proverbs

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told; why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
Il is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there IS something
astonishing about ii.
SCOTS Emulsion Is s;mnlv
a milk Of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
ston,aclas.
Children take to II naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally TO the children be-
cause 1t is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
IS the most satisfactory treat

When the good womin OF Ludlow street
died last week the debtors In the county
prison mourned Two score OF these are
victims OF their own mistakes or the ven
eeapce Of their ex-wives. The wardens
wife. Mrs. Sullivan. was woman with
big heart. Her acquaintance with the
prisoners consisted only OF seeing them at
exercise In the hollow square made by
old Ludlow's walls. Sometimes prisoners
fell Al and abe sent dishes from her kitchen
20 them. Now that there Is no woman In
the Jail they miss the sight Of her moving
about in her dining room, the windows OF
which look out on the court.
One-fourth Of the civil prisoners there
have found that there Ia one woman too
nsnv for comfort in their worlds. Tn
ART the FIVE alimony prisoners, locked up
because they have failed to pay the weekly
or monthly allowance which the court has
fixed for their divorced wives.
Each OF tho five Is subject to three months
imprisonment Then he may go free.
Il happens that the alimony due from eacl
OF the five is under $500. If it was more
than that sum he could be kept In custody
for six months.
The debts for which a man may be put
in prison f,r limited period now may be
classed as follows:
For alimony due. being adjudged In con-
tempt OF court for not having paid II.
For breach OF promise. debt OF honor
which has so often been paid by a wedding
In the court OF Ludlow Street Jail.
For q debt shown by execution where a
