The word carnival means fare
well to meat, from carne, meaning

WHILE we are hurrahing for a
larger navy, it may profit us to
remember that an ordinary battle
ship costs as much as 1000 farms,
including buildings, tools and live
stock. The expense of keeping it
ahoat costs a couple of farms every
day, and single discharge of its
batteries consumes the value of Il
township of the best land in New
England. Moreover, its average
life is not much greater than the
average life of an army mule.

when the butter won't

proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because. it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
Stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

A Good Thing for Missouri.

A number of years ago State Au-
dltor Allen became convinced that a
large amount of money was due the
State Of Missouri from the general
government chiefly from back interest
on certain Union military bonds issued
and paid BY thisLState for expenses dur
ing the civil war. He set to work to
look it up and after many months Of
patient labor he discovered some
$4,000 which he believed was legit.
mately due the State.
An agent of the government was
sent to Jefferson City and examined
the records and found the Auditor
discoveries to be correct. A claim wa.
thereupon filed with the Treasury De
partment and d bill has been intro
dueed nto Congress asking that al
aspiration of this amount be made t
reimburse the State. Similar claim
have been filed from other states anC
have been promptly appropriated 1
is the opinion that Missouri will surel,
get the money.

VIEWS OF HOLIDAY.
Difference Regarding Application OF

Commissioners Mcfarland and West APP
pear to hold opposite views with reference
to the granting of a Saturday half holiday
to employees of the District. Mr.. West does
not believe that the business of the Dis
trict would suffer materially II the clerks
In the District service were allowed to
cease from their labors at noon Saturdays.
Commissioner mcfarland stated that he
did not believe 1t would be wise to permit
the clerks of the District to leave off their
work at noon Saturdays. In many of the
offices, he said. there Is an immense amount
OF work to be done, and the District can
hardly spare the time of several hundred
clerks for half day In each week.
Corporation Counsel Duvau has held that
the decision of the courts that Saturday
afternoon is legal holiday In the District
applies to negotiable instruments and does
not affect the routine work of the District
service Mr.. mcfarland states that In
view of the fact that the District IL asking
for more clerks to perform the work OF the
District he does not deem 1t advisable to
grant the District employees half holiday
Saturdays unless 1t IL decided that the re-
cent decision is mandatory on the Com
missioners to close the ofiices OF the Dis
trict during Saturday afternoons.
