Salt pork is a famous old

years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.

ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared tor easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but

Plans for Sioux Falls Meeting Have
Been COMPLETED,

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 12.-Present
Indications are that the meeting Of the
South Dakota Press association in this
city January 81 and % will be the
largest and liveliest meeting in the
history Of that organization. In the
past it has been q case in the election
of officers for the office to seek the man,
and sometimes it has been hard work
to get men to accept the different Of
fees. Things have changed, and this
year, for some unknown cause, there
seems to ge plenty of candidates for
both the office of president and secre-
tary. Clate Tinan of the Kimball
Graphic and H. c. Shober of the High
more News have both been announced
candidates for the presidency for some
time. Now comes the announcement
that Levi Wait of Armour is also can
that after he had been slated for the
presidency year ago he was induced
to stand aside for one year under
promise that he would be elected to
succeed c. r. Allen of Brookings, the
present president. He proposes to hold
the members to this promise. Mr.. Ii
nan, however, is most popular among
the members of the organization and it
is doubtful If he can be beaten.
Dad" Bishop of Salem, formerly ed
itor of the Special of that place and the
Nolga Tribune, was in Sioux Falls Sat-
uFuuy ana ne announced 10 l1le ueWS-
paper men of this city that he had de-
cided to become candidate for the
position of secretary. Up to the pres
ent time it was believed that Glenn
Farley of the Madison outlook would
be reelected secretary without oppo-
sition, as he has filled the position for
number of years to the satisfaction Of
the members of thee association. Mr..
Bishop is a sure enough candidate.
however, and he will have a good fol-
lowing. These contests, together with
the fact that the local newspaper men
have arranged elaborate entertainment
for the state editors on the occasion
of their visit, will bring out a large at
tendance. 1t is believed that from 140
to $50 of the members of the associa-
ton will attend the coming Sioux Falls
meeting.

The remarkable test was suggested by
the desire of the company to throw the

According to the rules light that is
not burning has the same significance as
red light, or danger signal. but the
Northwestern limited hurried by without
stop. Suburban trains stopped at the
station and then pulled away, taking no
notice of the extingu.shed light. One

station men, had his attention called to
the signal just as his train was leaving
