Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
/ And that's the way with
children. They are like young
piants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak. 49,.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 70 find
it and set the matter right.

WERE ROYALTY ENTERTAINED
Over a Hundred Invited Guests
of the Eastern Star

Silver State hall was never In it's
history the scene of a more briliian
or more enjoyable occasion than on
last evening. when the ladies of Sill
yer Star Chapter, No. 6, Order of the
Eastern Star, entertained more than
a hundred of their friends. That the
ers was again. proven. though proof
ladies, would ever have questioned 1t.
vailed last night that caused many TO
remark that they had never spent n
more enjoyable evening An absolute
lack of formality removed all con-
straint, while each member of the or
der appeared to be on the reception
and entertainment committee, intent
only upon seeing that the invited
guests had good time.
After the regular session of the
chapter the guests were ushered into
the lodge room, where a half hour
was spent in social pleasures. Tables
were then set, and banquet fit for a
king served thereon. Tempting salads
delicious cakes, sandwiches and cof-
fee delighted the guests and bore mute
but strong testimony or the skill of
the Winnemucca ladies.
AS soon as all had been served the
tables were cleared away and several
hours devoted to dancing. 1t was al
most 2 o'clock when the party regret
fully disbanded. congratulating the
hostesses of the occasion on its conf
plete success and taking away pleas
ant memories to be long treasured.

AN INTERESTING FIND
Bones of q Giant Unedrthed
m q Gravel Pit

While digging gravel from the pit
near the Winnemucca Sanitarium a
day or two ago, a force of workmen
under the direction of JOS Rougon un-
covered lot of bones, which from
their resemblance to part of the hu-
man skeleton, at once attracted Mr..
Rougon's attention. He gathered to-
gether all that were whole and in
a sufficient state of preservation to
admit of their being handed, and
look them to the once of Dr. w. l..
Samuels for further examination.
The doctor has examined them care
fully, and pronounces them to be por
lions of the skeleton of a human be-
ing. although a manor woman-of
gigantic stature. Two of the bones
are beyond doubt the metacaipal. or
bones of the hand. They are each
lour and one half inches in length,
bones of an average sized mans hand.
There is a well-preserved ulna almost
complete, which DR.. Samuels states
would measure fully sixteen inches.
other remnants are more or less bro
ken. but undoubtedly all belonged to
some prehistoric, perhaps anti-dilu-
Wan individual, whose height, 1t Is es
timated, must have been at east nine
feet and six inches, possibly ten feet.
Care Is being taken in digging out
the gravel in the hope that more of
the remains of the giant will be
brought to light.
