BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, 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.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littlcdoscs every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straightcr,
loose joints grow stronger and
frmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Right food will cure it.
In thousands of cases Scots
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.

/. ClLDHuUU AND lorTIl.


Ii we take a man Just past the
age of 81 years, having emerged
from the comparative obsrurily of
a CirCuit attorncyshIp INTO the cali
um light of state and national
prominence within the short space
of three years, with the greater part
of lis life yet before him, and at
this early age being the most prom.
inent candidate for the highest
executive Office in the State, we
have in such n man Joseph W.
Folk. the anti machine candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
the governorship Of Missouri in the
year 1904.

parentage remarkable through sev.
eral preceding generations for its
high standing III both moral aud

rents in comfortable circumstances,

expresses it, well.to do; if we
imagine this man as hoy, with all
the characteristics of a healthy
youngster with red blood in his
veins, doing what boys usually do,
even being n boy of such common
placeness as to be powder burned
in the course of political celcbra-
ton, then we have mental picture
of the future prosecutor Of corrup-
tiOnists. II we can then see this
boy grown into youth, attending
school at one of those southland
preparatory schools, where if one
does not acquire learning of his
own choice it is unceremoniously
thrust upon him; studying in earn

stratos the high impulses of his
mind and the intense morality of
his character
He was born in Brownsville, the
county seat of Haywood county,
Tennessee. on October %, 1869
His father, Judge Henry Bate
Folk, was native of North Caro-.
lima and was born in Bertie county
of that State in the year 1928.
When Judge Folk was but 3 years
old his father, Benjamin Folk, died
aud two years later his mother,
whose maiden name was Sallie
Bate. died. Soon after the death
of his parents, Judge Folk and
his older brother, Benjamin, i'm
migrated with relatives, in whose
care they had been placed, to Fay.
ette county in western Tennessee
4 small patrimony enabled the
two brothers to begin life without
the embarrassments incident to
poverty, and Henry Folk very
wisely concluded to employ his
share of the inheritance in acqulr-
ing an education. He accordingly
entered Wake Forest College. n.
c., where he graduated III 1850
The memory of a class mate and
close friend is very happily pre-.
served in the middle name of JOS
eph Wingate Folk.
After graduation at Wake For.
est College, Judge Folk returned
to Tennessee and during n number
of years taught school. In 1855
he was married to Miss Martha
Cornelia Estes, and removed to
Memphis, spending several years
there. After return to Browns
vile and Il few years spent in
teaching school in Haywood and
Lauderdale counties, Judge Folk
began the practice of law at
Brownsville in 1866, three years
before the birth of Joseph Folk.
Success ut the bar enabled Judge
Folk to enjoy II comfortable living,
but financial reverses came in 1878
as Il result of a scourge of yellow
fever, which caused n great depre-
citation in property values in

ties for the strong are numerous
II was uphill work at first hut
III the end friends were gained and
aiiilIatIou with that great political
organization, the jefferson club,
proved very beneficial TO him. His
natural fricndincss of character
and marked ability won for Mr..
Folk the election to the presidency
of the Jefferson Club, and the pO.
litical campaign of 1900 found him
aS a candidate on the Democratic
ticket for the election to the Office
Of Circuit Attorney of the City Of
st. Louis. The ticket was elected
and Mr.. Folk came into his first
public Office, not as IN accident, as
they say, but naturally, just as a
man always comes into an office.
His name was placed upon the
Democratic ticket by Democratic
leaders, who so confidently expect
ed Democratic victory that they
were willing to wager upon it.
This IN brief is Il rough sketch
of Joseph Folk prior to the begin.
ming of his prosecution of the mu-
nicipal corruptionists in st. Louis.
We will grant that there is appar.
antly nothing extraordinary about
it. Hundreds and thousands of
men have seemingly done as he did,
many of them have done things
which appeared infinitely more
creditable and more promising of
future distinction. But the test of
the man came when the first whs.
pers Of corruption reached his ears
in his official position. Then it
was that the intense moral nature
of the man asserted itself. Mr..
Folk acted, and of how directly aud
unhinchingly he acted the whole
country is aware. He entered up
on u campaign that most likely the
ordinary man would have never
undertaken, though it is said of
him, in the manner of an accusa.

of his superiority over the ordinary

natural that ordinary men should

MANS TOLERANT STOMACH.


The organs Of man are extremely
sensitive. and the smallest foreign body
Is often capable OF seriously disturb
ing their functions At the same time,
says Nature, we have cases In which
remarkable tolerance Is shown by
the stomach, such for instance, ~ the
child live years Of age who was pre-
srnted to he Academic de Medicine In
1897, after having had piece of money
removed from his esuphagus This ex-
ample OF tolerance Is however. cOnsid-
crahly exceeded by the following case.
which We presented to the academic at
a recent meeting:
The patient was young man. 22
wears uf age, pale. Of slight intelli-
LeuCe. and cpIlcptic. who had been
under tbs care Of Dr I.oroux, OF the
St Joseph hospital, for nervous and
intestinal trouble. At the end Of sew
cra days several foreign bodies were
observed In the left hypochondrium
and the patient was sent 10 our surgi-
cal ward whore the operation OF open
ing the stomach was performed What
was our surprise when we felt with
the finger through the incision great
number Of metallic substances With
the aid Of long pincers we drew forth
the foreign bodies. First we obtained
two coffee spoons, varying from Ave
to Ave and one-half inches in length.
The last spoons taken out were the
smallest. and were extensively cor
roded by the acids of the stomach. This,
however. was not the end. for, taking
longer pincer-the stomach being
very large-wc found the back Of an or
dinary fork with three prongs, the
handle of the same fork broken, an
other fork handle, the fourth prong OF
the fork above mentioned. pin six
inches long. piece OF metal seven
inches long with a pointed end. two
