iOung Plants

Every farmer knows that
Dme plants grow better than
.ners. Soil may be the same
nd seed may seem the same
ut some plants are weak and
,thers' strong.
And that's the way with
,hildren. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
anne care but some grow big
md strong while others stay
mall and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
asy way out of the difficulty.
hid weakness often means
tarvation, not because of lack
f food, but because the food
loes not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
I'D gives the child growing

Whatever the cause of weak
hess and failure to grow

it and set the matter right.

MUST WAIT THE LIMIT.
Demands Immediate Payment of Vehezuela-
Bowen Refuses.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD.-Ihe
German government, through its rep
rcsentative here, Baron Spec Won
Sternberg, has made request OF Mr..
Bowen for the immediate payment OF
the $500 which it was stipulated in
the protocol signed on February IS
should be paid within 80 days from that
date as a preliminary to the raising OF
the blockade against Venezuelan ports
and the agreement to send the question
of preferential treatment OF the block
aiding nations to The Hague for deter
mination.
Mr.. Bowen promptly declined to &C
cede to the request, but informed Bar
on Sternberg that, as provided IN the
protocol, the money would be paid to
the German representative at Caracas
30 days from February IS, which would
be on March IS.
The reason that animated the German
government in making the request is
not disclosed here, nor is Mr.. Bowen
aware OF it. The matter, however, mas
some significance, perhaps, in view OF
the fact that the ships taken by the
Germans during the blockade have not
yet been returned to Venezuela.
During the day Mr.. Bowen had calls
from the French ambassador, M. Jusser-
and; the Spanish minister, Senior Ojeda,
and the Belgian minister, Baron Mon
oheur, in regard to the protocols that are
in preparation for the settlement OF the
claims of the citizens of their countries:
against Venezuela. Rough drafts OF
these instruments are already on their
way by mail to the European govern
ment's interested, but there are certain
provisions regarding them about which
the ENJOYS desired to consult Mr.. Bowen.
The protocols are expected to reach their
destinations the latter part Of this week,
pending which no final steps tor their
Joint signature can be taken.

SCOOPED In MILLIONS

Jack Sheehan Sold Three Winners for Ten
Cents on the Long Island Race Trains
The Originator of Scheme That Has Been
Worked by Sharpers on a Gigantic Scale
All Over the Country.

New York, D. C. (SpeciaD.-Con-
sentative racing men estimate that
$780, ooo, 900 has been garnered from
gullible public during the past two
years by the get-rich-quick turf tip
sters and Racing Commissioners"
who are now being raided by the po-
lice in all the big cities from New
York to Sam Francisco.
Jack Sheehan, a racetrack tout,
who six years ago started in by SELL
ing three winners for 10 cents on the
Long Island race trains, was the orig
inator Of the general scheme, which has
since developed and grown to such
great proportions.
The idea, born in his active brain,
developed into the great concerns
which took in millions, where he had
accepted dimes, and which sought out
their victims in every nook and cor
ner of all the States i'll the Union.
The uprising OF the public against
these so-called spectators and the
publicity given their peculiar meth.
DDS have in very brief time scattered
them to the winds. Those who have
not been forced out of existence by the
police have rushed to cover. 1t seems
likely that the turf speculator' and his
get-rich-quick circulars will be want
ing.
To such men as William c. Whitney.
August Belmont, James R. Keene and
J. G.. Follansbee, all lovers OF clean
racing, is due the credit of cleansing
the turf OF these people, for it was the
action of the Coney Island Jockey Club
in refusing the entry of Gold Heels in
the Suburban that first directed atten.
ton to the owners-the f. J. Arnold
Co., of St. Louis. With the downfall
of this concern the war against all
OF them began.

Yeuezuelans Ask Bowen to lntercede With

BY the "Prize Sufferers, Trinidad" re-
qucsting his good Offices with Great Brit
ain in securing the return of the prizes
taken by that country before the raising
of the blockade by the allied powers. The
cablegram is as follows:
Port of Spain, February Fl, 1908.
Minister Bowen, Washington:
All prizes returned by Germany and
Italy. Use kind influence with England.
Nearly all prizes belong to poor fisher
men, who have lost all and are penniless
here.

Minister Bowen sent copy OF the
cablegram to Sir Michael Herbert the
British ambassador, requesting him to
transmit it to his government, at his
earliest convenience.
