BONE: FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean bad feeding. Call the disease rickets if you want to. The growing child must eat the right food for growth. Bones must have bone food, blood must have blood food and so on through the list.
 Scott's Emulsion = the right treatment for soft bones in children. Littledoses every day give the stiffness and shape that healthy bones should have.
 Bow legs become straighter, loose joints grow stronger and firmness comes to the soft heads.
 Wrong food caused the trouble. Rightfood will cure 1t.
 In thousands of cases Scott's Emulsion has proven to be the right food for soft bones in childhood.

BERGER WAS NEEDED


Queen Victorias first experience with
a telephone will long be remembered by
Sir William Preece, who has been con-
nected with the British post-office de-
partment for many years. He had a
telephone put into Osborne house and
connected with London so that the
queen might test it and see what a
wonderful instrument it was. He made
arrangements to have a band in Lon

the telephone so the queen could hear it
and then called up her majesty and
asked her to listen to the band. Things
missed connections with the band how

to save his own name and the new
telephone, so began to hum the tune.
When he had finished he asked the
queen if she had heard the band and
what it had played. She replied that
she heard a very bad attempt made to
reproduce the national anthem, and
then Sir William rang off-Springfield
