every sail drawing taught to the
breeze Of prosperity and financial
stability. One of the very important
conclusions reached at the Harrisburg
conference was that each club should
post a forfeit of $500 as a guarantee to
play out the season and TO live up TO
the spirit Of the rules. This sum is
payable from each club on March first,
when It is probably that the schedule
will be adopted and every arrange

Another important matter which the

WHY DOES
A BABY CRY 2

Because it is either hun
cry or in pain. Properly
nourished it will usually grow
up right and be comfortable
that's the principal thing
for a baby. If its food lacks
strength and nourishment
add SCOTS Emulsion at feed
ing time. A few drops will
show surprising results. If a
baby is plump it is reason
ably safe. SCOTS Emulsion
makes babies plump.
