Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core Of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott's

ciated by musicians and perhaps by
laymen Ms we'll.
He was teaching his young son the
piano Keyboard by the inductlve sys-
tenn. and the boy. having learned all
the notes. both white and black. the
teacher began to review the lesson by
asking. "And now, Henry, show me A
fat"
Henry soon figured It out.
The next question was, "Where is G
sharp?"
That also proved easy.
After asking the boy several more
questions about sharps and flats,
the teacher said. where do you think
we shall find c tlat?'
Henry looked ut the keyboard long
and curiously; he put his finger on G.
and next on B, then he got down close
to the piano and after examining It
carefully replied. Il don't know. papa,
but guess it's gone down that crack
between B and c."

You see, we have no Use for IL man

is man VINO can do acts that appear
appallingly dangerous, but can do them
without any risk to himself. That is
what all these men can do and are

more"
An English bareback rider under
took to explain:
1T is all done with the shoulders -
he said. "The shoulders are the cen.
ter Of gravity in the air. 1t Is with
the muscles of the chest that the lift
and turn are both made. For ex.
ample, in back sOmersault you do
not throw yourself over with the kick
from the ground. You merely leap in
to the air, and then, with the muscles
of the stomach and chest, whip your
legs up over you, revolve around your
shoulders and come down Oh your feet.
That is the reason why all circus per-
formers are widest under the arms
and smallest around the waist. They
are built like greyhounds. Success.
