For Tiger.

No use to hunt tigers with
bird-shot. 1t doesn't hurt the
tiger any and it's awfully risky
for you.
Consumption is a tiger
among diseases. 1t is stealthy
but once started it rapidly
eats up the flesh and destroys
the life. No use to go hunting
it with ordinary food and med
icine. That's only bird-shot.
1t still advances. Good heavy
charges of SCOTS Emulsion
will stop the advance. The
disease feels that.
SCOTS Emulsion makes the
body strong to resist. 1t
soothes and toughens the lungs
and sustains the strength until
the disease wears itself out.

A very fortunate and most narrow
escape from conhagration took place at
Pittsfeld one night recently In the base.
ment of the store of I E Getchell.
Carpenters have beeu busily engaged in
making repairs and an extension to the
rear of the store of late. Sawdust was
placed upon the floor near the oil bar
rels and the workmen passing back and
forth in front of the barrels occasionally
would hit one OF the faucets and some
of the oil would mingle with the saw
dust Mr.. Witham who is employed at
the store went into the basement one
evening TO fasten the rear door. 1t was
dark and so to better acquaint himself
with the surroundings he struck a
match, the birthstone flew into the saw
dust and in q second there was flash
blaze that reached the ceiling B. 5
Matthews who occupied the next store
heard Williams outcry and hustled to
the scene with fire extinguisher. His
work was effective and the blaze started
under the most propitious circumstances
was soon out. A delay of few mo-
ments and the fire would have gained a
good Roadway and a loss of several hun
dred dollars would have been certain.
