S()FE ] COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

SINGING AS A MEANS TO
BEAUTY

DR.. Grace Peckham Murray is divulg-
ing a great many interesting secrets in
her monthly papers in The DeIiReGtOr
under the heading of "The Fountain
of Youth" In the June number the
subject under discussion is 'The Neck
and Arms"-points of such anxiety to
the girl who wishes to look her best in
evening dress. DR.. Murray passes un-
der review the questions of redundant
and deficient flesh, of undeveloped
chest, of superf1uOus hairs and rough
skin, and recommends such natural and
healthy remedies as massage bathing,
gymnastic exercises and voice cultiva-
tiOn. Regarding the last named as d
means to beauty she says: ''The po-
tency of voice culture may be observed
in those who make singing a profes-
sion They have beautiful necks and
throats without unsightly hollows. 1t
is because they have to supply an
ample quantity of fresh air in order to
vocalize, and as a result the whole sys-
tenn feels the benefit. Even if one can
not sing much, it is most beneficial to
take singing lessons"

SOUTHERN POLITICAL METHODS.

a consistent set, to say the least. For
the last half century they have done all
in heir power to destroy the republic,
to maintain slavery, to keep alive sec
tfOnal strife, and since the days of
John G. Fremont, have opposed with
all their might, by fraud and intimida-
ton the election of a republican pres
ident When the election is over how
ever, they come in for their share OF
the loaves and fishes, and scramble for
office just as though they had not done
everything in their power to defeat
those from whom they are seeking IA
vOrs. Of the thousand and one places
given to democrats in the South, Pres
ident Mckinley and President Roose-
velt have received little or no credit,
but when it comes to giving a colored
man a pIace-and the colored people
constitute the bone and sinew of the
Republican party in the South-a great
howl is made of Negro domination,
social equality and other such non
sense. The nomination of Dr. Crum
to a little $1,4OO place in Charleston,
s. c.. has drawn forth the anathemas
of the entire South on President
Roosevelt's head. Just a few days ago
the new place created in San Domingo,
which pays $4,000 a year was given to
a Secretary to represent the colored
people of the United States in the
black republic A new Consul at Port
au-Prince has just been appointed to
this same black republic, and he is a
white man. All of the officials sent to
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippine
Islands are white men, and yet we stin
hear the echoes from IndianOla, of DR..
CTum's appointment in Charleston
Out of all fairness the Southern white
man ought to shut up or at least try
to be consistent. Here is what the
News and Courier says:
When he was in Charleston, two
years ago, the President was received
with the utmost cordiaIity, and the peo-
pie here believed in him. The white
people of the South on his several
visits to this part of the country have
treated him with marked considera-
ton The very same people have pro-
tested against his course in the Crum
case, but without making the least i'm
preston upon him. He insists upon
doing a wrong thing, and an unneces-
sary thing, and he will crack the lash
over the backs of the Republican Sen
ators until they do his will. There is
absolutely no benefit to be gained for
the Government or for the Negro by
Crum's appointment. He would en-
phasize only the brutality of the ad-
ministration in dealing with an issue
which the administration has made for
itself The Negro in the South will
not profit by Crum's appointment and
confirmation certainly, and even at the
worst the white people of this part
of the country will be able to stand
four years more of irresponsible rule
at Washington"

A RECENT ARRIVAL
FROM RAPID RIVER
GIVES THE SIGNAL SOME INTERESTING
NEWS FROM THE RANKIN MINES.

Arthur Baston and wife arrived in
the city last Friday evening from
Rand, in the Rapid river district,
where Mr.. Baston has been employ
ed with the Rankin Mining Co. Mr..
and Mrs. Baston came out by way of
Pollock and Meadows and report 3
very unpleasant trip on account Of
the heavy snow. In conversation
with Signal reporter, Mr.. Baston
stated that the trouble between the
Potter brothers and the company
remains about the same. but it is
thought the matter would be satisfac-
torily settled as soon as Fl. d.
Rankin, who is In the east, could be
heard from. At the time of Mr..
Baston's departure nothing had been
received from Mr.. Rankin. On ac-
count of freezing, which seriously
affected the water supply, the com
pany has been unable to operate the
mill only on very limited scale.
Mr.. Baston states that at present
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1904-02-24

nothing is being done at the mines,
but force of twelve men is employ
ed at the mill, which it is expected
would operate continuously and the
forces increased very shortly.
Mr.. Baston is very enthusiastic
over the success Of the Rankin acid
process, and corroborates the state
ments of everyone who have arrived
from the camp. He also states that
as soon as matters are adjusted wisn
the Potters, which it is hoped will be
soon, the company will put on a
large force at the mine and increase
operations at the mill. AS soon as
the roads are opened up in the spring
it is the company's intention to install
a large amount of additional mach
inery in the mill.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baston left Oh the
train Saturday for Denver, and
later may go on to Chicago and other
points. They expect to return to
| the camp late in the spring.
