To Be Depended On
Because 1t Is the Experience
of a Honolulu Citizen and
Can Readily be In
vestigated.

A stranger lost in a large city would
place far more dependence on the Oh
rections given him by local resident
than the guidance Of another stranger
like himself. This is a natural conse-
quence of experience; it's like ship
in a strange port-a trusty pilot fami-
liar with the harbor is always called
upon to bring her safely to her moor
ings. So it is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings Of people living at
distant point because we can't investi-
gate. but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon, for tits
an easy matter to prove it. Evidence
like the following is beyond dispute
Mr. w. F. Williams of this city, is
lighthouse keeper, and he has held this
position for the last 80 years. He says:

I make this short narration Of my ex-

perhaps do not know that nearly all

NURSING MOTHERS

"A richer milk than milk
is good food for nursing
mothers. SCOTS Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro-
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. If
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it a success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
SCOTS Emulsion. The same
remedy brings new strength
and nourishment to both.

bones seemed to be covered with
parchment, instead of skin. The
body was rigid and only the pulse
beats showed that she was alive.

body in milk every day, and pour

into the sleeper's mouth through
