letter from j. II. Mason, of Bellevue.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. EAT plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 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.
Scott SEmulsionisthemod
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
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hyPophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

With the wholesale invasion OF auto
vehicles, and the consequent rejection Of
tho slower means Of transit, the horses
are eating their heads off in their stalls.
while steam engines and other primitive
modes of locomotion rust away in idle
ness.
Everywhere one turns one sees the horse
and old time vehicles giving way to motor
cars. A municipality runs by auto power
street cleaners and sprinklers that pene-
trate the smallest and all trackless streets;
a trolley company owns repair wagons 50
compact as to obviate the usual conges-
ton caused by the original big, clumsy
wagons; and store deliveries, a big item
in the routine of everyday life, are made
consumed.
Then the need of the noisy trolley is
done away with in many city streets
much to the relief of the Inhabitants of
the fashionable quarterly the auto ON
nibus, which rolls swiftly and noiselessly
thru the streets and saves the time and
patience of every one.
Besides this, by means of this au-con-
quering power the difficulties of hauling
and making a way thru trackless wastes
and forests have been overcome by motor
vehicles where even the horses and wag
ons, going at snaips pace, could scarcely
make way, and the use Of steam engines
was an impossibility.
Even the warpath is invaded by the
horseless carriage, which leaves destruc-
ton in its wake while escaping from 1t.
This DEATH dealing carriage recently
made its appearance in London in the
shape of a round steel shell spiked on tor
with three formidable guns, as contriv-
ance for road and coast defense in time
Of either naval or land battle.
Its principal object is to act on the de-
! fensiye on the coast roads, or with GER
tain notifications for offensive work over
smooth or rough roads; for keeping open
lines of communication, hauling guns into
position. or for carrying and hauling
stores and men. AS it is imperyious te
bullets Of small caHber, it may also be
effectively employed to dampen street riots
or for searchlight operations.
The main object Nof the car however, is
that OF coast defense, and it could, II en-
ployed in sufficient numbers, make 1t i'm
possible for any landing party Of the
enemy to come ashore. for the war car
would soon be able to destroy or sink any
invading forces
