death, and the pastor dwelt upon
the compensations for the shadows

The unusal crop of cunning ac-
cidents recorded this year leads to
the belief that hunters are in more
danger from shots by their compan-
ions than IS the game. Thirteen
cases of such fatal shooting have
occurred in the Adirondacks within
a few weeks to say nothing of the
number wounded or crippled for
life. One victim was woman shot
by another woman which is some-
thing of satire on a supposedly
gentle sex. One of the most prolific
causes of these accidents is the pro-
pensity to fire at any thing stirring
before determining whether it is
a person or an animal Laws may
be enacted against such killings but
no law will protect one from an
excited fool, better not go in the
woods with such unless you have
an insurance and are willing to be

proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
IS the most satisfactory treat
ment.
