Men can get along without women,
but women, it seems, cannot get along
without men. The Martha Washing
ton hotel, in New York run for women
only,by women, had to summon the
friendly and efficient male. The bell
girls sassed the customers, and had to
be replaced with boys. The head
waitress couldn't control her staff, so
a man took her place. Now the hotel
is run by men only for women. The
same thing is true of papers. All
those for women only are run by men.

Consumption

Salt pork is a 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 man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
SCOTS sEmulSioniSthemod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive StomaehS.
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.

CAUSES CONSIDERABLE GOSSIP.
Speech Of Mr.. looms at New York on
the lsthmian Situation.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE speech
Of Assistant Secretary of State Loomis
at the banquet of the Quill club in New
York, in which he laid bare some perti-
nent facts regarding the attitude of
Colombia towards the Hay-Herran
treaty, was the subject OF considerable
gossip here during the day and there
was much speculation as TO the effect
1t would have on the future course Of
General Reyes, the special envoy of
Colombia now in Washington. When
seen General Reyes admitted that he
had read Mr.. Loomis address. but de-
clined to make a statement
Il am a diplomat" said he, and it
would i'll become me, TO make any
comment"
General Reyes is still engaged in the
preparation of the statement he will
submit to the state department and
while refusing to disclose the nature
of it, said that much of it will be de-
voted to an argument setting out the
reasons why the United States should
see to 1t that Panama shall assume
her share of the Colombian debt. Gen
eral Reyes is uncertain when he will
file the document with the department,
but he thought 1t would be within the
next few days.
