Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionisthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phiteS In SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

Love by Mathematics.
From the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Joufhai
How uninteresting a plodding statistician
may make the most interesting subject!
One Prof Bell, instructor in a New Eng
land university has compiled a table which
shows the age at which men and women
ought to fall In love with each other. We
suppose his figures are corrective have
not examined them closely enough to pass
any opinion-but doesn't the idea Of reduc-
ing such things to figures knock all the
sentiment out of them? We are told to
multiply and replenish the earth-yet who
is there that would really enjoy making
love by the book of arithmetic? Not we.
There are some things that should not be
reduced to mathematical nicely. And who,
by the way, except a New England profess
sor, would think of approaching this bust
ness automatically? The Mad Halter, in
Alice in Wonderland explained that his
figures were the outcome of his emotions;
but who else but New England professor
would be content to have his emotions con-
troIed by his figures? Who else could
coolly call a halt to his affections until he
had asked the lady her age, consulted his
tabulated statistics and ascertained that
the square of her age, multiplied by X, and
added to the cube root of his age, gave such
a result that further division after matri-
mony was impossible? We couldn't do
that. We would not have the nerve to
measure lady to see If she fitted into the
hypothenuse of our left-handed triangle be-
fore we asked her to be ours.

NO LONGER PROFITABLE.
Lobster Pots Fail to Produce Revenue
to Fishermen.

'In many places along the New England
shore the lobster pots no longer yield a
paying return said w. B. Thornton Of
Portland, Me-, at the Raleigh today.
Twenty five years ago fisherman off the
Maine coast could take 800 Holsters in a
day; now seventy-fve is reckoned good
catch In the decade between 1889 and 1899
the catch decreased over Il, 600 pounds,
or 80 per cent, despite prolongation of the
fishing season, an increase in the number
engaged in the business and the employ
ment of more apparatus. In the same de-
cade the value of the catch increased more
than $500, GOO or so per cent. Just here is
the situation: Increasing demand and
dwindling supply, despite the efforts of the
United States fish commission to maintain
the breed by artificial propagation
THE lobster is confined to comparative
" small strip Of the Atlantic ocean, from
Labrador on the north to Delaware On the
south. Efforts to plant this queer she'll
fish in the Pacific do not appear to have
met with marked success. So far as the
United States is concerned, Holsters are
more plentiful off the Maine coast. The
fishing is of much Importance in Nova
Scotia. where it is the center of the can
ming industry.

ATLANTIC CITY, December 25 1903.
This has been the merrest as well as the
most prosperous Christmas in the history
of this resort. 1t has been the rule in At
lantic City hotels. as in those of all other
pleasure resorts, to look for compare lively
deserted tables and rooms on this particu-
lar day of the holidays, but this year has
proven an exception to a greater degree
than ever before. All Of the beach front
hotels served elaborate dinners to their
entertainments both today and yesterday
The colored walters at the Hotel Wiltshire
gave a clever minstrel performance for the
guests and were rewarded with handsome
purses. The Rudolf and several other
houses gave concerts and hops, and a good
social time was the rule at all the hotels
The weather has been ideal throughout
the week, and the boardwalk has been
filled with a fashionable throng every aft
ernoon and morning. New Years day has
been regarded as the opening of the winter
season and the reservations at the hotels
indicate that the opening this year will ex-
coed in numbers that of any previous sea-
son. In fact the entire cold season thus
far has surpassed in point of patronag e
that of any previous year Many addi-
tional amusements will be opened after
New Years. The Steel Pier MANAGEMENT

Charles r. Myers of the Hotel Rudolf
and William H. Carroll of Philadelphia
have purchased large tract of land in the
fashionable Chelsea district, and will con-
vert it into a park, layed out in drives and
shaded walks and bordered with cottages.
The park extends to the big thoroughfare,
along which will be a row Of boat houses
for the use of the cottagers. The real es-
tate men of the city organized this week
and have announced their intention of talk
ing a part in the control of public affairs.
Their influence will be eXerted especially in
the Identification of the resort. They Will
advocate the taking down of all for rent
and for sale'' signs. and will urge the
planting of trees. and shrubbery around cot
tages and vacant lots.
The Horse Show Association held its an
nual meeting at Haddon Hall the other
evening and surprised the subscribers to
the stock by declaring a liberal dividend.
G. Jason Waters, proprietor of the Wind
sor surprised several members of the fire
department on Wednesday night by pre-
sentfng them with handsome gold watches
for help conferred during the great storm.
