WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed h~ourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
nacnt you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
v.5t all you can, eat all you
en-, that's the treatment and
Eats the best treatment.

the glorious war of 1912, the impor- tance of perfecting these smaller boats of destruction, which would hold a fleet of battleships at their mercy, be- comes apparent. One of these boats, the sample craft Fulton, has remained under water with gale raging over. head, of which those in the boat were in ignorance, for fifteen hours without discomfort to the crew. The French boat Narval, in May, 1900, traveled 26O miles at sea and was submerged for several hours. Those tests prove the applicability of the boats. One matter of importance, however, seems to have escaped general notice. If these boats are what they seem to be. they will add immensely to the safety and the dignity of smaller nations. They will make weak countries secure from naval attacks by powerful na- tions. The submarines bid fair to sound the death knell of blockades, and that of itself will bring new sit uation for international commerce and international law to consider.
