Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfe
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 20 find
it and set the matter right.

APRIL FOOL.
BY o. @. W.

If the Msyflowers and the violets
Are thinking of the spring,
Or should ope their soft furry ears
To hear the bluebirds sing,
Or turn their li.tle noses up
To breathe balmy air.
And lift their pretty eyelids
To see the world all fair,
Then violets would still be blus,
But with a creeping chill,
And Mayhowers blush a rosy pink
Hid under leaves 30 still.
Aud wind. flowers hang their little
heads,
In sorrow by the pool,
To think that Maybe is not spring
But just an April fool"

THE WAR IN The EAST.
Desperate Fighting and Tremen'
dous Loss OF Life.

During the past week the war in
the East has been pressed vigor-
ously by the land forces of the ia
panese, who at great cost of life
have captured several important
Russion strongholds and are grad
ually forcing the enemy back on
their Notifications at Port Arthur.
The following official dispatches
graphically describe the attack
upon and capture by the Japa-
nese of the almost impregnable
position of Kin Chou, at cost of
$4,000 men killed:
London, May 27.-The Japan.
ese Legation has received the fol-
lowing official dispatch from To-
kio:
kin Chow and the heights in
its vicinity have been taken and
our troops are pushing the Rus
SLAMS towards Port Arthur"
Toxic, May 27-After five hours
desperate fighting the Japanese
captured Kin Chou yesterday eve-
ming. Nan Quen Ling, strong
hold of the enemy, was taken la
ter, after a not fight. An artillery
duel still continues. A Russian
gunboat bombarded the japanese
left flank from Tslien Wan Bay,
while the Japanese warships work
ed with the army from Kin Chou
Bay.
The japanese troops have swept
the Russians from all their defen-
ces west of fallen Wan bay. 1t
is now imp obable that the latter
will be capable of forming any
other serious resistance in the
territory north of Port Arthur,
Vice Admiral Togo has now es.
tablished a complete blockade
around the Southern end of the
Lao Tung peninsula. This DOM.
pletely envelopes Port Arthur from
the eastward and probably marks
the opening of the first invest
msnt of the town and its fortifica-
tions.
Washington, May 27.-The fol-
lowing oablegram has been recei-
we'd at the Japanese Legation:
Toxic, May 27.-The command
or OF the army attacking Kin
Chow reports as follows:
"On May 81 reconnaissance was
made and the enemy's cannonad-

were S91, ,020 Is; current expenses,

improvement There are 697 convicts,
AZ of whom are in the reformatory,
and SIS are leased to county chain
gangs There were % deaths during
the year, 70 per cent being due to con-
sumption Captain Griffith strongly
recommends that special building be
erected. SO that such patents may be
isolated. Although the institution has
more than enough money to run it
for the year, it is recommended that
nothing be turned into the State
treasury, because about sS, will be
needed for the consumptives quarters
and more for new quarters for officers
and guards, the present quarters being
in very dilapidated condition.

droughts farming operations we're COM

Lead and-oil is the old fashion paint.
Devoe is zinc ground in with lead and
linseed oil: the best paint in the
world: and the cheapest, because it
takes fewer gallons than mixed paints
and it wears twice as long as lead-and-
oil. Nobody wants poor paint; there's
lots of it, though, in the world.

DUN & CO.'S TRADE REVIEW.
Cotton Fluctuations and Far East
War Clouds Factors in the Busi-
ness Situation During the
Holidays.

New York, Jan. 1.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S. weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say: Violent fluctuations in
cotton and uncertainty regarding the
situation in the far east were the only
significant factor in the business
situation during the holiday week.
Numerous expressions of confidence are
heard regarding the future, however,
especially at the west and south.
Manufacturing plants have taken a
longer vacation than last. year, but
many announce resumption of work ON
Monday. Textile mills are confronted
with a lacksof proper proportion be
tween prices of raw material and
finished products and it is evident that
costs of product on must be held down
in some way or much machinery will
become idle: Transportation lines are
we'll engaged in handling grain, live
stock, fuel and lumber, while earnings
thus far reported for December exceed
the previous year an average OF SO
per cent.
AS to: the textiles, the week has only
augmented unsettled conditions, es-
pecially as to cotton goods. In re-
sponse to the rise of raw material,
sellers advanced prices, but buyers
exhibited their customary reserve re-
garding new business, and the weeks
trading remained within a narrow
limit.
Failures this week numbered 232 in
the United States against 298 last
year.

State Bank Bills.

Richmond. Va, Jan. -4.-Governor
Montague sent to. the Assembly today
his veto of what is known as the
State bank bill. He says: 81 do nov
think it in accordance with public
sentiment or business policy to with
hold from our State banks the privi-
lege of the issuance of notes of circula-
tion. It is true that this privilege
has not been exercised for many years
by reason of the very large tax imposed
by the National Government. Yet no
one can foresee when it may be most
desirable or urgent to exercise such
authority.
"I would suggest that if the present
statute authorizing State banks Of cir
culation be Incompatible with any
existing law. the statute be not re-
pealed, but rather perfected to preserve
the full power of issuance"
