cradle magnitude during the night. About
six inches of snow fell and although it
was badly driftcd by the gale of wind
which prevailed, the streets of the city
afforded excellent sleghing yesterday. ON
the country roads conditions were differ

places, and wagons ran about as easily
as did sleighs. Travel into the city for
this reason was comparatively light The

NJ RISING MOTHERS

" A richer milk than milk"
is good food for nursing
mothers. Scots Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro-
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. If
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
