DON'T GET THIN

Get fat; get nice and plump;
there is safety in plumpness.
Summer has tried your food
works; winter is coming to
try your breath-mill. Fall is
the time to brace yourself.
But weather is tricky; look
out! Look out for colds espec-
tally.
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil is the subtlest Of helps. 1t
is food; it is one of the easiest
foods in the world; it is more
than food; it helps you digest
your food, and get more nutri-
ment from it.
Don't get thin, there's safety
in plumpness. Man woman
and child.

AMERICA MUST STAY IN CUBA.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27-several Of the
passengers Of the steamer Havana,
which has just arrived from Havana,
express the opinion that Cuba is not in
a political condition to receive her in
dependence. DR.. w. c. Phelps, Of Buff
falo. says:
Uncle Sam must stay in Cuba
Everybody with whom have con-
versed in Cuba wants the United States
to stay there. 1t is only the rabble or
negroes, consisting Of about 30 per cent
Of the entire population Of Cuba, who
yell for free Cuba and these shiftless
people are merely fire eaters If they
got their freedom some other nation
would step in and take the island from
them for debt l must say that the
streets Of Havana are clean and that
the general health is remarkably good
The great trouble in Cuba is that theDe
is nothing fit to eat"
Jos. Howard, the journalist, says:
"If the United States tries to leave
Cuba next June, as is talked Of, they
will have to get back there pretty
quick to avert state Of anarchy
which would undoubtedly follow their
withdrawal. Capital is apprehensive.
There is no trade. All are waiting
Americans and the capitalists want the
retention of the United States troops"
