GRIP CONVALESCENCk,

There's nothing better than
SCOTS Emulsion after the
grip. When the fever is gone
the body is left weak and ex-
hausted; the nervous system
is completely run down and
vitality is low.
Two things to do: give
strength to the whole body
and new force to the nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion will do it;
contains just what the worm
out system needs.
Rich blood, healthy flesh,
resistive force, more and better
nourishment are what SCOTS
Emulsion supplies to the
ConvalesCent.
SCOTS Emulsion is the
original and has been the
standard emulsion of cod liver
oil for nearly thirty years.
Why buy the new, untried,
cheap emissions or so called
wines, cordials and extracts
of cod liver oil, when you can
buy what is sure to help you?

The Peoples Construction company
is to make another strenuous effort
to secure the money alleged to he due
for work on the lines of the new tele-
phone company, and the first steps
were taken to that effect Saturday.
Some time ago the Construction com
pany filed a suit i'll the district court
asking for mechanics lien on the
property to cover the balance of the
amount which it is claimed is due for
work done on the conduits and over
head lines. Now the company comes
forward and asks that the lien be es-
tablished and the company taken
charge of by the proper persons and
the conduits and lines be sold so that
the Construction company can have
the money alleged to be due.

High school seniors and juniors min
gled Friday evening for the first time
at a farewell banquet. 1t was a sump-
tuOus affair with Il course dinner,
toasts. responses. and songs. and the
good fellowship so heartily displayed
showed that the relations between the.
upper classmen were strong and true
and that there WAS some regret At
parting. The petty feuds that charac-
tArized the school lives of the two
classes were put aside and forgotten
forever. There was none of the usur
al scutfle TO place "old gold and
white" in predominence over royal
purple" but to the contrary senior
and junior shook hands, chatted over
the incidents of three years relation

the farewell.
