Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat 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.
SCOTS EmulsioniS 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 abort the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

The Forces Which Start These Dam
ger0us Volumes of Water.

Thc Forces which start These Dam
gerous Volumes of Water.
The ocean tidal wave sometimes
called the primitive-is formed by the
union of two waves, produced by the
combined attractions Of the sun and
the moon. This wave in it's most dam
gerous form sometimes sweeps over
ships in the open sea and in it's ordi-
nary course produces the tides proper.
Where the outline of the land, as in
the bay of Fundy and the Bristol chan
nel congresses the force of it's flood
with narrow estuarieS it also gives rise
to tidal waves, which are termed de-
rivative and are also known cOlloQuial-
ly as "bOreS,' or eagres.
Earthquakes are also a cause of tidal
waves of two sorts. One is due to
shocks which occur on land and cause
a retreat and refux of the sea within
the usual tidal limits, but where an
earthquake shakes the sea bed a dome
shaped mount of water rises over the
center of the disturbance and draws
the surrounding water into the vortex
beneath it. AS this dome subsidies it
sends an immense rolling mass swing
ing across the ocean, which creates a
most formidable tidal wave

Fishing for Suckers.

Why be satisfied with 3 to 4 per
cent from a saving bank when we
offer you dividend on your money
of 2 to 3 per cent week?
You may have seen the above all
vertisement. The wording was used
by one OF those Get Rich-Quick con-
Germs located in New York City and
recently closed by the authorities.
Did the suckers bite on this
proposition? Did they? The firm
took in more than a million dollars
lnside of two months.
1t is stated that the people of one
Ohio town contributed about $40, 900.
Of course few weekly dividends"
wece paid. The people who received
these dividends confded the fact to
their friends. Aud the suckers grew
keener for the hook.
Should one pity the victims?
Not bit of it.
They have learned a lesson worth
all it has cost them. They will not
raise to the bait again. But there
are others. "a fool, " it is said, is
born every minute and then some.
Every one knows--or ought to
know-that no concern can honestly
pay 2 to 3 per cent weekly dividends;
every inancier will tell you that
when an investment offers more
than 4 to per cent annually the
factor of speculation is more or less
present. 1t ought to be patent that
when extravagant offers are made
for the use of money a swindle is
contemplated.
However, the repeated warnings
of the newspapers have little effect

R. C. Dunn is Named.

St. Paul, July 2.-Robert q.
Dunn won the Minnesota Repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination.
The state ticket was completed,
a plat form adopted, and adjourn
ment taken, with the leaders in
a harmonious mood, thus emov-
ing all probability of bolt.
This resultwas Largely due to
the tact and impartiality of Unit
ed States Senator Moses b.
Clapp, who, as presiding officer,
brought all his influence to bear
upon the leaders OF the rival
candidates for governor to the
end that the several contests
S should be fought out in the com
mittee on credentials rather
than on the floor of the conven-
ton. While he was not entirely
successful in this effort, he wore
out the spirit of those who on
Thursday were loud in their
threats of a bolt.
The nomination for Governor
was settled by the adoption Of
the Dunn minority report, and
the Princeton mans adherents
were quick to see the significance
of the event. The Collins men,
seeing themselves beaten, accept
ed defeat with a good grace and
did not present the name of their
candidate. Congressman Eddy
also withdrew and the nOmina-
ton of Dunn was by reclamation.
The endorsement of Moses E.
Clapp to succeed himself in the
United Statos Senate seems to
put at rest any talk Of a contest
for his seat.
On a roll call the minority or
Dunn report was adopted amid
a great demonstration by the
Dunn men. The vote was 622 to
$50. AS $50 votes are necessary
to nominate, it was seen that
Dunn had enough votes regard

United States Marshal Grim
shaw, who was chairman of the
Hennepin county Collins delega-
ton, made a speech in which he
announced that Notwithstanding
the fact that they had been un-
seated, they were still republi,
cans and wood support the ticket
named. The 113 mem bers of
the unseated delegation then left
the hall amid the hearty applause
oftheir opponents.
The other contests were quick
ly adjusted and the report of the
committee as amended was then

SHOULD SETTLE DIFFERENCES:--DE-
FEAT AHEAD!

WITH two republican tickets
in the field this fall there is no
denying the fact that the demo
Gratis stand pretty good chance
of carrying Wisconsin with their
state ticket. Perhaps none of
the stalwart leaders are willing
to concede that the LaFollette
ticket is a republican ticket, and
it is mighty sure that one of the
administration men will acknow-
ledge that the Cook ticket is re
publican. So there you are. It
remains to be seen whether
either faction of the party can
muster enough votes to elect
over the democratic nominee,
whoever he may be. Two years
ago the republican plurality in
state was So, 500 votes, Rose hav-
ing received J is, 010 and LaF'ol-
lette 1913, Az. On the basis of
that vote 26,755 republicans who
voted for LaFollette changing to
Cook would leave the democrats
in the lead. But the vote in the
off year was much lighter than
in the presidential year. and the
vote of four years ago will per-
haps serve better to give the
conditions as they may be ex-
pected this year. Four years
ago Governor LaFollette re-
ceived 264,419 votes, against
1864 for Bomrich, the demo
cratic nominee. Lakollette's
plurality therefore was 100, 800.
It is reasonable to suppose that
more than So, 1875 stalwarts who
voted for LaF'ollette will vote for
Cook. It is also reasonable to
suppose that a great many demo
Gratis who voted for LaFollette
willreturn to their party now
that they can see chance of
winning. There is hardly more
than one conclusion to be gath
ed from these figures, and that
is that the repu blicans of Wis
consin must either come togeth-
er or through their blamed fool
row elect democratic state tick
ct. The Stalwarts have promised
that they would bring the matter
before the Supreme court, and
they are bound to do so in order
to keep their pledge with the
people. Should the Supreme
court refuse to consider the mat
ter then there should be board
of arbitration agreed upon, in
order that but one republican
ticket may be before the voters
this fall. Stalwarts ought to be
magnanimous and loyal enough
to accept LaF'ollette as their can
didate if he can be properly
placed upon a republican ticket,
and on the other hand if Cook
is rightfully entitled to the place
the LaFollette men should accept
him. If there is a genuine doubt
as to who is the regular republi-
can nominee that doubt should
be speedily removed, and if it is
not then the republicans will be
given two years to get good in,
because the democrats will GER
tainly be in power in Wisconsin
after January next.

Clovers on Wet Land.

Clovers differ greatly as to their abil-
ity to live with water at their roots.
Thus. the red varieties must be grown
on land where water does not stand. A
large proportion of the failures in get
ting catches Of clover are doubtless due
to the sowing of the seed on poorly
drained land. Where the red clover is
wanted and the land Is wet. the only
thing to do Is to drain It, so that the land
will dry out well In the spring and get
warm quickly, and so that 1t will remain
warm till late In the fall. Cold land is
not suitable to the growing of medium
and red clover. But with the alsike 1t ls
different. to degree, That variety will
stand more moisture than the other
kinds, but not SO much as some people
give II credit for.
