but of a quiet, CT, i've citizen
who knows his l. like the
alphabet. The s. he says, is
all right in theory, and would be all
right in practice if proper attention
were given to getting conscientious,
efficient men to enforce the laws.
The trouble is said to be that oys-
termen are often allowed to disregard
the regulation in connection with
taking the young oysters from the
beds. When everything is taken up
without discrimination, the beds have
no reproductive material and become
valueless. This year oysters from
the James and Rappahannock aud
other river beds, which used to yield
oysters opening gallon to the bushel,
open only half gallon to the bushel.
Virginia should not suffer her
magnificent oyster interests to be
destroyed. She should not permit
the goose that lays the golden egg to
be killed before her eyes. Ifashake-
up in the inspection system is needed,
there should be no hesitation about
performing the duty. The matter is
Important; look to it. The laws are
good; but the trouble with the law
generally nowadays is that it is not
enforced with sufficient vigor.

"The average saloon ought to be con.

How, then, shall we defend the aversge

but condemn It. We must stand abreast
of the most advanced public sentiment;
we must oppose prohibition, but favor
only decent tradei we must offer society
q substitute for the average saloon; we
mast ask society TO join with us In secur-
ing model license laws; we must demand
character qualifications aud get men in
the retail liquor business who will con-
duct their places as drug stores, for in
stance, are conducted. We must help to
clean the Augean stables; we must lift
the business cut OF the rut into which II
has run for so long time; we must prove
that we are the friends of law, order

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old,
fashioned remedy for con.
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and Ioe
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 sEmulSionis themod.
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 special
action on the diseased lungs.
