A representative citizen, loving hus-
band, kind brother and an obedient
son il lost in the death of Bruce How
ard Davis, which occurred ut his home

husband, loving brother and model
son. He was a representative citizen
of the community, liked and respected
by his fellow men. He was industrious
and attentive to business. During the
latter part of his illness, knowing that
he would soon be called to join the num-
berless throng that has passed over the
dark river of death, he bore up with
great fortitudc, and when death came
he was submissive and prepared to die.
His death will be mourned by many
of the business men of the city with wrom
he had associated, as well as a large
number of people whom he numbered
among his friends.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food. same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
( SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
md gives the child growing
strength.

ness and failure 20 grow

SHERMAN AND HOWARD.

II is related that General sherman de-
lighted to twit Gen, O. o Howard upon
his abstinence from spirituous liquors and
the fact that nothing more invigorating
than cold water was to be found in How
ards quarters on one occasion when
General sherman was visiting General
Howard with his chief medical officer
Sherman wnked at the man of medicine
and said
Doctor, have you a seidlitz powder in
your quarters? | don't feel Just right and
am sure one would do me good.
The medical officer was equal to the oc-
Casion and said that he did have such an
article and invited sherman to his quart
ers to get IT. General Howard interviewed
however, with the remark that he had
plenty of seidlitz powders, one of which
he would be glad TO give Seneral Sher-
man The generals desire for medicine
lost some of its keenness. and he told
Howard, he wouldn't think of putting him
to the trouble of fixing up the dose

ing Howard, and he straightway produc-

to the medical officer for relief, but that
worthy gravely remarked:

HEALTH AND LONGER LIFE.
The Failing birth Rate Is onset by the
Gain in Health ana Longevity.

While statistics OF this country and of
most OF the countries of Europe report a
falling off in the birth rate, there is a
marked Improvement in the health rate
ana III longevity Beyond question in
spite of much that seems to initiate
against progress in this direction, other
factors are at work which more than bal
ance certain baneful influences of the
times.
Athletics deserves no small credit for
the new life in the community. Athletes
may be shortlved, but their influence in
the country has been to raise the stand
ard of health and strength and to pro-
mote the temperance and self-control
which tend to longer life Much is due to
medical discoveries and to better knowl-
edge of sanitary conditions. Although the
germ theory of disease has been acted
upon scarcely more than 20 years, the
results are beyond calculation, both in
saving life and warding off sickness.
Perhaps the best showing in the direc-
ton OF health is the great decrease in in
FAINT mortality. 1t has been the disgrace
of civilization that the number of deaths
of children under five years of age was
out of all proportion to the progress OF
the race Last year this proportion was
greatly reduced in Chicago, Sew York
and London, not to mention citi OF less
or size, and it is one of the most hopeful
signs of the times.
Aside from any human and inhuman
sentiments. the enormous waste to a
country where years are spent in rearing
and caring for children only to have them
die before making the slightest economic
return Is inCalculable.
Anything then, which tends to increase
he nth and longevity is Of vastly more i'm
portance than large birth rate merely.
The latter alone may mean the poverty
and weakness of a country. The former
