"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 Scott's Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

 A long meeting of the master painters was held last night in Trades council hall and after 1t was over it was an- nounced that all of the men employed by A. J. Thalberg, of 16 Madison street, who had held out against the union, had been induced to join. Their appli- cations were received and acted upon last night, and now every shop in the city employs none but union help.
 Thalberg's men are working on the new Young Mems Christian association building and were waited upon yester- day afternoon by a committee from the local union. The men were seen for a few moments and they speedily secured applications.
 There was a rurnor around last night to the effect that men in some of the big Orange street shops were about to strike, but this was denied at the meet ing last night.
