Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

The Roosevelt administration
won somewhat barren victory at
Washington recently in the final
ratification of the Cuban reciproc-
ity Treaty. AS the treaty has
been amended, it will have to be
returned to the Cuban Senate for
acceptance of the amendments,
and should that body also make
further additions or changes in
the instrument, it would have to
again go before the Senate. In
any event, another amendment
provides that the treaty cannot
take effect until Congress has
passed the necessary legislation
amending the tariff law.

The owners claimed that IL the measure
passed IL would put them on an unequal
footing with competitors in other states,
and threatened to withdraw from the wage

similar bills were to be introduced in the
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois legisla-
lures, and after laws had been obtained
in those states the miners would move
on the legislatures in the twenty other
mining states.
The miners claim that this movement is
for the purpose Of bringing about better

RAMBo WANTS "LlTTLE" GIRL
she is Eleven Years Old and weighs
o. Less Than six andre
Pounds.

The very many warm and trusting
friends Of /. w. Miner, in Omaha and
elsewhere, will find 1t exceedingly difi-
cult to countenance the charge Of Joseph
Rambo OF Council Bluffs that Mr.. Miner
has kidnapped Mr.. Rsmbo's daughter.
In the first place IKE" is a prominent
Elk, a well-known and respected citizen
and entirely too old to attempt such capers.
In the second place, Mr.. RambO's daugh-
ter happens to be "the Missouri fat girl"
aged II, weight 531, who was featured on
the Ak-sar-Ben midway last fall. and the
process OF kidnapping would be almost as
dif1cult as the process Of conjecturing
what the deuce any man would want to
try It for. In conclusion, 1t might be re-
marked further that the spectacle of the
kind-hearted and none-too-stalwart Mr..
Miner, gallavanting over distant states
with a girl whose Identification would be
as easy as the identification OF the Nor
mon tabernacle, and whose charms can
scarcely be either material or evanescent,
is a picture quite beyond the conception
OF the most imaginative.
Mr.. Rambo. who is a very small man,
called upon Chief Donahoe yesterday after
noon, and said he had another Pat Grove
case" adding that Mr.. Miner had kid
mapped his daughter.
The chief queried the man, and learned
that Mr. Miner and W. F. Gerke had en-
tered into a contract with him last Sep
TENDER, by the terms of which the girl was
to tour for exhibition purposes, the father
to receive a rental of S. per day. Gerke
states that he has since gone before a
notary and withdrawn from the contract.
The last time the father heard from the
girl and Mr.. Miner, he told the chief, was
about three weeks ago, when they were
showing in a tent at an Alabama resort.
Because he has not received any remit
lance since, nor heard further from them
he concludes the Snowman has kidnapped
the show.
Chief Donahoe told Mr.. Rambo that as
he is resident in Council Bluffs and the
| contract was made there, the case should
be handled on that side Of the river, but
| advised him to write the chief Of police at
the town last heard from and get the ex-
hibit located IL possible; then take letters
OF Identification and go collect his daugh-
ter and bring her home.
