VI !: EDS

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
,y2uId weak land and the
@.ccds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
;cctt's Emulsion. Salt pork
!, 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.

Reply That Admits of No Mis-

(By the Associated Press)

Washington, July 16.-It was learned TO-
night that the State Department has re-
ceiyed a reply from Russia stating that
it neither would receive nor consider the
matter of the Jewish petition on the sub
jeet of the Kishineff incident.
This information came in the form of q
cablegram from Mr.. Riddle, the American
Charge at st. Petersburg, to whom was
committed the delicate task of inquiring
of the Russian government as to its atti-
tude with respect to the presentation of
the petition
1t is believed that this will end the
matter, and that no further steps will be
taken by this government to bring the
views of the petitioners to the attention
of Russia, although as yet no consideration
has been given by the President to the
course to be pursued in the light of Rus
sia's response to our inquiry.
