PRESIDENTS ADDRESS

II believe that this is a proper tlrue, at
the beginning Of new century, TO call
your attention to the great increase in
the work Of not only our own society,
but other organizations. for benevolent
work. Fifty years ago | remember l
Only one small society i'm this city, the
OrIhan's Home For the next - years
We ind a few struggling societies, ont
within the past 20 years the increase has
been wonderful.
AT the present time we find i6i So
cieties in the United States for the preven-
tiun Of cruelty 10 children. and can say
that at least $500 o0o has been given within
the year, the New York society lead 'ng
iu the large sum OF Sl30,09O
IN foreign countries the number % so
cicties is rs. but when We see that The
United Kingdom has POO branches, divided
in Sac districts. although under one head,
we may say that the number is large
than I'm the states
"The great increase IN work mentioned
Is IN degree made successful by the
noble gifts OF money and work, the send
ing out OF humane literature and the
large influence OF the press Almost all
OF these societies are in constant want
Of funds. and il seems that In this rich
city larger contributions should be made
for their support The amount given In
this country Tor the past ten years Tor
educational work, public libraries, and
various benevolent societies, amounts to
over s2oOO0e,oU0 TO say nothing Of the
large amounts paid out by fraternsl So
Cieties.
"In spite OF all tai sgreat work. some
persons think that the world is growing
constantly worse, but ! think from what
has been accomplished. that IL Is becom-
ing better RAPIDLY This Is practical
Christianity following the example of the
Master. In view OF the facts presented
| firmly believe that il the good WORK
goes on in the same rate, as In the pas

on for the
Children.

Give them oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
ii child, and he laughs. Give
to the pale, anemic child,
nd his face becomes rosy and
I'LL 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 nor3tastcs like oil because
we are SO careful in making it
pleasant to take.
