"When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why.
 When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul- sion.
 It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it.
 Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs.
 Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be- cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants.
 For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment.

Good Roads Promoters
Cite Strong Precedent
If Federal Aid Is Given to Education. Why
Should Similar Plan for Highway Improve
ment Be Called Unconstitutional?

The advocates of Government aid in
building and improving the roads are
actively engaged in hunting up prece-
dents. The latest thing in this line Is
Government aid 10 education. They call
attention to the fact that. in our earlier
history. large gifts OF public lands were
made to the States to be used in sup
port OF the public schools.
In 1862 the Morrill, act was passed by
Congress, making large grants OF pub
lie lands TO all the States. the income
from which was to be used In the
maintenance OF agricultural colleges
In 1890 the second Morrill, law was
enacted, making a national appropria-
tion OF $1,000 to each State to be used
ir supporting these agricultural col
leges. This annual appropriation has
been increased from year TO year until
it IS now s. .O00 for each State This
direct appropriation. added TO the in
come which all the States derive from
the land grants of 1862. makes an ag-
grega-e o: nearly s2.CoO.OO0 a year which
the STATES now receive as national aid
to agricultural education
Involves Cooperation.
One interesting feature OF this Gov
eminent aid scheme is that it involves
cooperation between the nation ami
the States. somewhat similar 10 that
now proposed in the Brownlow- Latime!'
road bill. The Government appropria-
tions and the land-gran fuLds must be
used only tn maintaining the colleges.

Brought Together Years Ago Under Dramatic
Strong Ties Broken.

Though the great empires ruled over
by Gar Nicholas III of Russia and En-
peror MatsuhIto Of Japan have entered
upon a bitter war, these men were once
brought together under circumstances
that seemed likely to make them HE
long friends
When the present Gar Nicholas was
czarevitch. or crown prince. of Russia.
he toured Japan. and was wounded
there by the sword of an assassin. and,
while he lay suffering on a Russian
warship. he was visited by the great

Fears for Safety OF Prince.
Japan. at the time had just emerged
from revolution. Previous 70 the visit
Of the czarevitch the Gar had sent wo-d
to the Mikado that he feared for his
sons safety on account OF tile turbu-
lence that still prevailed here and there
The Mikado had answered with this
message:
THE czarevitch will be safe in Japan.
T. personally, viii be responsible for his
safety. His person shall be as sacred as
my own. l will answer for HIS welfare
with my honor"
Accordingly the czarevitch's tour was
allowed 20 proceed. Nicholas came 10
Japan, and almost ludicrous in their ex-
aggerated thoroughness were the means
that were employed there TO guard him.
His food was tested by tasters three
attendants watched his bedroom from

$500. 900 annually This added 10 the

joy makes a grand total of more than
s., zoo. 900 annually.
Why Not for Roads?
The good roads people are asking why
their plan for national aid to road i'm

constitutional and paternalistic. while
Government aid to education IS a Wen
established feature Of our national pol

the matter OF education. They also
claim that agricultural education is

precedent for Federal aid 10 road I'm
