HAD TO HIDE 1T

A mother wrote us recently
that she had to keep SCOTS
Emulsion under lock and key
her children used to drink
it whenever her back was
turned. Strange that children
should like something that is
SO good for them. It's usu-
ally the other way. SCOTS
Emulsion makes children
comfortable, makes them fat
and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps
that's why they like it so
much-they know it makes
them feel good.

INTRICATE GAME OF CHESS.
Played Aboard Ocean Liner and One
 Move Occupied Entire Day.

From the New York World.
 Eight masters of chess were on board the Hamburg American liner Pretoria. They are to play in the international chess tournament at Cambridge Springs, Pa.
 The experts were Dr. Emanuel Lasker. Michael Tschigorin, R. Teichman, Carl Schlechter, G. Marco, and D. Janowski, from the continent; F. J. Marshall, the American crack, and J. F. Laurence. the new English player. Victor Tfetz. treasurer of the Carlsbad Chess Club. was also on the ship. Marshall went abroad more than two years ago. Moses will arrive on the Graf Waldersee, which sailed on April 9.
 The Pretoria was fourteen days on the way, and the experts practiced in the smoke room. They experimented with new combinations, ana one player would purposely get into position of great difficulty just to see if he could pull himself out again.
 Finally they paired off and entered up- on game that lasted four days. The moves were without time limit. Black.
