MUST vAccINArE
Pupils at State Normal Cannot Es-
cape the Ordeal.

Emporia, Kas., March S0.-The new
state medical law passed by the legisla-
ture is being enforced here by the board
of health.
Heretofore when they have ordered
vaccination of all pupils in the state
normal. President Taylor has not felt
himself authorized to enforce the order
more than to demand that a certificate
be produced from reputable physician
that the order had been complied with.
This enabled some to avoid vaccination
who were opposed to it, they being sup
piled by physicians with certificates
that they had been treated with i'm
mune powders" which these doctors de-
clared were just as good If not better
as a preventive than vaccination.
This morning, under the provisions of
the new law, the board of health made
a peremptory order on President Taylor
that nothing but bona fide vaccination
would be a compliance with the de-
mands and immune powders no
longer fill the bill.

The quickest relief for a
cold is by SCOTS emulsion Of
cod-liver oil.
You will find the edge taken
off in a night; and, in three or
four days, you'll be wondering
whether that cold amounted to

That's relief. If you tackle
