For Tiger

No use to hunt tigers with
bird-shot. 1t doesn't hurt the
tiger any and it's awfully risky
for you.
Consumption is a tiger
among diseases. 1t is stealthy
but once started it rapidly
eats up the flesh and destroys
the life. No use to go hunting
it with ordinary food and med
icine. That's only bird-shot.
1t still advances. Good heavy
charges of SCOTS Emulsion
will stop the advance. The
disease feels that.
SCOTS Emulsion makes the
body strong to resist. 1t
soothes and toughens the lungs
and sustains the strength until
the disease wears itself out.

WEST Virginia has had several pc

WEST Virginia has had several po-
litical sensations the past week. Last
Saturday the first convention of the
season was held at Parksrsburg, and
it resulted in a serious defeat for Sen
ator Scott. His candidate for the
State Senate, C. B. Smith, was knocked
out by Charles Caldwell, brother of
James L. Caldwell, the Huntington
millionaire who is after SCOTS seat In
the United States Senate. Following
this comes the sad news from Jackson
county that an anti-Scott man has
been nominated for the State Senate
there. 1t is said to be almost GER
tainty that Senator Scott will lose
Ohio county, his home, which will go
for his other opponent Schmulbach.
They seem to have Scott on the run.

has announced himself as a candidate
for the State Senate, and fight is on

out of the congressional nomination
and then salved over with the nomi-
nation for Attorney General, has
thrown bombshell in the camp Of his

Congress. This means complicated
contest.
In the first district Emmett Sho-
walter, of Fairmont, is after the scalp
of Congressman Dovener. At the
county convention in Fairmont last
Saturday there was regular riot, and
two sets of delegates were chosen to
the congressional convention. A live.
ly fight is in prospect now.
There'll be hot times all around
this year.

President RoosEvELT's visit to
South Carolina last week was one of un-
alleged pleasure, with no disagreeable
incident of any sort to mar it, and he
reached home in Washington safe and
sound. He breathed patriotic air
while he was in the South, and he said
publicly he felt that he was the better
for it. We do not doubt it. The 10y
atty and the patriotism of the South
ern people is more than sentiment
it is a vital, tangible force untaint-
ed with the spirit of commercialism
and unsullied by sel6shness. The
Southerners were as pleased with the
President as he was with them and
there is good feeling all around.
