Consumption:

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptive 50 and 100
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.
Scott SEmulSionis themod-
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 for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle. but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
Of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion

SIGN IT
City Enters Inc Contract
 for Water Supply

Attho meeting of the city council last night the mayor and the city clerk were authorized on behalf of the city Co sign the contract with the W. P. N '. R. for pun ing water into the mains otthe city. The contract price i5 SlOO per month, which includes the use of tuc company's reservoir. The con- tract coutemplatCs the operation of its pImp for 10 hours a day to its full, capacity. There was provision that in Che event that the water consumption ot the city should be such JhaJi. would require a greater service, under 20 circumstance should thecost be greater than SZTl per month. The Capic..y of the pump in question is IGooo gallons an hour. and without difficulty iJ will. handle 10000 gallons per 10 houUs
 Experts say that in a small ,0wa, 50 gallons of water per capita Is. very I.rge daily c9usump, on. Estimating rhe population of Skagvay a, l50u, and taking tt for granted that every body will b. supplied from the munscipa. water system, 75,ooo g.llous per day wouId be very large supply for the city. Ths possibility that the cost of pumping will ever exceed s,u1 per month Is very remote, and i- would contemplate such a growth 0i the ,oHn that t- could easily afford the payment of the extra toll.
 The life of the contract is for one year and lr provides that after that time ic may be terminated at the option of either party provided that tt s-au frs, Et-e the other party six month, notice.
 The contract also provides that the city shall have the use Q. the water supply free of cost forever, should it decide Co 5o it's own pumping at any time.
