W /: I: DS

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
IS good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton IS when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
1t isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

SUPPLY SHIP CELTIC
DUE FROM GUAM

The U. S. supply ship Celtic will
probably arrive at this port from Gu
am sometime today. She left Guam
on the Path of July and is on her way
to San Francisco.
The Celtic has on board a complete
refrigerating outfit and has been at
Manila for the past three years run
ming between that port and Sydney,
Australia, and in connection with an
other supply ship the Glacier. these
two vessels kept the American fleet
at Manila supplied with fresh mutton
and Australia meats, butter. ice and
all perishable goods. Either the Gla-
cier or the Celtic would remain at Ma
Mia supplying the fleet while the 9TH
er steamer made the round trip to
Sydney. On one vessels return, the
other would Depart for Australia for
a fresh supply, so that the fleet was
kept supplied with ice house
goods and fresh meats.
The Celtic returns to San Francisco
after long service in the Orient and
will probably be given an overhauling
upon arrival there.
