Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty Of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
TODD the consumptive needs
most.
SCOTS Emulsionisthem
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.

STUDY GERMAN WAY
VIM. de la Barre Will Go Abroad to
Investigate European Methods
Of Making Briquettes.
May Find a Way to Secure Better
Results From North Dakota
Ignite.

Methods of manufacturing briquettes or
artificial coal from Ignite and other con-
stituents will be investigated in Germany
by William de Ia Barre, engineer of the
Minneapolis Waterpower company, and
director of the Pillsbury- Washburn Flour
Mills company, Mr.. de la Barre, ac-
companied by his wife and daughter, will
start next week for Vienna, Austria,
where he will visit his old home.
AT Vienna and at Budapest he will in
form himself as to the recent progress of
European flour milling methods. Then he
will go to Berlin and western Germany to
ascertain the conditions that have made
German briquettes SO successful a fuel.
Of the 46.000.000 tons of briquettes used
in the empire last year, the larger part.
says Mr.. de la Barre, were composed
chiefly of Ignite such as is produced from
the North Dakota mines controlled by
former Senator w. D. ashburn.
It is at the request Of Senator Washburn
that Mr.. de la Barre will conduct his in
vestigation of the briquette industry.
Should these inquiries prove favorable, it
is not unlikely that Senator Washburn will
at once proceed with his plans for placing
Dakota Ignite on the market in form
that will assure the northwest a cheaper
and better fuel than either anthracite or
bituminous coal.
