The Widow In Luck.

Newport, Nov. IA few days
ago R. M. Anderson, postmaster
al Jacksonport, received letter
from an Eastern life insurance
company asking about the heirs
of W. A. Jago, who lived and
died at this place years ago. The
letter stated that he held a policy
in that company at the time of MS
death, and they wanted to pay it
off. Mr.. Anderson came down
here to see Mrs. Jago, who has
lived here for a number of years,
about the matter, and a search
was institute for the policy,
which was finally found. The
policy was issued in 1867, and
was thought to be worthless. Mrs,
Jago will not only draw the $4,000
bnt interest upon this amount
from the time of her husbands s
death, Or a total of over 81, 900.

Never thought of such a

Well, it's a good sign for
SCOTS Emulsion. The body
has to be repaired like othe5
things and SCOTS Emulsion is
the medicine that does it.
These poor bodies wear out
from worry, from over-work,
from disease. They get thin
and weak. Some Of the new
ones are not well made-and
all of the old ones are racked
from long usage.
SCOTS Emulsion fixes all
kinds. It does the work both
inside and out. It makes soft
bones hard, thin blood red,
weak lungs strong, hollow
places full. Only the best ma
terials are used in the patching
and the patches don't show
through the new glow of lealtl,
No one has to wait his turn
