((I HAD only been here two days,

You cannot imagine the feverIsh

that body the more OF an optimist L

the good old days of which 50 many
modern pessimists speak; and speak
thoughtlessly as well As imperiously

Ever since the organization of the
federal government the senate has
been composed OF great men, OF every

There were giants III those days But
that should not carry with it the i'm

C0nSu|llpti0

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. ssEat 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 sEmulsionis themod-
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 special
!. action on the diseased lungs.

Americas people who pin their faith
to the tickle promises of the weather
observer trlpped merrily forth yester-
day to greet the promised sunshine,
but got the ICY hand instead. There
was no sunshine; not ray to cheer
the half frozen natives. Instead, a
bleak northwest wind toyed all day
with the dust clouds, rendering the
situation doubly disagreeable. Yege-
tation is injured to a greater or less
