When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why.
 When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul- sion.
 It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it.
 Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs.
 Children take to 1t naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be- cause it is SO perfectly adapted to their wants.
 For all weak and pale and thin children ScOtt's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat mSnt.

There is now bill pending before the Legislature which will prevent the organization of wildcat corporations of the electric and railroad kind. Under the old general railroad law a small party of persons can get together and organize for the alleged purpose of constructing an electric or steam road, but as rule their real purpose is to club some existing interest into buy ing them off. The new law says that no railroad or railway shall be hereaf- ter located, constructed or operated by any corporation which shall not have received it's franchise in special charter granted by the Genera! As sembly. The main object of the amendment is to prevent promoters from outside the state rushing in and getting hold of franchises for the sole purpose of making speculative foot balls out of them. Under the prOpos- ed new law the Legislature will have the say about the charter and will be able to enquire into the proposed route, the amount of stocks and bonds to be issued and the special privileges desired. These facts can all be made public and those whose property is to suffer cln know about it. It is d wise measure and ought to pass.
