In the opening games of the Three

to Decatur, Dubuque to Rockford,
and Joliet was shut out by Blooming

day was marked by much interest and
a large attendance.

up well and played good consistent
ball will cause general satisfaction
the fans, for it points to a
go / tight race during the season. At
Decatur and Rockford. the score was

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. Ex-senator Ralston has
bill in preparation which is
to do away with the Debris
Commission. He intends introduc-
ing it on Monday next and if it passes,
Debris Commissioner Waggoner will be
minus a job. The author of the pro-
posed bill is Of the opinion that the work
now being done by the Commissioner can
be accomplished by the Board of Exam
iners The cutting off of this commission
will save the State quite a respectable
sum annually.
At a previous session Of the Legisla-
ture $500 was appropriated to be added
to a like sum appropriated by the Gov
ernment to build restraining dams in the
Yuba River below Marysville. 1t was
found necessary to have disbursing Of
ficer to pay out the money in behalf Of
the State. The work is under the super
vision Of Government engineers. All
that the Commissioner did was to sign
warrants payable by the treasurer. John

and received $40 day. Subsequently the
Legislature passed an act making this
compensation for actual work. At the
last session the commissioners salary
was fixed at $50 per month.

SCOTS EMULSION.
THEIR DOUBLE PORTION

A grown person needs only
enough food to repair waste.
A child must not only be pro-
vided for in the same way,
but must in addition be fur
nished with material upon
which to grow. Nature thus
imposes a double task.
A weak child has therefore
a poor chance in life unless
at the very outset its nourish-
ment is given special and
constant attention. Wasting
conditions follow a lack Of
proper nourishment. And
with the wasting comes whatf
Improper growth surely. A
child needs something more
than food-more than good
food; it needs the full value
Of that food. Because of this
great need SCOTS Emulsion
is of special value to grow
ing children. 1t reinforces a
child's ordinary food; it fur
nishes the true elements OF
nourishment that the every
day food either lacks alto
gether or fails to properly
supply.
Children like SCOTS Emul-
sion; they take it readily.
The change for the better
begins almost at once; it takes
a child in long strides in the
direction Of easy, healthy,
natural growth. Scott's Emul-
sion lightens child's burden
when growing.
