Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con
elmption. Eat plenty of
pork, ~ was the advice to the
ccasumptivc 50 and 1oc
ears ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionisthemo
ern method of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachS.
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.

RAILWAY FATALITIES.


A dispatch from Grand Rapids, Mich.
states that the death list, resulting
from the head-on collision be tween
two Pere Marquette passenger trains
near East Paris. on Saturday evening
stands at tvs2ty-two. with Twenty-Five
-.--~"s Injured, several Of them pro
baby fatally. The SD ,-ttagHjshed
to the high wind which ca -
the red signal light, causing the tram
70 flash by the station and crash into
the east bound train. This is the story
told by the operator at McCord's sta
ton, and it is probably true. -
The constant recurrence of these
accidents is not likely to begt conf
dence in the management Of railroad
systems. II every time storm occurs
. light is liable to be blown out and
two trains crash into each other, win
ter travel in the East will hardly be
contemplated with pleasure. So many
innovations have been introduced du--
ing the past few years with the view
Of minimizing these fatalities. that It
seems singular they should continue
with no little appreciable decrease.
Several causes contribute to the re-
currence Of these disasters. Trains
rMely run on schedule time. Except
On the New York Central road, where
four tracks leave the way clear Tor
each train. it is the exception for the
train to reach it's destination on time
This irregularity confuses the operat
ors. and conductors frequently misun
derstand the multiplying orders a,
they receive them at the various sta
tons on the route. Thus accidents AZ
almost certain to follow, and unde
the circumstances neither the opel
ator nor conductor can reasonably b.
blamed. If fewer trains were operate
even at the expense Of public convt
nience. and prompt time was made o
all runs, life and property would
less liable to injury.
In the case of the accident on tn
