Make the Most OF Your Gifts.

Personality has done wonders with
both heredity and environment. 1t has
made moderate gifts accomplish mar
velous things. Men with moderate
gifts, by patient and persistent appli-
cation have put to shame the splendid
ly equipped, who have indolently frit-
tered away their patrimony. Out OF
the most untoward surroundings men
have found their way to the grandest
achievements. The boy from the log
cabin has outstripped the boy from the
palace. The barefooted boy has out
stripped the boy of pampered indul'
gence. The plodder has outstripped the
genius. The tortoise has passed the
hare. Whether a man be richly en-
lowed or moderately endowed. his sue
cess will depend on the use he makes
of what God has given him.-Independ

dragged off to the station house. With

Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
SCOTS Emulsionisthe mod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypoPhos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
