Mr.. Bryan, in a recent interview, Is
credited with saying: In ls9i and
1900 the majority Of the voters Of this
country said by their ballots that they
did not want me ~ their ruler, and
think ! would be- imposing upon them
by giving them am opportunity to vote
against me again The term ruler
is in very bad form. There are no
rulers in this country but the people
and all the officers of the government,
from president down, are servants of

Imperialism, which Mr.. Bryan is sup

OIL for the
Children.

Give them oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to sec the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anamic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
Of course you must use the
right oil. SCOTS Emulsion
is the one.
SCOTS Emulsion neither
looks nor tastes like oil because
we are so careful in making it
pleasant to take.

As there are 100000 square miles
of land on the earth, and as we are to
consider 1000 persons to each square
mile as the equivalent of the worlds
being full. 1t follows that we want a
world population of 80, 1000, 00O, 900 of
persons to fulfill this condition.
A glance at the above statement of
growth In the worlds population shows
that the necessary growth from 1,G00,-
100000 in the year 1900 to the 52,000,-
100000 of persons wanted for our pur.
pose will eyentuate in the year $3.50, al
