Railroad Commissioners Can't Regu-

Some time ago. the towns along. the
branch of the Burlington that runs from
Republican City down through Norton to
Oberlin, Kan, petitioned the state board
railroad to give them better train service
The road had taken of its passenger trains
and ran only mixed trains
When the railroad commissioners started
in on the case they ran up against the fact
that the road starts in Nebraska, and they
have jurisdiction over only that portion
which lies in Kansas. They were not even
sure on the latter point and they referred

Coleman has Just decided that they have
jurisdiction over the case SO far as it ap

the railroad to run trains over in Nebras-

start their trains at Oberlin and run them
to the Nebraska line, but no further, I'M

Dominion government surveyor and
one Of the first to penetrate the Klon-

metals were discovered, has been in
Winnipeg for several days and has just
left for the north to engage men for
this purpose. Bernier's plan is to reach
a point as far north as he can in a ship
much after plans of his own design to
withstand the ice pressure. When he
has gone as far as the ship can be
made to navigate dogs and sleighs will

The dogs will be chiefly purchased
from Labrador points, but the drivers
are to come from the Canadian west
Good drivers are the most import

That's the proper proportion of ami
mai and mineral matter in the bones of
a healthy thirty-seyen per cent.
animal and sixty-three per cent min
eral. The bones of the average rickety
child show about seventy nine per cent.
animal and twenty-one per cent. min
eral matter.
It's this lack of sufficient mineral
matter in the bones that makes child
have ricketts,. Determines of the chest
and head bent legs and curved spine
are some Of the results of ricketts,.
The disease is one of early life, and
the first symptoms are shown in the
digestive organs. Usually the appetite
is poor and the child grows duh and
fretful There are pains in the limbs
= and joints. The pulse beats quicker and
the veins become slightly swollen; grad
ually the whole body becomes tender
and the face shows signs of waste, de-
preston and WEAKNESS. Then the &C
ton OF the disease begins in the bones.
The legs are hrst to show the effects
when they fail to support the child pro-
perry As a mater OF fact. the bones
cease to grow at this stage Proper
nourishment for the whole body, and
particularly for the bones, is the best
possible treatment in fact. it is the
only treatment.
SCOTS Emulsion is therefore the nat
uraI remedy for ricketts,, as pure cod iv-
err oil Is the most effective of all rene
dies for this disease. The hypophOs-
phites of lime and soda contained in
Scott's emulsion feed the bones and fur
nish them with the means to grow pro-
perly- 1t also helps the digestion and
provides nourishment that cannot be
secured so well in any other way. 1t
quickly enables the rickety child to
make up lost ground, and insures a
healthy. natural growth. Being as
palatable as cream and more nutritious,
SCOTS Emulsion is easily accepted by
the most delicate stomach.
These claims are not made off-hand
We know from nearly thirty years con
tact with such cases that Scott's Emul-
sion will do lust what we say it will
do We will be glad to send you a sam
pie free so that you can judge for your
