Proverbs
When the butter won't

When the butter won't
come put penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
prOverb. 1t 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.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomaChs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

NEW WRINKLE FOR
THE AUTOMOBILE

~ OBERT GRAVES. the millionaire
wall paper manufacturer, has &
big Panhard motor car that
staggers the most enthusiastic automo-
bilist and makes even the most learned
of the cult shake his head. Mr.. Graves
is a born mechanic and dearly loves 10
tinker over new fittings and attach
nerts to the machinery. many OF which
arc quite strange to even the habitaal
frequenters of the garage in which IL is
stored.
In addition 10 the regulation curved
brass horn on the steering wheel he has
two large straight ones underneath Tne
lamp in front, the mouths of these
horns being covered with thin yellow
netting On one side OF the car are two
fiat wheels which an expert declared
vaguely. were "some kind of speed
wheels" and under the polished metal
case IN which the clock rests. a small
yachts compass hangs in gimbals.
But the last attachment beats all CT
these To the rod to which the steering
wheel is attached and just below the
wheel is a small mechanical device that
looks TO the layman's eye like a ma
chine for registering the velocity of the
wind. 1t consists of a narrow brass rim
set on end. in which is wheel made
of blades like those in an electric fan.
This is attached to a small register Oh,
the dial of which are three hands ev.-
IDENTIFY for registering the numbers of
revolutions made, by the blades: and on
this register is tiny sand glass that
probably registers minute OF time.
When visitors drop into the garage
they look at this allotment blankly for
a moment and then smile and shake
their heads. 1t is too much for them

Sometimes in reading one of these

into the hole that only the end of the
tail protruded. This he would seize and
with a quick movement he would throw
the snake twenty or thirty feet away.
When the snake returned TO its hole

until the joker was weary.

CLOTHES FOR BIG MEN.
Everything from Hats to Shoes Has
to Be Made Specially for the
Extra Large Ones.

A giant wanting to refurnish his
wardrobe in Chicago would probably
have to have most of his outfit made
to order, although by judicious hunt
fng around he might find many things
ready made on sale--that is, if he were
not too much of giant, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
Most of the department and ready
made goods stores do not carry me1
shoes in a larger size than II. The big
gest hat is seven and three-quarters in
derby and soft styles, while in silk and
opera hats seven and one-half is the
largest. In socks IL is the largest size,
and in shirts II and IS. Fat men have
made it necessary for the stores to
carry a size of collar far in excess of
the size ordinarily worn, many of the
stores carry size No. 10 in collars. In
gloves nine and half is the biggest
carried in most stocks. People who
gaze at the feet of Chicago policemen
know well that No. - foot in the po-
lice" department would be considered
capable of wearing Cinderella's glass
slipper, and they wonder where the
hundreds of blue-coated guardians of
the peace get shod. One store makes
a speciality of shoeing the police de-
partment, and it carries shoes that run
in size up to IA. Almost all of the Chi
cago coppers can get fitted in this
store, but some few require even & big
ger shoe than A. and these must have
their shoes ordered for them from the
factory.
The policemen who have hands to
match their feet have favorite glove
dealer who carries gloves in sizes rang
ing up to -, and the giant might get a
glove that he could wear.
