Feed pale girls on SCOTS

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer

The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.

Cod Liver Oil at it's best,

1t is the purpose Of Spokane labor
leaders to organize the city on an
equal footing with Butte. The Amer
lean Labor union is sparing no pains
to accomplish this end. Within the
past three months about Is new

fort is now being put forth to or
ganize occupations which hitherto
have received no consideration. The
organization of the janitors, chamber
maids and GLACIERS is now being dis
cussed. 1t is stated that the cham
bermaids and janitors in particular
deserve attention, as they work for
from IA to Is hour shifts at a salary
which barely enables them to pur-
chase the necessities of life. Butte
