BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean bad feeding. Call the disease rickets If you want to. The growing child must eat the right food for growth. Bones must have bone food, blood must have blood food and so on through the list.
 Scott's Emulsion is the right treatment for soft bones in children. Littledoses everyday give the stiffness and shape that healthy bones should have.
 Bow legs become straighter, loose joints grow stronger and firmness comes to the soft heads.
 Wrong food caused the trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
 In thousands of cases Scott's Emulsion has proven to be the right food for soft bones m childhood.

AN ODE TO VARIOUS FRIENDS. | WRITTEN FOR THE BEE. To my friends who each week this paper
 do see, Through kindness of editor, our friend
 of THE BEE, We find in the neighboring towns all
 around, Some name there, in items, often is found Familiar, and we look for something
 each week, That of friend or of relative, as letter doth speak, As 1 cannot well write to each cousin alone, l will as it were kill many birds with
 one stone: So to all as to one, write this letter you
 see, As you all are subscribers for this
 VIEWPOINT BEE. We will all wish it we'll, and it's pages
 peTuSo, Where we will find all the principal
 items of news, For ourselves we may say of our fam
 fly all well, The very best news that letter can
 tell. We hope that you all, who this writ
 ing may see, Are we'll and happy where e'er you
 may be. The Springtime again, with welcome
 we hail, Not very warm yet, but no hard
 frosts prevail; Good weather to work, and so much to
 be done, And the days getting longer by light of the sun. For the housewife housekeeping, for
 the farmer the blow, And for it all there is a time and a how. The landscape is lovely, the grass fresh and green, New life and new impulse about us is seen, Each one has an ideal, some object in life, In which to engage for living the strife, While thinking of friends so scattered around, In the North, in the South, and along by the Sound, Besides AnSOna, Huntington and Monroe, And to all of these places. this paper will go, tireside to bless, we will hope that it's shadow may nev- CT grow less. No home news in particular just now afloat, Except 'tis the launching of the worlds largest boat, The Vanderbilt wedding, the Presi dents route; Big railroad accidents, and the trolley about,
 
 papers do tell, Divorces and murders, the bad news as we'll. But we are here quiet, in our dear country home, Where we entertain cousins, when to see us they come: Our latch string is out with welcome and cheer, For our friends when they come, they will find us right here. We hope some inclined to answer this letter will be, And give pleasure to friend and we'll wisher, Helen T..
