SOFTCORF

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full Of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest Of all fats. the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
inyalids and for ali whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Ia an able editorial on woman
suffrage in the Springfield, (Mass. J
Republican, was the following:
"The Republican has seen the
opposition to woman suffrage
change from hatred, insult and
calumny, from contempt and lamp
con, nurse fright and folly: and
there is nothing left to the oppon-
ents but such ridiculous assertions
as that the ground for suffrage is
the capacity for fighting; that
woman's sphere is the home: that
the cradle will suffer and the bread
be slack baked if women 60 to the
polls once or twice year, and fin
ally that women don't want to vote.
Feebleness can go no further than
the present condition of the ere
monstrants"-the women who in
their dread of publicity make them
selves public. and in fear of I'M
sexing themselves affix their names
to statements crammed with false
hoods as to the i'll effects of woman
suffrage where it has been on trial
and has won its way in the last 20
years, and has produced no ill
effects whatever, but on the other
hand, good effects as testified by
every man of Importance in those
states.
''What is the use In continually
spending ammunition on the men of
straw, which are set up by mascu-
line concert, feminine timidity and
political scheming9 1t is true that
the apathy of woman has something
to do with the slow advance, but
let it be noted that this apathy was
shown in every step taken for the
equal rights of women before the
law. in respect to the possession of
property; of woman's right to an
education; of her own person; of
mothers rights in her own child.
ren. These rights have been gained,
in this country and every where
else, just as suffrage is being gained,
by the sense of justice in men. And
in the long run, the fight for fran
ohise will be gained and we shall go
on to perfect our democracy by the
entrance thereto on equal terms of
the cleanest half of the race. II
will not all be well and wisely done
when women vote, any more than
now, but il will be every whit as
we'll and wisely done as now, and
in many particulars there will be
better results attained"

HANGMAN's PAY.


In the East hangman's trade is
very profitable. AS soon as per-
son is condemned to be hanged
notice is sent TO the executioner.
who has the privilege oterecting the
scaffold wherever he pleases, and at
sunrise the next morning he begins
his work. Accompanied by his
assistants, who guard the con-
demned man and carry material for
the scaffold, he goes to some pro-
minent place in front of a large
dwelling and there proceeds to erect
the scaffold.
A few minutes later the owner of
the large dwelling rushes out and
implores him to go somewhere else.
81 don't want TO have a man
hanged in front of my house," he
explains.
eau right" says the hangman,
"Im willing to go elsewhere provid-
ed you pay me for my trouble in
coming here and for the time which
l have spent at the job"
Though the sum which he names
is pretty large, the owner of the
large dwelling pays it without
word, whereupon the hangman goes
to another large dwelling, where a
similar scene is enacted.
In this way several hours are
spent by the executioner in extort-
ing money from all the magnates in
the neighborhood. When his purse
is at last well filled he erects the
scaftold in some dark wood, and
soon the unfortunate man, who has
been tramping after him all day, is
at rest.

A NARROW TIRE ROAD.

ally from four to six inches. Most
loads are carried on two wheeled carts
with single horse, the loads weighing
over two tons. With the new four
wheeled vehicles used in France the
tires are rarely less than six inches in
width and the rear axle about fourteen
inches longer than the fore axle, so
that the rear or hind wheels run about
one inch outside of the level rolled by
the front wheels.
In Germany the law prescribes that
all the wagons drawing heavy loads,
such as coal. brick, earth, stone etc.
must have tires at least four inches
wide. 1t Is worse than useless to Gre
ate expensive and valuable highways
to have them only cut to pieces by the
use of narrow tires as now used for
the hauling Of heavy loads in this coun-
try. When an expensive highway has
been created it must be taken care of,
and methods heretofore permitted
must be changed in order to help main
tain It, Wide tires are of the greatest
value in preserving ordinary dirt roads.
