MAPLE GROVE TO HATE WATER

The board of public works had a
meeting last Monday and transacted a
lot Of business in very short time.
The first matter up was the organiza-
ton OF the board and it was affected
by the election of JAS +. Corcoran
chairman and j. b. Schwartz pur-
chasing agent The question of the
extension of the water mains to Maple
Grove was then brought up and a plan
with specifications was adopted and
ordered presented to the council for
its approval
The matter of disposing of the old
waterworks plant was then taken up
and il was decided to move it TO the
falls and set it up beside the old plant
to be used for heating and relay pur-
poses. There is urgent necessity for q
heating plant at the new power house
in the winter time and the boilers Of
the old plant will los excellent for that
purposes. AT tho same time, should
anything happen to the new plant the
old one can be pressed into service.
So many times has the question 81

nasty old chestnut However the
chances are that All the must will bt

In an interview with a Mining

The matter Of feed is of
tremendous Importance to the

loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia3
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.
