"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t 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 SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS 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 1t is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.

LABOR SCARCE IN MISSISSIPPI.
An Effort tc Secure Japanese for Lum
Der Mills to be Made.

Memphis Tenn. oct. 21.-The labor
situation along the line of the Gulf &,
Ship Island railroad is becoming de-
cidedIy serious. This is particularly
true from the standpoint of the large
lumber manufacturers, number OF
whose plants are forced to shut down
because of the inability to secure the
necessary amount Of help. The stu
alton has become so critical that the
lumber men have appealed to the in
d,tstrial and immigration agent of the
Gulf < Ship Island, with view to en-
listing his services in securing more
labor Mr.. Bousog, who holds this
position. is Of the opinion that he can
secure number Of japanese and
efforts looking to that end are now UNI
der way. The Japs ar" very skllfui IN
all wood working lines in their oWh
country, and it is pointed out by MI
soIslog that they do moi care for near
50 many holidays as the Negroes an
white laborerS in tn" south.
one Of the principal causes of
scarcity of labor among the lumber
mills is the fact that the greater
portion of the white men who have
been heretofore INNING tlllpiDN lll-lll III
these. PLANTS have gone into business
for themselves. The present may b"
said to be an era of truck-grOWing in
Southern Mississippi. and every man
who coull muster enough capital e.
plant a small patch in some kind of
truck product has done 50 with the re-
suit that other lines Of activity in
which they have been engaged are suf-
fering from neglect. Still another fac
tor that operates against the mill men

They feel more independent because
they work whn they please and qui
when they please.
1T is pointed out by some that th'
vagrancy law enacted in Mississippi
has had the effect of driving out larg.
numbers of the Negroes. but the more
serious minded observers of the stu
alton take no stock in this theory.

1900. 600 TONS SHORT.
The Bituminous Coal Output OF Penn
sylvanIa.

| PHILADELPHIA Pa, Oct. 21.-The
production of bltuminouS coal in the
central district of this state has been
! less by more than 100000 tons this
| wear than it was III the same period
! last year. Shipments of the product
: over. the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad alone
have fallen off more than 600. 600 tons.
To the operator the situation has be-
/ come alarming and he says there is lit
tie hope Of Improvement until the wage
scale is made next year. The slump
! is attributed to the sharp competition
| of West Virginia operators.
The central district of Pennsylvania
is virtually the only one shipping coal
! to tidewatcr ana other Atlantic coast
| markets in which the miners are or
@tnizrd. Virginia. MARYLAND ana West
| Virginia miners are not organized, ana
! although the market has been inactive
| and prices low. the mines in those

several months, while the 40, 900 miners

have been idle greater oprtion of that

because Of the six-cent differential
| in freight rates favoring the Maryland.
Virginia and West Virginia operators.
Pennsylvania men say the SOutherners
are given an additional advantage by
the railroads. They can ship their
coal to Norfolk and other ports on the
Atlantic coast ana make better prices
even i'm New York than the central
Pennsylvania operators can be ship
ping all rail to New York and other
markets in the Eastern states. In the
unorGHniZed districts coal can be sold
from fifteen to thirty cents a ton lowe
at the mines than the operators of this
state can sell it. Demurrage charges

the central district in the face. The

central district operators that the Nor
folk e Western and Chesapeake &
ohio roads. handling coal from the I'M
organized districts. frequently waive
demurrage charges and thus give the
operators of the three Southern states
an additional advantage in close COM
petition.
The Wabash, which owns the Davis
Coal and Coke interests in West Vir-
gnia will soon enter the soft coal
markets of this city, New York and all
New England ports, and make the
market still closer. So confident are
the operators of mines in unorganized
districts that they will get the bust
ness. when competing with the central
district operators. handicapped with
such odds, that they have established
many new selling agencies in this and
other North Atlantic cities and repre-
scntatives run down every prospective
order.
The statement Of the coal shipped
over the lines of the Huntington &,
Broad Top railroad, just issued. shows
that for this year there has been q de-
crease on that line of 500 1876 tons COM
pared with the same period of last
