Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS

We do not need to give all
the reasons why Scott's
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer

The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is suggestion as
to why it does what it does.

Dependency over poor health caus-
ed the young man to take his life
First he cut the arteries in both
wrists. closing the penknffe with
which he did the cutting and replacing
it in his pocket, but apparently fear
ing that death would come too slowly
by this process, he placed 32-calibre
revolver to his head and fired bullet
into his brain.
The body was removed to the Knox
undertaking. rooms, where a search
of the clothing disclosed the identity
of the deceased. His name was on
prescription in one of his pockets and
also on his underwear. His father
was notified and identified the re-
mains as those of his son.
Oscar had been missing from home
since Saturday morning. He told his
father that he did not believe he would
ever get well, and said that he might
as we'll die then as to linger along
suffering and burdening the other
members CT the family. His father
cheered him and told him that lie was
not Il burden. and that he would do all
he could for him. Oscar was to have
returned that morning to a sanitari-
um at Maquoketa. Iowa, where he
had been for month for treatment
but at the last moment abandoned
his plans.
Shows Brother the Recover.
Saturday evening Oscar met his
brother Charles on Second avenue and
showed him the revolver he had just
purchased for the purpose, he stated.
Of destroying himself. Charles plead
ed with his brother in an effort to
dissuade him from his course. but Os-
car was persistent and after short
conversation said goodbye and dis
appeared.
The supposition is he went directly
to the railroad yards and entered the
car and killed himself. Oscar had
been in i'll health for three. years. He
suffered from a nervous affection. He
returned last Monday from Maquoke-
tn, seemingly much imprexeri-z.and
more buoyant in spirit than he had
been for long time. But the change
was only temporary, and Friday he
was complaining again of his old
trouble.
The survivors are the father, the
brother, Charles. and sister. Miss
Necla. The funeral will be held to-
morrow morning from KnoN's under

Prosecuted for Food Admiration,

The vigorous crusade made by DR.
Warren, State Dairy and Food Com
missioner, against the Illegal traffic in
Oleomargarlne during his three months
service as Chief of the Dairy and Food
Division of the Department of Agri-
culture. has caused numerous dealers
to take out the proper State licenses
in order that they could handle the
uncolored oleomargarine without fear
of arrest and prosecution.
During the months of May and juno,
1902, the total receipts at the State
Treasury on account of oleo license
fees, was S438. 80, as compared with
S24l2.5O, for the same period in 1903
which clearly indicates renewed ac-
tivity i'll the direction stated.
During the past three months DR.
Warren ordered prosecution against
about 200 dealers scattered throughout
the various counties of the Common
wealth, for alleged violations of the
several acts of Assembly relating to
adulterated Dairy and Food products
"Oleomargarine, the Commissioner
stated ''has its rights under the laws
of Pennsylvania. 1t has a right TO be
composed Of lard, beef-fat, and cotton
seed oil, but it must not be colOred
arti!icially in order to make il resem-
BILE in appearance the pure delicious
product of the Jersey COW. The man
who sells it over tie counter at retail
or wholesale, or serves it on the table
at the hotel, restaurant or boarding
house, can do so legally and without
fear of prosecution, if he secures the
requisite license and fully complies
with the act regulating the manufact-
ure and sale of the substitute for but
ter in Pennsylvania. "

GIVEN A TRIAL
TUESDAY

X. p. LeDuc gave his new coal dig
ger a trial lTuesday Everything
about it was found to work admirably
and all that is needed now is to get
next to large deposit of river coal
when the machine will soon pay for
itself and yield profit to the owner.
The digger. which is the first craft
in the form of steamboat which has
navigated the Susquehanna at this
point in many years, created quite a
sensation as 1t came steaming down
the river and passed under the bridge
Tuesday afternoon. The engine,
boiler and digging machinery are in
stalled on fiat boat 60 feet long and
wide and deep in proportion 1t is
propelled by steam, the paddle wheels,
two in number being at the rear and
embracing the entire width of the fiat,
which gives the craft an appearance
resembling the stern wheeled steam
boats which ply on the Ohio river.
1t is equipped throughout with the
most modern machinery and embraces
several very ingenious inventions de-
vised expressly to facilitate extracting
coal from the river 1t is an exact
counterpart of the coal diggers en-
ployed on Shamoliin creek, which have
a capacity of so to go tons per day and
which during the miners strike last
summer contributed so largely toward
relieving the coal famine.
In bringing mp the coal from the
bottom of the river the suction meth
cd is employed by the digger. the
system of machinery containing re-
vOlving screen, into which the coal
falls and where the coarse and fine are
separated and stones and the like are
thrown out.
Near the second pier of river bridge
yesterday the digger was put to work.
There was very little coal on the river
bottom at that point but what existed
there was very readily pumped up.
while the revolving screen showed
how effectually it was capable of do
ing its work. The operations were
watched by large number of people
on the river bridge.

Eugene Mover Remembered,

Eugene Meyer, who has been unable
to walk since the terrible driving ac-
cident last winter, in which he sus-
tanned an injury to his spine, receiv-
cd a very fine token of esteem from
his friends yesterday in the form of an
outdoor self-propelling chair.
The chair was procured through
John Doster's Sons. 1t was purchased
with funds raised by popular subscrip-
tions. Eugene has many friends and
it required but little effort to realize
enough to pay for the chair. There
are many others who would have been
glad to contribute but it was not nee
essary to call upon them.
The chair was handed over to Mr..
Meyer about , O'Clock yesterday after
noon. 1t is one of the most elegant
and modern pieces of mechanism de-
signed for the use of inIalids known.
The chair is of oak, nicely canod and
presents II most comfortable and grace.
ful appearance. 1t is of the right shape
for the back and body and is fitted
with olliptical steel springs. 1t is pro-
pollod by crank movement, which can
be adjusted on the right or left
hand side of the the chair to suit eth
or right or lett handed people. 1t steers
very easily and runs without difficulty
over uneven surfaces or up ordinary
grades at speed equal to a fast walk
