The Irish Land Bill.

The Irish secretary, Mr.. Wyndham. in
troduced the governments long antici-
pated Irish land bill in the House of
Commons Wednesday and It passed its
first reading as soon as he was through
speaking. The bill proposes a free grant
of $50, 900 for the purposes of the bill
The measure further provides that ten
ants will pay 34 per cent. interest on
loans from the government, that I'M
tenanted farms and grazing lands will
be sold to neghboring tenants and that
three commissioners will supervise the
sales. The advance to tenants, through
the provisions of the land bill, are limit
ed to $500 in the congested districts and

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing 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
it 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.
