Consumption:

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Cat 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.
SCOTS EmulsioniSth
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
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

These are the days when the
small boys and girls are endangering
their lives and limbs by jumping or
bobsleighs and cutters and the worst
of it is there seems to be no law to
put stop to this dangerous sport,
except it be the whip in the drivers
hand, which in itself otter proves
another element Of danger. 1t is
true the temptation a passing sleigh
offers the festive kid to- 'ketch on
is irresistible to most chlldren-and
good sized girls and boys-and then
the danger in on. Grown people,
who have not forgotten they were
children once, will remember vivid
ly that they have borrowed or stolen
many a ride in this way and lodged
many whip fiourished over their
body by the testy owner, who quite
often swore ''cuss words" under his
breath at the drafted kids" The
children of today find equally as
much pleasure in this seductive sport
as did their parents before them, a
fact apparent to anyone who will
take the trouble to note the number
of youngsters who jump on and off
moving sleigh runners, even on the
crowded streets. Parents should
keep their children from jumping
on and off of sleds when in motion
for it is dangerous sport.
