Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation Of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full Of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at it's best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.

Tins In St. Petersburg.

Speaking Of high prices, Henry Nor
mans book on Russia throws some in
teresting light on what it incidentally
costs to visit St. Petersburg. To begin
with, he tells us every house and hotel
there contains a swarm Of servants,
and each one expects tip. The man
who takes your coat and hat at a pri-
vate house thinks 10 cents little enough,
and if you give a dollar or two to the
attendant who performs the same mod
est service at an official residence he is
only satisfied. The tips of a wealthy
Russian to q waiter at q good reStau-
rant are something enormous. A de-
cent room in first class hotel costs
about 81 q day, and closed carriage to
take you to dinner, ten minutes drive
away, costs So. A few sheets of note
paper in your hotel costs you a shilling
and the cheapest kind of bath 81. st.
Petersburg is far and away the most
expensive city in the world.

Bare Feet and Earth.

There is nothing like having both
feet on the ground, says Medical Talk.
If a man should go barefoot, the con-
tact of his bare feet with the earth
and his head projecting into the at
mosphere would make a perfect cleo
trical conductor, through which the
electricity Of the air would pass
through his body to the earth. While
no apparent harm is done, yet, being
insulated from the electricity of the
earth by wearing Shoes the electricity
fails of it's beneficial result There can
be no doubt that it would be better for
everybody, especially nervous people,
if their feet were on the ground instead
of in shoes

A WEAK HEART.
Hill Climbing or Stair Mounting
VIII Strengthen the Organ.
PHAR Nj

Wiz StEehE Tic OESAhs
1t is not many years ago that the be-
lief prevailed that Il sufferer from
heart disease was in constant peril
whenever he moved and that the nearer
he approached absolute rest the better
it was for his heart. This is still true
in respect to certain FERNS of heart dis
Case-thOse due to actual disease or de-
generation of the heart mUscles-but
when the disease is in the valves, as it
is in the majority of cases, the modern
teaching is that properly regulated ex-
ercise is beneficial. This is founded
upon the common sense view that the
heart is like other muscles in that it
can be strengthened by exercise to
meet increased calls upon it.
When the valves of Il pump get out
of order, it requires greater force to
move a given quantity of water If
this force can be applied, it will make
up for the defect in the valves. The
same principle holds good in the case
of the diseased heart; the valvular de-
feet must be made good-"compensa
ton" is the medical term for this proc
essay increased strength in the heart
muscle.
The heart must be able not only to
meet the ordinary, everyday extra
Strain-this it does automatically, as it
were, by the unaided efforts of nature
but it must be stronger than neces-
Sary, just as it is in health, to meet
some extra strain caused by illness,
sudden nervous shock or some absO-
lutely necessary eXertion. It is evident,
therefore, that a diseased heart must
to assure the safety of the patient be
strengthened beyond the requirements
of a quiet life.
This is accomplished in various ways,
but none is better for the purpose than
hill climbing OF stair climbing, the for
mer for pleasant days, the latter for
bad weather. The exercise should, of
course, be taken under the direction Of
Il physician, for it can easily be over
done, in which case one Of the bad con-
ditiOns against which it is the object
Of the exercise to provide will be arti-
ficially produced and the heart will be
OvertaXed before it is strong enough to
withstand the extra strain.-YOuth's

tONDON'S GREAT CLOCKS.

The immensely of Big Ben and the
Law Courts Timepiece.
How many of those who look up at
the figure of Nelson will believe that
the statue of '.our greatest sailor" is
three times as. tall as living man?
Nothing in the world is so deceptive as
distance, as q run round London with
footrule would show. Nobody, so
far as one knows, has ever yet been
found to believe that Big Ben is over
seven yards across the dial, that the
hands are together twenty-five feet
long, that the minute hand jumps
seven inches every time it moves, that
the five minute spaces measure nearly
two yards and that each of the dials
weighs four tons. You may spend a
day staring hard at st. PauFs before
you will believe that the ball over the
dome will hold twelve men and that
the cross above it is ten yards high,
ten yards above the dome and weighs
ton and half. Yet footrule and
the deans permission are all that you
need to be convinced that these things
are not what they seem.
Every one knows how impossible it is
to fix the distance of a ship at sea or
fire on a dark night, when the con-
trast of the light with the surrounding
darkness brings the vision near
though the fire may be miles away.

along the Strand today will believe

KALAMAZOO. Mich. Jan. s.-The
Kalamazoo Appendicitis Club is the
name of a new organization formed

against expense incurred In doctors

alton. All money is held in reserve
for the use Of members.
Such headway has the disease made
that many suffering from first symp-
toms have been unable to secure the
proper medical care because of the
rush for doctors. Many deaths have
resulted from this fact. The new
club will do much to relieve the stu.
alton.
Two years ago Kalamazoo expert
enced something of scare from the
same malady but physicians say the
present outbreak Is the greatest ev.

The dread Of the disease is so great
that many persons have undergone op

NO SYNDICATE GAMBLING.
Principal Pool Rooms Of City Dis
miss Employees and Suspend
Business.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Frank Far
rell, who for four years has operated
a system of pool rooms in this city,
to his employees that their services
will not be required for at least two
years. Farrell is credited with hav-
ing amassed the greater part of a
fortune of 100000 during the last
city administration. Recognizing
that many of those who have been at
work for him will be left stranded.
Farrell is said to have made to each
of them d presen amounting 20 one
weeks salary.
No attempt has been made to re-
open any of the pool rooms controll-
ed by men other than Farrell. al
though scores of handbooks have
come into existence and are being
run as they were during the Strong
administration.
Following the example of Farrell.
John Kelly, who has run pool room
and gambling house in Forty-f1rst
street, has made each. of his employ
es present of $780, Kelly has not
hCtCi LhihSu uPoh Sodi DC
but will keep his place open as club
room if possible. He was one of
the few who were permitted to do
business when Mayor Strong was at
the city hall.
The understanding now is that a
limited number of club rooms to
which the general public will not be
admitted will be allowed to contin-
ue without police interference
Syndicate gambling has ceased. An
attempt was made to organic a Re-
publican association to control the
gambling houses in this city during
the present administration. This was
frowned upon and the attempt has
been abandoned.
Gottfried Walbaum, who was ex-
pected to have given much influence
and who was credited with an effort
to establish pool rooms in the city,
has gone to Europe where he will re-
main until next summer. This is
understood to mean that pool rooms
will not be permitted as long as Seth
Low is mayor. Mr.. Walbaum was
one of the owners of the old Gutten-
berg race track. He is Republican
in politics. and 1t was his money that
made Low favorite In the betting
before the recent election. He is
credited with having won $150.000
for himself and his friends who put
money in his hands to bet.
| Instructions have been given to
the police to wage unceasing warfare
upon the handbooks. as they are re
garded as being even more vicious
than the pool rooms.
