. This I did. I went out on a
sympathetic strike; but the result was
that the farmer hired Joe back again,
and I was left out in the cold" It
would not be safe to generalize too
broadly on his unhappy experience. II
1t carries any moral with it, we need
